Black Ivy is a stylish neighbourhood bar and restaurant, just five minutes from Edinburgh city centre, serving breakfast, brunch and Sunday roast.

The Conservatory Dining Room provides a touch of vintage elegance, with antique chandeliers and hanging plants. Look out for an entire floor made of nickel coins, which glisten and sparkle in the light!

The Outdoor Terrace is open all year round, where you can dine in the sunshine by day, or cosy up under the retractable roof and heaters during the evening.

Breakfast is served every day from 8am to 12pm. The Black Ivy Grills include a 'Full Scottish Skillet', with dry cured back bacon, pork sausages, roasted tomato, mushrooms, beans, potato scone, black pudding, haggis, toast and eggs cooked the way you like! Push the boat out with Steak and Eggs, a chargrilled rump steak served with free range fried eggs and hash browns.

Vegetarian and Vegan Breakfast Skillets are also available, including vegan sausages, smashed avocado and roasted tomatoes. 

A full range of breakfast and brunch favourites are also on the menu, from buttermilk pancakes (sweet or savoury) to breakfast rolls and Black Ivy Bennys - poached eggs topped with hollandaise and your choice of toppings. 

Upgrade your Brunch experience and enjoy Black Ivy's cocktail brunch accompanied with a Mimosa on arrival and three additional cocktails from the Brunch menu, including a French or espresso martini or an Aperol spritz. Start this delicious menu with freshly baked pastries with homemade preserve, cured meats, oatcakes, cheese and fresh fruit, followed by a Brunch dish.

Black Ivy Sunday Roasts are becoming an Edinburgh institution and are available from 12pm to 10pm every Sunday. Enjoy roast striploim of Scottish beef, chicken supreme or a vegan nut roast served with giant Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, roasted root vegetables, seasonal greens and a silky homemade gravy for only £21.

    The hotel itself is very nice, and the bar is lovely. staff were great, very friendly and helpful. the rooms were clean and well-decorated. however, we had two significant issues with it. firstly, the shower is awkward to operate. the heating switch doesn’t look like it moves, and so we couldn’t figure out how to change the temperature for ages. secondly, and more importantly - our room was roasting hot. staff tried to fix it, but were unsuccessful. we appreciated their efforts but nonetheless we slept in a scorching room.

    Luxurious and beautiful without being stuffy. The view to the park was extraordinary! Staff were fantastic! Bar and restaurant downstairs if needed. Easy access to bus and walking around area. Had the best experience and would highly recommend.
