Best Date Night Restaurants in The Royal Mile

This was our second visit to Three Blind Mice. We went last year after the Panto and did the same this year. We have twins who are 12 and asked them where they would like to go for dinner in Edinburgh this year. They said they wanted to go back to Three Blind Mice because they loved it so much last year. This year was no different. The staff are so friendly and the ambiance in perfect. David was our server as he was last year. He is so cheery, funny and interested in every table he serves. He is a real credit to your business. The food was excellent as always and very reasonably priced. Located withing sight of the Royal Mile the location is great. We will be back next year. We would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

We had the chateaubriand for two and although the meat was not quite filet mignon. (As we thought), it was delicious and perfectly cooked. Great Mac nd cheese (not dry) and mashed potatoes. Our server, Lea, was fantastic! Definitely return and recommend!

My partner and I visited The Black Grape on Christmas Eve and had the pleasure of trying their festive menu. It was an unforgettable experience! The attention was absolutely wonderful; the staff was incredibly kind and attentive at all times, creating a warm and welcoming holiday atmosphere. Coming from Spain, we were excited to try something new, and the festive menu exceeded all our expectations. Every dish was a delightful surprise, full of unique flavors that were completely different from what we're used to back home. Each bite was crafted with care and truly captured the spirit of the season. If you're looking for excellent food and top-notch service, especially during the holidays, The Black Grape is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Always so nice and friendly Good food and nice atmosphere

Just spent a wonderful evening at Merchants. The food was 10/10, staff were excellent and ambience perfect for a pre Christmas meal. This was our first visit to Merchants and it definitely won’t be our last! Thank you for a lovely evening!
