“With a view to the beautiful Bruntsfield Links, Black Ivy is ideally situated, a short walk to main bus routes to the city centre. An excellent and reasonably priced menu offers something for everyone. The option to sit outside beneath a retractable awning is ideal for the Scottish weather. The food was good, service equally good. Great atmosphere. I would recommend booking in advance. It gets busy.”
