Today, we’re taking you on a journey – a day at Black Ivy, where fun and flavour collide.  

As a prominent Edinburgh hotel and restaurant, we’re all about crafting unforgettable moments for our customers, and what better way to do that than with a perfect day from morning till night? So, join us as we walk you through what a day at Black Ivy truly looks like. 

 

Morning: Exploring breakfast options and nearby attractions. 

Our adventure begins early, as we wake up in one of our cosy and unique rooms. There’s nothing like starting the day with the sun peeking through the curtains and the smell of traditional Scottish breakfast wafting up the stairs.  

Imagine rolling out of bed and heading straight down to the restaurant for breakfast cooked just for you. We’ve got it all – from hearty classics to mouthwatering options that even the pickiest eater will love. 

After fuelling up, it’s time to step outside and explore the neighbourhood. Black Ivy is nestled in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh, a charming Edinburgh district that is just a stone’s throw away from the city centre and a treasure trove of attractions. Whether you’re up for a leisurely stroll in the nearby Meadows Park or a visit to the Royal Mile, it’s all within easy reach.
