Reviews of Grand Cru

K. L.

Enjoyed the drinks and very attentive staff.

C. B.

Nice place, music got a bit too loud on Friday night and we had to shout to make ourselves heard. It's not a night club so no need for deafening music. This would make me reconsider booking again (for after 9pm) which is a shame as I like the bar.

B. W. (. B.

Thoroughly enjoyed the visit, we all sat by the window enjoying the warmth of the late afternoon sun, all drinks perfect, good service, great ambience, very good background music, what's not to like, and very fair pricing for centre of town.

m. k.

This was just a brief stop off for a cheeky drink, simply to fill in the time before our meal at another nearby venue. It looked great when we'd passed by earlier in the day and wanted to see for ourselves. As with most places now they have a track and trace process in place. It is straight forward and hassle free to enable you to go on enjoying yourselves. We had a lovely seat in the window on a gorgeous evening. There was a screen between ourselves and other patrons enjoying a drink to ensure safe social distancing. Pleasant service from staff. The seating is comfy, clean and more importantly the drink was excellent. I'd enjoyed a very flavoursome Long Island ice tea. Reasonably priced and offers available on certain drinks. Well worth a visit.

R. C.

Had a great time. Friendly staff and lovely bar. Definitely be back soon

A. C.

Large space although quite busy and difficult to find a seat. Located in central Edinburgh, good option for a drink or food. The staff was nice and helpful, they tried to free up a table for us as soon as possible. We didn’t try any special drinks as we wanted to have dinner. Totally recommend the nachos as a starter, the portion was huge (and was not the sharing plate). The Caesar Salad was tasty. The Chicken supreme is a good healthy option, however the Fish & Chips were not that great. The atmosphere is very friendly and the menu has a lot to offer.

T. N.

Liked it enough to go twice in two days. Great food and friendly staff and service.

S. S.

Nice place for a quite drink at this time of night on a week day , staff were excellent too will definitely be back again

J. T.

Lovely bar with a warm friendly atmosphere.

m. w.

Very good place to stop for a drink and something to eat prices are good for the location

H. M.

Cocktails were decent. Bit loud inside if you want to have a chat.

J. H.

Fab breakfast, great staff on both the occasions that we went. Had the grand Cru breakfast, couldn't fault it. Would definitely go again. Coffee good too!

D.

Great atmosphere and good prices

J. M.

Outdoor seating is a winner. Cocktails arrived quickly, staff were polite & helpful, fitted 4 of us in without a booking. Will definitely go back

L. C.

Great food and drinks. Quiet environment with friendly and helpful staff.

R. L.

Great cocktails and delicious nachos! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere - just a really great experience!

D. T.

Always great service - food & drinks all reasonably priced. Have been multiple times and always works out very well.

V. M.

Cool place to have a cocktail after work! Lots of cocktail and even the Italian Aperol Spritz! Nice music and food!

M. F.

We stopped in for a burger and a beer. Ordered a couple of the Grand Cru burgers which were really tasty. Not a huge choice of draught beer but still found one I liked. Staff all seemed to be following all the current guidelines.

R. H.

Always an amazing time. Super friendly staff.

T. S. T.

Great attentive customer service and good food.

G. H.

Two course meal for £7.95 during weekdays before 4pm!

K. S.

The staff was very friendly and attentive. We were offered a seat and some checked if we were ok every other time. The food was cheap (2 course meal for £8.95) but underwhelming. Not bad neither fantastic. We had the Burger and Pasta with mushrooms. The pasta was fine, the burger wasn't so great. There isn't a specific card for the non-alcoholic drinks which was (to us) kind of confusing. The facilities were nice, modern and offered a good place to sit. Although we sat in the back which was a little dark. The restrooms weren't that clean.

P. D.

It's not very often I give a five star rating. But I feel this place deserves it. I can't fault it. Nice atmosphere and plenty of seating and table room. Staff from the outset were great. Couldn't do enough for me and very attentive. Had soup and a burger here. Soup was delicious as was the burger of which I really enjoyed. The staff made sure I was ok and enjoying my meal. And brought drinks as required. A visit here is a must you won't be disappointed .

C. W.

Nice bar with a decent atmosphere. We ate here as well and the food was pretty good, but there was absolutely mountains of it! Certainly not a bad thing, none of us got anywhere close to finishing our meals. You could easily have one to share.

M. B.

Really excellent cocktail bar. The cocktails themselves are very good, and they have a decent selection of draught beers. Not bad prices, either. I'm not sure if it's something they do all the time, but I once went early evening for drinks after work, and they brought out complimentary appetizers, which I thought was a really nice touch. I'll definitely be back.

G. F.

Great bar and the drinks and cocktails were spot on, but the food was just so meh....I was in a group of 6 and we all felt the same. It was like wetherspoons food really. The burgers looked awful, I had a pasta dish that seemed to confused with a stir fry. But apart from that the staff were incredible and would recommend for a drink, just not food

L. V.

We had a nice window table. Good location near city centre. Music was a little too loud. Service ok, quite friendly staff. The starter - haggis balls with peppercorn sauce - was very very nice. Totally recommend for people who have never tried haggis and are a bit apprehensive. The batter on the haggis balls is light and beautifully crispy and the sauce complements it perfectly so the unique texture of haggis is fine. Main course - chicken breast with olives - nothing special and the meat was quite tough. Wouldn't order again. But go for the haggis balls, it's a starter but there are four of them and they are filling so it's enough, like having a main.

J. W.

Great bar. Staff are great, the atmosphere is good and it’s reasonably priced. We were in a group of 10 and it was easy to book the table, and I got my deposit back immediately on arrival.

A. Q.

Grand Cru in Hanover Street – a very warm welcome from the security at the door and then the staff inside, drinks arrived within 5 minutes of our order, the staff were fantastic and the place had a friendly atmosphere! Highly recommend!

D. A.

Went for lunch in early afternoon. 2 courses for £8.95 and a bottle of house wine for £11. Bargain for city centre Edinburgh. Had mussels with tomato and basil sauce and fish and chips. Delicious! Good choice of main course and starters. Sweet choice excellent and well presented. Cosy place-We sat in a comfortable booth- and attentive service. Less than £46 for 3 people with wine. Bargain!

U.

Lovely staff, best customer service I've had in a while. Also good food, amazing prices, nice environment, even the playlist was really enjoyable. I'll surely come back.

A. d. Z.

Attractive but ultimately cold and unfriendly decor, leaving the bar feeling very impersonal. Adequate for post-work beers or cocktails but have never been able to feel relaxed or comfortable here. Beers are very standard fare but I have noticed them featuring ales lately. This is no reflection on the staff who seem friendly and competent.

D. S.

Great service, helpful friendly staff. The food is excellent and really good value for the money. Long treck to the ladies toilet which is the only negative but they are very clean.

M. B. (.

Highly recommend location for breakfast. Very comfortable and enough tables so that u won't have to wait unlike the other locations around this. Our breakfast was delicious and not even expensive. We'll come back here for sure.

D. S.

Went with a few colleagues on a Friday night. The crowd is a bit young like early 20s mostly but they had good tunes and the cocktails were great. Reasonable prices for George Street.

J. M.

Lovely clean place. Welcoming staff but wait times are pretty lengthy...40 minutes for two cold starters! Food is okay but nothing to shout about, however staff are attentive and genuinely seemed interested in feedback.

A. G.

Great place. Friendly staff. Will go back.

D. R.

Went here for breakfast. We wanted Bucks fizz which wasn't on the menu, but the waiter was happy enough to provide us all the ingredients. Everyone enjoyed their food, but my waffle was cold.

l. h.

Had a wonderful night all thanks to hazel, she has been so attentive without being over baring. She was able the recommend drinks for us after our second round. She knew what best suited us and made it a fun game between her and the bar staff............hazel won. Thanks you for a wonderful Xmas night, got me right in the Christmas spirit .... thank you Hazel

S. C.

Popped in here for lunch today - pretty good prices - £5 for very generous sized panini and chips, although there isn't a huge choice on the lunch menu. Lots of different choices of seating from tables to sofa seats and booths. The toilets are down the stairs and shared with Bar Napoli below. One thing to note is that its quite baby friendly (once you've got the buggy up the stairs) - plenty of space to park and pram and the staff were rather lovely.

A. W.

As someone who has the occasional shift finishing at 1 in the morning, I need a place in town that isn't a club where I can go for an after work drink. Grand Cru is pretty much it by default. They have booths at the back which are good for a wee group. But on the weekend, it gets pretty pretty messy with drunks. Service at the bar is slow, and I had the worst excuse for an Old Fashioned I have ever tasted. I'll be drinking beer (or the occasional jaeger bomb!) only here from now on. But, its not trying to be fancy. If you're not ready to go dancing, but you still want to drink, and the bar you were in has closed for the night, do what most of the rest of the George street crowd do, and head here.

L. B.

Gorgeous authentic Italian food and Good wine list also. Service quick and friendly too. Highly recommend as really good value considering Edinburgh prices.

W. M.

Been here a few times on other peoples suggestions due to its slap bang central location. Has a reputation for being very 'George street', (humans go to show themselves off). Can get ram jammed busy on a Friday and Saturday night so go earlier to get a table/seat. Both times I've eaten here the food was very good.

H. C.

Grand Cru never lets me down! I continue to go back for dinner as they have delicious food, big portions and it's very reasonably priced. It has a sophisticated layout and the cocktails are vey yummy (and so cheap mid-week!).

A. d. L.

Decently priced drinks in a slightly lukewarm setting. Grand cru is clean, well priced and has plenty of seating. Panoramic windows also offer a lovely view of Hanover Street. It is a fully functional yet curiously unremarkable bar.

K. M.

All the staff are lovely. Food was amazing. Also a great selection of cocktails.. we will definitely be back.

R. M.

It's an inviting atmosphere for a night out. Staff were friendly and attentive.

D. R.

Agree with all other reviews the cocktails are great and venue is chilled. Food is good and reasonable. Bar staff - particularly the men - arrogant and uninterested off-putting when there are other places with fantastic customer service with a smile and a friendly word!

M. P.

Pretty simple bar. Could probably do with a bit of TLC. Good set menu option though and fantastic drinks deals mid week. The service was also really good.

H. M.

Great atmosphere, music not too loud, great panini and wraps. Comfy chairs , big enough tables. Staff very attentive and helpful .

C. T.

Great food and atmosphere

S. H.

Excellent food at reasonable prices

J. M.

Great night..thank you.. We were a party of 16 and thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would definately recommend.. Set menu was So good value..lovely food..great service..lovely friendly bar staff....will be back

J. K.

A good location and decent cocktails. Usually rammed at the weekend, and a bit of a magnet for young professional types. Often difficult to find a place to sit, and has quite an austere atmosphere. Unremarkable.

I. P.

Not really happy about this place...nothing special..is true i been there in the week...for drink some pint is fine.. very disappoint about the food...i took a chicken burger...the bun was old for sure 1 o 2 days...chicken very dry...maybe i try one more time... i will see

L.

Not bad nightlife. Sometimes good urban music but DJ on the night couldnt play a consistent set, was very much hit and miss throughout the night. He seemed to be shuffling a spotify playlist as he sometimes left the booth

R. A.

Big picture windows to catch the sun, great service, awesome burgers, a lovely afternoon

A. M. S.

I love Grand Cru, the food is great, waiters are amazingly welcoming and the place got a nice atmosphere. The only thing I would say is that the toilets urgently needs an upgrade.

R. C.

Popped in for lunch and had the club sandwich. Staff were friendly, the sandwich was tasty, interior was clean and comfortable - I sat by one of the windows, and prices were sensible.

R. H.

If you like fish and chips order it here! The fish was huge, could only just finish it. Definitely recommend.

C. R.

We were there for lunch today very good would definitely go back. The waitress Laura was very pleasant couldn't do enough for us.

J. F.

Great American breakfast. I have visited both urban angel and grand cru, one day apart and the grand cru is more chilled out. More me and more for your pound. Good food at a good price.... Check it out

H. C.

Had a fantastic time enjoyed the cocktails and the food was great staff were very helpful and friendly

M. M.

Food is ok, but not well presented. Poached egg very hard so had to be sent back. Service was slow, waited about 20 minutes for a coffee. wouldn't return

A. B.

Typical loud bar. No issues but don't expect anything outside the usual mass market brand drinks and commercial music.

l. M.

Friendly staff bargain menu was very good value for money. Had salad to start and chicken wrap for main all for £8.95

A. I.

Fantastic value at £8.95 for 2 courses. Staff were all very attentive. Will definitely be back.

M. W.

Good food and service. Value for money. Not so busy as to be too noisy to blether. Relaxed.

D. Ç.

A mixed ambient with a light, colorful entrance and a dark, old dinner tables in the back. Food and service is mediocre. Portions are considerably big.

C. S.

(Translated) Comfortable lounge chairs and tables on the large window fronts against the street invite you to linger in the afternoon - that was also the reason for our visit. In the evening until late at night, however, it is mainly alcoholic that is consumed here. The cocktails are slightly cheaper here (£ 6.50 - 7.50) than in the surrounding pubs. For £ 105 you get a bottle of gin with 6 cans of redbull. (Original) Bequeme Loungessel und -tische an den grossen Fensterfronten gegen die Strasse laden am Nachmittag zum Verweilen ein - das war auch der Grund für unseren Besuch. Abends bis spät in die Nacht wird hier aber hauptsächlich alkoholisches konsumiert. Die Cocktails sind hier leicht günstiger (£ 6.50 - 7.50) als in den umliegenden Pubs. Für £ 105 kriegt man hier eine Flasche Gin mit 6 Dosen Redbull.

(Translated) The amount is very generous, the staff very helpful presentation leaves slightly to be desired. But considering that it is not a real restaurant quality is not bad.
