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.

    Room was cute but small. Ridiculously expensive for what we got. Bed was apparently a King (which is what we paid for) but looked smaller than a Queen bed to us. Room was at front of hotel and was very noisy some nights until almost 1am. When we complained and asked to be possibly moved to a quieter room, they said they would try to and get back to us. We never heard another word from them so we stayed in the noisy room.

    My 2 night stay at Black Ivy was incredible. Everything from the hotel, the rooms, the bar, food and service was brilliant. I booked at the last minute so was a bit pricey but definitely worth it. I loved the room, so spacious and luxurious. Nice view to the park too. The bar is excellent and a great spot for breakfast.
