Grand Cru Edinburgh is a restaurant, cocktail bar and lounge at 79 Hanover Street in the New Town. Its all-day format moves from breakfast and brunch into lunch, dinner and late-night drinks, giving the venue a livelier character than a conventional dining room.
The food offer covers familiar, substantial dishes suited to an informal city-centre meal. Breakfast plates, brunch choices, lighter lunches and evening mains provide options across the day, with vegetarian and gluten-free choices available on the current menu.
Coffee and soft drinks make the space practical earlier in the day, while cocktails, wine and beer become a stronger part of the experience in the evening. The broad selection helps it serve mixed groups whose plans may extend from dinner into drinks rather than ending after the meal.
Live DJs and lounge-style surroundings shape the later atmosphere, so Grand Cru is particularly well suited to social occasions and weekend gatherings. Guests seeking a quieter meal may prefer an earlier sitting, and anyone with allergies or dietary requirements should confirm current dishes with staff.
Address: 79 Hanover Street, Edinburgh EH2 1EE, Scotland
