The Black Grape, Edinburgh
Small plates, fine wine, and seductive cocktails have made their way to Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. This beautifully designed wine bar and restaurant has recently opened with an inventive menu that tasted every bit as good as it sounded, whether you’re after a quick glass of wine or a feast. The seasonal menu features a selection of small plates that highlight the best of Scotland’s fare. Edinburgh has a plethora of fantastic restaurants and The Black Grape is right up there with the best of them.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
