- JJohnEdinburgh/Midlothian •8 reviews4.0Dined on 14 Feb 2025We had a very good meal and the service was excellent. It was marvellous to get a proper French meal with escargots, chateaubriand and tarte tatin - an excellent set dinner with a bottle of red Bordeaux wine. The price, however was more elevated than it might have been, but I am perhaps a bit out of date.More infoBistro du Vin EdinburghPrice: Expensive• French• Old Town•4.1
