Le Di-Vin

You'll find yourself on a quiet New Town street, pushing through the door into a space that feels more like a French salon than an Edinburgh drinking hole—all candlelit corners and worn wooden tables. The whole point here is the wine: the staff actually know what they're talking about, and they'll guide you through selections that go beyond the obvious. It's the kind of place where you can spend £15 on a glass and genuinely understand why, or nurse something modest and feel equally welcome. There's food too, simple stuff that doesn't try too hard, but honestly, you're here for what's in the glass.
