About Le Di-Vin
Le Di-Vin is a French-style wine bar in Edinburgh, on a side street just off Princes Street at 9 Randolph Pl. The bar occupies a converted old Polish church, and its mezzanine level hosts private parties and group get-togethers, with a buffet offered for those events. The wine list covers reds and whites from around the world. The food menu includes charcuterie boards of meat and cheese, oven-baked Camembert and French snails. The bar opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Charcuterie boards are what reviewers return to most, described as generous enough to make a meal, though one finds the meat and cheese board short on variety, with three pieces of Brie and only four crackers. The wine list draws praise for its range of reds and whites from around the world, with staff giving recommendations, and the oven-baked Camembert and French snails are called exceptional. The converted Polish church earns admiration, and several parties describe holding birthday gatherings on the mezzanine with a buffet they found delicious. Service is the recurring complaint. One reviewer says the mezzanine was ignored in favour of downstairs and the bill never arrived after two requests. Another felt rushed by one waitress, and a third reports unattended used plates and glasses, wasps at the table, and a jug of tap water and a bread basket they thought overpriced. A few call the room loud, more pub than wine bar, with one mezzanine group whistling for staff. One reviewer notes a server blocking the door to photograph another group without acknowledging them.

“The service was so in need of training. the question is - who does the training ? the owner of this business walked past our scruffy end of lunch table at least 3 times without lifting a finger to clear the used plates or glasses. so- no help to be found there. so while the rest of the platters- cheese & ham - happily melted in the wonderful Edinburgh sun- we looked on very unhappily. the seagulls were attacking the next door tables left overs. we only had wasps at our table. lucky us. When the bill arrived- also after several requests- i was stunned to silence to see that a jug of genuine Edinburgh tap water was being sold for £ 6.50. an utter disgrace. the bread basket made up of supermarket sliced bread & a couple of oatcakes came in just shy of £ 9.00 . I decided against calling for anyone to discuss these points. wrongly- i now feel- but at the time we all just wanted to leave. we had waited for so long for the bill to arrive- we just wanted to go. the leftovers had melted to a Salvador Dali lookalike & the seagulls were circling & no doubt plotting & planning their next attack. at least- unlike the staff of Di Vin - they had some kind of table clearing concept. all in all not an experience i would wish to repeat. so i will not be returning with any visitors i may be having over the festival period. how can i ? this is not a true representation of Scottish hospitality. £ 6.50 for a jug of tap water ? thank you & good bye.”

“Visited on Friday 31/7 with a couple of friends. Lovely building and a lovely layout. The charcuterie board was lovely, and we agreed that we’d be coming back to try the other one. (We made the mistake with the ordering and really should’ve gotten the mix of meat and cheese) The service was a mix of good and bad. One waitress in particular made us feel as though we were being rushed to leave. However, another waitress saved the night with her upbeat personality and chatted to us a few times throughout the night. The atmosphere was vibrant but was ruined at times with the big table on the mezzanine when they started whistling and hollering for attention from the staff. This was both annoying and ruined the atmosphere. Overall, it was a lovely venue and we aim to return in the future at one point.”

“Great selection of meats and cheeses, however, the service let it down. Granted it was a busy night but the staff seemed to ignore the people on the mezzanine area and concentrated more on the lower level. I asked for the bill twice, I even offered to go to the bar to pay and was told the bill would be brought to me. It wasn’t ! I ended up going to the bar to pay. On exiting , a server jumped in front of us blocking the door to take a photo of a group with no acknowledgement or apologies to us.”

“Lovely, relaxed French restaurant in out of the way street just off Princes Street. Excellent staff, food and wine selection. Reasonably priced food and drinks for being so close to the centre. Always seems to be frequented by locals. They even have a small mezzanine for private parties. We've been more than a few times and will be back soon.”
