Biblos

Make no mistake – it’s not easy for a dining spot to stay popular for over 20 years, especially in a thriving foodie hub like Edinburgh’s Old Town.

But since opening in 1998, Biblos has been bringing in the crowds.

Maybe it’s the free live music, maybe it’s the huge windows ideal for people watching, or maybe it’s just the hearty gastropub grub.

Whatever the reason, you can try out this Chambers Street institution for yourself with today’s Big Deal…

Fantastic location

Biblos is a lively cafe bar, cocktail spot and music venue close to the Festival Theatre and Waverley station.

This Big Deal is for a two course meal for two from the special 5pm menu. Sparkle will be added to your meal with a lovely bottle of white or blush pink Prosecco to share.

The offer is valid seven days until the end of April, meaning you can make the most of it at weekends too (and hopefully enjoy a bit of live music in the process).

Gastropub cuisine

Here is a glance at a sample 5pm menu:

Chuffed customers

Here is a snippet from a recent rave Facebook review for Biblos:

‘My husband and I dined here yesterday. We had a three course meal which was delicious. Every course was deliciously cooked and very tasty. A great choice and everything was of ample portion size…’

Try out a true institution

Highly scoffable pub grub, live music and a fun atmosphere — Biblos has lots going for it as an Old Town dining spot.

And with this Big Deal on a two course meal for two, you can sip a lovely bottle of Prosecco as well.

Your only dilemma will be deciding whether to opt for the white or the rose fizz…
