Thistle Street appears to be a quiet and narrow Victorian era in the heart of New Town. The Good Living on this cool, relaxed wave to set up a busy bistro touch. The benches and armchairs welcome guests who enjoy simple but serious and innovative cuisine. The service is smiling and the wine list includes several great wines. At the end of the day, the evenings are busy.

Delicious food and great service. The Cullen skink, truffle fries and the risotto were great. And the beer was on point too.

Visited this evening. A most excellent experience. Food was delicious; perfect portion size and cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly too.
Haggis bon bons were yummy. Steak was medium rare and juicy. Caramelised carrots are not to be missed.

First trip to Edinburgh and to The Bon Vivant which was on our to-do list after watching a review on YouTube. Didn't disappoint, like a little corner of Paris in the UK. Atmosphere was wonderful, staff were informed, attentive but not intrusive and the food and drinks were sublime. Loved Edinburgh, can't wait to return and have a second helping of this lovely restaurant. Perfect.

Le Bon Vivant failed to live up to expectations. The instrumental jazz soundtrack was overpowering for a Sunday lunch setting as the restaurant was lively and buzzy anyway. Our Sunday roast mains took an hour to come out from the kitchen which given the restricted menu and standardised sides was way too slow. The cod was very nice but the pork belly was dry as if it had been overcooked.
Our servers for food and drink were very helpfull and attentive but possibly let down by elements outwith their control.
I would give it another go to see if our experience was a one off because its a cool little place and I'm sure can do better.
