Wine. Cheese. Company.
The seeds for Smith & Gertrude were sown during our time living in Melbourne nearly a decade ago. But the environment we want to create & the experience we want to deliver has been shaped & developed just as much by our time spent living, working & travelling in New York, San Francisco & Italy as it has by our Antipodean adventure.
We’re an independent cheese & wine bar established in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge district in 2015, born out of a passion for great wine, great cheese & enjoying both of these with friends & family. We like to keep things simple. We use only the highest quality produce available, source locally wherever possible & serve everything as unadulterated as we can. Luckily for us, we’re part of a brilliant food & drink community here in Edinburgh so we’ve always got plenty of amazing produce to showcase from the likes of Company Bakery, East Coast Cured & George Mewes Cheese.
In the Summer of ‘22 we made the leap & opened our second site in the beautiful Portobello, right on the High Street & less than a 5 minute walk from the beach.
We’ve got an amazing team who are genuinely passionate about what they do (& what they drink) & we’d love to have you join us at either of the bars so you can see for yourself just how exceptional the simple things can be.
With thanks to Sandy Butler for the video.
