The Menu
Carnivorous cravings will be satisfied with an ever-changing selection of quality steaks prepared for you by expert chefs on-site. All Bar + Block’s steaks, from rump to ribeye, fillet to sirloin, are selected from British and Irish Angus breeds renowned for their taste, tenderness and the unique marbling that runs throughout each cut. Every steak is matured for at least 30 days and hand cut to size, matching your appetite.
There’s a host of speciality signature steaks, in addition to the classic cuts, including the 10oz Spiral Cut Fillet, created by spiral cutting the steak and marinating it in garlic and parsley for 24 hours; the Surf + Turf, an 8oz sirloin with garlic jumbo king prawns; or if you’re really struggling to choose, the Steak Sampler – three 4oz steaks, sirloin, fillet and rump. Whatever steak tantalises your tastebuds, each comes with a choice of sauce, including a creamy whisky, mushroom and peppercorn sauce, and house salad or beef dripping triple-cooked chunky chips. December will also see a Butcher’s Block special of Chateaubriand, slow-grilled until tender and available to share between two until January 2022.
As well as steaks, Bar + Block is big on burgers with every patty hand-ground, freshly prepared on-site and cooked to order. The must-try is the signature Mighty Block Burger – an 8oz beef burger with melted mature Cheddar cheese sauce, crispy onions, pulled beef brisket, pickled cucumber spear and burger sauce, served in a brioche bun with French fries.
Also on the menu is a range of grills, salads, sensational sides and sharing grazing plates, including the Talisker Whisky glazed BBQ wings, brand new and exclusive to the Edinburgh restaurant.
For vegetarians and flexitarians, plant-based options include Cauliflower Wings in a crunchy parsley-seasoned batter and the Vegan Sloppy Joe Burger – a plant-based Garden Gourmet patty topped with cheezy vegan slice and soya vegan sloppy joe mix.
Finish off on a sweet note with decadent desserts like the new signature Shortbread sundae especially developed for Edinburgh – Scottish shortbread layered with vanilla ice cream, freshly whipped cream, muddled berries, and fresh strawberries. There’s also a Sticky Toffee Pudding, Chocolate + hazelnut bomb and vegan Chocolate torte to indulge in.
Sunday Lunch
The Sunday Best roast is great for lazy lunches where you can choose from sliced rump, or half a chicken served with Yorkies and all the trimmings.
Hurried + Hungry
Grabbing a quick bite to eat? Enjoy a delicious main from Bar + Block’s weekday Express Menu, served from just £8, from 11.30am to 5.00pm. Dishes include a Steak + Frites, a Buttermilk Chicken or Beef Burger, as well as a selection of gourmet sandwiches including Chargrilled Steak, Fish Finger, and an Open Club on stone-baked flatbread.
Bubbles + Brews
When it comes to drinks, Bar + Block’s bartenders will be on hand to serve up a selection of craft beers and ciders, alongside a carefully curated wine list and creative signature cocktails. New additions include the Edin-Bru-sty nail cocktail – an inventive mix of Drambuie, Whisky and Irn Bru.
Bar + Backdrop
Modern design details create a contemporary and stylish space, with interiors featuring an expansive bar with copper detailing, butcher’s table, and an open kitchen. The space is complemented by rustic reclaimed wood, high-quality fabrics, comfy booth seating and warm lighting.
