Our dinner at The Broughton was exceptional! Both the presentation and quality of each dish were excellent. From the fish and chips to the salt-baked celeriac, my family and I would recommend each dish we tried. We visited in the late evening so the atmosphere was quiet and cozy. Would definitely return in the future!

Located at the lower end of Broughton Street, The Broughton offers a welcoming mix of a pub and dining experience. As you enter, there’s a bar area to the left, leading into a cozy restaurant space with low lighting, green banquette seating, mustard-colored chairs, and exposed stone walls enhanced by subtle uplighting. The menu is refined and selective, featuring around ten starters, five mains, four sides, and four desserts. The cocktails were excellent. I tried the 25, a house special with cognac and Demerara, served elegantly in a long champagne flute—an outstanding choice. The Negroni was also well-executed. For the main course, the venison haunch was cooked to perfection, complemented by a rich sauce. The layered potato cube was a nice touch, and the Brussels sprouts with bacon were prepared in a unique, creamy style that worked well. Service was attentive, with a 10% service charge included in the bill. The overall ambiance was intimate and atmospheric, making it a great spot for a romantic meal or a relaxed evening with excellent food. A very positive experience.

What a bloody great place for a Sunday roast. We stopped for dinner and enjoyed ourselves so much that we came back a couple of days later for lunch. The floor staff handled our seafood eating 5 year old with ease and kept us all laughing. The Broughton's kitchen crew are incredibly skilled and show great respect for local produce, not over seasoning and letting the quality of the meat or veg shine through.

We found this place almost by mistake, but it was a very fortunate mistake. The staff is absolutely amazing, always helpful and attentive. We had the homemade focaccia and the crisps as we had to wait 40 minutes for the pork chops , the focaccia was delicious and the pork was worth all the waiting, it comes with mashed potatoes and salad. We were very full, but could not say no to the dessert and I am so happy I had it. Absolutely great, highly recommended.

Very good lunch at this pleasant dining pub. In the kitchen, someone who clearly has skills, managing to confer some elegance to fundamentally reassuring and comforting dishes. Mains of cod and venison were very well cooked, starters of crab crumpets and Cheddar croquettes were delicious, while the desserts had ups and downs, but I would like to mention the madeleines which were definitely an up. The room is a mixture of pub atmosphere and cool elegance. Service was top from all three people with whom we interacted. Prices are reasonable.

After reading the reviews I was looking forward to Sunday lunch at the Broughton. I have to admit that the food was very good; however, I do have a couple of minor complaints. I booked Sunday lunch at 2 pm and the reservation confirmed that the table was confirmed for 2-4 pm. Therefore, I was quite surprised when my friend and I were told at 3.20 pm that the table was required for another booking in 30 minutes. We asked that they could come back and remind us 5 minutes before they needed the table. At 3.25 a waiter came back and said we needed to move to the bar because the table was needed. When ordering the food I asked if that the sprouts that came with my roast chicken could be replaced with another vegetable, the answer was no - not possible? Really… is your portion control so exact that you cannot replace sprouts with green beans. To add insult to injury I asked for a Yorkshire pudding (not included with roast chicken) and they charged me £1.50 for it 🤣. What costs more sprouts or a Yorkshire pudding!!!

Visited The Broughton on Sunday and tried their Sunday roast along with the focaccia to start which were both enjoyable. The roast was enjoyable, with the carrots and Yorkshire pudding being the standout elements on the plate. I also ordered the cauliflower cheese, though I found it had more roux than actual cheese which was a bit disappointing but overall a decent roast. A special mention to Dean for his exceptional service, and kudos to the rest of the staff for being so welcoming and pleasant.

Keeping this as simple as i can, the bar/restaurant is winter warmly and the food was simply stunning. I had cheddar croquets and my wife crab crumpets, both delicious.

At the time we got there we have been told the table was only available for 1:30hrs which would have been fine although it took 1:15hrs for our mains to be served, the excuse was that the sunday roast ingredients were prepared in advance and the other plates needed to be prepared from scratch, information which was not informed to us upon arrival. We were four people and only one of us had the sunday roast which was served cold and the beef was hard, no steak knifes provided. Giving all the time it took for our food to arrive and we had a train to catch, I asked for the bill and the waiter kept walking around in circles, I had to ask three times for the bill and twice to bring the card machine to pay, as the food arrived extremely late we have asked for take away boxes otherwise we would miss our train and we have been giving such rubbish boxes that were coming apart and unfolding before we left the restaurant. Absolutely do not recommend this place, unpleasant meal with waiters asking every 10min if we want to order more drinks and no sign of the food. I must say once more that the food took 1:15hrs to come and the sunday roast was cold because, as the waiter said, the ingredients for it were prepared in advance, if the other options take longer why not tell the customers or remove it from the Sunday menu? Probably the sunday roast was done for a long time awaiting for the others plates to be cooked. We came to this place thinking that it would be a fine experience on a Sunday lunch and was an absolute disappointment.

We literally just got engaged and hopped into the first location we found labelled as "pub" on maps after dropping off the rental car. When we cheerfully had a call with my mom (trust me, there was no yelling or crying, we spoke at normal tone, plus we sat in a corner next to the door on high chairs, bar area like), we were asked to be quiet. Behind us was a couple with a barking dog, and they were told nothing (they were super nice though, and we didn't mind). Needless to say, we left immediately after our celebratory drink. This place is a total mood ruiner and definitely would never go back nor recommend. Other places where we celebrated were super happy for us, gave multiple drinks for free or discounts. Maybe The Broughton can also learn how to be a bit more friendly and not push away customers? Especially when they are in a special moment and planning to spend and celebrate.

No hemos estado en The Broughton durante alrededor de un año a pesar de vivir a 5 minutos del restaurante. Cuando pasamos anoche vimos que tenían un menú nuevo y se veía tan acogedor por dentro, así que decidimos pasar por algo de comida y estoy muy contenta de haberlo hecho. El servicio era amable y no se apresuró, lo que fue un cambio agradable, ya que sentimos que en el Reino Unido estás dentro y fuera y realmente no tienes tiempo para relajarte y disfrutar de tus comidas y tiempo juntos en restaurantes. La comida era absolutamente fantástica. El fletán en particular fue uno de los mejores platos de pescado que he probado en todo el año. Todo estaba lleno de sabor y muy bien presentado. Tres platos cada uno y un whisky doble y un rosa y una coca-cola llegaron a £ 112 que nos pareció muy razonable teniendo en cuenta lo mucho que disfrutamos de la comida.

Leaving this review as the pub emailed me asking for one. Roast beef was good. More gravy needed. Croquettes also good. Fish and chips average — fish overcooked; about half the size I'd expect. Focaccia was poor, not really focaccia. Doughy, compact and heavy. No herbs or salt. Also served with butter rather than oil. I asked for olive oil and was surprised when your poor member of staff said there wasn't any. Must be the only kitchen in the UK without olive oil in it? It was laughable. Amazing. Only one vegetarian option on the mains menu.

It's the genteel twin of the Barony, over the road. Smaller portions, beautifully presented from a compact menu. The staff are present and attentive. It's a restaurant that looks like a pub, while the Barony is a pub that's just serving chunky, popular meals a slice up market from Wetherspoons. The Broughton is calmer, quieter, and the chips are better.

A+++. Being from San Francisco, where creative culinary nights out at fine dining is an essential element of our culture, The Broughton rings every bell and then some. The atmosphere is replete with lovely touches, gleaming copper beer taps and design flourishes everywhere, but never pretentious. The service was fantastic as only the Scots do, which is to say--always at the table without ever feeling like they're hovering nearby, delighting in the savory offerings and options, serving a FINE stout, recommending great whiskeys, and the food --well look at the collage and pictures everyone has shared. All of it dispels the long dead myth that UK food is bland...this is delicious fare, fantastically plated, with awesome sauces and great taste combos. Highly highly recommended.

We wanted to eat well this evening. So we found this place and it had great reviews. And a Michelin nod too! We were quite early for dinner but they were gracious and seated us. E shared the aisle of Wight Tomato. It was a big heirloom tomato with balsamic marinated baby red onions, on a bed of cheddar cheese. Not bad. The huge tomato was plump, meaty, and juicy. I’m not sure about the cheddar accompaniment. I would have preferred a stracchiatella. But maybe the chef wanted to showcase local cheese. For our mains, we had the boarder lamb with a properly roasted eggplant, crisp potato, and some yogurt on the side infused with some mint. The lamb was juicy and done perfectly. There was a belly portion that was amazingly tender and flavorful. The pork loin was also tender and had marinated apricots to accompany it. There were strips of lacinato kale to contrast with the sweet vinegary sauce. We ordered some Italian Montepulciano to go with our mains. It made for a satisfying meal altogether. Unfortunately, we were too full to have dessert. Another time!

Service was stellar, the food quality was amazing and the flavor profiles on the dishes were perfectly balanced. On each occasion we enjoyed starters, main dishes, and desserts and walked away full but ready to go back again.

for our last night in edinburgh, our party was looking for a good old pub meal. unfortunately, we had not anticipated that england were playing serbia at 7:30pm when we had made a booking at the queens head, and so that turned out to be a non-starter as our table was directly under the speaker which, when we arrived, was blasting out the standard pre-game commentary. unable to hear ourselves or the waiter, and having little interest in the game, we abandoned our booking and wandered the streets around st andrew square. sadly, we arrived at the abbotsford only to find that their kitchen was closed that day. thinking that we were going to be eating sandwiches from tesco for dinner, my wife googled around a bit, and found that the broughton had a table, and could fit us in before the kitchen closed at 8:30pm. experiencing the broughton was an excellent and unexpected find on our last night in edinburgh. the food was exceptional, and our wait staff were young and still very polite and so very hospitable. i could bang on about the food, but the menu is updated regularly, and is seasonal, so just trust that the kitchen is solid, the service is sound, and while the olive trees may not be real, everything else about the broughton is. it might not have your run of the mill pub meal, but we it was so good that the three of us did not care. six thumbs up!!

We are locals and we went on a Thursday, early evening for a casual, midweek supper. What a lovely place and what a warm and friendly welcome from Josh, who clearly loves his job and values his customers. Irene was our waitress and she was extremely helpful, considerate and efficient throughout. We hope we will be lucky enough to have her to serve our table next time we go. The customer experience and level of service was excellent. Irene checked on us regularly and Josh took the time to come over to us at the end of our meal, to ask how we had found everything and to note any feedback. We felt he was genuinely invested in making sure we had a lovely evening. It makes all the difference when you are made to feel like a welcome, valued guest. We had the leek croquettes and shared the sirloin for two, which came with two portions of chips and a Caesar Salad. I had the forced rhubarb dessert and my husband had the lemon madeleines with ice-cream. It was all perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The house Prosecco was a particularly lovely one. This place has it just right. We look forward to visiting again very soon.

First visit in Feb 2024 for lunch. Really good and tasty food. Came back a couple of times after for drinks - nice bar. Service is always very friendly. Tartare was great (Feb 2024)

Viande au top (mais quantité modérée), cadre chouette. Le vin Chilien que nous avons choisi nous allait bien. Pour la viande, le Sirloin pour 2 est vraiment top. C'est un budget mais pas devevant. Bon accueil.

Excellent from start to finish. Top 3 of my restaurants ever. Crispy golden focaccia, salted butter, neither too hard nor too soft. Fillet of hake, white butter sauce, perfectly cooked and dressed crunchy broccoli. Vanilla ice cream and Madeleine from another world. Warm, soft, slightly golden madeleines with orange. Quality gastro restaurant with 1 or 2 stars in Paris.

Very nice place, love the decor. Enjoyed the food. Staff was great. I had made reservations before leaving the states and they kept in touch with me. I thought that was a nice touch, making sure I was getting what I wanted. Thanks again!

Great food, very good steak frites and featherblade of beef. It has a stylish interior as a modern pub/fine dining fusion. The service was perfect on my second visit. Would have been nice to see a more interesting non-alcoholic drinks menu to compliment the food. Overall tasted great and fairly good value for money given the quality.

We went for a family meal to celebrate my mum's 80th. Everything was perfect from being initially greeted as you entered right the way throughout the night. Food was very good, service was friendly, prompt and attentive, prices were reasonable for what you got, really can't fault the place, will be going back,

Great food and ambience as the restaurant and “pub” section are combined - only downside was painfully slow service.

We tried numerous restaurants in the few days we were in Edinburgh, this one was definitely our favorite. The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious. High quality ingredients, meat cooked to perfection and everything perfectly seasoned. Would highly recommend this eatery for a casual night out with delicious food.

Probably one of the best gastropub experiences we have ever had in Scotland. Friendly staff and absolutely delicious plates, would definitely come back. We had the steelhead trout and tortellini which were amazing.

Visited last night and everything was fantastic. A family party of 14 members ranging from 18 to 84. We didn’t have a reservation and the restaurant was busy but they accommodated us without question. The restaurant manager was particularly helpful and attentive. The food was excellent and everyone in the party spoke highly of it. The duck, beef, steak, fish and roasted celeriac were all well received and heartily enjoyed. Can’t recommend The Broughton highly enough and the prices, when considered the quality of the food and service, are exceptional good value. Love this place and will visit now each time I’m back in Edinburgh

Absolutely wonderful. Visiting from Canada this was the best meal we had in Scotland. Everything was so fresh and cooked to perfection!

In this pub, dogs are welcome, not children! Attention to those who would like to dine in this establishment with their children! Contrary to what is indicated on their website (with reference to the Michelin guide), The Broughton is not a restaurant, it is a pub and only a pub where children are prohibited after 8:00 p.m. since this establishment does not have license! LGBTQ+ friendly, Dog friendly but not Child friendly! If you have children, move on!

The place is quite inviting, spacious, and nicely decorated. The service was friendly and attentive. Had a very nice glass of rioja and crab balls as a starter. They were crispy from outside and soft and creamy in the inside. The sauce was nice. But the taste itself was underwhelming. Then came the beef. The ox cheeck was extremely salty. The mash potatoes and the 🥕 were redundant. One thing I really enjoyed was the broccoli.

Don't let the pub-like exterior fool you, this is a fine restaurant, serving accomplished dishes. I was surprised by the small portion sizes, though. There's no indication, or advice to order a side. With that said, the food is exceptional. There just needs to a significant amount more of it, or some expectation setting from the outset.

Great service and good atmosphere. The food were all delicious. It lacked a bit of an extra something, but very good comforting food.

Love this place, excellent selection of whisky and knowledge staff. The Scottish tapas is a real hit. Don't bother with the whisky experience, go to a proper distillery instead.

It has been nearly two weeks since I ate here and I still dream of that breakfast every day. I had a full breakfast, and every aspect of it was absolutely fantastic. Tattie scone was the best I had (and I had many!). The Haggis and beans were really nicely done and elevated above the usual breakfast fare. The porridge with rhubarb was unlike any I have ever had. The space was also a wonderfully decorated. Cannot recommend highly enough.

A bit late for a review however myself and my family where here in Feb during a visit for the six nations. It was my highlight of the trip (maybe not the highlight Ireland did win). The steak was superb. Excellently cooked. I’m going back to Edinburgh next February and can’t wait to come back to this restaurant
