The story
The Broughton describes itself as "everyone’s favourite local," and on vibrant Broughton Street in the heart of Edinburgh, it delivers exactly that. Warm, cosy, and welcoming, this gastropub is dedicated to the finest food and drink in the city’s Modern British scene. Think perfectly poured pints, fine wines, innovative cocktails, and thoughtful cooking fit for all occasions.
The food here is driven by the kitchen, with a daily-changing 4 Course Chef’s Menu available Monday to Thursday for £45 per person (bookings from 5:30pm to 8pm). The menu is built around what’s best that day, offering Modern British dishes served the way they should be. The Broughton is also famed for its Epic Sunday Roasts, named in the top 30 in the UK by The Sunday Times and described as a stylish destination for Sunday lunch in Edinburgh’s New Town.
The Broughton's consistent quality has earned it a place in the Michelin Guide 2026, with inspectors noting the "wonderful welcome" and how traditional dishes are given "an attractive modern makeover." With sage green walls and polished wood floors, the setting is both stylish and relaxed—a true local where good food and proper pours come with a guaranteed warm welcome.
