From the moment we made our restaurant reservations online, The Broughton in Edinburgh promised an unforgettable dining experience—and it certainly delivered. The charming atmosphere coupled with mouth-watering dishes made for an exceptional evening out. The stylish yet cozy setting immediately welcomes you, creating the perfect ambience for a night with family or friends. The decor strikes a fine balance between modern elegance and traditional comfort, setting the tone for a memorable meal. Service was attentive without being intrusive. The staff clearly know their menu well and were more than happy to offer recommendations, ensuring a smooth dining experience from start to finish. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the food. I opted for the Slow-cooked Beef Feather Blade accompanied by roast garlic mash and roasted courgette. The beef was a marvel—cooked to perfection, it melted in the mouth, and the accompanying jus added just the right amount of zest. The mash was nothing short of amazing. Creamy and rich, it stands as some of the best mashed potato I've ever had. This dish wasn't just a meal; it was a comforting reminder of family favorites, yet elevated to a whole new level. We split two desserts, and they were equally stunning. The Vanilla Pannacotta with Scottish strawberry and doughnut was a delightful dance of textures and flavors. The Scottish Raspberry Mille-Feuille with peach sorbet was equally divine, providing the perfect sweet end to a fantastic meal. The Broughton lives up to the hype, delivering an extraordinary dining experience that combines the homeliness of traditional food with the elegance of fine dining. Do yourself a favor and book a table here. You won't be disappointed.
