How it compares on Broughton Street and nearby
The Olive Branch is the low-friction choice in this group: easier to plan than Fhior and less defined by a specific cuisine angle than The Broughton. Choose it when the goal is a relaxed Edinburgh meal that does not need to anchor the whole day.
Fhior is the splurge comparison, with a Creative ££££ positioning that makes it better suited to diners who want a more ambitious meal. The Broughton is the safer peer for Modern British at ££, especially when the group wants a clearer food identity and a pub-neighbourhood feel.
L'Escargot Bleu, Vinette, Broughton Delicatessen are better cross-shops when the brief shifts toward French, wine-led, or daytime deli-style eating. The Olive Branch sits in the practical middle: useful for ease, less compelling if the table wants a sharper point of view.
