Broughton Food

We have been complaining with Simon about unavailability of decent, simple food that one could just scoff in 15 minutes without putting on heels and suit. There are not so many places like this in Edinburgh where folk favour dimly lit designer bars where overly made up lassies hang for dear life perched on a high stool that they have managed to nail with their Jimmy Choo heel.

I have recently rediscovered Broughton Delicatessen, where you can just eat your food without fuss. Order at the bar, eat a nice dish made with fresh and local produce, pay as you leave (well, it is not exactly cheap: 8.50£ for a salad, drink and a piece of vegetarian tarte) and enjoy the rest of your day without hands trembling from hunger while you are dashing downhill to drop your negatives at a photolab in Leith!
