Set upstairs from the Edinburgh LGBT Centre and owned by the same team behind the Regent pub, Café Nom de Plume is a gay and lesbian-friendly business and a relaxed hangout for all walks of Broughton life. The décor is a warm and welcoming jumble of shabby chic design and North African flourishes, while the menu is a whistle-stop tour of the world that only just manages to avoid over-extending itself. In the nibbles category, the German bockwurst is a slightly bland arrangement of pre-packed sausage, red cabbage sauerkraut and rye bread, but the French onion soup is rich in wine flavour and the saltiness of the crouton. Mains include hearty liver and onions with colcannon mash, substantial lamb kofta meatballs and a decent vegetarian selection including ‘mushroom nom’ – a puff pastry mushroom and tarragon sauce pie.
- High point: The menu is expansive and largely well-delivered
- Low point: License doesn’t permit children
