Restaurants near Swan Hunter

Our first visit here and the experience was brilliant. The food was absolutely gorgeous. The beef cheeks were the best beef I’ve ever had.

Highly recommend Branches, everything was good! A varied menu, delicious cocktails and extensive wines. Ambience and decor is good, ask for the table under the cherry blossom! Service is fantastic, staff are friendly, efficient, attentive and knowledgeable on the food & wine. 5 star… we’ll be back. Thank you Branches team!

Lovely ambience and the staff were absolutely on it. Food and wine brilliant and all overall lovely experience

Friday afternoon and the joint was jumping in a nice friendly way. Valentines special 5 course taster was chosen so we tried something different rather than choose our fabulous favourites like Souffle , Fresh seafood or Steak. The finesse and flavours are always spot on and this set menu was no different. Fabulous seafood , brilliant beef , and a show piece baked Alaska to finish with aplomb ! As usual the staff were flat out but always friendly and engaging. All in all , it is not cheap but it is way better quality wise and in fact is very good value compared to some of the local so called competitors to be honest. Well worth a try if you have never been. We think of it as a wee monthly treat that we look forward to , savour at the time , and look forward to the next visit.

My wife and I made our first visit to The Broad Chare for lunch, upstairs in the dining room, to celebrate my birthday, and what an excellent choice we made. We decided to mark the occasion by having the T-bone steak to share - we realised that neither of us had ever had that cut before - and I can't imagine it could be better. The meat was perfectly cooked, the blue cheese salad was delicious, it was a memorable dish. The starters were excellent as well - can't say much about the desserts because all we were capable of by that stage was lemon sorbet each! When we arrived there was only one other table occupied, but it soon filled up and was a really good atmosphere. Staff were all friendly and efficient. A bit pricy, but it was a birthday lunch and definitely worth it!
