The Ox

Tucked just off vibrant Broughton Street in Edinburgh’s New Town, The Ox is the kind of neighbourhood spot that locals cherish and visitors are pleased to discover. It sets the tone with a relaxed, welcoming air, the sort of place where unhurried catch-ups and impromptu celebrations both feel right at home.

In the kitchen, the team keeps things flavour-first, cooking with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The result is comforting, confident plates that let the produce take centre stage, delivering the kind of satisfying cooking that lingers long after the last bite.

Behind the bar, an extensive choice of beer, wine and spirits invites exploration, from easy sippers to something a touch more adventurous. Paired with its easygoing buzz and hospitable feel, The Ox makes a fitting backdrop for everything from midweek unwinds to weekend treats.

Book a table, raise a glass, and settle in for an evening that hits the spot — an ox of an excuse to go out, if ever there was one.
