The Magnum

The food and drink

The kitchen cooks a seasonal menu using fresh, local produce, so dishes change through the year. The bar side pours wines by the glass and bottle, including sparkling and rosé, alongside beers, spirits and cocktails. Its mix of distinct bar and restaurant spaces lets you drop in for a drink or settle in for a full meal. Wine runs from whites and reds to rosé and sparkling, so there is plenty of choice if you want to linger over a bottle.

When to go

It is open every day, with the kitchen serving from noon into the evening, which makes it useful for a late lunch after exploring the New Town or an early dinner before the theatre. Children are welcome in the restaurant, so it can suit families as well as couples.

Booking and nearby

Reservations can be made online or by phone, and booking is wise for weekend evenings. Albany Street is a short walk from St Andrew Square and the top of Broughton Street, with other well-known dining rooms such as Dishoom and The Dome within a few hundred metres, so it fits easily into an evening in the east New Town. Book ahead for groups, and mention any dietary needs when you reserve.
