    A friendly and warm small pub with excellent food and an entertaining quiz on a Wednesday night. Well worth booking a table if you plan to go in as it was pretty busy on the Wednesday we went.

    We enjoyed our meal at The Empress of Broughton Street. We chose this restaurant as we were easily able to get a reservation for 5 people on OpenTable. When we arrived, they seemed confused by our reservation, until I mentioned OpenTable and then they sat us immediately. The menu is simple with just Flatbreads, Burgers and a few Main dishes. We got 3 different flatbreads - Chorizo, goat cheese and caramelized onions, the Meatball and the Avocado, feta and sundried tomato - all of these were delicious. Our group also had the fish and chips and ribs - both of these were great as well. Service was quite friendly despite some of our high maintenance requests. Would definitely recommend!
