Edinburgh:
Top 10 Burger Joints
Sometimes there is nothing better than digging your teeth into a big beefy, cheesy burger that someone else made for you.
The problem in the big cities is that you can get a burger everywhere you turn. So here are the top 10 burger joints for those of you in Edinburgh to guide you in the right direction.
10. Rascals
Rascals is a pub-come-diner, which means 2 things: good booze and good grub. They are best known for their burgers, from the plain and simple at a fiver, to the every topping possible at aroundabout £15.
They are good for whatever burger kind of mood you are in. You can order the simple beef burger off the Feed Me For a Fiver or go for one of the more adventurous Mexian Mouth Melters.
So go on, give them a try!

9. The Scran & Scallie
The Scran & Scallie is a gastro pub, who have an extensive menu. Burgers are one of their many specialities.
Don't be fooled into thinking it's just one of many Edinburgh gastro pubs though it's run by Michelin star chefs, Tom Kitchin and Dominic Jack!
Sitting at £13 for their Scran & Scallie burger and chips, it's one of the more posh on this listing.

8. Burger Meats Bun
The two chefs that run Burger Meats Bun used to work in a Michelin starred restaurant, so naturally, the food is focussed on quality instead of your normal cheese covered burger that is dripping with grease.
Add these burgers to a couple of beers or cocktails (yes, they serve cocktails ladies!) and you are set for a great meal.
