Best Burgers In Edinburgh

They say a balanced diet is having a burger in both hands, and we think there's something in that. Nothing beats a good patty and bun, with melted cheese, crispy bacon and all the other goodies that come with it. From signature stacks with 'nduja through to melt-in-the-mouth wagyu wonders, here are the best burgers in Edinburgh.

The Haymarket

Your classic, old school boozer isn't quite complete without a hefty burger on the menu, is it? Thankfully Haymarket is rustling up the goods, serving up chicken burgers, beef burgers, plus a cauliflower and kale burger, all accompanied by skin-on fries.

Hawksmoor Edinburgh

While known primarily as a steak restaurant, Hawksmoor is a purveyor of high-quality beef – and you know what else is made of that?That's right, some of the best burgers Edinburgh has to offer. This meat palace serves up grass-fed, dry-aged patties accompanied by triple-cooked chips.

The Alchemist Edinburgh St James Quarter

Enjoy a celebratory bottle of Moët & Chandon Champagne on arrival for £70!

On the hunt for burgers in Edinburgh Old Town? Perhaps in its city centre site? While you know The Alchemist better for its molecular mixology and quirky cocktails, this joint also rustles up some mean munch. What's on the menu? Korean-fried chicken, BBQ-doused patties and a next level vegan burger.

The Pear Tree

A favourite among the locals, The Pear Tree on West Nicholson Street is a haven of pub classics, dishing out chargrilled cheeseburgers and buns filled with Cajun chicken. Tuck into your feast in their massive beer garden with a pint in hand.

The Theatre Royal Bar

Whether you're popping in for a pre-dinner bite or just have burgers on the brain, The Theatre Royal Bar are ready to provide. If you need something to wash it down, the Edinburgh stalwart also boasts a delicious selection of local ales and tasty wines.
