After their success in Glasgow, Burger Meats Bun has decided to try their luck in Edinburgh and open up a new restaurant just off Broughton Street. On arrival, the impression is of an upmarket diner, providing a nice relaxed atmosphere. As the name implies, the simple menu is entirely dominated by burgers and the common sides that would accompany this type of meal. There are two to three options for beef and chicken burgers and the ubiquitous veggie mushroom burger. They also had a specials board with a interesting sounding pork belly burger with beetroot and pickled cabbage. This can all be washed down with a decent selection of drinks, including a rotating west coast beer on draught and a cocktail special!
On leaving, the opinion of the table was divided into two camps. The first camp thought the quality of the burgers and chips was great, going back to the office in a very cheery mood. The second camp felt that £15 was quite expensive for what was essentially a burger, chips and a pint of beer. Burger Meats Bun can offer you one of the best burgers on town, however you have to be careful to not allow the sides and drinks to creep up the bill.
The burgers did not arrive on a plate however came wrapped up in paper, like a fast food joint. Once unwrapped, one was presented with a very sizeable looking gourmet burger. The ingredients were good quality all wrapped up in a very tasty brioche bun. The sides were also all well executed, no surprises that the chips were the popular option! I would also recommend upgrading the chips to the cheese or thai chilli cheese as the extra pound looked definitely worth it! However, having the sides as an extra does increase the cost!

- Good quality burger - a bit expensive
- Fiery Burger had a lovely sauce and a great bun. Fries were lovely. Great selection of quality bottled ales/lagers. I like the Diner style ambiance, simple yet classy.
- Best burger so far! The draught beer was great and service was quick and friendly. Maybe a bit expensive for a Friday lunch but overall very very good.
- I had the pork belly burger. V. nice and great chips too. Hard to fault the place and looking forward to going back.
- One of the tastiest burgers I've had - pork belly in a bun. This, together with a pint, chips and a few chicken wings has left me completely stuffed, but content.
- pork belly bun was great, very tasty chips with cheese and bacon.
- Tasty burger and nice place, would of liked a plate instead of a bit of paper. The Cambridge still delivers the better burger....
