I've been here a couple of times now and still love going back. The food is great, the service is always on point and the house beer is cheap and delicious. I have started to work my way through the menu going from different burgers to their awesome buffalo chicken poutine and even their grilled cheese sandwiches. Everything has been from good to great for me. Flavours are all there and boy am I always stuffed afterwards. I think it's a good place to take someone who is visiting and in need of a tasty burger and a beer. Go forth and eat! read more

Bread Meats Bread - Halloumi with grilled peppers and mushrooms, plus a small poutine! SO. DAMN. GOOD. - Burgers Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Their vanilla milkshake was hugeee and so lovely. I had a angry chicken burger - happy with the spicy stuffs that they put inside but their buffalo fries were alright for me only. If their fries could be more crispy it would be perfect! Also the place could be super busy at the lunch, you could expect a queue there some times! read more

The best Luther burger I have ever had. Must-order. Lothian Wolf is another awesome choice if you like juicy meaty pulled pork burger with delicious bread. The service is decent and efficient and I walked out pretty satisfied. I will like to arrange another visit with friends soon! read more

Wonderful place with great food and service. Menu has something for everyone. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich, vegan chicken burger, fried chicken sandwich and the burger with a donut bun. I was skeptical but the waiter said it was voted the best burger in Scotland. It was amazing! Go try it! read more

The poutine was even better than what i ate in Canada. The burger was also full of taste. Nice and fresh combinations. Next time I'm in town i will be back for sure. read more

Absolutely horrible service. Waited 45 minutes for our food to find out they "lost the order" and closed the kitchen, with no apology, and incredibly rude service overall. This is the second time something like this has happened, and I won't be back again. Don't waste your time or your money and go elsewhere. read more

Fantastic. Got the brisket grilled cheese and Irish milkshake and they were insanely good. Highly recommend.

I had the Cali burger! It was so close to in and out animal style it made my day! My dad has the philly cheesestake which was also amazing! Definitely worth the trip down, small wait to get in but totally worth it!! It was very affordable for what you got as well, you could share a portion of chips and it would be more than enough. read more

My prayers have been answered! There is finally POUTINE in Edinburgh!!! As a Canadian living in this fine city, there are days when I miss Canada's national dish: chips, cheese curds and gravy. But now I can walk over to Bread Meats Bread whenever my poutine-missing heart desires! I first came across Bread Meats Bread via a Google search for poutine in Edinburgh. No results - so I tried Glasgow. This is its second location. Right on lothian road beside the Filmhouse. You can actually smell the scent of beef on lothian road (and I don't think there's anything wrong with that!). I visited on opening day in the evening and it was busy. The staff were very friendly and welcomed me as soon as I arrived. My partner and I opted for a cheeseburger each and decided to share the poutine. OK - the burgers here are so damn good. I'm going as far as to say the best in Edinburgh (and hey they are well known to be the best in Glasgow!). The server asked how I'd like my burger: med or well done. Medium, obs. A major plus for BMB is that they serve their burgers and food on plates! Real plates! (I'm so fed up of being served food on a chopping board). The burger was quite big, juicy and had lots of flavour. The bun is also really tasty - soft enough to hold the burger but not too soft that it falls apart. The poutine is amazing and the cheese curds are real and authentic! They def passed the squeak test! My only gripe with the poutine is that they should use hand cut chips with the skin on them. But that's a personal preference! Anyway I'm so happy that Bread Meats Bread is finally in Edinburgh. If you are ever really hungover, then I recommend the poutine as your saving grace! read more

I think the word to describe this place is underwhelming. I was keen to visit after hearing people talk about it, so decided to pop in today for lunch. I arrived at 12:15 and it was queued out the door, actually out the door. As I only wanted a table for 2, I got a seat pretty quickly skipping the large groups and waited for my friend to join me. The space is pretty small, so I felt like I was dining with the people at the tables on either side of me, and was very conscious of not looking like I was eavesdropping! My friend arrived and we both ordered a regular burger, nothing fancy. And our food arrived pretty quickly despite how busy the place was. The burgers were fine, nothing to write home about, I've had better and I've had worse. On our table was a flyer promoting their doughnuts, so after our burgers we decided to order one each. Our waitress went through the flavours and I ordered lemon. What arrived was lemon and cinnamon, a slightly unlikely combination. I'm sad to say the doughnuts didn't look much like the picture on the flyer, and were pretty overcooked, greasy and a bit crispy on the outside. I don't think I'll be back, there are plenty of other burger places in Edinburgh that I've enjoyed more. read more

I simply love love love this place! I am normally not a huge fan of burgers and will only eat one once in a while; but this place makes burger way more interesting!! My first time there, I got the burger with the bun being a donut(cant recall the name). I absolutely loved it however if you order it, make it a double as a single is quite small; my friends got the falafel burger and it was just huge and looked delicious , definitely something i need to try; i also got the scotalian which is made with mascarpone cheese and in a nice brioche bun; i loved the bun as it is much lighter than normal bun and will not make you feel crazy full when you leave ; for the sides, you have to try their sweet potatoes fries; they are amaziiing and as mentionned by others, one portion is more than enough for too :) the service is very nice and i am looking forward to my next visit read more

We had heard from our Irish family how good it was. It didn't disappoint. Great size sandwiches. Good service as well. It's popular so you'll need to plan to wait a bit before a table opens up. read more

As a girl from Manchester, that's been spoilt by the "burger boom" of the past few years, with many new burger joints constantly popping up, I am now abit of a picky burger consumer. I usually find burgers to not quite hit the mark. Too dry, not pink enough, the wrong bun selection, too expensive, rubbish sides, etc etc. This place is so close to perfection it hurts. I opted for the sunshine on beef,and was really very impressed! It came with lashings of pulled beef ( that I'm usually disappointed by if it's dry). This was moist, flavoursome and all round delicious! The meat itself was pink (maybe not as pink as I'd like it- nut close enough) and the bun was soft and soaked all of the fabulous juices up perfectly. My boyfriend had been before, so knew that the sides were huge,and so we shared the sweet potato fries that were also delicious. The only reason I can't give the full five stars is because it is the top end I'd like to pay for burgers, especially when the sides are not included. The service was fine, but not fantastic, and when I asked for medium rare, apparently they don't go lower than medium. But if that's the only negatives I have to say on the matter, then I'll certainly be back! Marie meats almost perfection.. read more

Disappointing meal. The meat on the burger tasted like rubbery institutional meat you'd get in a cafeteria. Overcooked as well, which seems to be a thing in Scotland. Couldn't even finish it. The grilled cheese was barely grilled. I don't think they understand the concept of grilled cheese. Sweet potato fries were good but don't get them with any of the glimey toppings. read more

Yes, you will wait. Yes, you will pay more than you probably need to. However, the experience is generally worth it. With so many places offering good burgers in Edinburgh, this place sets itself apart through its unique menu offerings. My wife ordered the single Luther, which is essentially a cheeseburger with a glazed donut as the bun. I have to say that it tasted fantastic, although the logistics of it sometimes required a knife and fork (something I firmly stand against). I had the Lothian Wolf, which was piled high with pulled pork and a runny barbecue sauce. It too tasted great, but the overkill did get to me after a while. As a general rule, I tend to avoid burgers with additional meat that isn't bacon. It reminded me why. We had a side of onion rings and buffalo fries. They were fine, but we struggled to fit them in. Be cautious ordering sides with the burgers so large. All in all, it was a good experience and we'll probably go again. However, choose your timing carefully if you aren't a fan of waiting. We were lucky to get a seat right away, but there's often a queue out the door during peak times. read more

Was apprehensive about all the great excellent reviews but this place does deliver. Milkshakes are unreal too. read more

Bread Meats Bread - 2x2... So good - Burgers Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Very good luther burger. The chicken poutine we ordered was pretty good too and the portion size was pretty amazing of that. Recommended.

Amazing vegan/veggie food! My boyfriend and I ate so much we practically had to roll ourselves back home. As a Montrealer, the poutine wasn't authentic but still quite good, but the burgers and milkshakes were incredible. Quick service and very friendly. read more

The burger is great with great meat and bun. Too bad the meat is not chargrilled and pickles are too strong. Great place with good value in overpriced Edinburgh read more

I've been here last week with a couple of friends and we ordered a classic burger with some beer. I think it was the best burger in my entire life. delicious, crunchy and simply tasty. The stuff really takes about everything and the service was amazing. The waiters were very polite and on the whole, this place left me positive impressions. Thank you guys! read more

This is one of the best places I've found to eat in Edinburgh, especially for vegetarian/vegan food. I didn't love the vegetarian chicken (it's made of seitan) but the rest of the burger was so good I can assume the regular chicken is amazing. We also got the vegan version of the bacon fries. The vegetarian bacon was SO good. Smelled and tasted like real bacon, which I have not found ANYWHERE. I'm so excited I can't even put it in words. They also topped it with sriracha veganaise, which was delicious. The service was the best I've had in Edinburgh as well, and I love the atmosphere and overall vibe. BIG fan of this place, and I'll 100% be back. read more

Best burgers in Edinburgh. Lothian burger is great went for the Luther burger but got the Lothian that the server recommended. You can't go wrong at this burger place. Also had the feta fries they are good but overly hot sauced. Second visit had the burger with the fried egg in top and it was good too. Opted for the regular fries and they were good too. read more

Great atmosphere. Food was hearty. Loved the sweet potato carmelized fries! I had their house hamburger, and it rocked! Feta and cucumber salad was excellent! read more

Amazing burgers, I had the brisket burger and it was one of the best briskets I have ever had. Highly recommended if you're not one for the local cuisine. For those complaining about the service, this is typical service in Europe, they don't wait on you hand and foot like they do in the states and you have to ask for whatever you need (including the bill). read more

This place is just amazing. We were sat down instantly, the waiter came to take our order literally as soon as we were ready and the food was freshly made minutes after. The Pastrami sandwich was so good that I nearly cried with tears of joy. The Bacon Chips were awesome and the sauce on them took me to the next level. I nearly had 'a crisis'. The staff looked genuinely happy to be there and the atmosphere was chilled out. I will be back and I will eat more bacon. read more

Do you like a good burger? Really who doesn't? One of the best places in Edinburgh to stop off to get a good burger fix. Can get very busy though, so be prepared for a wait. read more

having visited the first Bread Meats Bread in Glasgow i was pretty excited that another branch was being opened in edinburgh! i mean like really excited because the burgers are just simply amazing. after a bit of shopping at the running shop next door, the boyfriend suggested we get some late afternoon burger goodness so in we went. the place is small but smartly done. i like that you just turn up and if there's a table available they seat you, if not they advise you of a wait time and you wait. it's a simple system and if you're a die hard for being able to book a table and get it exactly when you want then this may be a bit annoying but it's nice that they don't take bookings and just stick to serving really good food without any frills. the menu is quite similar to the glasgow branch with a few specific burgers to edinburgh. i was drawn in by the lamb burger and the boyfriend the wolf of lothian (i think that's what it's called...) and we shared the buffalo fries with hot sauce on the side. burgers were amazing as usual and my lamb one was super tasty and loaded with tons of feta cheese! i love that they give you a really good portion of toppings so you can taste it with the burger. the buffalo fries were really good although i'd always welcome more blue cheese mayo because i mean blue cheese mayo... best part of the meal was that my total cost was a tenner. yep, ten pounds for a shared portion of chips and a burger. the chips are massive so one between two is more than enough. this place just does things right and i know i'll be back many more times. read more

A pretty standard burger bar. Granted I had a chicken burger, maybe the beef is more exciting!

Great place. The service was great, the chicken bacon cheese sandwich was great and the rasputine fries were great. I cannot think of anything close to negative about this place. I would return and recommend. read more

First time trying BMB after lots of hype suggesting it was the burger place to be. I'm willing to accept it may have just been for my visit, and it's not necessarily the same always, but my visit was very disappointing. On our table there was a soggy bun on a burger, probably due to the greasy onions, a soggy grilled cheese, Sprite that tasted like it had 'gone off', nearly cold fries, and irritating paper underlays on plates. If you are providing cutlery and greasy food, paper that tears under the burger from a knife is not welcome. I found some plastic in my food and I'm not sure whether it was a cooking fault or from the waxy paper. I think perhaps it shows promise but it's by no means the best burger joint in town. read more

Decent milkshake, service that deserved tipping, a large number of options on the menu (though obviously few for veggies) and it's on a site where it should prosper. No complaints about our various burgers - I just didn't find anything to set it apart from the competition. Will though happily revisit to see if that's obvious next time. One thing though - £2.20 doughnuts; 3 for £6 is not bettered by 5 for £10. read more

OMG so many choices, even for non meat eaters. Happening scene. Busy but servers had no trouble managing the crush. I really liked the vegetarian Rueben. read more

I know people rave about this place so I'm sure my review will not be well received. I'm sorry, I didn't have the burgers for which they are so famously amazing. We went for lunch yesterday. Cheerful atmosphere. Very busy. We had to wait for a wee bit which was awkward as there were so many people waiting we were blocking the door. They just don't have a lot of space of there are a few people waiting (maybe 8). But things moved quickly so we didn't mind. The servers were pretty friendly and we had maybe 4 different servers. So I'm not sure whether they are allocated tables or duties. Leaving a tip...not sure who it goes to! Firstly my boyfriend had the beef brisket which looked very yummy. He later told me it was dry, which is quite unfortunate. He's not overly picky and isn't one to complain so this says quite a bit. For myself, a native Canadian I obviously ordered the poutine. My first one in 3 years, a dish that I adore and rave about it to people who have never had it. I was disappointed. The only redeeming factor was the cheese curds. Real cheese curds. That was ace. Other than that I had a a plate of gravy and soggy chips. Too much gravy! It was drowning in gravy. That wouldn't be appetising to anyone. So if someone whose never had poutine before tries it from Bread meats Bread I think they too would probably rate it average and not have it again. It also seems to have been baked, as the chips were baked to the bottom of the dish and my first bite was lukewarm. Underneath was hot so perhaps it had been sitting under the warmer for a while? Hence the super soggy chips?! Either way..:it's an easy dish to throw together it's unnecessary for it to be baked or put under a warmer. The construction of a poutine is simple, chips, pile of cheese curds and hot gravy over top. Not so much that it's drowning in gravy. But enough HOT gravy to melt the cheese curds and puddle amongst the chips. Some chips at the very bottom would eventually get a bit soggy but overall you should have plenty of crispy chips mopping up the gravy. Ah I'm ranting now. I couldn't finish it and mentioned to the waitress clearing out plates that the poutine had too much gravy and she just said she'd tell the chef. Whatever that means. We also had some onion rings which I cannot rate. They were not to my liking. The coleslaw was nice if not a bit too creamy for my liking. And the medium glass of wine I ordered was very nice but over priced (£5!). All in all I've given the place 3 stars as most people love this place on their experiences of fantastic burgers. I would have given it 2 stars on my experience alone. I'm not sure I would go back. Sorry lovers of Bread meats Bread....but lovers of poutine will be disappointed. read more

Delicious. My wife and I visited Edinburgh a few months ago and this was by far our favorite meal. The service was a bit slow, but friendly. And the food was excellent. read more

I am a big fan of the Glasgow original so was delighted when Bread Meats Bread opened on Lothian Road. No bookings accepted, relaxed vibe, booths available. Menu? Sloppy burgers - from a basic cheeseburger through to some monsters (e.g., Lothian Wolf, pulled pork burger). Grilled Sandwiches and grilled cheese also available. Yet to try the Poutine. Fries, various sides, and, oddly, soup. nice selection of beer - not massively craft but reasonable enough. Attentive, friendly service. read more

The one in Glasgow is one of my favourite restaurants there so I was extremely excited when this one joined Lothian Road's worryingly regular rotation of eateries. The food itself is just as great as its west coast sister. As is the case over there any booze is at a premium price. The service was pretty decent but not amazing, the restaurant was quiet for lothian road and the wait times weren't bad. Would probably lunch there again. read more

Had the animal poutine dish, 2 burgers with special sauce and poutine. Friend had a double cheeseburger. For the minimal price difference I would say the poutine is significantly better value. All very very tasty, filling and made freshly to order. We only waited 5 minutes for a table but the queue was huge by the time we left. Very satisfied and would go again. Only trouble is my farts were stinking the next day, a beautiful reminder of a great meal read more

Nice atmosphere, good staff, and most importantly great burgers! Enjoyed my meal here and would go back. My one criticism is that my wine was served in a tumbler and not a wine glass. Large groups will struggle to get seated, as the space is designed more for parties of 2 - 4. read more
