Edinburgh is home to some of the very best burgers in Britain. That's according to a recently published 'burger bucket list', which identifies the top 40 burger joints in the UK.
The list, compiled by stagweb.co.uk, features restaurants in every corner of the country, but just a handful of Scottish burger bars made the top 40 guide, with three in the capital.
Bread Meats Bread, Burgers and Beer Grill House and the Boozy Cow all get a mention and those behind the bucket list have identified a burger being served up at each of them you should be ordering next time you visit.

Here's what they had to say about each of the Edinburgh food spots:
Boozy Cow
"Edinburgh’s burger scene is highly competitive, but Boozy Cow stands out from the crowd thanks to their (1) super creative cocktails, (2) brilliant burgers, and (3) their great name. This underground bar is a must-visit if you’re in the vibrant Scottish capital."
The Capaldi – "Two 6oz beef burgers topped with a white sugar sprinkled ring doughnut, maple syrup, melting house cheese sauce, Buckfast fried onions, and crispy bacon.
"The hilarious Scottish musician now has a Boozy Cow burger named after him to add to his list of accolades. And there’s no messing about with this one. Replacing the brioche bun with a sugared doughnut was a brave move, but one that has definitely paid off."
Burgers & Beer Grill House
"The home of Scotland’s Best Burger (apparently). Whilst we’ll let you be the judge of that, we’re here to tell you that this immense grill house is definitely one of the best burger joints in the UK. FACT. Homemade sauces, award-winning produce, cracking beers. It. Has. Everything."
Frying Scotsman – "Patty, haggis fritter, onion rings, mature Scottish cheddar cheese with a side of creamy pepper sauce, served on a freshly bakes brioche bun.
"Yes, you can enjoy a proper taste of Scotland with this haggis-infused stack. We’re celebrating the standout creations in our 2022 Bucket List and this one most definitely caught our attention. Be sure to wash it down with one of their delicious Scottish beers."
Bread Meats Bread
"Make sure you’re feeling extra hungry when you arrive at Bread Meats Bread. They’re far from stingy on portion sizes, and the food is so damned good that you won’t waste any. This family-owned restaurant prides itself on providing a frill and fuss-free experience, and that’s what you get."
Wolf Burger – "Bacon cheeseburger loaded with pulled pork in smoky BBQ sauce, crispy fried onions, and gochujang mayonnaise.
"If there’s one thing you should know about this place, it’s that you’ll need to set some time aside to get through their mighty menu selection! We managed to whittle it down to this fine contender, but we can’t lie, it took us a while. You can’t really go wrong with any of them."
