This place had *everything* we didn’t know we needed: cute, pettable dogs, ice-cold beer, and burgers DONE. RIGHT. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and portioned to satisfy (though we were left craving just one more bite for the taste). We were happy to have stumbled upon this gem during our visit to Edinburgh. The atmosphere was relaxed yet buzzing, the staff were friendly, and the whole experience felt like a warm hug wrapped in brioche with butter :) If you're in town, do yourself a favour and drop by. You’ll leave full, happy, and probably with a few new furry friends.

Hands down the best vibe/staff/drinks and food in portobello. Rudy is an absolute legend always making everyone welcome. Burgers are delicious, amazing back garden space with sunshine and shade. Great local taps and just a great community vibe. Can’t rate this place enough. I have kids and happy to take them here as super family friendly.
