"We’re always on a mission to find Edinburgh’s best burgers and we’ve eaten far too many in the name of research. To be fair, I was eating a lot of burgers before we set up EdinBraw, I’m not sure I can keep using it as an excuse for my addiction.

Although there’s an established menu, they’re generally happy to let you come up with your own."

"Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch (affectionately known as BBL) is an Edinburgh deli-cafe and takeaway on the Pleasance that’s open from 8am to 3pm daily, hence its name. They might not do dinner, but their breakfast options are out of this world, and they also have a very special home made vegan Lorne sausage that is made with their signature blend of herbs and spices. A vegan roll and sausage is a fantastic hangover cure, and you can combine it with a tattie scone if you want something that’s extra filling, or go the whole hog and opt for the full vegan breakfast, a bargain at just £5.50, and just sit, relax, and watch the world go by."
