Where is the best burger in town?

Had to cone to this when I seen best burger, went to five guys with the kids for the first time last week, was not far off £70 for two adults and two kids, burger was alright and nothing special, absolute rip off and won't be back in a rush
My partner went to Gordon Ramsay’s place in the St James Centre yesterday. She said that at £18 it felt quite steep but that it was top notch, was actually worth every penny, and she’s desperate to go back again with me.
Chicken burger has to be bucks bar. Absolutely superb.
Boozy cow does a great burger.
Mates say Fat Hippo is great but I haven’t been yet.

Bread meats bread my favourite
Butta burger and pipers rest do a great burger too
Not been for quite a while, but Holyrood 9A used to have really good burgers.
I had a burger in Ipanema a few years ago and it has never been equalled.
I was asked how I would like it cooked, I said medium rare, and it was the tastiest thing and I don't really like burgers.
I used to like Man On Fire in Portobello but it's hardly open now and wasn't great at all last time I ordered from them.
I like the burgers from the snack van at Musselburgh harbour
Bells Diner in Stockbridge was always good, but haven't been in a few years

Had luxford burgers few months back and they were excellent
This is going to sound mental, I'm burger fiend, you can find lots of good ones all over town, bread meats bread a prime example, the greatest chicken burger I've had in Edinburgh was surprisingly in the cafe in Tesco at Hermiston Gait, so much so I made a couple of pals go too so they could acknowledge my views, we all agreed it's dynamite
Cambridge Bar do tremendous burgers.
Glad someone else mentioned a place outside Edinburgh. I once met 2 American guys on a plane who invited me to a restaurant they'd opened in Berlin. They claimed that the meat they used for their burgers was so fresh that they were happy to prepare the burgers rare. I love a good steak that a decent veterinarian could bring back to life but have either only eaten mincemeat completely raw or fully cooked, so I couldn't wait to take them up on their offer. I wasn't disappointed, it was by far the best burger I've ever tased. Crispy brown on the outside and juicy on the inside.Quote:

Tbe food standard agency doesn’t allow rare burgers to be served in Scotland, pretty happy with that to be honest.Quote:

I can see the problem if the meat is bought and stored before cooking but can't see a problem if fresh beef is ground directly before cooking ala steak tartare. The Germans also do it with minced pork (Hackepeter) served on a bread roll with salt, pepper and onions, it's delicious and thus far hasn't killed me.Quote:

I saw that on a menu in Berlin a few years back and was nervous about trying it. A couple of German guys I had met assured me it was absolutely fine if prepared correctly and we're confident the place we where in would do so.Quote:

My old man gets wild boar and venison burgers from some place near Linlithgow, Castle Game, absolutely brilliant.

I didn't know that. That explains it.Quote:

Earls in Stockbridge (and I believe about to open in Morningside) is good as well.
Not in town, but I recently had a Wagyu beef burger (with a slab of haggis) at Buenos Aires in Musselburgh - really tasty and felt decent value at around £15
I wasn't aware of that and would swear I've received one before but maybe I was on holiday at the time.Quote:

To be honest, despite liking my steak rare, I'm happy with that.
Bread meats bread for my burger choice - although I've not been for a while since they took tatter tots off the menu. The Sunshine on Beef burger gets my vote, the burger does justice to the name.
Preferably somewhere that doesn’t insist on serving it in an overly sweet brioche ****ing bun!
Or a bun that just disintegrates in your hands and your left holding a burger and its mushy contentsQuote:
