92 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, EH3 9BE

The upper part of Lothian Road is rapidly morphing
into Edinburgh’s burger quarter. A number of
prestigious burger restaurants have set up store
here including Bread Meats Bread. This growing
burger brand doesn’t have the largest of premises
on Lothian Road but it’s made every square metre
of it count. Diners can kick back and get comfy
while they watch the hubbub of Edinburgh flashing
by outside. You’d hope that Bread Meats Bread
would do a mean burger and those hopes would
be met and indeed exceeded, whether tucking into
their Classic Burger, Pastrami Burger or Lothian
Wolf, made with American cheese, crispy bacon
and pulled pork in BBQ sauce. There’s more to
Bread Meats Bread than burgers though: you’ve
also got a range of sandwiches to choose from
plus veggie and vegan options. The milkshakes
are also outrageously good. For purveyors of good
burgers, Bread Meats Bread has got it made.
ZARA’S
176 Rose Street, EH2 4BA
0131 2252333
Purveyors of Turkish cuisine can be picky when
it comes to choosing where to dine. There are
a lot of Turkish restaurants in a city the size of
Edinburgh, but only a handful of them warrant
repeat visits and earn glowing reviews. Zara is
a Mediterranean bistro that serves up classic
mezzes and mains. The fish, chicken and beef
dishes are cooked freshly to order and deftly
seasoned to bring out all their natural flavour.
Turkish cuisine is meant to be simple, and Zara
certainly accords to that formula, serving up dishes
that are uncomplicated, allowing the quality of the
ingredients to shine through. Peruse a mouth-
watering selection of mains and then request side
dishes such as humus, cacik, sucuk, tavuk sis and
biber dolma. A good hot meze is a sociable dining
experience that’s best enjoyed leisurely and over
numerous courses. At Zara Mediterranean Bistro
you can take as long as you like.
