Red Squirrel is a glorious spot with incredible food, capturing everything there is to love about Edinburgh.

At the bottom of Lothian Road, you'll find this wonderful little hideaway, full of character and charm. Here, you’ll take your taste buds on a journey just minutes away from the capital's best spots like Princes Street Gardens and the bustling Grassmarket.

From the menu, try their signature burgers: the wild boar, stacked with a wild boar and apple patty, brie, and red onion chutney, or the Caesar burger with a buttermilk fried chicken breast, smoked bacon, and the classic dressing.

They also serve a fantastic steak pie cooked in Campervan Extra Black, wrapped in peppered puff pastry and served with creamy mash and veg. From the brunch section, don’t miss the steak and eggs with fried eggs, chimichurri, and hash puffs.

There’s something for everyone, and every occasion, at Red Squirrel.
