A well-rated Edinburgh hotel with mid-range pricing, handy for a family stay or relaxed meal in the city.

Hamburger · Edinburgh
A burger stop near Waverley that works surprisingly well with children in tow — buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, and food that lands fast, which matters when someone's patience has run out. The staff are notably welcoming: they ask about allergies before you have to raise it, talk you through the menu, and have been known to stash luggage for families passing through. Gluten-free and vegan options are genuinely good rather than an afterthought, and the milkshakes and non-alcoholic mojitos buy you ten more minutes at the table. Order the classic cheese smashburger, the buffalo chicken poutine, or the BBQ brisket toastie, which one visitor describes as "massive". It's a busy, buzzy room in a central spot, so expect noise at peak times and a wait for a table on weekends.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
