The Cambridge Bar in Edinburgh, City of

Great pub, and serves a burger with egg, pineapple and beetroot so no further improvement is possible. Egg-cellent.

Place, atmosphere, service... all perfect. BTW, the man who served us was really great, brought us some IPA so we could try and decide what we really wanted. We ordered the burgers. For a place that it's not "burger specialist" I have to say, they are better than a lot of places I have already been. Not the best one, but it's worth the visit and the experience!

Not been in a few years but in terms of atmosphere and service it's not what it once was. Couldn't believe the bill I was presented - £50 for two burgers and two pints. Madness.

Good burgers and not an overkill menu meaning they do a good job of it. Warm and feels like your welcoming new town bar.

We were a table of eight, who were quite demanding and the staff handled all our requests with great patience and a smile! Thanks to the chef and front of house staff.

Pesto burger 👍 and the staff was very friendly.

Wow! If you're a burger lover, this is the place to go. If you don't fancy a burger probably best to look elsewhere - but you'll be missing out on a taste experience. Amazing range of burgers, beautifully cooked and presented. Really friendly staff also. Highly recommended.

Great pub with good food and service. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the beer selection was good.

Unfortunately the excellent burgers and buzzing atmosphere were ruined last minute by the appalling attitude of the waiter (who was great until that moment) when I asked to remove the service charge from the total. The waiter pretended that he hadn't heard me and said 'oh the service charge is already included so you can go ahead and pay' so I had to make clear that I would like him to take it off. Then he proceeded to ask if we had not received the service and what was wrong with it, to which we responded that we disagree with the principal of the fee ( Which last time I checked is not mandatory in the U.K) and we prefer to always tip in cash after settling the bill. He then explained that the service charge gets evenly distributed among the staff, which we ofcourse have no issue with. However then he said that they go to great lengths to get the best quality beef from local farms and it costs, which has absolutely nothing to do with the service! Great quality raw ingredients should be priced accordingly on the menu and this is of course something all customers pay for. His comment was so out of place when it comes to explaining the service fee and we felt patronised and as if we were being questioned which has never ever happened with any server in restaurants/ bars/ cafe. I don't believe the staff should question customers as to why they wish to remove the fee, especially when we even explained that we prefer to tip in cash. We did tip £5 in the end but too be honest, won't be going back due to this attitude and it's a shame. The burgers are to die for and we prefer supporting local businesses instead of brewery chains. Such a shame, we would tip them very well every time as we had a great time there if it wasn't for the inappropriate questioning.

So glad we found this place! Our burgers were delicious.

Wow 🤩 You don't really need to say more. A real Scottish pub. Loud, busy and extremely hot burgers, what more could you want. :) We really enjoyed it and we'll definitely be back on our next visit to Edinburgh.

Thursday night with friends, had a burger each and a few beers. Place was lively and busy...not bad for a dreary Thursday evening! Service was good and I enjoyed the food and beer. Very slightly on the expensive side, if I'm being really picky, though in fairness of course, many places are struggling with overheads. Having said that, though, the portion size was generous and it did feel like we got value for money really, so I'm happy to say I'd definitely go in again sometime.

I agree with all the other reviews, the burgers here are great. The bread is totally soft, but still had the perfect stability. The sauce on my burger was also very seasoned. In general everything was delicious. There is only one small drawback: I like to eat my burger medium fried, unfortunately this was not asked for and therefore the meat patty was a little too dry for me. But it was still tasty and definitely worth a try! The staff also gave great advice on the choice of drinks.

Our doorman suggested The Cambridge Bar for burgers. What a great place to have a pint and burger sitting next to a warm fireplace on a chilly overcast mid October afternoon. The staff were very pleasant and made us feel right at home. The only thing I would change was to be offered a choice of wellness of my beef hamburger and the onion rings should be homemade rather than the frozen variety.

Been a long time place to go for a decent burger. Reasonable beer selection. Staff plfriendly.

Function suite upstairs. Great venue for a good sized gathering. Food was the burgers as little sliders. Burgers at Cambridge are famously good. Good selection of beers upstairs too. Usually go for beers and food if in town. Would throughly recommend.

I had one of the best burgers here and the service was lovely Highly recommend if you're in Edinburgh and craving a burger!

Very loud pub, burger not particularly tasty but still digestible.

This is my go-to place when I want a delicious and juicy burger. Service is fantastic and very attentive. Will be back very soon!

Went for a wonderful dinner . Had the best burger. The staff were wonderful and very friendly. Highly recommend They are also dog friendly, they even brought water and some treats for the dog 👏😊

Venison burger and giant pickle. So good. Great fries too and many local beers on tap. Quality service and wide range of hot sauces too.

The Cambridge Bar has a fantastic burger's, it's a big choose. Service is a very polite and helpful. I recommend this place and will come back

Super table, very welcoming and very good value for money The staff even makes the effort to speak French to us

Great experience and food, especially if you’re visiting and don’t want to fall into the tourist trap areas. Excellent service as well as good value for money.

Cracking pint of Schiehallion. And the staff are on the ball. Very well run pub 👏🏻

Good bar, good service, great burgers.

This place is amazing went on a Friday afternoon with work & had a lovely burger naked on a bed of salad with a few beers. Really gd

The Aussie burger was brilliant!!!

The best burger I ate during my time in the United Kingdom. Very tasty, good price, excellent service. They treated me so well that I returned the next day. A typical pub, very hidden, zero tourist scam, real atmosphere and delicious food and drink. Don't miss it.

A most delicious burger. There is something for everyone, vegans, vegetarians, and good meats. Good fries and amazing onion rings. You get what you pay for

The best small sports bar in Edinburgh. Its a very comfortable place to watch a match. They have 12 beers on tap and a very large selection of Scotch Whiskeys.

Super cozy. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Is it a pub? Is it a bistro? I think they want to be a bistro when the festival is on and a pub when the rugby is on. No identity. No integrity.

The atmosphere is incredible, the food is great and the staff is extremely wonderful and attentive!! Wonderful experience that I recommend to everyone who wants to eat well and watch games in a wonderful atmosphere. 😀

exceptional burger. lots of combinations, also several vegetarian options. crazy good fries... fluffy and crisp. super friendly people. i was expecting the place to be packed ... but it seems to be just far enough away from the crowded city center to give an authentic pub atmospere. 10/10.. really

This is a very simple format- good beer and good burgers- burgers of all kinds. No messing around. Fast service- tasty.

Found the place on reddit, and wanted some.birgera and a good time. Ordered the cheeseburger 🍔 and was pleasantly surprised. Well balanced sauce, patty was on point and fries were good. The waiter helped me choose beer and I was pleasantly surprised too by the assortment.

Absolutely fantastic food and the service was equally as good! I really recommend this place.

If you really wanna eat something special, taste Scottish whisky or try local ales, that there is no better place than The Cambridge Bar! Burgers are delicious!

Had a great late lunch here during the week. Really appealing menu and you could easily spend hours here trying the different food and drink options. Great portions, definitely recommend the Cajun sweet potato fries. They also provide good gluten free options and do the fries in a separate fryer.

Different choices of burger, you have to add the side dish (fries for us) because it is not included in the price of the burger. Welcoming and friendly staff. Pleasant time in this Pub.

Great burgers, good atmosphere and excellent service

Great wee find. Comfy, with Fantastic service

Quaint place off the beaten path. Was looking for a good burger somewhere in the city and this place did not disappoint. Some of the best bacon I’d ever had mixed with quality beef cooked to perfection. I truly enjoyed my meal. Fries were meh but my friends got the sweet potato fries and loved them. Also has a great playlist of music going.

Best burger in Edinburgh! All around fantastic food, service, and vibes in this pub. The burger pictured is the special "Ball Park"

Hadn’t been for years having loved this place 15 years ago but out of the habit of going. Great atmosphere and lovely service. Tasty burger; will be back!

Nicest pub we found in Edinburgh. Great food, wonderful setting, friendliest service. Will be back for sure

Excellent bar with a wide variety of beers. It also shows Premier and Champions League football matches.

Great experience highly recommended Co try it

The best burger I've eaten so far in Scotland. Not greasy at all, well balanced, the Cajun chicken is very spicy and tasty. We will come back with pleasure!

Great food, lovely lighting, brilliant building, fantastic burgers and a smashing toilets

Hanno una vasta scelta di birre, ne abbiamo assaggiata qualcuna ed erano tutte molto buone. Abbiamo preso anche le patatine fritte, molto buone. Il ragazzo che ci ha servito era molto gentile.

We had a private function in the Cambridge Bar upstairs at the weekend, and cannot fault the overall experience at all. Lindsey looked after us incredibly well, and handled a room of 30 ladies buzzing off the bubbles like a professional! Great location. Food was served promptly. We had our own toilets for the private room which was very handy. Thanks for a great day team!

Nice place but my friend ordered a Laphroaig which seemed to be just a Jack Daniels

Went in for lunch today with my 4 month old daughter and the staff couldn't have been more helpful or kind. Opening doors, making room for the buggy - even turned down the music! Thanks guys.

Went with the team on a night out, burgers are amazing! Would I recommend it? YES! Close to the city centre, however away from busy streets.

First visit to not sure why never been before, beer was very good and service was excellent had very nice burger will be back

We stopped in for a bite after a hellish few days of travel delays. The server was wonderful. Did not make us feel rushed at all. They even got us dessert 😭 after their kitchen closed. It was exactly what we needed after a bad day.

Amazing brownie milkshake and great burger.

Super burgers, slick service, extremely comfortable whilst still retaining a nice posh pub feel. Close enough to busy Edinburgh but thankfully far enough!!

Enjoyed my visit! An extensive burger menu. Food was good. Service was excellent. Would have liked more variety on the menu but will definitely return.

Best burger I ate on Edinburgh! Several options and you can exchange the buns for salad

Cracking place to eat. Burgers are the main thing and they are good. Plenty of beers and ales to have. Busy place and good for sports on the tv’s.

Fantastic pub/bar in the heart of Edinburgh serving one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Very reasonably priced and highly recommended.

Dog-friendly and good choice of quality beers.

Pricey but pleasant city centre bar off the usual tourist drag. Big TVs for sport and comfy seats.

Great location to get away from the hustle and bustle the main shopping streets. Their burgers certainly lived upto their reputation. I had the bacon guac that had a good quality beef patty nearly topped with guacamole and smoky bacon. The bun was good and held upto the task. Fries were tasty. On the pricier side for a burger considering fried aren't included but worth the price. Good range of rotating local beers and a decent wine list. Front of house staff were very friendly and efficient.

Enjoyed a delicious meal at the Cambridge Bar. We were in town for the night, and had dinner for two. Great variety on the menu to build your own burger (including the protein - vegetarian options!). Very big burger and we shared a portion of chips which for the perfect amount! Rugby game was on so there was a great atmosphere, and staff were kind and helpful. Cheers!

Cold Guinness was warm and expensive beer pipes could do with a good clean There famous burger 🍔 £15.95 greasey and half cooked never again

Great service and the food is excellent! Beer selection is good too!

A decent bar. Happily, out of the way so it's accessible, but when we went it lacked a little charm. Definitely not a huge flaw, just some thing that could bring it up to 5 stars.

Superb service and the Luau was to die for. We ordered a beef burger+fries and a chicken salad and both were very happy with our respective meals.

Great place for burgers. I always have the bean burger but the option of so many different toppings is really good. Decent selection of ales to wash them down, good service as well. Highly recommended.

Good burger, good beers, good service. All good.

Good evening burger and sweet potato chips.

Excellents burgers. Service sympathique. Prix corrects

Nice pub tucked away in the city centre. Plenty of space and gets busy when there's a sports match. Excellent burgers and decent beer selection on tap. Sides are separate and are decent too.

Fantastic pub-style burgers, nice selection of drinks, and friendly staff! Onion rings were excellent

Really great burgers, fantastic service. We came with a huge group (12), they did an awesome job taking care of us

Some of the best burgers you'll find in Edinburgh. Comes with an impressive array of hot sauces.

Nice New Town bar. A good selection of real beers, though I did not really enjoy the one I chose. That's life though when you always like to try new (to you) beers. Won't stop me going back.

Great burgers - again! Again!. We'll never not enjoy coming here

Non è il caratteristico pub che ci aspettavamo. Cibo nella media, il pane dell hamburger non è buono, inoltre lhamburger non prevede le patatine. Prezzi nella medi, con 10% di maggiorazione flat per il servizio al tavolo. 2 hamburger 2 pinte e 1 patatine 65 euro ci sono costati.

Ein echtes schottisches Lokal mit einer großen Auswahl von Biersorten und zum Essen gibt es auch was. Nicht vergessen, dass ist natürlich ein subjektives Urteil.

We went for an early lunch so it was very quiet when we arrived. There is so much choice in terms of burgers. I had the chicken pesto and my partner had the haggis burger. They were both delicious with generous portions. We were also served very quickly and the restaurant was clean and tidy. We would definitely go back again for a yummy burger.

We arranged a family meal here the day after our wedding and the staff could not have been more accommodating of all of us - even bringing us cutlery and plates so we could eat leftover wedding cake!

Amazing at what they do, Burgers. But you almost always have to book 2023 - organised a meal and drinks for 35 people in their upstairs rooms. Great service, food was very quick and great value

Really can't fault The Cambridge, and other people must agree because it appears to be popular throughout the week! It's a bar I would feel very comfortable as a woman going into by myself for a drink, to read the paper, or to eat. Food is high standard and fresh. Mostly burgers with a wide array of choice. Would confidently recommend. Unfortunately not easily accessible due to steps at the entrance and age of the building, and being in a listed area of the city but this is true of many places. City centre so do not come by car - parking meters v expensive and limited spaces. Public transport is good however, and it means you can definitely indulge in a couple or more beers!

The food is delicious (we ordered burgers, chips, and nachos) and the vibes are ok. The only thing is that we waited for our food for 55 minutes which was a lot for the basic orders we ordered.

Wonderful place. Great choices of drinks and burgers. Helpful staff. The burger was amazing.

Prebooked a table to watch live sport. Very accommodating. Great service. Great atmosphere. Great beer and excellent burgers.

Tasty burger with crisp fries paired with good service.

Lovely diner on a not so busy Wednesday evening. Thanks!

Absolutely amazing place. I don't Believe but their burger was religious, the best I've had in a really long time. Make sure to try the sweet potato fries! The atmosphere was nice and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend!

Another great evening with excellent burgers.

The best burgers I have tried. First came here 20 years ago and today the still have the best burger

Friendly, attentive staff in a beautiful environment. A great place to visit

Endroit sympa et calme. Bon accueil et très bons plats

Could not have asked for a better experience here. We threw a party in their room on the second floor. The venue was perfect, and the food was amazing. Thanks, Vicky, for helping us get everything planned!

This place has a great atmosphere and staff. The food was good, although pricey, but worth it. Definitely try the triple cheese cheesecake. Local draft beer was tasty. My only complaint was that the coffee wasn’t great, but it’s a bar so not expecting great coffee.
