BRAW Burgers and Pizzas

BRAW Burgers and Pizzas has established itself on Clerk Street in the Newington district as a reliable independent burger and pizza kitchen catering primarily to the student trade. The name is unambiguously Scottish — braw meaning fine or excellent in Scots — and the menu follows through on that aspiration: hand-formed burger patties, stone-baked pizza bases, hand-cut chips with a good crisp exterior, and a selection of loaded sides. Reviews consistently praise the consistency of the burgers, the quality of the sweet potato fries and the friendly staff. Clerk Street runs through the heart of the Southside student quarter, linking the top of Nicolson Street with Causewayside further south, with a dense population of students from the University of Edinburgh's Pleasance, George Square and nearby residences. The shop operates its own website for online orders.
