It’s all happening in Edinburgh this month. Ben Dantzic and James Forrest, owners of Burger Meats Bun in Glasgow, have brought the concept to Edinburgh, with a new venue opening on Forth Street. Another burger restaurant, Just Burgers and Beer, has also opened on the Royal Mile while Carina and Victor Contini have also chose the Royal Mile for their new Cafe called, not surprisingly Contini Caffe. They are also offering something a bit different… a porridge bar! It will open nearer the end of the month at the same time as Enzo, a new Italian style bar restaurant. It’s at the Quartermile development.
Meanwhile CBRE Hotels EMEA has been appointed to sell the Doubletree by Hilton Edinburgh City Centre Hotel (formerly trading as The Point, Edinburgh) on behalf of a private seller. The hotel has only recently undergone a renovation, and features 138 bedrooms and suites, the Bread Street Brasserie restaurant and the Monboddo Bar. It also boasts three meeting rooms including a penthouse suite meeting area, a popular venue for weddings and corporate functions. The sale will also include the freehold title to the Chanter pub on the ground floor and basement.
