Revolution (Old Town)

• All I was really aware of was the fact that they did trays of interestingly flavoured vodka shots
• I was therefore pleasantly surprised to find that the restaurant menu was full of things that I was quite keen to eat
• As well as hot dogs but all of these items have been refined with the addition of more interesting condiments and garnishes
• The Bockwurst was exactly as I had hoped
• Juicy and wrapped in chewy dough which had been drizzled with ketchup and American mustard
• The burger was nicely caramelized on the outside but still moist and flavoursome
• The brioche bun was soft and the chorizo ketchup brought a nice level of spice to the mix
• The steak sandwich was also a hit
• Packed with nicely cooked strips of rump steak and complemented with the addition of the Dijon mustard and onions
• Was the House Ketchup which was brought to accompany our chips (sweet potato for me and classic for the Traditionalist)
• Crisp on the outside but fluffy within and not too thick cut but they were really brought to life by the House Ketchup whose secret ingredient we were unfortunately unable to guess
• Particularly paired with the slightly sharp blueberry sauce
• I would strongly recommend it as a place to go with a group of friends of an evening for some tasty cocktails and well executed bar food with a twist
• 4 cocktails in the week make it an appealing place for an after work cocktail with friends or colleagues
• Is chicken in buttermilk with the sweet potato chips
• Redeeming features is the sweet potato fries possibly one of the best places in Edinburgh that can make them
• Revolution Edinburgh is one of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh
• I had the classic steak sandwich* and it was absolutely amazing
• If you're a student then you probably know someone with a clubs and societies card that can get you some great discounts too
• The burger bun was double the size and the burger pretty dry
