Bread Meats Bread — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Came tonight on Monday 16th December. 4 front of house members of staff on. Was seated promptly.

Thats the positives.

Negatives. Waited ages for same waitress to come back and ask if we wanted refreshments. (why not ask as we were seated what can I get you to drink?)

Ambiance. Background music of back to back Christmas music.

Decor Dated. Surrounded by cases of brioche buns in the restaurant. (there were other tables available. We were taken to these)

Burgers I got the marky mark. £16.40 Claimed to be with pulled pork. Pulled brisket accompied with crispy fried onions. (i love crf) There was no pulled pork. There was no crispy fried onions. The brisket was full of sinue and inedible. Pickles were three very thinly sliced crinkle pickles out of a jar.

I was excited to have Gochujang mayo. It works so well with puoled pork. Unfortunately my burger was bereft of it. Gochujang mayo was non existent. I had to ask another server for extra as ours neglected to do a table check on out cuisine.

God bless his demeanour as asking as a paying customer where the mayo was on my burger i was told it was £1.50 for extra. My burger had a pathetic amount of it on!!!!!!

I proclaimed i am not paying for extra considering so little was on my bun.

Burger patties. Were tasty enough. All be it overcooked for a thin patty. Cheese very limited but a slice is a slice. Times are hard for business to operated and this place is the epitome of barely operating.

£16.40 is only for the burger. you must pay extra if you want carbs.

£3.50 extra for thin crusted chips. Ranged from this to £7 for bacon fries.

£7 for a pint of italian beer.

Overall Experience was that of nothing but Christmas music blaring in the background. Surrounded by baskets of brioche buns. By staff empliyed who had lost the will to live.

No wonder this place is on its arse. Over £50 for two burgers and pints.

Brioche buns are cheap My Gochujang mayo was like nothing I've ever experienced before It was watered down mayo, chilli powder and smoked paprika. (you could tast it)

Bread meats bread when it first opened took over Edinburgh by storm. Its out lasted byron. Only due to its affiliation with online deliver service.

To summerise BMB for me has lost its appeal. Lost its way and clinging on to its reputation in the online community only. an online delivery take away with a poorly run restaurant service attached to it. Purely basing this on looking at how many online drivers came in to to collect. Amazingly being seated next to the kitchen entrance surrounded by over 100 brioche buns.

We won't ever be back. I doubt this place will be here next...

My sister and I were recently talking about the best food we ate on our 2 week trip to Scotland in 2022. Truly a country full of amazing restaurants Makars, the riverbothy, fuaran bar, the oyster shed, Vittoria on the bridge, to name some of them. After discussing the best my sister says "well I think we'll both agree on what the worst restaurant was" without a doubt bread meat bread was the worst.

We decided to make reservations based upon the fact this restaurant has a 4.5 for reviews. Upon arriving we were taken to our table and given menus. We waited 5-10 minutes before a waiter came to the table for our drink/appetizer order. About 15 minutes went by and another waiter brought the poutine appetizer. We asked that waiter if he could get our drink order as well since the first waiter must have forgotten. He ended up grabbing our water and mixed drinks. The poutine was cold and bland. Our sandwiches came out 5-6 minutes by waiter #3. They were luke warm and below average flavor wise. We finished eating and the check was dropped off by waiter #1. We planned to pay with a debit card. We waited and waited and waited and the waiter was no where to be found. We asked another waiter (#2) if he could find our waiter so we could pay. Just as I thought things couldnt get worse the power went out. Our waiter shows up 10 minutes later and says they can't take cards since there's no power. We didn't have cash with us. The waiter said "there's an ATM a few blocks away" I've never dinned and dashed before but was seriously considering it. But my sister talked me out of it. I walked to the ATM (which still had power) returned to the restaurant paid the bill and left no tip. This was overall my worst dinning experience probably in my lifetime. Food was cold, over priced and bland. Service was dreadful. The only good thing was they forgot to charge for the...

YOU HAVE TO ASK TO REMOVE GRATUITY/TIP

Having heard good things about bread meats bread I was disappointed with the experience. Giving it was early Saturday evening we were seated quickly and the food didn't take too long to come, the staff were friendly enough but that's where the positives end. We paid sit down restaurant prices for chip shop quality... the burgers were dissapointing and lacking any sort of seasoning or any real flavour, the poutine was made with frozen pre cut fries you can get from any takeaway in the city and again seasoned poorly. For the price we paid I was expecting to have at least a 5/10 food experience and I'd struggle to give it a 3/10. The music blaring so loud you can't hear across a small table and the borderline dangerously slippy floor brings the score down also. The way in which I was socially engineered into leaving a tip without any option on the payment portal to remove it was shady and left such a bad taste in my mouth that I'd actually go out of my way to disparage people from even entertaining...
