Edinburgh Princes Street Jollibee restaurant has diners queuing up week after opening

Edinburgh diners have continued to go mad for the city's latest fast food restaurant, Jollibee.

The eatery created in the Philippines has caused quite the stir over the last week, after the company opened their first site in Scotland's capital.

Last week, Edinburgh Live had reported that a huge line of people had turned up on the restaurants launch day, with customers braving the snow for a goody bag and taste of their fried chicken.

However, over a week since the restaurant opened, queues could still be seen stretching all the way along the street.

Spotted at 5.30pm on Thursday (March 3), an eager line of customers ran not just out of the restaurant, but headed east along Princes Street.

The queue didn't stop there, with the line curving round Pret a Manger with locals waiting towards Charlotte Square.

Jollibee is known for its crispy fried chicken, burgers and spaghetti with an exotic twist and operates more than 1,200 restaurants around the world.

The firm’s best-sellers include: the Chickenjoy – a crispy fried chicken made with a family-secret marinade, Jolly Spaghetti, made with a Filipino inspired sweet sauce and layers of cheese and hot dog slices, and the Jollibee Chicken Burger, priced at just £3.99.

Open from 5-10pm every day of the week, it seems the fried chicken frenzy will not be ending anytime soon.
