Popular burger restaurant Fat Hippo has announced plans to open a new venue in Edinburgh's city centre next month.
The independent group, who specialise in their signature beef and buttermilk chicken burgers, already have a pop-up located within Lane7 at St James Quarter.
However, their flagship Edinburgh store is set to open on July 7 on George Street, surrounded by some of the capital's most popular food and drink venues.

Fat Hippo say their new store will offer something for everyone, with their signature patty's, hand-cut chips, a wide range of vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and halal chicken options also available.
Founded in 2010, Fat Hippo has numerous restaurants in England and Wales as well as well as one in Glasgow's city centre.
The group’s signature tangy namesake sauce is also a firm fan favourite and can be found on their signature burger the ‘Fat Hippo’ (a double beef burger topped with American cheese, smoked bacon, chorizo, onion rings and Fat Hippo sauce) alongside more classics.
Booking for the new restaurant are now live, with the group working closely with Deliveroo to accommodate customers in the comfort of their own home, providing a delivery service as well as dine-in.
Michael Phillips, the company’s Managing Director, who founded Fat Hippo in 2010 said: “Location is key to the success of new restaurants, research and great planning from our team allows us to continue to expand across the UK, ensuring we maintain our top quality food and high standards of service."
“There’s been so much buzz around our expansion, with messages flooding our social media team from followers asking when we will be opening in their cities, it’s always just a matter of finding the right location!”
