One Edinburgh eatery is hoping for a second helping of success at the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards. Foodie favourite, Luxford Burgers, has made the shortlist in the Best Burger and American category, with the award set to go to the food joint that griddles their patties to perfection.
Independent burger chain, Luxford Burgers, has gained a firm foodie following since opening in 2020. Taking inspiration from the silver screen, artwork from cult classic films adorn the interiors, the menu boasts a range of burgers named after must-watch movies, and complimentary popcorn is served while diners wait for the chefs to cook up a hit. And these blockbuster burgers have already turned the heads of culinary critics. Last year, Luxford Burgers took home the awards for Independent Restaurant of the Year and Scotland Burger Restaurant of the Year at the 2024 Deliveroo Restaurant Awards. And now they’re back for another bite.
Will Shu, chief executive and founder at Deliveroo, said; “The Deliveroo Restaurant Awards is about championing the local restaurants who provide incredible selection and quality food in their communities. These restaurants are the beating heart of our towns and cities, and they obsess over making sure every food delivery is a special moment for our customers - that’s something worth celebrating.”
Reacting to the news that Luxford Burgers had made the shortlist once again, executive director Alexander Galpin said; “Our team work incredibly hard to source quality, fresh ingredients and create original flavour combinations that really stand out, so we’re glad we’ve caught the attention of the judges. We had a taste of success last year and now we’re coming back for more!”
Whether they emerge as culinary champions this year is all down to the public. Burger buffs have got until Friday 9th May to cast their vote via the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards website, with the winners set to be announced on Wednesday 28th May.
