Teuchters Landing

A popular bar on Leith’s picturesque Shore, Teuchters Landing has a decadent jumbo venison hot dog on its impressive gastropub style menu. One of a kind on Edinburgh’s hot dog scene, this lone dog is raved about by patrons, and undoubtedly worth the trip east of the city centre.

For perhaps the most generously sized hot dog in Edinburgh, The Boozy Cow is the place to be for ravenous meat-eaters. While the variety isn’t huge here, the portions certainly are.
