Shrove Tuesday falls on February 25 this year and foodies will be expecting pancakes galore.
Fortunately Edinburgh's eateries won't disappoint on Pancake Day as there are a variety of great deals and special offers.
Eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday is a tradition which stems from the last day of "fat eating" or "gorging" before the Lent fast.
So let's gorge away - we've rounded up some of the best offers on syrup-smothered stacks of pancakes below.
