So delicious - Edit
The vegan Haggis was really good. Might be a small portion at first sight, but very filling.

Thank you! Yes, it can be a bit deceiving - in a good way.

Hearty good food - Edit
Located inside the writing museum, you can get some lovely heart vegan haggis! This was our first time having haggis and we loved it.

Thank you! We are inside the Scottish Storytelling Centre (not to be confused with the Writer's museum)

Little gem - Edit
For first, I didn’t even notice this place as from the outside it looks like a community house somewhere near the end of the Royal Mile. When you go in, the feeling doesn’t change, it’s like a small buffet with a small menu, only a few items. I tried their vegan haggis (and it also happens to be gluten free which is a dream coming true). It was really rich in flavours, generally a very good experience as I never ate haggis before. If every haggis tastes like this, i am in for the long run. The only negative I can come up with is that they don’t have a gluten free vegan souce, so it was a bit dry. However as I had a chat with the really nice lady working there, it turned out she already realized that it’s missing and it’s the next thing o ln their list, so hopefully this will be solved soon! Absolutely recommend the place and will come back if I am in Edinburgh again.

Thank you for your kind review. We now do have a gluten-free sauce! We use gluten-free oatmilk for a whisky & mustard sauce.

hidden on the royal mile - Edit
A great little place inside the Scottish Storytelling museum overlooking the Royal Mile. Small menu of regular or vegan haggis (both gluten free), a vegan soup and coffees. Tasty, calm and good for watching people wander by.
