So delicious

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

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

Pros: Suitably priced, Friendly staff, Oat milk for hot drinks

Cons: Small menu, Confusing location

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

Little gem

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

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.
