Easy to book online
On arrival and during the visit, the staff was great and couldn't do more for you asked.
The venue is small, so it got a canteen experience to it. Small tables, etc. So i didn't feel too comfortable being rammed, so close to the next table.
The food was quickly served. The wil
Wow. A truly impressive eating experience. Service is superb, quick, attentive, unobtrusive but friendly. The food is even better. All of the dishes (inevitably) revolve around mash (which I love) and a range of meat and vegetarian offerings. We tried the haggis (perfect), lamb (sublime) and the boa
Can’t believe this place is fully booked and has a line outside at 3 pm. Overall the food is nice but it isn’t as impressive as expected from the reviews.
Mash tastes good indeed, especially the cheddar one. The beef shoulder and lamb shank are thought tender, though the lamb can probably have more
Came here with my partner as we are in Scotland for her birthday. She suggested we go somewhere to get some real haggis. Found this place by doing a bit of investigating so we had to try it. Absolutely would recommend and will definitely be back next time we come up! I had the wild boar sausage with
Top place! I was impressed by the reviews and we went there around 17:30 without reservation, but they were so nice and we were seated almost immediately. The place was full and very cosy. Good quality of meat and all types of mashes. We’ve tried an egg and pork deep fried appetizer, then slow cooke
Eight of us catered to with ease. Great combo of meat and mash that catered for all tastes. Veggie options too. Little bit of luxury sprinkled on your comfort food. It was a cold wet day and we were a little early for our booking, but they got us seated as soon as they could. Booking recommended, it
Got to the restaurant and needed to wait 45 minutes. It was worth it. The over 4000 reviews at 4.8 stars lives up to its name 100%. The food was delicious, we had a scotch egg and the gammon with black pudding mash. I couldn’t recommend it more. The staff are super friendly and helpful with recommen
I am skeptical of places in a touristy area that have such great reviews… but my friend booked reservations here and I am glad she did. It is basic Scottish food but good. My friend raved about the beef and her potatoes. I enjoyed trying a Scottish egg and the sticky toffee pudding was alright. It h
I had the haggis with black pudding mash. She had the lamb with cheesy mash. Honestly really nice food, but feels a bit pricey for what it is. Also would you please add a little bit more ice cream to the sticky toffee pudding!! (The picture doesn't do it justice but we both ran out of ice cream afte
We were trying Haggis for the first time and it was exceptional (both the beef one and the vegetarian one).
Definitely try the cheese mash. It was fantastic, and all the dish came together with the amazing sauce.
The broccoli was outstanding as well.
The staff were very kind and energetic which was
I was there on a busy Sunday evening. The person organizing the queue was very helpful. I was able to be seated after a 45-minute wait using the cell phone notification system. The food was good. I enjoyed one of the mushroom dishes with the cheddar and sour cream mashed potatoes. Overall a great ex
We ended up sitting outside because there was no indoor seating available. It was nice, although a bit breezy. The service was really good, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the haggis, scotch egg, sausage, and mushroom makars were!
I’d recommend booking. Portions are quite small for the price but the quality of food was incredible so I forgave them quite quickly! Ordered a side portion of broccoli and never thought I would enjoy vegetables ever in my life as much as I did those. Picture is of vegetarian sausage and cheese mas
This is a must stop when in Edinburgh! A great place for trying haggis or the vegetarian option! All our food was amazing and loved the many options of mashed potato! Really friendly staff who looked after us well and felt good to be supporting an independent restaurant! We didn’t have a booking but
I brought my family from overseas here and they are so impressed with the food and service. I booked online and requested the best seats and they gave me by the window. I don’t know the staff’s name, the lady with the short pink hair and tattoo is so attentive, quick, and friendly! Great service, al
It was my first time to try Scottish food, and I like the haggis dish. The overall taste is mild and the sauce is delicious. The sweet potato daily soup is also good.
It's definitely a classic given the cold weather. Food is nicely complimented by good options of wine and beers. You have to make reservations to avoid disappointment. Has good options for vegetarians and they can do kids meals.
Filling and delicious! Both the lamb shank and the beef shoulder were tender and flavourful. The mustard mash was a surprising hit — even better than the popular bacon & spring onion in our opinion. Slaw was fine, but it who goes to a mash bar for slaw?! Sticky toffee pudding was the perfect end - w
We dove right in with the full portion of haggis and discovered that we really like it. Best Scotch egg I've ever had: somehow they make it so it's not too heavy. Unfortunately they sold out of their homegrown lions mane mushroom, but the woodland mushroom was excellent. Get the sticky toffee puddin
