I was delighted to accept an invite to the tour at The Real Mary Kings Close and have lunch in their cafe, The Royal Exchange Coffee House. I’ve always thought of The Real Mary Kings Close as a visitor attraction with the emphasis on visitor – I’m a local – why would I go; and the only reason I would probably go is if visiting family members and friends from abroad wanted a very ‘Scottish’ experience. After my visit, I’ve changed my mind and here’s why.

It's a delightful spot. Beautiful ornate high ceilings, lots of light which is very bright after you emerge from the dark streets below. The original Royal Exchange Coffee House operated in the 18th/19th centuries and was where the Scottish Enlightenment use to gather to debate the issues of the day. It would also have been accessed through what is now the quadrangle at the City Chambers.

The menu offers authentic Scottish fare using Scottish produce and suppliers. You'll find dishes such as Highland Cullen Skink Soup, delicious sandwiches such as the Lockerbie Cheddar and a Tomato Salad as well as a good selection of cakes and teas/coffees.

I opted for the pie.

A steak and haggis pie supplied by McGhee's Bakery (Scottish Baker of the Year 2015/2016) . The pie was served with side salad and a basket of hand-cut chips. To drink I ordered a Latte coffee.

The pie, salad and chips and my Latte arrived. The presentation is lovely. The pie is delicious and what I would call a true Scots pie. Super crunchy crust and filled to the brim with steak and haggis. The salad was freshly made. The only slight downside was the chips - they were a little soft and soggy with no crispiness to them at all but then again the only person that can make proper chips is my mum!

I’d heard that Mary King’s Close had done some re-jigging within their popular tourist attraction to use the Burgh Courtroom as a more extensive cafe. This didn’t really register with me as a significant matter, but I chanced across their menu and it seemed to have a decent focus on showcasing local produce, so I made a note to visit and finally got around to popping in on a quiet December lunchtime.
