Holy Cow is such a staple for me on my visits to Edinburgh. The food is so comforting and…read moredelicious. Holy cow is 100% plant based and has a wide variety of options to choose from. Most recently, I had the english breakfast and it was a hardy plate full of all the essentials. Everything on it was excellent. I was also excited to see that they had a house-made pumpkin spice latte on the menu, even in July! Holy Cow can get very busy (when I was there on a Thursday, one group after another came in.) But they do a good job at seating everyone quickly, as well as taking orders and bringing out food promptly. During my last visit, I was seated inside, but previously I got to enjoy their back patio. The latter is really lovely on a rare sunny day in Edinburgh. Either way, you'll enjoy your time here.

I really enjoyed Gram's and here's why. I had been stalking them on social media prior to the…read moreopening. I had seen the whole raw and gluten free focus they had and had been intrigued to see how good this would be. Plus it was around a 10 min walk from Chez Moi so perfect. The whole raw thing tends to be associated with being vegan in an uber healthy kind of way. I'm used to the whole vegan-gluten free thing but sometimes I want healthy food thats not necessarily vegan or vegetarian. Gram's totally fit the bill in this respect. The cakes look and taste amazing with many vegan and gluten free options so nice tick in the box. Some cool flavoured sodas are also available. I was hungry though so I went for one of the salads but loved that these weren't pure vegetables and you could get chicken, beef or salmon too. Yum, huge portion with (for me) lots of salmon and rainbow colours of veggies. I felt super healthy having a lovely balanced meal. I couldn't resist without trying the cake so got a strawberry & cream cheesecake which was beautiful. I was probably around £13 for my salad, soda and cake. There's not a huge amount of seats so you may have to lurk until someone leaves although take away is available. Great addition to Haymarket with lovely options and helpful staff if you have dietary requirements and need to double check what is suitable.

Kids' Mac and cheese wasn't all that but the pulled pork was good. Wouldn't recommend but it was not horrific.

We visited Makars Mash Bar in Edinburgh and ordered the lamb shank and pork shank, both served over…read moretheir famous mashed potatoes. Both dishes were outstanding and showcased exactly why this restaurant is so highly recommended. The lamb shank was incredibly tender, rich, and flavorful, practically falling off the bone with every bite. The gravy paired perfectly with the creamy mash, creating a hearty and satisfying meal. The pork shank was equally impressive--crispy on the outside, juicy and succulent on the inside, with deep, savory flavors throughout. The accompanying red cabbage and slaw added a nice balance and freshness to both plates. Portion sizes were generous, the presentation was excellent, and every component felt thoughtfully prepared. If you're looking for authentic Scottish comfort food in Edinburgh, Makars Mash Bar is a must-visit. Both the lamb shank and pork shank were exceptional, and we'd gladly order either again.

We ordered a Traditional Haggis with the Whisky and Mustard Sauce and an order of the Scotch Eggs (served cold). Now, the haggis was delicious especially with the tasty sauce poured over it. The dish was served over a bed of turnips and mashed potatoes (neeps & tatties). Very traditional and tasty. Definitely worth the visit for this dish. The Scotch Eggs were not too tasty and I'm not sure why they were served cold. My wife says she's had them warm before and tasted much better that way. This was my first time trying Scotch Eggs so I didn't know what to expect. This dish was served with salad and potato chips (crisps). I did have a Thistly Cross Scottish Cider with this meal and that was very good. I'll keep an eye out for this cider elsewhere for future drinking occasions. Go here for the great haggis and super casual ambiance.

She's very friendly and professional. For lunch we chose several starters and a main. The starters included the short crust tart that was a delicate pastry filled with clarified onion and cheese.
