• great tatties

after a visit today i thought i'd update my review. one of the oldest veg places in edinburgh starting in 1983 a year after kalpna and many years after hendersons. i started visiting at this time when cockburn street was a homage to alternative shops especially fashion shops based on music, punk, ska and mods. at this time i wasn't even veggie but it seemed a cheap place to eat offering filling food and good value. so many years later and i have a real soft spot for the baked tattie shop, in summer the queue is out the door and then some, there is one solitary table which i think in all my time i have managed to get a seaat at twice, be prepared to walk! i had a small potato today with a spicy rice and vegan slaw, it was filling and feel a small is enough for lunch. they had about five hot fillings all of which were vegan, they also had vegan spread. the food was as always was filling and tasty. anyone who knows me will know i always talk about heathy food not just vegan. the food is heathy here, so many choices with tofu, pulses and salad you get filled with no guilt, just veg. if you come to edinburgh my lunch was just over a fiver and is well worth the wait. it's not fancy, but its wholesome and filling. just great healthy food
