Lovely vegan haggis

My non-vegan boyfriend really wanted to try haggis, and was delighted to find a place where they had vegan alternatives. I was not disappointed, incredibly tasty, fresh food and cozy place.

Pros: Vegan haggis!!!, Several vegan options, Nice location on Victoria Street

Tasty vegan haggis

We went to the Victoria street restaurant and were very impressed. The vegan haggis was very tasty, especially the mash and sauce. I had risotto for my main and that was lovely too. Not loads of options but enough to choose from. The service was very good and it felt like a ‘posher’ option for a treat. Their 2 and 3 course deals and quite good value.

Pros: Tasty, Good location, Good value

Expensive but not worth the price

There are some vegan options that are easily identified thankfully. The best dish was the soup of the day with miso, burnt onion and parsnip, definitely would recommend. The vegan haggis was great, but the other accompanying veggies were bland. And asking 17 pounds for half a cauliflower is quite crazy to me. Especially when it wasn't particularly good either.
There's plenty of amazing vegan food in Edinburgh, fully vegan spots as well, and unfortunately this doesn't live up to it.

Pros: The soup of the day, Quick service

Cons: Expensive, Bland

Very nice dining experience

I had the vegan haggis and pea risotto, as well as a chocolate mousse for dessert and it was amazing. The menu clearly marks the vegan options and even specifies the vegan wines on the wine list. A highlight of Edinburgh!

Tasty food

Entered the restaurant without any idea of what it would be like - they mention they cater for vegans on the outside of the restaurant. It was quite fancy but tasty food. A couple of vegan options for each meal but wish there were more. I got the pea and lemon spring risotto, and then the chocolate pot for dessert.

Pros: Tasty food

Cons: Expensive , Limited choice
