Baked potato

Really tasty food, i never had potato in this way before. I got so exited so i forgot to take a picture. I hade a large (and it was large) potato with chilli (hot filling), butter and cheese. Its to bad that this is my last day in scotland otherwise i would go back tomorrow. It was not expensive for that big portion and was on the royal mile


So i went back to Edinburgh from sweden so i could have the same potato again, haha of it was one of the reasons. It was better then i remembered. It a must have if you are here

Great value for such a central location

We visited the Baked Potato Shop a couple of times during our stay in Edinburgh and it was great both times. The portions are really generous and it’s good value for such a central location. I tried the curried sweetcorn, chickpea salad and haggis toppings and they were all great.

Pros: Lots of varied topping options, Generous portions, Cheap

Cons: Doesn’t seem to have toilets?, Limited seating, Service a bit slow at busy times

Love this place

Been here a bunch of times and will keep coming back. I usually choose the vegan haggis baked potato with creamed corn/curry corn - much nicer than it sounds!

Pros: Large serving size, Cheapish, Lots of options

Cons: Too much food, I can never finish it

Great potatoes and good range of fillings

The potatoes are great and you get a really good choice of fillings. Everything is clearly marked if vegan and you have a choice of vegan or dairy butter for the potatoes.

I am made of potato

Very generous portions. There are labelled vegan fillings on the board including haggis, curry corn, Mexican corn and coleslaw. You get 1& a half jacket potatoes and you can choose how many toppings you get. I'm not sure if they had vegan butter, the girl who was working was a bit confusing and abrupt. Food was tasty though.

Increïbles patates farcides

Patates molt grans amb diferents farciments (alguns sorprenents) amb varies opcions veganes.
Molt bones.

Simple but decent

You pay for a simple potato with a filling which is exactly what you get, not more not less.

Vegan Haggis in a Baked Potato

First time trying haggis and I loved it. Big baked potatoes for the win.

Only wish the avocado salad was vegan. Would be a perfect topping.

Really good

It is a small little shop with a few places to sit. But the menu is big, there are many different dishes to choose from and the staff was really helpful! Would totally recommend.

Loved how much potato you got for your money! Great choice of fillings and I enjoyed the Vegan Haggis. It was a bit dry in places, but I added some ketchup which helped.

Gets the job done!

I had the vegan haggis jacket potato and it was tasty, filling, and inexpensive. Ideal place for a quick lunch stop to refuel when walking around Old Town. 👍🏼

Who knew?

MacSween's haggis and vegan coleslaw pair SO well! If this potato and Ardbeg are any indication, the Scots do sweet and savoury very well. Very filling.

The worst baked potatoes we've ever had

Completely inedible fillings - one with hummus that was completely tastless and had no seasoning and one with chilli that was so incredibly spicy that it was shocking they were selling it to customers. Also slow service for filling two potatoes. Who knew baked potatoes could go so wrong??

Pros: The potato was soft

Cons: Disgusting and inedible fillings
