First time trying haggis and I wasn't disappointed! Really tasty with the whiskey sauce! The staff were lovely too! Would recommend trying!
I really liked the place. Very cosy and extremely helpful staff. I could easily use the restroom, pump milk for my baby and ask for water bottle refills. The haggis I bought was vegan one and it was quite yum. They have merchandise of hagis as well which was quite fun to see
Amazing haggis and amazing quiche, wasn't a fan of either of them before coming here but this place genuinely made me change my mind!! Service was also great and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and return one day.
Good place to try haggis dish. Quality is good and pricing is reasonable taking into account that it is located in the center of Edinburgh. Service is very kind and there are different types of haggis and sauces to try, even a vegan option.
Thanks to Blythe and Adam I had a wonderful experience ! They are incredibly nice and friendly, making me feel so welcome from the moment I arrived. Blythe gave me great recommendations, and I even tried my first Haggis and it was absolutely delicious! The dish was served super fast, and the flavors were amazing. Thank you both for such a fantastic experience.
Had their haggis in their catering van at the Royal Highland Show. Then i had to visit their permanent cafe on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. It's in an interesting building too! Great haggis served in the traditional way. Haggis is a must try if you are a visitor, this is the best place for it! See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.
Went in because I saw a YT short about this place; came out with overflowing love for haggis and humanity. When I went in the tables are all occupied, so I was like, I’m gonna sit at the bench. But the owner (I’m sorry if you’re not an owner but you definitely own my heart after this interaction) PULLED OUT A CHAIR for a table in a corner for me to sit ALONE, asking me about my day, if I came here in time to catch the live music. This act of kindness made me believe in humanity again. There’s hope for us y’all!!! Anyway, the food— haggis & neeps and tatties was criminally smooth, rich, and the sauce will further make it easy to eat for all the first time haggis tryers. This is not my first time eating haggis, but I enjoyed it all the same. 100/10 stop reading and go try it out already
I didn’t know what to expect! My tour guide recommended the place, refused to tell me anything other than “get haggis with whiskey sauce.” Okkkkkk! The ingredients are vile, but I’ll eat anything as long as it tastes good! This was no exception! Very tasty meal (kinda pricy for a snack, 13 pounds), but I think it’s filling. Good service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
