The Haggis Box in Edinburgh, City of

We never would have came across this place if not for TripAdvisor! It is hidden away in a library called the storytelling centre and is a little hatch in the wall but the food is AMAZING! Staff very lovely and helpful, offering us advice on what to go for. Went with traditional haggis neeps and tatties with whiskey sauce and practically licked the plate it was delicious. Make the effort to go!

Very dissapointed. Worst meal I had in Edinburg. The soup was inedible and haggis were plain and tasteless, not recommended. Money waste

First of all the waiting staff made this place amazing. They were very informative, helpful and friendly. The food was fresh, local and delicious. We ate the main Haggis, nepes and tatties. It was very good and very reasonable, especially for the area it was situated. Also the coffee (latte) was delicious 😋. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely loved our haggis neeps and tatties from the haggis box. The staff were brilliant too and really friendly. Definitely recommend this place and the price was excellent for city centre.

The Haggis Box is a little gem in the Scottish Storytelling Centre. Such a comfortable vibe inside, and the staff was happy to help explain the menu. As vegetarians, my daughter and I ordered the vegan haggis, accompanied by turnips (neeps) and potatoes (tatties), and served with a delicious whisky-mustard sauce. My carnivore husband ordered the traditional version. Everything was wonderful! The vegan haggis was savory, filling but still light, and well-seasoned—total comfort food. We also had excellent coffee and a scrumptious slice of marmalade cake. Highly recommended!

Lovely atmosphere, great food and friendly staff. Perfect welcome into Edinburgh! Can’t recommend the haggis neaps and tatties with the whisky sauce- beautiful!

I went w my class there and it was the first time I tried haggis, I really liked it even though it lead me to a big diarrhea that completely slaughtered the toilet , it was like Hiroshima but the explosion was stinkier I d advice you to not go to the men toilet, there must be some leftover of my poopburst

Strange at first but then really good. I ate it with the whisky sauce and I recommanded it ! Thanks for this really good experience

Very friendly service, haggis with neeps and tatties was delicious, price was good as well. Toilets clean, would definitely return.

Came in for lunch with a friend and ordered 2 lattes and 2 portions of haggis neeps and tatties. We were served by Adam Thompson, who made us beautiful looking lattes. He really made our experience. Table service was really quick and food tasted amazing. Would 100% recommend. Will be back.

We were so happy to stumble across this place during our first visit to Edinburgh. Staff was very friendly and the food was amazing!

Located in a story telling/library but food area was very clean, and quite busy. Food presented very nicely and quite tasty. Set us up for the afternoon. It looks a small portion but its actually not - it does have a bit of height in the bowl!

Great place. Tasty haggis and super friendly staff - Pete is a legend. Strongly recommend for any tourists or locals alike.

Visited during the fringe and was so excited to find somewhere that was specifically for haggis as my partner and I love it (I'm vegan and a frequent visitor to Scotland so love trying the different veggie haggis on offer if I can get it). Sadly I was left disappointed. The vegan haggis was very dry with little flavour, it was overwhelmed by the sauce-though I needed an extra helping to compensate the dryness. Cost price a bit steep too at over £30 just for lunch - 2 drinks cost as much as one of the haggis portions. That said, my partner enjoyed his meat haggis and the neeps and tatties were good. Really friendly staff and a great atmosphere, just not somewhere I'd return unfortunately.

Last year Mum and I came to the Edinburgh Tattoo on a last minute whim. Nothing planned for when we got here but the Tattoo. While wandering we came across this lovely cafe. I had never had Haggis, nor did I know what Neeps were (46 yrs and not a clue 🤭) After a little lesson from mum, we decided I was going to try it. We got a haggis, tatties and neeps with whiskey cream sauce to share...just in case...I so wished we had got two! Fast forward a year and we came back to Edinburgh for the Tattoo and Fringe (much better planned) but I couldn't wait to go back to The Haggis Box cafe for my very own haggis, tatties and neeps and it didn't let me down...delish 😋

Would definitely recommend this as a nice spot for lunch to get away from the hustle and bussle of the Royal Mile. The portion size for the haggis wasn’t massive but the sauce it came in was divine. There was a choice of two and we option for the creamy whisky sauce.

Popped in following very good reviews & my love of haggis. I was not disappointed with the haggis flavour - very nice and yummy. However, i was slightly disappointed in the portion size for the price paid £11.50 (including sauce). However i will caveat it with the fact i was ravenous from a 12 mile run earlier in the day! My wife said her portion was ample. We were also given a complimentary shortbread - i have to say that was delicious! Best shortbread i’ve ever tasted.

The Haggis at the Haggis Box is INCREDIBLE! Please find this wonderful spot and truly ENJOY some of the best Haggis ever!

Very friendly staff, haggis ready in a minute. There was so much flavour in the plate ❤️🫶 I was affraid I wouldn't like it, but haggis served there turned out to be incredibly delicious. Highly recommend 🥰

Called in after reading reviews, was not disappointed. Very tasty food. Friendly staff, who also provided local information Would definitely return.

We originally stopped in to sample a Scotch egg (chorizo) and it was so good and the people were so friendly that we had to return the next day for some haggis. Glad we did. At this part of our journey we’d tried multiple haggis...

Haggis with red wine gravy. Delicious. Will be back to try the whiskey and mustard. Soup off the day was lentil and apricot. Really tasty. Lively atmosphere.

Very good dinner with friends !! Nice service. Tasty haggis and soup of the day. You should try it !! I recommend !! Polecam !!

The haggis with whiskey sauce, porridge, GF shortbread, blueberry lime cake,coffee and cappuccinos were all fabulous! If we were here longer we’d go back again tomorrow!!

The place had really nice music and good food. It wasn’t too expensive and had a cosy atmosphere. I hope I will have a possibility to visit it again!

After watching several vlogs, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have my first haggis experience at The Haggis Box. It was really good and there was no "gaminess". Definitely, try the whiskey mustard sauce.

Small overpriced portions. I had the haggis, tatties and neeps with a rather runny "whisky" sauce. It tasted like vinegar. I can only put that down to the sauce.

Absolutely love the work that the team do. Not only do they serve the best Haggis, Neep & Tatties in the city, they are full of passion and energy for their business and it’s extremely affordable. Top quality experience I’ll be bringing all my tour...

Came to Edinburgh for a long weekend, for my husbands 60th. We went to the Haggis box for lunch & wow, the haggis was amazing! We were made to feel very welcome. Thank you. We would highly recommend if you are looking for a cosy...

Just the ticket on a rainy day. Haggis beeps and tatties with red wine gravy was delicious. Comfortable simple venue, the staff were lovely, and the price was right. Would recommend. Don’t bother with a pub haggis, go here!

A great wee place to visit on the High Street, great food and fabulous staff with very resonable prices

I understand there's highest inflation in decades, but for what you get, small ice cream scoops, this is ridiculous.

Really simple, delicious and easy-going introduction to Scotland’s most famous dish for my kids (10 & 7). Casual cafe environment in the storytelling centre, friendly and efficient service - ideal for a quick but hearty bowl of haggis with tatties, neeps and a choice of...

Reasonably priced, delicious food especially considering its location. The man who served us was very friendly and couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick bit of decent grub, or someone going to try their first...

cost us £21 for 2 haggis, one with sauce. in each bowl was one scoop of haggis, one scoop neeps and tatties. l could go for a lunch buffet for £10 at my local restaurant. taste was nice, though nothing special. man was very friendly...

Ate here in 2019 and feel horrible for not leaving a review earlier..The Haggis was amazing,,,The flavor was just sublime. not the heavy mineral taste some people expect...The Whisky Sauce was sooooo good, I asked for extra and was duly rewarded...Wonderful creamy texture that complimented...

I ended up at the Haggis Box after noticing several Edinburgh travel blogs as well as local YouTube personalities had mentioned it. The owner was working behind the counter and she was lovely! Very friendly and welcoming. Although it is in a plain cafeteria setting,...

Tucked away in the Storytelling Centre the Haggis Box serves up a national classic without frills but full of flavour. We had the traditional haggis with whisky mustard sauce we are haggis novices but the dish was flavourful and exceptionally tasty.

The vegan haggis is beautiful, the vegan whisky and mustard sauce is absolutely spectacular and the server was absolutely lovely. I absolutely recommend getting some haggis here if you're in Edinburgh!

We were so impressed with this establishment! The people were so friendly and and the haggis was wonderful. We are making a special trip to eat here again before we fly home. Highly recommend!

I popped into the Haggis Box to try their gluten-free haggis, which looked delicious. I got the whisky sauce, which I highly recommend. The entire meal was tasty and the employees were very friendly. If I'd had time on the trip, I would've eaten at...

Just ate lunch there. Had Haggis and my wife had a Scotch egg. To say it was delicious is an understatement. We will be going back for more!!

We were so lucky to find The Haggis Box and that it was still open. We shared Haggis with neeps & tatties. It was delicious! Highly recommend! You must try Haggis. They also have vegan. Took a Scotch egg to go. The owner is so...

My first time having haggis and i went back for another lunch another time and brought more of my american friends with me. The spicing and flavors are great and complimented by the neeps and tatties. their home made soups are really delicious and fresh....

I had the vegan haggis here and it was delicious! The mustard sauce went really nicely with it despite me not usually liking mustard. The staff who served me were super friendly and the place has a nice atmosphere. Would definitely go back again!

The Haggis Box were one of the caterers at my daughter’s wedding at Yester Estate, Gifford. Peter was so friendly, chatting with guests. The haggis, neeps and tatties were the best I’ve ever had. Choice of whiskey or red wine sauce. Veggie option, which I’m...

Went to 2 concerts at Floors Castle & had haggis both nights. It’s great to see traditional Scottish food amidst the burgers, chips etc. Great food, great value. Friendly, cheerful staff.

Found them at the Royal Highland show, fabulous vegan haggis,neeps and tatties! So good I went back a second day! Definitely try them out

I had vegan haggis and it was lovely. Husband has Thistly Cross cider. A very clean fresh cider that tasted great and I had the best oat milk latte I’ve had in ages.

Absolutely fantastic slice of tasty Scottish food! We missed visiting the box in the city, so we're delighted to see via social media that the shack is on tour in local villages. We caught up in Oxton and went for the haggis and neeps. Such...

I visited this place twice for lunch, while being in Edinburgh. I had the vegan haggis with mashed neeps (turnips) and tatties (potatoes) on my 1st visit and the Leek & mushroom quiche with salad, on my 2nd visit. The haggis was delicious, it was...

This place is SO good. We saw them in a YouTube video and had to try them. I had the traditional Haggis on neeps and taties with a mustard whiskey sauce. Unreal - totally worth every penny. My wife had the same except it was...

Brilliant service, fantastic food and amazing value for money. Really glad we popped in here. A real gem of a place. Thank you so much x

This place is amazing! Fantastic customer service, very tasty and quite cheap! As a lifelong vegetarian, I’ve not been able to taste much of the local cuisines on my travels, so it meant so much to me to be able to try this Scottish classic!...

I visited here yesterday with my children as they wanted to eat Haggis whilst in Edinburgh. We were not disappointed! We tried the Haggis with the whisky and mustard sauce as well the red wine sauce. It was delicious and not a scrap was left....

I just love a place with a small menu when what they do, they do to perfection! I had the vegetarian haggis box and my family had the meat version, both of which were delicious with the most incredible whisky and mustard sauce. The coffee...

My family of 3 visited this small cafe and we were delighted. The Haggis, neeps and tatties were a must do for our trip along - with trying Iron brew. It’s directly on the Royal mile in the story telling center - not what I...

This place is worth the rave reviews. My haggis, tatties and neeps were very nice and the service was brilliant too. I've never had haggis with a whisky and mustard sauce but it was a hit I could highly recommend this place

What an outstanding experience. It's essential for those wanting a taste of traditional Scottish cuisine. Haggis, tatties and neeps. The portion is just right and it's delicious. Staff are amazing and the ambiance with the art gallery is lovely too. The deserts and coffee are...

Delicious Haggis and the whiskey and mustard sauce is a brilliant addition!! Friendly staff and perfect for a quick re-fueling stop.

Delighted to find The Haggis Box up at the Edinburgh Castle esplanade. It was just what we needed on a cold night. Half the group had veggie haggis and said it tasted great. Portions were generous and the food was really hot and tasty. Finished...

Great veggie haggis! Served with neeps, tatties and a whisky sauce. Lovely food and a peaceful spot to rest from the busyness of the royal mile.

Haggis tatties and neeps was beautifully served and was tasty - but only warm as it had obviously just been microwaved up.

There is a kind of visitors centre (metallic building with steps). Haggis box is in there to the left. Don't go searching for it in the back streets and courtyards like I did. Haggis was delicious and the server was lovely. Very friendly and seemed...

Beautiful spicy haggis with crumbly texture, served on neeps and tatties with Whisky cream sauce. Delicious, quick, friendly and excellent value. Highly recommended for a quick lunch, ams you can have a wander round the story telling centre whilst there as well!

Staff were excellent. first visit I had a latte, very acceptable but, hey, it's a latte. went back a couple of days later for a haggis. The haggis itself was decent, if a little dry, but the neeps and tatties were slightly lumpy. certainly good value for money. Quiet early on and after four, but a pleasantly busy atmosphere early afternoon. Would go again. Excellent location, more or less in the middle of the Royal Mile, in the modernised section of John Knox's House.

My wife and I both had the the haggis, neeps and tatties with the whiskey and mustard sauce. Really delicious 😋 Can't wait to have it again next time I'm in Edinburgh!

First time we ate haggis and it was delicious. Must try when in Edinburgh. Nice and fast service-great when in hurry or simply don’t want to loose lots of time for lunch.

We stumbled over this place and how glad we were! We both had haggis, neeps and tatties with the whisky and mustard creamy sauce. Great price for the quality of the food and beautifully served. I'm coeliac and so having a gluten free option was fab. In fact, all of their haggis is gluten free anyway which was so reassuring. I would certainly recommend this little gem of a place to anyone visiting Edinburgh who wants to try something regional and authentic. Fab staff too.

As a vegetarian I wasn’t expecting to try any haggis this holiday but came here on a recommendation from a walking tour and was pleasantly surprised ! The vegetarian haggis was delicious with the neeps tatties and whiskey sauce. Very pleasant staff, would highly recommend !

Paid a visit to the haggis box and had the haggis, neeps and tatties with the whisky and mustard sauce and a latte.Served admirably by Laura who was looking after everyone single handed.Would heartily recommend to anyone who would like a taste of Scotland.

My hubby and I popped in here for a late lunch (and with a hangover) on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. I ordered the haggis with the whisky sauce and hubby ordered the version with the red wine sauce. Both versions were delicious and comforting - just what was needed! The server was very friendly too. We would 100% come back!

Oh my goodness. The most gorgeous haggis, neeps and tattiesbi have ever eaten. I had mine with whisky sauce and it was so delicious. Easily located on the main walk down from the castle this place is not to be missed! The staff are super nice and willing to tell you all about their products that are locally sourced. The portions are a good size too. Definitely a ‘must visit’ if you are in Edinburgh. Also very reasonably priced. Located in the Scottish storytelling centre it has loos too and is a wonderful place just to stop. Thank you guys

We tried the haggis with whisky sauce and a bacon butty. Both were hot and fresh but the haggis is definitely a highlight. The haggis came with 'neeps and tatties' (swede/turnip mix and mashed potato).You can also get hot and cold drinks here. Definitely worth a go just for the haggis!

Pour une première fois c'est une belle découverte du plat traditionnel écossais , bien servi et à petit prix ! À tester absolument

Me and my husband ordered Haggis, Neeps and Tatties for £6.50 and Whisky cream mustard sauce. It was absolutely delicious. This was my first time eating haggis and we had seen it being sold in other places nearby for more than twice the price. The venue had nice big tables all safely set apart from each other so we were all very socially distanced from everyone. Staff very friendly and happy to answer queries.

First time eating haggis, was not disappointed. The food is great, staff is really nice, good prices! And the center is worth a visit

Born and raised in Scotland, I've eaten haggis on many occasions. Was put off as a teen by a few that just tasted a bit strange...Moved down south 20 years ago so whilst visiting family in Edinburgh, gave this place a try. Oh my goodness, I am so glad I did! Restored my love for this fine cuisine. My kids had never tried haggis before either as it's not easy to come by where we live and there was thumbs up all round. Highly recommend!

Delicious haggis neeps and tatties and the mustard and whisky sauce is to die for! The service was great, the guys were very friendly behind the counter. We are planning to go back there very soon as it was the best haggis we’ve ever had!

The woman who was working here seemed incredibly rushed off her feet despite it not being that busy, as she seemed to be the only one cooking/preparing and serving/taking orders. It was well worth the wait though, and I really enjoyed the authentic haggis and felt the extra £1 was well worth it for the mustard sauce as otherwise it may have been a little dry for me.

We were pining for our first taste of haggis without having to sit in a restaurant as we were both full to the brim. The haggis box popped up as an unpretentious and relaxed venue. Greeted by a friendly face, we were welcomed into a beautiful exhibition like area with artwork on the walls depicting classic fairytales and stories. We ordered a single haggis to share with a traditional whisky and mustard sauce. It was DELICIOUS.The haggis meat tasted great and the tatties and neeps (?) were smooth and creamy. In summary a great place to pop your haggis cherry or to come and have a delicious meal. Top food, top venue and top staff.Keep it up!

We stopped by the Haggis box after reading reviews and weren't disappointed. Great spot for lunch, with tasty veggie haggis. Host was great, explaining the menu to us.

My partner and I visited The Haggis Box midweek in June. We had the vegan haggis which was super delicious - very tasty and wholesome. We were the only ones in there when we went. The lovely guy serving us explained due to the theatre and offices above being shut, various workshops usually held there cancelled and the current roadworks outside - they are really struggling! Do hope they make it through as the food was amazing, the prices very reasonable and the service was great. We'd visit again in a heartbeat!

We really enjoyed our haggis roll at the haggis box, the whisky sauce complimented it extremely well. The lady who served us was extremely friendly and very attentive. Would recommend.

This place was a great place to have a bite of lunch and sit in a nice spot on the Royal Mile. The vegetarian haggis was great and the host was very friendly and helpful. Also has a yummy gluten free brownie.

I Couldn't have asked for better service from Adam who was working. I have 8 allergies and he was able to accommodate with all of them. Some of the best, or should I say the best 'pure banging haggis' in Edinburgh!!

The Haggis Box is tucked away in the Scottish Storytelling Centre towards the Holyrood Palace end of the Royal Mile. We sought it out after reading other reviews and can say it was well worth the effort. During our short trip to Edinburgh we tried Haggis in a fine dining restaurant and for breakfast at our hotel but I can definitely say the best by far was served up by Adam at The Haggis Box. Warm welcome, quick service and great prices, well worth making the effort to find this Edinburgh treasure.

Lives up to the reviews. The haggis was excellent and the host is very friendly with excellent service. I had the red wine gravy sauce and it was very tasty. Great value.

Amazing and delicious! Well priced meal! Great customer service that makes you want to come back. ;)

Consulte su facebook para ver dónde encontrarlo a continuación. ¡Tuvimos suerte este fin de semana de que Haggis in a Box estuviera en Grassmarket! Si tiene hambre, compre uno para cada uno. ¡Tan sabroso! La salsa de mostaza es muy rica. Definitivamente lo recomiendo, por 6 una caja aquí obtienes una deliciosa ganga.

Great food and nice people. First time in 112 days that I have had a meal I haven't had to cook myself, and it was delicious

I'd never tried haggis and I was a little reluctant but I have to admit that it was absolutely fantastic. Perfect portion size for price, guy that served us was incredibly friendly and even came over to check we were enjoying it. Not what you usually get from a takeout!Two sauce options, one is a red wine gravy and the other a whisky, creamy mustard type one, and they were both delicious. Honestly wish we hadn't left our visit here until our last day because we'd definitely have been frequent visitors otherwise!

Fabulous little place to check out in a great location. Good Haggis, good price great friendly guy serving!! keep up the good work 😎

Hemos estado en Edimburgo durante un mes y ahorramos probando haggis hasta que pudiéramos pasar por aquí; Me alegro de haber esperado. Solo el factor novedad hizo que la espera valiera la pena; refiriéndose tanto a la comida como al establecimiento del tamaño de una "caja" desde donde se vende. Nos sentamos afuera en un banco público en una mezcla de nubes / sol a principios de marzo, una tarde ventosa con temperaturas de 50 grados. Perfecto. No se puede superar la experiencia por 7. 00.

Rather than eat this in a traditional restaurant we saw this place as we walked into the Grassmarket. Perfect portion size and they even catered for my vegetarian daughter! Definitely try this if you’re in the area!

Sicuramente una tappa obbligata per chi vuole assaggiare uno dei piatti tipici della cucina Scozzese a un prezzo da Fast Food e poi c'è anche la simpatia e la gentilezza di Peter.Non ci sono posti a sedere se non nella piazza stessa ma va bene una fermata.

Tuve el haggis vegano con la salsa de whisky y mostaza. Fue muy bueno y conversamos con Peter, quien dirige The Haggis Box. Es un tipo súper amable y, mientras conversábamos, se dio cuenta de que se nos había acabado la salsa y le di un poco más. Comida de primera categoría y estaremos allí mañana también :)

Awesome haggis, cheap and super friendly owner! Comes highly recommended! It’s wasn’t the best weather but it was so delicious that it absolutely was worth sitting outside eating it!

Street food at its best delicious Haggis needs and tattles with a tast whisky and mustard sauce served by friendly people with plenty of advise about the area, thoroughly recommend a really good way to taste a traditional dish

Walked across town to find this little gem, nearly walked past it, but once spotted found the guy running was real friendly, full of info and served up a nice portion of haggis with mustard and whiskey sauce, not a restaurant it's a old police box so no indoor seating if that's what you're looking for but definitely go try it
