Haggis and Whisky House - Edinburgh

On conquering haggis, and enjoying whisky!

Haggis and Whisky House in Edinburgh does justice to their name, and has many other delicious things on their menu.

Haggis with Whisky Sauce

If your response to haggis is, "oooh, I don't know...", can't say I blame you. However, having recently tried haggis for the first time (thankfully I had completely forgotten the details of how it is prepared, got to love old age!), I have to say it was really good! It is well seasoned, and flavorfull, and paired with nips (turnips) and tatties (potatoes), and an incredible whisky sauce.

It truly is delicious! What's even more incredible is that almost every restaurant in Edinburgh also seems to have vegetarian haggis on the menu, also delicious. Perhaps because that is a lot easier for people to order...

Crispy Haddock and Chips

Ok, so maybe this just isnt for you.

You ARE in the United Kingdom, so how could you go wrong with fish and chips! Their fish and chips, served with mushy peas, are amazing! The batter is nice and crisp, and the fish is cooked perfectly.

 

Haloumi Burger

Yet another bonus is that the Haggis and Whisky house has many vegetarian dishes on their menu, from an incredible tomato soup, to a really yummy haloumi burger, and vegetarian haggis! So if you happen to be in the area, do go visit them.

The food was so good in fact, we ended up there for 2 meals!

Edinburgh’s Finest Sausages

What first drew us in, as walked by was the eclectic decor (and the wall of whisky). They have tables with brightly colored chairs, and also mosaic lounge chairs. In bright red. Believe it or not, they are actually comfortable! The interiors are well designed and have huge windows that light up the space and make it warm and inviting.

Whether you are here for a drink, or for food, you really cannot go wrong. So if you are ever in Edinburgh, and looking for place to eat, where the staff is friendly, and the food is great - be sure to stop in at the Haggis and Whisky House.

 

Bottom Line:
Price - $$
Ambience - Eclectic

Vegetarian Friendly - Yes
