Beetlejuice On Yelp
Get the impression this used to be someone's living room. It's across the road from The Blind Poet and The Pear Tree pubs and a stones throw from Edinburgh University.
Staff are friendly and up for a laugh, comfy enough even though a bit cozy Student prices so quite cheap. Good home made soup and a panini. So no nonsense kinda grub, especially if you are a student with your backside hanging out your trousers and strapped for cash.
Pig In A Poke On Yelp
Along Rose Street you will see a roasted pig in a window and the meat is teased in to pulled pork.
Fairly basic really, only one choice of food...pulled pork....but a few choices of what bread and accouterments you want. No nonsense grab and go lunch, just beware if you are a jet setter with a posh suit, the more you put on your pork sore fist, the more likely it is something will dribble down that precious silk tie ruining that all important first impression.....I had the toasted wrap...pretty good actually and would recommend if you want something immediately due to a raging hangover or lack of time!! Good selection of drinks in the cooler.
Le Cafe Royale On Yelp
On the Saturdays when I'm going out with "The Musketeers" to the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, I take the train to the Toon and go my Tai Chi Chuan Class. Since this place is at the back of The Waverley Station and on the High Street/Royal Mile. I thought I'm starving I need breaky! Anyway Good Haggis and a good linked sausage roll eaten on the walk to training.
Thought I'd try it for lunch, got a nice kebab my colleague got some nice soup and a panini. All went pete tong when I went there alone and got the fish n chips!!! Glorified fish finger it was! Not impressed!! Fish from a box from a freezer. I also made a mistake of getting a smoothie, advertised on the table by some company I cannot remember the name of. I got a frozen smoothie from a bag in a freezer mixed with apple juice....NOT HAPPY!!
Stick to what does not obviously come from a freezer.
McDonald's
Don't usually go to McD's I have to say. But...if you want a breakfast and a surprisingly decent coffee the one on The Waverley Steps is actually really quite good. As I said not an every day occurence but...when you have a hunger on....breakfast wrap and a couple extra hash browns...now we are talking!!!
The Snack Van Buchlyvie
On the road from Stirling to Loch Lomond, there lurks Polis speed traps and if you survive them, a wee Snack Van in a lay by. This snack van has been proved to set you up for a hard days fishing catching heehaw on Loch Lomond. I noticed yesterday they do an all day breakfast too, I am partial to a Stornoway black pudding and egg doubler roll, or a haggis and egg doubler roll with a cuppa cha....then its off to fight nature in a big wave with torrential rain or a flat calm with bright sunshine ready to go topless. Good place to get a bite even if you are out for a wee run in your motorized vehicle of choice. it's located here....Buchlyvie Burn Snack Van
