It isn’t called The Baked Potato Shop because of any lack of imaginatio n (the extensive menu shows plenty), but it must be because it’s •The• Baked Potato Shop!

I’ve yet to find a shop absolutely here else that is as good.

Even a so-called “small” potato is big enough for most appetites, “medium” only if you were not planning to have anything else to eat for the rest of the day, and “large” must be only for the absolutely ravenous (I’ve never dared).

The only downside is that the shop is tiny and there is only one small table if you want to sit-in to eat.

On the other hand, if it’s a sunny day, you can enjoy your potato in Princes Street Gardens only a few minutes walk away.

The Baked Potato Shop Review | Vegan Edinburgh

If you’re looking for a cheap, easy and quick bite to eat – look no further than The Baked Potato Shop.

It probably won’t surprise you to learn that The Baked Potato Shop specialises in… well, baked potatoes.

What may surprise you is the wide selection of hot and cold fillings there are available – the ones listed below are vegan: The potatoes come in a choice of sizes: small, medium and large.

Perfect when you’re really hungry… Last time I went I opted for a medium sized potato with veggie haggis.

The medium potato was so huge, I dread to think what size the large potatoes are like!

With regular queues out the door, this vegan fast food joint has been filling tatties and tums since 1983.

Just like stepping into Santa’s workshop, it’s as if the little potato helpers in this cosy Cockburn Street nook have been working day and night to cook the piles of baked tatties here.

As a vegan joint, the classic beef chilli and tuna mayo fillings are a no-go, but normal or garlic butter potatoes can be loaded with cheesy baked beans, (soya) egg mayo or healthy quinoa and avocado salads.

Don’t be fooled thinking you can pop in for a light bite: a small potato is essentially a large, a medium is a big ’un-and-a-half.

You can replace spuds with bread rolls or salad, and finish it all of with homemade vegan cakes and traybakes.

With eating a plant-based diet becoming more and more common, also Edinburgh delivers when it comes to vegetarian and vegan cafes and restaurants.

Moon & Hare is a relative newcomer on the Edinburgh food scene and describe themselves as a local, independent, gluten free, vegetarian, vegan artisan eatery and deli.

Although this place does have vegetarian options on the a la carte menu, it’s because of the monthly vegan night that we’re including Bread Street Brasserie here.

Organic Delicious is a vegetarian cafe where you can choose between delicious-sounding breakfast and lunch options, such as a vegan sausage roll, homemade lentil chilli or burrito bowl.

With a changing daily menu of six soups, including vegan and vegetarian options you won’t struggle having a healthy, meat-free lunch at Union of Genius!

I seem to remember a period in the Eighties where Edinburgh was dotted with jacket potato shops.

The Baked Potato shop at the top of Cockburn street is one of the survivors, mainly thanks to the hundreds of grated cheese, pineapple, and onion potatoes I lived off when working just round the corner from here.

It's very central being just off the High Street, in the Old Town.

You can also mix and match fillings.

At busy times of day, it's not unknown for there to be queues to the Baked Potato Shop.
