This is your perfect list of things to eat and do in Edinburgh. Edinburgh is a city full of history, architecture, culture and a seriously good (and underrated) food scene. And thankfully there are many halal and halal friendly options too! In this post, I will list 16 restaurants / food places you need to visit when in Edinburgh.
1. Zaza’s Coffee House
Halal Scottish breakfast and haggis! Perfectly located overseeing the Edinburgh castle you can visit this before you start your Edinburgh castle or Royal Mile visit day. And the only place in Edinburgh where you can get halal haggis in this form according to our knowledge. View full post here.
2. Mary’s Milk Bar
Best ice cream in Edinburgh. Legends of the game – they totally cannot be missed. Located right next to (literally) Zaza’s, this is the perfect post Edinburgh castle or Royal Mile visit dessert. View full post here.
3. Hata Cafe
Scottish oats served in creative concoctions! You can’t come to Edinburgh and not try oats right? I feel this is the best place to try it out at in Edinburgh. Run by a wonderful couple! View full post here.
4. Snax Cafe
Retro and rustic British breakfast spot. You gotta love rustic British breakfast joints (greasy spoons). There’s just a warm charm about them. This is another great breakfast option as are the other three above. This place is not halal, but they have awesome vegetarian and vegan options and I mean really good options! Located near Arthur’s Seat, this could be the breakfast of champions to get your hiking day started.
5. Pakora Bar
Innovative Punjabi food concept. The focus is pakoras here, something humble and familiar but done in such a unique way. Very creative. You have to check this place out. Recently fully halal too, so you’re able to try their offerings. View full post here.
6. Mosque kitchen
Started of as a kitchen providing mosque attendees with food, now they are visited by locals and tourists alike. Great story and an example of how they have brought communities together. And the food is great! Canteen style Indian food is what you’ll get here. Cheap, cheerful and delicious! View full post here.
7. Deep sea fish and chips
Only 100% halal fish and chip shop in Edinburgh. Need I say more? This is one of the only places you’ll be able to try their fried mars bar and fried pizza as far as I know. When in Rome… View full post here.
8. St Andrews
Believed to be one of the best fish and chips in Edinburgh and they have halal options! A must try especially if you plan on visiting Portobello beach.
9. Bross Bagels
They are bringing the best bagels in the world from the bagel capital of the world (Montreal) to Edinburgh! They have an impressive menu with some classic bagel options as well as some very creative ones. Their veg options are equally impressive! They have a few branches, we visited the one near Portobello beach.
10. Considerit
Not only are the doughnuts here plant-based, but they are arguably the best doughnuts in Edinburgh! How about that for a claim!? Check them out and disagree with me if you can! They are located near Arthur’s Seat, so a cheeky post hike treat? View full post here.
11. Fudge House
An Edinburgh staple! This is an absolute institution – one for the fudge lovers for sure. They have been around since 1949 and they do some of the best and most creative fudge known to man! The lemon meringue pie fudge is my personal recommendation. Located on the Royal Mile, make sure you pick this up for yourself or as a gift! View full post here.
12. Smoov
Gelato filled doughnuts! I think I do not need to say anything further? Located on the Royal Mile, so a perfect mid walk treat. View full post here.
13. Makars Gourmet Mash bar
Check these guys out. Very cool concept. They are not halal, but have good vegetarian options. Unfortunately, didn’t have the time to visit.
14. Piemaker
A must stop for pie lovers. They have a whole menu full of different pies. Not halal, but again some really good vegetarian options.
15. Chinese bubble tea
This is supposedly the best bubble tea spot in Edinburgh, but they had run out of stock so we went to another one right next to it – Maycheelin – it was an awesome alternative for our bubble tea fix.
16. Butta Burger
Supposedly the best halal burger spot in Edinburgh. Didn’t get a chance to try it ourselves.
