"I found Picnic Basket when looking for somewhere to eat before 7am in a squall on a bank holiday. The owner let me in early even though she hadn't gotten her deliveries yet. The place is no frills and no seating. Put the service is local, friendly, and the food is excellent. Bakery rolls with made to order eggs, bacon, etc. or if you want something lighter butter and jam. Porridge with all the toppings and freshly made scones are also top choices. I grabbed breakfast to go on the way to the bus stop every morning. Shop is open for breakfast and lunch on weekdays only. Never had lunch here, but only because were I was working wouldn't allow the trip. Lunch menu looked very yummy for fast but not greasy food."

Regularly go here. Staff recognise regulars and remember orders. Great turkey, brie and grape.Not cheap, but not expensive and very much worth it.

This is another fantastic sandwich spot worth the visit! They offer daily hot specials, with a top recommendation of the macaroni with speck on Wednesdays and the spicy meatball rice on Thursdays.

I highly recommend trying the made-to-order sandwiches at this restaurant. The simple BLT I ordered was cooked to perfection with crispy lettuce, sweet tomato, and flavorful bacon. They are perfect for hungry college students and weary backpackers alike. Don't miss out on trying them!

Your typical coffee/sandwich shop which serves good, affordable 'on the go ' food. They have a wide range of bread for you to choose from which is a plus point when compared to other sandwich shops in Edinburgh. Seats are limited, only 2 in fact, so avoid lunch time if you want to dine in.

I visit Edinburgh 3 or 4 times a year and found this little gem a couple of years ago I now make sure I head there whenever I am in the City and have never been disappointed. Food always great and never a long wait, even when busy at lunch times...would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

I had a fantastic experience at this small restaurant. I ordered a big club sandwich at a very reasonable price and it was filled with delicious ingredients. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. It's becoming harder to find sandwich shops like this one. This place is a great option for breakfast or lunch.

Amazing, very nutritious and extremely tasty food! I get the unlimited salad box for £6 and it has flavour, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and tastes delicious. My salad box had cheese, sun dried tomatoes, red peppers, jalapenos, mango chicken, coronation chicken, lettuce, red cabbage coleslaw, tomatoes and cucumbers!! They also give a very generous amount!

I visited this restaurant to get some takeout, and was impressed by the menu and prices. I ordered a regular roll with cheese, avocado, lettuce, cucumber, and tomato, as well as a large meat feast roll. Both rolls were fresh and delicious, and I had the option of adding mayo or mustard. With 2 soft drinks, the total came to less than £10, which is a great deal in this area of Edinburgh. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning soon.

This is a lovely little takeaway lunch place near the University of Edinburgh. I've been meaning to pop in for quite a while, so I'm glad I finally did. The sandwich selection is large, and vegetarians are certainly adequately covered by the choices on offer. I chose a bacon, brie and cranberry sandwich £2.80 for a regular size), and it tasted wonderful. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. Service was quick and friendly, and there are about three seats in the window if you want to sit in. However, I'm certain the place is more aimed at being for takeaway. For a quick lunch at a great price, there are very few better options. Recommended.
