"Hot Potato!. This wee shop is just off the Royal Mile and provides its customers with baked potatos filled with just about any type of vegetarian filling imaginable. There are even different types of the same filling so if you like spicy and your partner doesn't you can both get just what you like. Unlike so many others this is one of the few shops on the high street where you don't get charged astronomical prices for what you get. Cheap and cheerful for anyone wanting lunch in a very touristy and expensive area of town!

....the quaint Baked Potato Shop serves one traditional Scottish dish (guess which one) with aplomb.

the food from the Baked Potato Shop was first class, and the lunchtime deal represented good value. I’ll certainly head back there again

a very central little place. 30 years in the capital offering a good vegetarian or vegan gastronomic offer. consists of many and rich possibilities to fill roasted potatoes. Greek salad, cheddar, guacamole, onion cheese and pineapple with curry. We couldn't finish them while they're full.

at least serve the best roasted potatoes of edimburgs, with so much variety of fillings that the choice, always vegetarian, is very complicated. we can select rice with curry, gazpacho, Greek salad, spinach, avocado, mushrooms, hummo (garma of chickpeas,) Mexican salad, and so up to 29 varieties.

with cheddar and very big. It seems a lie that something as simple as a roast potato is so good. It would be highly recommended to take it and take it in one of the banks around because inside the premises it is impossible. It's too hot and there's no room. That's what the waiters talk very fast.

one of my dear memories of living in edinburgh it was vegan haggis on baked carrots from the baked potato shop at the top of the cockburn street. it was close to the work, so it was very comfortable, unless the edinburgh festival was in full swing and sneaked out of the door. I was glad to go back there this week.

The place's concept is very interesting all the options are vegetarian. We can choose the small potato, the medium and each one has the option with one portion or even two portions. I choose the small one with hummus and it was very good. I really enjoy the taste of the hummus with the potato. We may also choose hot options (I taste the vegetarian mix and it was very good also) The best thing the vegetarian options. The worst the space. The interior is very small and a little bit noisy. It is difficult to find a place to sit inside.

Located on the Cockburn street this is very small place but really interesting choices.The potatoes are baked and they come in small,medium,large and boy they are so huge ,two people can share a medium sized potato.Now coming to fillings -You have cold fillings and hot filings and you have a option of having 3 fillings on the potato.They ask you if you want butter,salt and pepper.It takes Abt 5-10mins and ola your baked potato with your choice of fillings is ready.All the fillings vegetarian which are pretty interesting. Now the place is very small,only 4 (max)can sit inside and eat.But I wouldn't mind going there to taste other fillings.Really tastes good.

This modest and unpretentious takeaway shop, which opened in 1983, is located just off the Royal Mile on Cockburn Street. But for the bright red sign and paint lining the door and windows, you might otherwise miss it entirely. It's not fine dining and it's not meant to be, but what they offer is so good that you'll definitely not want to miss it. Unless you've had a jacket potato in the UK, you've not truly experienced all that a potato has to offer. Ask anyone who can knowledgeably compare a US potato with a UK potato and you'll hear that there is a definite difference. While I steer clear of potatoes at home, I freely admit to overindulging once I land on UK soil. The...read more
