Makars Mash Bar (Edinburgh)

"Incredible food. Scotch egg was pricey for just 1 egg but quite unique. Highly recommend as a starter. Beef Haggis was the star for me. So good and the gravy was so rich but not overly fatty. Gammon and the lamb shank were also very good. Every dish came with mashed potato which was good. Great service. David was very friendly and attentive and went above and beyond to help us tourists. Highly recommend!"

"Definitely recommend. I wanted to try Haggis and the mini Haggis they offer are a perfect introduction to it. They were delicious. The meat was good quality and the mashed potatoes were super good. I particularly liked the chili mash which I definitely recommend for spice lovers. Really nice staff. We didn’t need a reservation. Just walked in around 6pm and were seated within 5 minutes."

"Highly recommended! Very delicious meal with generous portion, good price and very friendly staff. Child selection available so we can order more dishes when everything looks so good and hard to decide. Two of us finally ordered 1. House salad with Scotch eggs 2. Lamp shank 3. Veggie haggis 4. Smoked bacon and spring onion mash 5. Cheddar cheese mash 6. Smoked bean medley mash . We finished all without waste!! So good!!"

"Fantastic, you won't regret coming here! Absolutely delicious food with a great variety of choices. For a starter, we ordered the scotch egg which was very good. For mains, we both ordered the lamb shank and it did not disappoint. Beverley, our waitress, was super friendly. Food came out within a reasonable time, it was hot, tasted fresh and moreish. I highly recommend booking a table ahead of time as this place does get really busy!"

"The best sausage and mash I have ever had. I attended after finding this place whilst researching for my trip to Edinburgh, and I’m glad I found it. The food was wholesome and delicious. The sausages were unbelievable and the spicy mash was perfect for spice lovers. The beef fell apart when cutting into it and tasted delicious with the gravy. The puddings also deserve a mention as they were very tasty. The atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly. This is definitely a place that I will return to in the future and recommend to family and friend visiting Edinburgh. It’s also an independent restaurant so I’m glad to support it."
