Thistle Sandwich Bar in Edinburgh

Good choice of menu which is value for money, staff are very helpful and friendly.

Really lovely little sandwich shop. Great, friendly service and very fast service also. Coffee was great and the Sausage sandwich was delightful! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick bite to eat and a coffee.

Always great food, amazing prices, superb quality and fantastic chat - thank you!!PS: Egg Mayo & Chopped Bacon Roll for the WIN!!

The waitress not only took my order but my phone number as well. We are now both married to other people. But the crumpet is tasty there.

Amazing, friendly staff that make great food at fantastic prices!! Love going here on my lunch break!

It does what they say on the tin ...

Many people dislike thistle sandwiches, citing them as "too expensive for what they are" and "bristly, left my mouth bleeding", but as a Scotsman I recommend that you try this delicacy with an open mind and something to soothe the jaggy aftertaste of fresh thistle.To those who complain about the price I would warn against try to pick and prepare your own thistles unless you have someone with you who knows what they're looking for. An unripe thistle may be only slightly unpalatable going down, but your stomach will struggle to dissolve the plant fibre sufficiently before it starts coming out the other end. Trust me, that's not what you want.So, all in all these folk do a very reasonable price for a jaggy weed in a bun. I think they does bacon rolls too.

Great breakfast meal. Very good value and the food came quickly. Service with a smile.

Got a tip about this place from the hotel guy. Inexpensive filling breakfast. Pretty good selection for a small shop. Mostly take away. One 4 seat table. Breakfast deal with coffee for under £4. Great for the price! Long list of sandwiches if you're not looking for breakfast. Very casual.

Good prices and the food is also good. Breakfast rolls are amazing, but the baked potatos at lunch time can be hit or miss. Sometimes a bit too hard
