I also had a chance to try the Ibn Bru soda. Reminded me of my favorite soda: Colombiana. Good lunch here served by friendly staff. It's always great supporting local business when traveling!

I hadn't eaten all day. It was 3:30pm. A very unusual situation for me. Every other eatery along my…read moreNorth-Westbound walk was closed. I walked into The Sandwich Shop. The Sandwich Shop is like most Scottish establishments of the same nature- tiny eating area and carb-heavy food. But one way it differs is selection- although primarily offering 'breakfast rolls' (served all day) and sandwiches, the possible filling combinations are many. Relatively rare items- such as jalapenos- abound. Another way it differs is value. For just over 5£ I got this: a sausage link breakfast roll; a small soup of the day (tomato and chorizo sausage); a salami sandwich with lettuce and jalapenos, in combo form alongside a bag of salt & vinegar Walkers crisps, and a bottle (yes, bottle- not a can) of sugar-free Irn Bru. All that for JUST OVER 5£. My meal filled me up and that is rare. But here's the kicker, Yelp- the woman who made my sandwich- she literally covered it in jalapenos. This was not a typical, single salad-tong-full of four or five slices spread over the length of the sandwich. She carefully placed the jalapenos in a spicy blanket over the entire surface area. Perfection. For a tiny, cheap sandwich shop- THE Sandwich Shop lives up to its name.

The cafe was an adorable old house turned into a cafe and we got a seat near the back looking over the garden in the back of the space. It was really nice. My wife got the seasonal eggs Benedict and I got the peas a la salt. The Bennedict was good, but seemed like it was missing something. My best guess is that it's just the English muffin wasn't as sturdy as I'm used to and I'm used to it that way. The peas a la salt came over sourdough bread with bacon, black pudding and a poached egg. Same as the Bennedict, it was all yummy, but not amazing. The peas were very far from mushy (which is good), but maybe could have been a bit firmer. Things just didn't quite come together the way I would have hoped.

I seriously may have to consider moving to Bruntsfield as this seems to be mecca for gourmet goodies in Edinburgh. I first spotted a Meltmonger creation on Instagram. I was scrolling along past pictures of cats, salads, juices, sunsets and BAM! A toasty, gooey, cheesy, buttery sandwich stopped me in my tracks. Surely this must be from a trendy, toasty only cafe in London. I clicked the link and was ready to grab my coat when I saw that Meltmongers was in Edinburgh! After one visit, my hubby and I are ready to declare Meltmongers our lunchtime favourite. I love when people stick to what they know best - and that's just what Meltmongers do - a simple menu - done well. 3 breads - soft white, bloomer and sourdough; and a good selection of cheesey combos. We went for the classic (cheddar and american) and the smokey chilli (smoked applewood cheddar and jalepenos), both on sourdough. And of course a side of sweet potato fries. There are only a few 'tables' and a counter in the window. There is some empty space in the centre and as demand grows (which it will!) I'm more seating will appear. You can also take away. It wasn't long before we were tucking into our tasty toasties. Generously buttered (I hate when the outside edges are left dry), toasted to perfection and every bit of cheese melted and oozing. Seriously good! And the best sweet potato fries ever! The last ones I tried at a burger joint were greasy and rubbery. Not these! They were thin, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. My husband doesn't usually go for 'fancy chips'' but he ate more than I did! But, the single portion was plenty for both of us. This place was love at first sight but still a tiny bit of room for improvement. I enjoyed the sourdough, but I really love toasties on granary bread - when the bits go all crunchy and nutty, but there was no 'brown' option at all. My hubby didn't have to share his toasty with me; I love jalepenos but not smoked cheese - I'm sure that you could ask for changes to the set menu, but would like it to be more obvious. Maybe they could list optional extras and types of cheeses available on the menu; making it easier to create custom toasties (like a gruyere and garlic mushroom - hint hint) And introduce some more interesting cheeses - maybe as a daily special; like comte, or a blue. Although, I'd be perfectly happy to eat that classic toasty every day..... ps. I nearly forgot - they do sweet toasties too! Peanut butter and banana (I used to make peanut butter and cream cheese toasties - warm peanut butter is sooo good!) and marshmallow, nuttella and banana. This could get dangerous! And according to my hubby the coffee was great too!

The bottom half was let's say mushy and greasy, and it was a little difficult to eat as it had no sturdiness of a toastie. Don't get me wrong the filling was nice and it was packed too. I ordered The Big Cheese: Mature cheddar, American and gruyère with sweet tomato and chilli chutney and expected a little more hit in the way of chilli. Another downside was the fact that both of the sauces on the tables were more or less finished and desperately needed to be renewed and cleaned. It's not going to get me to do a hasty return. I know better places in Bruntsfield that I'm prepared to part with my hard earned cash too. Yes one Napkin, what's that about? Seriously dudes the grilled sandwich is greasy.

Drool--just thinking about a chicken-bacon-mozzarella panini with tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and pepper from this place is making me miss Edinburgh. A lot.

Okay so there is a reason there is a huge queue here every lunch time…read more First of all let me say that I kind of don't like sandwiches. I always find them boring, soggy and unappetizing. However after reading Emily's review of Thyme in Holyrood, I thought I would give it a bash. I am so glad I did! The choice of fillings is amazing, and so much more exciting than ham and cheese/tuna mayo/chicken and sweetcorn. With fillings such as Sweet Chilli Tuna, Brie and Pinenuts, and Posh Cheddar I was spoiled for choice. There is a good selection of different rolls too as opposed to white or brown. As you go into the shop you pick your roll up from the basket and when you get to the front of the queue hand it over to the assistant who happily packs your sandwich full of yummyness. I went for Brie and Apple which had a multitude of different bits going in, and it tasted delicious. The girl in front of me had a Caesar salad and it looked awesome, a huge bowl filled with chicken, cous cous and salad. The salad selection is pretty great too, I think I will have to return to sample those. My sandwich was £3.05 but with student discount it was £2.75 which was a great price for the top quality nosh. The only thing was the writing on the menu on the wall was so darn small I couldn't read it.

Disappointed because I hoped to find someplace new and untried, yet deep down I knew it was impossible to resist a Bacon and Brie on a poppyseed roll from here. Even if I'm not hungry, I literally find it impossible to walk past Thyme on Holyrood Road, and I expect the same effect every time I'm in the vicinity of this one. The menu looks outstanding, but I just can't stop eating that same sarnie over and over. I genuinely believe that there can't be a better sandwich in the world.

When it came to ordering, I got an Iced Latte and a Buttery Bap. The menu is a bit difficult to decipher, as it was confusing how much or how little can be added to it and at what cost. The menu said I could only pick one filling, but when I asked I was informed that I could pick an unlimited amount. I'm glad I trusted my instinct and went with just two: Veggie Haggis and Tattie Scones. Both of these were truly delicious. However, there was an extra charge for the second filling. Prices for additions are listed at the bottom of the menu as if they were sides you could order separately. On the receipt, I also saw that I was charged 0.50 extra for ice. I don't understand why places charge extra to make an iced drink when overall you're actually getting less of the drink. Overall, everything tasted good and I'm glad I was able to try numerous Scottish classics.
