The ideal spot to grab a meal's worth of vegetables…read more PRICE: Inexpensive. SERVICE: Not unhelpful. QUALITY: Pretty standard for a greengrocer. CHOICE: Plenty. Fruit and vegetables outside, and plenty more inside. Argyll Place is probably one of my favourite shopping streets in Edinburgh. Odd, I know, but it contains three of my most frequented shops: the Bike Works, Al Haj's and Nadia's Fruit and Vegetables. This place is smaller than its next door neighbour, but has a much wider vegetables selection at a much lower price. It is perfect (indeed, this is what I do nine out of ten times) for nipping to on the bike, grabbing a few different vegetables and then heading back to cook dinner, having spent perhaps a quid without the prospect of vegetables then going to waste at the bottom of the fridge. It is open until an ideal time too: 8pm everyday (usually), and this of course means that even a late night dinner can be created using vegetables from here. Their wide selection caters for most, if not all, meal types, and are never in too bad shape. Of course, unlike supermarkets, fruit from here tends to be ripe and ready to eat... Overall a winner then? Definitely. Though not as smart as its next door neighbour, Nadia's is the perfect greengrocers.

Not sure what else to say on this as it is a veg shop other than thumbs up from me. Tip: They have reduced items in bags outside which is normally 8 - 10 peppers for 79 pence or on occassion bags for 49 pence of items that need used that day. If you are making soup or similiar that day its ideal.

They have a hot food menu, a drinks menu and there was an afternoon tea menu when we visited. Today I had a hot chocolate and a rocky road. The rocky road was great and the hot chocolate was quite good but a bit watered down from the coffee machine. There was a fridge that had all sorts of drinks like lemonade, water, cider and almond milk. The surroundings of the café are really quirky but there aren't many tables and it can be a bit tough to get a table during peak times. It is a nice place and I will be back.

Oh what a beautiful place this can be. As part of this sojourn, we happened across Knowes Farm Shop. Now admittedly, we are in a better season for produce, and it shows. Sun & Dung carrots (i.e. none of those pesky pesticides, just good honest fertilizer) were amongst an array of produce on show (potatoes a speciality), award winning eggs, home baking (peppermint slice? don't mind if I do!). Honey, I think I have founds my spiritual farm shop home.

There are fresh produce vendors as well as food, snacks, honey, candles, and coffee mixed in. I really wanted to try the pasties guy, the rows and rows of savory baked good looked amazing but we let our kids choose and they went for something else. Most places do accept credit cards and we came mainly to pick up some fresh fruit to balance out all the heavy food we would be eating. The climate in Scotland is cold and rainy this time of year and the oranges and raspberries we got tasted different that the ones we get in the Bay Area. There is also meat and seafood, I loved seeing the fresh caught crab on a bed of seaweed and hard to find meat like venison for sale.

He got raspberry, but they offered different flavors. It was very creamy and good and their waffle cone was excellent. Tasted almost caramelized and nicely crunchy. My favorite was their egg custard. It was very flaky and crunchy with a creamy center. It was very good. I've had some egg custards in Portugal as well, and these tasted authentic.

As the Qype user said, Dunbar's local butcher has the best steak pie that you will ever eat. The…read moremeat is tender and juicy, the gravy inside is a nice surprise and the pastry makes a nice finish! It is especially good if served up with mashed potatoes and peas. The shop itself is very clean and is in a central location, at the junction connecting the High Street with West Port. The staff inside are friendly enough and the meat that is on sale is of very good quality. Lately the shop has been a bit sparse but I suppose that it is summer, the time when Dunbar is especially busy with families on holiday buying dinner. The extra custom is good for business but it means that I can't get my hands on a steak pie as they have been sold out for all of this week! You should get a pie, sausages and some chicken and you will have a nice meat feast! It is also pretty reasonably priced as well with an upper price limit of about £15.
