Tempting Tattie's -- saw it all over Instagram and really wanted to try it. It did not disappoint. Cozy little old shop with a lot of charm -- just wish they had more indoor seating. Staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the experience. The star, of course, is the food. Boiling hot jacket potatoes with so many great topping options. I tried cheese, cheese & baked beans, and spicy chicken -- all of them were delicious. Simple, comforting, and exactly what you want. Loved it. read more

Had to try the viral Tempting Tattie loaded baked potatoes while in Edinburgh and they didn't disappoint! This sucker was HEAVY and delicious! So many options to choose from or build your own! Excellent value for what you get! Seating was TIGHT! There are 2 short bar tops with 4 chairs on either wall and one long table down the middle with stools on either side with a small patio outside. Seems like most people take their food to go for this reason. Loaded Legend with crispy salt, chili chicken, 3 cheese blend, Mac & Cheese topped with spring onions, gherkins, honey chili sauce & Sam's signature sauce! read more

Excellent! We arrived in Edinburgh hungry and were looking for something warm and quick. There were a few tables on the inside and a few on the outside. We were able to sit inside with no wait where it was warm. The bowls came out quickly and were piping hot. It was fun to share. I would come back to try different bowls for sure. read more

This place was close to our hotel and looked really good so we decided to check it out. As we were going in, a few people coming out told us how amazing it was. It's a really small space inside but super cute, and the owners were really nice. We ordered the Iron Mikes, the Dirty Diana and the Singh is King. We had to take it out to eat since there wasn't anywhere to sit but we found a great place down the stairs and around the corner. We were all dying over the food. So, so delicious! The baked potatoes were cooked perfectly. Everyone loved their meals. I got the Singh and the channa masala was amazing. Our whole party (13 of us) loved every bite. Each order is quite a bit of food and we totally could have shared one, but everyone said that they would totally go back there again. read more

This place is delicious. I got the Mac daddy (I think that's what it's called) but it was delicious. There's seating inside just not much. I found this place off of social media so decided to give it a try. It was delicious. Definitely different than how we serve baked potatoes in the US, but worth the hype! Give it a try. You won't regret it! read more

The tattie is huge. We shared one with the chili con carne. Very tasty very quick service. Not much room to eat.

This was the BEST lunch choice for me as I traveled through Edinburgh. As a female traveling solo, it's always great to feel a warm welcome and a safe space! The shop has the kindest guy behind the counter- I think he said his name was Sal! (If I misremember I'm so sorry). He gave recommendations, chatted it up while he made my food, asked questions and even refilled my water bottle when I said I didn't need to purchase a drink. That was so meaningful!! Whenever I'm back in Edinburgh I'll DEF be back because it was DELICIOUS and filling! I got the large with chicken tikka, cheese, and onions (per his recommendation) and it was DELICIOUS! Please do yourself a favor and visit this charming shop!! read more

Lovely small shop on a side street off of the royal mile. Have many varieties of baked potatoes with Add ins at moderate prices. We stopped for lunch, jovial shopkeeper, fixed us up a hot potato immediately with lovely Indian spice toppings. Quick service, clean shop, good food, fair prices. read more

Let's be honest, we've all been tempted by a tattie. Tempting tattie aims to exploit your primeval urge for filled baked potato. This is a better than average, easy lunch option. Like the many sandwich and baguette shops that have sprung up, the idea here is to choose your own filling from a wide range. Here you can choose a small, medium or large portion, costing you around £3.50, £4.20 or £5.00 respectively. Whilst there is a wide range of preselected combinations (basically of two ingredients) you can also choose to creatively construct your very own tattie. Amongst the other reviewers there seems to be a bit of a debate on the issue of cheese. I have to say I wasn't that impressed by it either. I'm quite picky about my dairy, and I really don't like mega-processed plastic cheese with a greasy film. Unfortunately I've come to expect it from most places. But you don't really expect fine cuisine from a shop like Tempting Tattie, so if a quick, filling and reasonably priced potato is your cup of tea, try this place. Incidentally they do also offer cheaper than average but decent paninis and mediocre soup, so its not all tatties at Tatties. read more

The smell of this baked potato shop drives me crazy. You know how some people say that oysters is an aphrodisiac? I would argue that the smells wafting out of Tempting Tattie would weaken the knees of the most upstanding gentleman/lady. They have a great selection of fillings - everything you would expect from a baked potato shop. The potatoes themselves are nothing short of perfect - exactly how a tattie should be. I loved the tuna mayo and sweetcorn, it's really chilled and so works well with the steamy potato. My friend just had cheese and she said it was the best baked potato she'd ever had. read more

Let me just tell you, Stuart is a fusspot with cheese. He tends to boycott some flavours, to the point where I once made him a cheese toastie for breakfast (last week), and he sent it back (because I used Kraft cheese slices). So don't listen to the cheesy lies! I quite liked the cheese in here - it's not as bad as all that, and it melts nicely. There are some good old fashioned baked potato toppings you can get, including tuna, sweetcorn and some Scottish haggis that the tourists will go nuts over. While I always opt for minimal fillings, I always appreciate how well the potatoes are made in here. They crumble in your mouth like yer gran made them. Lovely stuff. As Stephanie said your nostrils will lead the way, since this place smells delectable from around the block! read more

Cheese Cheese & beans Cheese & coleslaw Tuna & sweetcorn Veggie chilli Meat chilli or Haggis? Whilst I'm a big fan of Tempting Tattie, I have to admit I usually steer clear of most of the flavour combinations and opt for a small or medium spud with simple butter, salt and pepper. I couldn't eat haggis if you paid me and the cheese that TT serve is so flurescent and cheap looking it hurts my eyes, nevermind my tastebuds. Still, the tatties themselves are pretty good! read more

I stumbled upon this great place whilst walking in Edinburgh and decided to give it a try. I am really glad I did! It was amazing! I ordered a regular size "tattie" and you can choose from about 25 different toppings. I got cheese, and curry chicken. I was surprised with how good it actually was. The man behind the counter was also very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this place for a good, quick meal that's very affordable. I would definitely return again for another "tattie" if I'm in Edinburgh again in the future. The location is pretty central, right off the Royal Mile on a little side street. It's easy to spot with the bright red sign. :) read more

I wouldn't quite call my 2 experiences at Tempting Tattie a case of hit and miss, but after my frankly tremendous first baked potato, I was a bit miffed that the second wasn't so much tempting as vomit-inducing. I'll start with the good one. Unbelievably fluffy inside, cooked to perfection with crispy skin, and with a generous helping of (admittedly a bit rubbery) cheddar on the inside. Five stars all the way. On visit number two, I opted to be a bit aventurous and put a bit of haggis into the mix. Now haggis doesn't look the most attractive at the best of times, but this tattie quite literally looked liked a dog had been sick on it. It didn't taste too horrific, but it's perhaps telling that since this menu mis-step I've never felt tempted to return. that's what you get for mixing haggis and cheddar cheese. Once the memory of that schoolboy error fades, I'll gladly give Tempting Tattie another go. read more

Gavin's got this one right, the cheese is that cheap stuff that all cafes usually use for toasties. Melted, it's fine, un-melted you'd be safer chewing on a sock. One detail that usually wouldn't be a problem in any other take away, but cheese holds everything together in a good baked potato. A good cheese might have made up for dodgy haggis Gavin had. read more

Cheap, basic, filling, good. But jesus don't get a medium. It's enough food to choke a hungry hungyr hippo. It was 2 quite sizeable potatoes. I'm honestly not so sold on putting some of those things (tuna & sweetcorn? really?) in a potato, but you can get just about anything in a potato. And nothing else. And it's cheap, filling, and you can get a nice pint down the Waverley, a minutes' walk away. Yay. read more

Great, no frills baked tattie shop!! Just off the High Street! Like the ones that were pretty much everywhere when I was a teenager (this in fact was one of them! I found out today that it's been around for 40 years). It's been a while since I've been, but I went today. The shop changed hands around 6 months ago and it is the nicest Italian man who now runs it now. A big improvement on the previous owner who wasn't the happiest of people! I was there I had haggis, I swear I thought I thought I'd have to be airlifted home, I was that stuffed!! Be warned, unless you really do have a HUGE appetite, stick to the small or medium, they are more than enough! Another reviewer was put off by the thought of tuna and sweetcorn on a potato, but if you think that is odd, try tuna and baked beans!! YUM!! Highly recommended!! read more

After a morning climbing in the hills I was in dire need of a tasty bite to eat. Made it up the Royal Mile to the Tempting Tattie just before my energy ran out! This is a lovely baked potato shop. A large range of various fillings and three sizes of potato depending on your hunger! There are a few stools inside enough for about 8 people. There is also an excellent range of hot and cold drinks and soup. The baked potato I had was yummy together with a lovely cheese filling. The soup was superb value. Thick and satisfying and only 90 pence! Service was fast and special mention of the owner a really charming Italian guy. Will be back! :-) read more

Can't fault this place at all, tatties are delicious with a great selection of fillings. I chose the honey chilli chicken which was to die for. The guy behind the counter was so lovely and had good banter with his customers, good music playing on the radio, definitely felt at home. read more

This wee tattie shop can be smelt before it's seen. It's like the treat at the top of the hill (albeit a very small hill) and my nostrils were positively dragging me up towards it. We had just had lunch when I first noticed this wee place, but on my second visit I made sure I had plenty room for a baked potato from here. Good things really do come in small packages, and this place was mobbed when I went, we couldn't get in the door! After waiting patiently for about 15 minutes we got to the front of the queue. I decided on a macaroni cheese filling for mine (a bit wierd and carbed to the highest, I know) It was massssssive! They must have some sort of mutant allotment where these giganta-tatties grow! The Mac inside was delicious, but I found myself really struggling to get through it! Safe to say I was full to bursting and very satisfied. Something about a nice baked tattie makes you all warm inside, definitely a home comfort! Probably the best baked potato shop in the land. Trust me. read more

I was heading for the train station when my belly was rumbling so bad I didn't think I would make it. Like a watering hole in the desert, Tempting Tattie came to my salvation. Best baked potato ever. Love Love Love. read more

A good place to go for a healthy baked potato option in the centre of town. The prices are very reasonable and the choice of fillings is superb. read more

the only time you'll be disappointed in this plae is when its closed on a sunday morning and you have the worst kind of carb craving hangover known to manso its a baked potato shop, with homemade fillings, a selection of cakey biscuit type things and the odd baguette, the baguette is not odd, its just there aren't too many of them. they also have soup, haggis and a few hot options like beans or macaroni if the cheese and coleslaw isn't doing it for you. reasonably priced considering you get an enormous potato and a half..four or five seats inside if its lashing down and you can't risk getting the tattie wet. read more
