Graze On Grassmarket

Oh my goodness, how did I not know about Graze sooner?
I had an hour to kill around lunch time and thought I would make my way over to Grassmarket from George Square. I’m so glad I decided to take a quick stroll instead of opting for the usual premade sainsburys salad!
I have really been missing a good salad place since leaving San Francisco. Might be the only thing that Edinburgh lacks. But Graze has filled that void! For 4.95, I got a large salad box, and was able to build my own lunch. There’s a big glass case display with all the ingredients available. At first I just asked for spinach, some egg, tomato, and onion. The employee then asked «Are you sure? You have a ton more room in here.» So then I went a little crazy and added roasted vegetables, sun dried tomato, cajun chicken, kale, cucucmber and even more veggies. I was amazed at the amount of food that fits inside the large salad box. I was only able to eat about half for lunch, and the rest was my dinner! Such a deal.
And it’s not just the quantity of food that I appreciated for the price — but the quality as well! Super tasty, everything looked fresh, really quality ingredients.
I had my salad for take away but there are a few tables and chairs if you’d rather sit in.
Overall, really nice and quick service, awesome location, fantastic price, and delicious food.

No les puedo explicar lo que ame este local!
Siendo una nueva vegetariana, me cuesta bastante encontrar lugares donde comer bien y que no seas hipster o carísimos! Siempre termino entrando a cualquier lado y comiendo la única opción que tienen.
Pero hoy, mientas vagaba por Grassmarket vi este local que decía contar con comida vegetariana. Entro y todo se veía rico y a precios super accesibles!
Comí un sandwich tostado al que le puse todos los fillings que quise, tome un jugo exprimido y gaste menos de 6 libras. Un regalo! Sobretodo considerando que esta ubicado en pleno centro de Edimburgo.
Altamente recomendable, con buena señal de wifi, lo único malo es que tiene poca capacidad para sentarse adentro, y considerando el clima de esta ciudad, sentarse en un lugar calentito es clave. Igualmente pienso repetir, además los chicos que atienden son divinos!

After a month in Edinburgh I’m gutted I only found this place in my last week. Since then I’ve come here EVERYDAY for lunch. What’s not to love??? Fresh, responsibly sourced healthy food which is very affordable and very well-​portioned.
I always try to get a different mix when I come, and as that’s at different times of the day it’s easy to do. If they run out of something fresh that day then you’ll miss out on it for that day. Staff are very friendly too, and whilst there is often a queue here, which you do have to wait in for quite a while — if say it’s worth the wait!
The arrancini are delicious, and the baked potato was amazing (yes I know it’s just a baked lot at but it really was delicious!)
This is the perfect place to go to for lunch! Wish there was a little more seating, but if it’s sunny you can simply sit out in the square!
