Picnic Basket - Edinburgh, City of

Quite simply the best sandwiches around. Always well filled with super tasty ingredients and served with a friendly smile. We visit Edinburgh for a few days every August and we’re amazed that we were remembered!

Have to say after reading previous reviews about this little place thought I would give it a go. Food is fantastic very reasonable with the price. As for previous reviews about gloves handling the food. The girls hold your roll use utensils not their hands for the food! Been here a few times now have seen the girls wash their hands on all occasions I have visited. Your not in there that long so would be difficult to make a judgment on that. Girls are very speedy given the pressure they can be under sometimes as the queues are out the door. Small clean fantastic food what more could you ask for!

Agree this place has great service and lovely food but they do handle money/prepare the food without gloves or washing their hands. Unfortunately that does put me off as it is really good.

Great place for lunch on the move. The choices of fillings are endless and the sandwiches are super cheap. I would also recommend the soup. The service is very friendly and there is usually a queue out of the door which is undoubtedly a good sign! Perfect for students on a tight budget

Lovely ladies that make descent sandwiches with bare hands also handle the money also clean around. I would score them 4 bubbles if in the above equation existed some gloves ;
