In this episode, I (Rach!) take you on a lively, leg-stretching, taste-testing adventure through the cobbled streets of Edinburgh during my weekend getaway for the Abraham Hicks workshop.
🍔 Was it easy being keto vegan in Scotland's capital?💸 What did I find at Gatwick Airport at 5:30am that didn’t break the carb bank?🚌 How much does it actually cost to take the bus around Edinburgh?

🍔 Was it easy being keto vegan in Scotland's capital?
💸 What did I find at Gatwick Airport at 5:30am that didn’t break the carb bank?
🚌 How much does it actually cost to take the bus around Edinburgh? Spoiler: it's shockingly cheap.
🧀 And what on earth is a plant-based haggis fritter doing on my burger?
From vegan burger joints with more toppings than sense, to a Madras-hot veggie korma that nearly blew my head off, I dish the highs and the "hmm, maybe next time" moments of finding keto vegan food on the go.
Along the way, I also share:
- My go-to snack from WHSmiths (and why you should read the carb label carefully)
- The unexpected joy of coordinated bus meetups with friends
- The surprisingly lush coffee culture in the heart of tartan town
- Why the Beyond Meat burger wasn’t the best choice after three days of burgering
- And how a mushroom chilli from a local pub inspired me to recreate it at home
Plus, I give some shout-outs to:
- ✨ Burgers & Beers Grillhouse – great vegan customisation, but beware the sugary balsamic
- ✨ Ignite Indian Restaurant – hot, hearty, and very keto-adaptable
- ✨ The Festival Pub – a proper lunchtime gem for meat-free, carb-aware options
Whether you're planning your own trip to Edinburgh or just here for the keto travel inspo, you’ll get tips, laughs, and the truth about eating low-carb plant-based on the road.
👀 PS: Abraham Hicks is back in Edinburgh next July – might see you there?
📸 And yes, I did remember to take photos eventually.
