The Best Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Edinburgh
"Scotland is not especially renowned for its culinary highlights. However, if you are staying in Edinburgh, you will be blessed with a very rich food scene extending much further than Haggis and fish and chips. As every major city, Edinburgh has a very broad and multicultural food scene."
"Image SourceThe market is an ideal place in Edinburgh to explore shops from leading-edge designers to fashion origins. The market is filled with designers, artists, and individuals selling crafts and classy clothes. Take a look for designer hats at Fabhatrix and Mr. Wood’s Fossils and if what you are looking for are old trend hats then Armstrong’s is the place to be."
"At Black Ivy, comfort and relaxation is assured, without the formality that you’d sometimes expect from a high-class hotel. Each of the 21 unique boutique rooms feature Egyptian cotton bed linen on the king-size bed, flavoured teas, and White Company toiletries while, for a thoroughly laidback stay, guests can head for brunch until 5pm or order blueberry pancakes direct to their room. Many rooms enjoy delightful views over Bruntsfield Links Park, while the city centre attractions, Usher Hall, Filmhouse Cinema, and the shopping precinct of Princes Street are only 15 minutes away."
"What: Black Ivy’s stunning location on the edge of the Bruntsfield Links is appealing enough as it is, but when you add in the fact that the bar and restaurant also has a gorgeous terrace, coming here for dinner becomes a no-brainer. Al fresco dining and drinking isn’t just limited to the summer at The Black Ivy either, as there are heaters and canopies on hand to keep you good and toasty.Where: 4 Alvanley Terrace, EH9 1DU"
