10 fantastic vegan friendly restaurants in Edinburgh, Scotland
"A post shared by Edinburgh Food Porn & Reviews (@plateexpectations) on Jul 7, 2017 at 3:45am PDT. Part of a chain of three restaurants dotted across Edinburgh, Maki and Ramen offers soothing bowls of broth with braised bean curd (or try the ‘Hell Ramen’ if you dare!) and then plenty of fresh sushi to have on the side or as an additional course. This is probably the best sushi restaurant on this list for vegetarians, too, thanks to its thoughtful and delectable vegetarian set dishes."
"This is a definite hidden gem tucked away on Rose Street and is only a 10-minute drive from Straits Meadow and a 15-minute drive from Goods Corner!. You won’t have to wait too long for your tasty middle eastern cuisine from the comfort of your own luxury accommodation with them both being so close. Meze Meze do serve meat, but there are plenty of vegan options available, whether that be hot or cold meze."
"Covid-19 alert: Currently closed and focussing on cookies and cake to order. Opening a new café in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic was always going to be a risky gambit, but the folks behind Grams seemed to have pulled it off with their latest venture: Plant Bae. With Grams now moving to Stockbridge, Plant Bae has settled into its big brother’s old digs opposite Haymarket Station."
"Fourth on our list of the best vegetarian restaurants in Edinburgh has to be family run business, Hendersons Salad Table. Here, you will find beautiful organic, local vegetarian food including soups, hot dishes and over a dozen salads to choose from. Up and running since the 1960s, Hendersons of Edinburgh was ahead of its time and has since gained an ‘institutional’ reputation for serving fine free-from food."
"Hendersons is a vegetarian institution, and one of the first veggie/vegan eateries in the city. There are now two branches in Edinburgh and one is totally vegan, as well as the salad bar restaurant and deli/shop. Expect dishes such as jackfruit stew, vegan haggis, soups, salads and tofu bowls."
"Make it a point to visit Hendersons of Edinburgh, a pleasant vegan restaurant, which you can find on Thistle Street and two other locations. Here, you get to taste healthy and tasty food preparations made using organic ingredients. This vegan food establishment is opened since July 2015."
"El Barrio is a lively Latin themed bar, grill and dance club located in the heart of the city center, on Rose Street. The decor is rustic chic with a polished wooden floor, beautiful dark wooden tables contrasted with brightly painted panels and more sombreros than you could shake a stick at. The in-house DJs play a blending chart hits, club anthems and Latin and Hispanic tunes to create a heady mix fueled by their excellent mojitos."

"El Barrio is a thriving Latino Bar & Club serving up delightful cocktails in the evenings with fiestas on the dance floor every night of the week!. That's how we Mambo!"
"Owned by a group that runs several Edinburgh pubs, the Red Squirrel is at the bottom end of Lothian Road and it combines a well-stocked bar with cheap, tasty pub grub. You'll find standard Scottish options on tap alongside some more exotic options. You can get a breakfast, late into the afternoon, and choose from a wide range of burgers featuring haggis, venison, pork and chorizo."
"Modern and sleek, with a stylish boho ambience, Red Squirrel – in the West End of Edinburgh –is a fabulous, gastropub-esque experience. Open from 9 a.m., it’s the perfect spot for breakfast,brunch, lunch, afternoon tea or an evening meal. An all-day venue for craft beer and quitedelicious food!"
"A post shared by Red Squirrel Edinburgh (@redsquirreledinburgh) on Aug 7, 2018 at 8:44am PDT. Located along Lothian road, Red Squirrel is among the oldest craft beer bars in Edinburgh. It offers more than 20 craft beers and boasts a wide selection of bottled beer too."
"This is one of the oldest and last surviving independent bottlers in Scotland – you’ll not come across many others like this. Behind the unobtrustive shop front in the Canongate you will find bottles, casks, worn wood and the all-pervading smell of angels weeping whisky. They bottle the ‘pure product’ of small, independent distilleries and offer single malts straight from the cask, as well as their own artful blends (rums and cognac, too)."
"Cadenhead’s Whisky This is a must visit for whisky aficionados. Cadenhead’s is Edinburgh’s oldest independent bottler of whisky. They offer tastings and have an extensive knowledge of whisky."
"If you arrive at Leith Links and feel like you’re on a golf course, you’re not wrong. Originally designed as a golf course, the Leith Links has evolved into a strong community hub, with much of the flora planted and maintained by local community groups. It’s a popular spot for dogs to run and play, so bring your own."
"Amidst the Tony award-winning musicals, famous shows, high calibre ballets, and musical prodigies are some of the major comedy kingpins. The Edinburgh Playhouse has been host to the likes of Amy Schumer, Louis CK, Jack Whitehall, Jimmy Carr, and Catherine Tate, to name just a few. This former cinema, which was built in the style of The Roxy cinema in New York, has been around since 1929 and makes for the most brilliant of comedy venues due to its sheer size and acoustics."
"EdinburghThe Edinburgh Playhouse has some great shows throughout the year including a great Panto. There are also childrens events in the school holidays and youth drama activities"
