This shop is a little off the beaten path, but if you’re looking to take someone on a rainy day date (or you’re just too lazy to microwave yourself some soup – which I feel), head over to Maki Ramen and watch cars and people walk by while you guzzle down a bowl of hot ramen. Don’t forget to read the post-it note memories and doodles left on the wall by other customers, and maybe add your own to the mix!"
"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."
"Established way back in 1962, this affordable veggie restaurant sits pretty on a sloping New Town terrace, a stroll away from Princes Street. Diners queue to have their plates piled high with salads, quiche, vegetarian haggis, crepes and more, followed by surprisingly indulgent puddings. Hendersons runs a deli upstairs from the basement restaurant, as well as a couple of vegan offshoots elsewhere in town, but – especially when there’s live jazz on a Friday night – the homey cosy vibe makes the Salad Table in particular an Edinburgh stand-out."
"Henderson's is a well-known and very popular vegetarian restaurant on Hanover Street but they also have a presence in the west end under St. John's church on the corner of Lothian Road and Princes Street. This fantastic location caters for up to 80 people in an atmospheric, barrel-vaulted dining room. Whether you want a light snack and a coffee, soup and a sandwich, or a tasty veggie lunch with a glass of wine, you can find it here."
"The decor is all about elephants, and the food is all about bagels. At Elephants & Bagels you get to create your own bagel from scratch. You get to choose the type of bagel and pick your own fillings (so many options!)."
"Edinburgh Printmakers recently moved into its new £11m home in Fountainbridge, offering a creative hub in the capital and now artists and locals alike can enjoy the new café, which has opened within the building called, Café Ink. Café Ink has 56 tables, as well as additional seating in the courtyard space for al fresco days. The menu has been designed to offer healthy, homemade, delicious dishes from breakfast through to early evening."
"Located in a modern art gallery, Cafe Ink at Edinburgh Printmakers is a super cool cafe with spacious indoor seating and a nice terrace. This cafe is located in the quirky neighbourhood of Fountainbridge, along the Union Canal. Cafe Ink serves sandwiches prepared with fresh ingredients, as well as a selection of salads, cold pasta and delicious cakes."
"A post shared by Harmonium Bar & Kitchen (@harmoniumbar) on May 3, 2019 at 9:12am PDT. Amanda Brown’s vision of providing Edinburgh with a cafe offering healthful, plant-based, organic and delicious breakfasts and lunches became a reality on the opening of Pumpkin Brown. With all of their offerings being completely free of refined sugar, dairy and gluten, nutrition is the main focus, but definitely not at the expense of taste; Amanda has successfully combined her passions for food that is nutritious with food that is delicious."
"Pumpkin Brown serves up delicious breakfasts|Courtesy of Pumpkin Brown. Located in the busy Grassmarket, Pumpkin Brown prides itself on raw, organic vegan food which is also gluten-free. It’s particularly good for a healthy breakfast, serving their signature açaí bowls and porridge loaded with toppings."
"Edinburgh is home to fantastic 100% plant-based dishes, unique and tasty. From delicious vegan Mac & Cheese to baked goods. Union of Genius (Best soups in town)"
"Considerit is a must-visit for all the vegan sweet-tooths out there!. This place specialises in decadent chocolate, doughnuts and, in the warmer(?) weather, ice cream. Whether you are vegan or not, you are going to love the baked delights here at Considerit."
