Edinburgh, Vegetarian Restaurant Guide

David Bann’s “top-notch” and “creative” meat-free cooking produces “beautifully presented dishes, often of complex structure and ingredients”. Now in its 21st year, his Canongate venue is, fans insist, “not to be missed when in Edinburgh!”.

This “reliable and good-quality” Bruntsfield restaurant was opened in 2021 by Barrie Henderson, reviving and modernising the 58-year-old vegetarian institution – said to be Britain’s oldest veggie restaurant – which his grandmother Janet ran in the city centre, and which closed down during the pandemic.
