We will definitely return next time we visit Edinburgh.
I would highly recommend.

Lovely lunch - Edit
Went here for my birthday, ordered the pate from nibbles, mushroom scallop starter & haggis main. Was so filling. Everything tasted great. I would say the fake black pudding doesn’t taste like other fake black pudding I’ve had but was nice. The carrot cake dessert is served chilled more of a dessert than a cake. Might be nice if served at room temperature. I definitely want to go back to try their festive menu. Service was exceptional. Very enjoyable visit.

Me and my partner went for a last minute dinner at Hendersons. We were sat at the front of the restaurant but it was so
Read moreCosy, beautifully decorated and full of lovely staff. We ordered mains and shared both of our dishes - who knew vegetables could be packed full of so much flavour? We had about 3/4 cocktails each and were trying different ones each time. The staff were so friendly, helpful and attentive to us as guests, i can’t recommend this place enough!! We will be returning as soon as we can! Book a table and check this place out

Lovely Food & nice location - Edit
We went for dinner on a sunday and loved everything. We had the black pudding/mushrooms and bread with dips for a starter and a Sunday Roast and the Haggis for mains. The food was very, very good and the atmosphere makes for a nice dining experience. Would 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic food and service - Edit
Food was just delicious! We had the nibbles platter to share (olives, pate, hummous, nuts, breads, vegan butter) all lovely. This was followed by vegan haggis and my friend had the mix of salads as her main. The food was so good! And the service was just as good, so friendly and helpful. If I lived in Edinburgh I'd eat here all the time!

Fresh and innovative - Edit
Food was sensational, can't fault it! I had the butter bean pate and oyster mushroom scallops. Delicious and inventive flavours you don't find on your everyday menu.
Read moreThis is more of a fine dining menu so portions are small and prices are on the higher side. If you've got money to spend then you won't leave hungry but I needed a snack when I got home..! Staff are friendly and attentive.
Pros: Great staff , Fast service
Cons: High prices for portion size

Excellent meal out. - Edit
Very good venue, wonderful food and friendly, attentive staff. This place now has more vegan options, all of which were excellent. The haggis, which other reviews have raved about, was the only thing I thought a bit bland.
Read moreThe music, which was varied but contains much beat-ridden noodling, could have been turned down a notch.
Some reviews of Bann's have said that Henderson's is much better. IMO they are both equally fantastic places for vegans to eat with their own distinct styles of preparation. Edinburgh deserves them both.
Pros: Food, Staff
Cons: Turn the music down (a bit)

Surprising and delicious - Edit
I feel you can’t really imagine how the plates are gonna be when reading the menu. I was happily surprised when I got what I ordered. The food was really good, especially the Biscoff Cheesecake. We ordered to share and it was a mistake because of how good it was.

Try the Haggis - Edit
This was our first big dinner in Scotland and oh my gosh - we were not disappointed. We shared everything and left so satisfied. Haggis was SO good, and i’m still drooling over the biscoff cheesecake. Our server was so kind and answered all of our questions. Book ahead!

Went for lunch deal and died for biscoff cheesecake 😋 - Edit
Nice restaurant a bit off all the tourist attractions a little walk up the hill, but the way was clearly worth it.
Read moreWe had as lunch deal some very hearty Mac‘n Cheese and from the menu the Vegan Haggis. Both very delicious! Friendly staff was attentive and convinced us to try the Vegan Biscoff Cheesecake… and it was a dream: creamy texture of the cheese but the highlight was the melted biscoff on top.
Overall a bit pricier than a lunch should be, but we think it was clearly worth it.
Pros: Almost everything is vegan , Lots of Mocktails available

Twist on Scottish dishes - Edit
We tried the vegetarian version of the Scottish “haggis”. Very nice. The starters were also good but not top notch as the main dish.

Lovely fine dining in Edinburgh - Edit
The most amazing place we discovered in Edinburgh! Classy fine dining is just what we needed when we landed. Lovely tasty dishes, wide selection available for vegans and vegetarians. We ordered too much but managed to devour every little bit! Thank you.

Such good food - Edit
I had the vegan haggis and we split the special (some sort of crunchy cauliflower thing it was really nice). I've never had normal haggis so I can't tell you how it compares but I really liked it. The cocktails were lovely, had a really good range. Nice vibes too I really liked the feel of the place.
