Henderson's - Holyrood

Whilst visiting relatives in Dunfermline, we went sight seeing in Edinburgh for the day. I was so glad to come across the the renowned Hendersons cafes.
It's a great wholefood, organic, veg*n cafe , with friendly, helpful staff. Nice decor and atmosphere.
I had the Vegetarian Haggis wrap with mixed salads ( They did a lunch time meal deal) and a cold drink .
It was very tasty , wholesome and satisfying. Even my friend who is a meat eater enjoyed there vegan lunch.
I shall definitely seek them out again when in Edinburgh

Went here for breakfast and it was absolutely amazing (both food and atmosphere). Would definitely recommend this place! Next time I'll try their lunch.

We went to the Henderson's for a small snack and especially enjoyed the vegan haggis.

The staff was friendly and the place has a nice flair.

As an Edinburgh resident, I've been meaning to check out this latest addition to this well-established, local, family - run chain. Looking for somewhere to have lunch between two Festival Fringe shows, this seemed a good bet, being off the main drag of the High Street/Canongate. It was a great choice; not too busy despite it being 1.15pm on a Sunday lunchtime during the Festival. I ordered the quiche of the day (tofu and broccolli) and two salads (a green salad and a beansprout and ginger salad that also included grated carrot), was given a number and took a seat at the window. This was perfect for watching the world go by whilst dining alone.The restaurant is in the ground floor of a modern block of flats but is tastefully furnished with mid-century and 'found' pieces. It took a short while to arrive but my meal was worth the wait; simple but flavoursome. The gentleman who brought it was charming. There was plenty tap water available. My total bill was £7.95. There are lots of vegan options, too. I would definitely come here again.

Great fresh food and good service.
If you're on the move this a great place to stop for a quick meal.
Would definitely recommend :)

Great selection of vegan lunches (burgers, soups, curries/stews, salads etc) and, more importantly... Cakes! Clearly labeled which options are vegan. Had the haggis burger and chocolate brownie, which were both very tasty with a lovely texture. Would definitely recommend for lunch/afternoon tea (good selection of leaf teas) and they also have a breakfast/brunch menu. Relaxed atmosphere, chic décor and friendly service.

as i've got older i've become a sucker for good food, so henderson does it for me.
The new brach of henderson is a great space, light come flooding in leaving you feeling all positive and calm ( or maybe it is just getting old). i arrived for lunch it was a wee bit busy but staff were smiley and polite. I opted for the haggis burger wrap which seemed huge when it arrived, but i felt good eating it as it wasn't all bread. a mixture of slaw, salad, humous and burger gave an array of tastes in the mouth, sweet and yet still savoury.
i recently visited vegfest in glasgow and although i had a great time, i really thought there was a lot of crap food out there, veggie but not healthy. not everything at henderson is super healthy, but you really do feel they give a shit about what they offer. it's not all bout profit, it's old school, but whats wrong with that.
