Large portions, relaxed service, menu sounds better than tastes - Edit
Fantastic decor, friendly and relaxed service (not somewhere to go in a rush), great menu but dishes didn't have the depth or complexity of flavour I was hoping for, sounded better than they tasted. More comfort food then healthy unfortunately.

Delicious wraps - Edit
Wonderful food. Shame we couldn’t drink the beers they sold there, on their own premises! Huge portions...one wrap would have sufficed for two of us.

Excellent! - Edit
We had dinner here and it was very good. We ordered the green gazpacho and soup of the day (cauliflower paprika) for starters. Both were really really good. For mains we had the haggis and jackfruit stew, also both delicious. Friendly service and good vibes. Definitely recommended!

Live music, great food - Edit
Lots of options and great desserts. We ordered the chef pot of the day, which was a Spanish casserole. For dessert we had a chocolate creme de pot that was surprisingly refreshing. That night live music started at 7pm.

yum! - Edit
Lovely dinner! Vegan Haggis was delicious. Also tried a nice chocolate mousse for dessert. Came in for a weeknight dinner and got a table around 5:30, then it started filling up a bit more. Only about 8 tables so call ahead at busy times.

Best vegan restaurant in my life - Edit
Henderson's sticks in my mind as the best vegan restaurant I have ever eaten at. The food is delicious and not as expensive as gourmet vegan restaurants. If you're in Edinburgh, this is a must-visit.

Very vegan very delicious - Edit
Fab meal, really enjoyed the menus and the service was excellent, on a weekend to Edinburgh for a cycling event, we will be back again! Food was just brilliant, really great that everything is vegan, no need to ask or to ask for an adapted meal as is usually the case. Also excellent range of drinks Kombucha made in Glasgow and the puddings.

Nice Atmosphere but overpriced - Edit
It was tasty- don’t get me wrong- however, overpriced. There is better vegan in town that’s less expensive. Nice atmosphere if you are looking for a date location.

Great service, delicious food - Edit
Friendly & efficient service even though they were down to 2 staff members only. The food was delicious and different (vegan haggis!). The venue is small so it feels very special to be there (NB - book a table!)

Delicious, but pricey - Edit
I adore it here, but do believe it is unnecessarily expensive.
Read moreIt's always nice for a wee treat, but if they lowered their prices a tad more people would likely experience the joys of catered vegan food and hopefully make the transition 😜
Pros: Almost everything
Cons: Expensive

Wish there was one in every city! - Edit
Healthy, tasty food which seemed more imaginative than many of those ‘vegan junk food’ type places (which are also great, of course)...but this place has no guilty after-effect! Just wish it wasn’t so damn far away ;-)

Disappointing - Edit
Had a disappointing experience. The starters were good so was looking forward to the main course of Linguine, however when it came it was dry with no sauce or dressing and lukewarm. The waitress was friendly but insincere and did not ask how the food was and did not care that I had hardly touched my food. There is a microwave on the counter where the cook was heating the meals to lukewarm. Didn’t stay for pudding as we just wanted to leave. Reading other reviews we must have caught it on a very bad day.

Cons: Microwave , Lukewarm food , Social club for staff
