    Black Bo’s

    You can’t accuse the chef at Black Bo’s, a popular vegetarian and vegan eatery just off the Royal Mile, of being unadventurous. Check the daily specials, which are always interesting – beetroot and cashew balls stuffed with feta cheese, with chilli and garlic yogurt, for example.

    Ann Purna

    This little gem of an Indian restaurant serves exclusively vegetarian dishes from southern India, served with a smile by the family team who run the place. If you’re new to this kind of food, opt for a thali – a self-contained platter that has about half a dozen different dishes, including a dessert. You can get a light lunch for £5.

    Henderson’s Salad Table

    Established in 1962, Henderson’s is the grandmother of Edinburgh’s vegetarian restaurants. The food is mostly organic, guaranteed GM-free, and special dietary requirements can be catered for. The restaurant still has a 1970s feel to it (but in a good way), and the daily salads and hot dishes are as popular as ever. Two-course set lunch is £9.

    L’Artichaut

    Beautifully crafted Tim Stead tables and chairs reflect the care and craftsmanship that goes into the food at this new and inventive restaurant. Fresh, seasonal produce is used to create dishes such as rosemary and thyme pancake filled with aubergine and mozzarella, and spicy black bean stew with glazed chicory and spiced cauliflower.

    David Bann

    If you want to convince a carnivorous friend that cuisine à la veg can be as tasty and inventive as a meat-muncher’s menu, take them to David Bann’s stylish restaurant – dishes such as beetroot, apple and Dunsyre blue cheese pudding, and crepe of Thai-spiced broccoli and smoked tofu are guaranteed to win converts.

    Engine Shed

    This fair-trade, organic vegetarian cafe is an ideal spot for a healthy lunch, or a cuppa and a bakery-fresh scone after climbing Arthur's Seat. It's been set up to help special-needs adults and as well as having their own bakery they also make their own tofu, which is used plentifully in their tasty curries.
