The best restaurants in City Centre Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

This place simply does not disappoint. Whether it is the speedy and friendly service or the beautifully laid out food that fulfills all your cravings, you must visit this place. There are a lot of vegan restaurants that boast being great, yet they lack the key ingredient: simply great food, without anything extra. For a vegan restaurant, I look for comforting flavours that deliver and make me and my tummy happy. I have finally found a place I can openly recommend to everyone. Reasonable prices, great services, friendly atmosphere and food you can actually be happy with. I need to go back here, asap. You should too.

Wowza! Great food. The lovely staff (Steven & his lovely mum) chatted to us. Street food style dining Very casual but great.

Truly outstanding meal and service!

¡The Global es un rayo de sol instantáneo incluso antes de que se sirva su café! El café es lo mejor y el servicio es con amabilidad y una sonrisa! ¡Gran manera de empezar el día! La comida es maravillosa también!

I came to Edinburgh for a couple of days as a solo traveler and was looking for a place to have tea near my hostel. That’s when I found this wonderful spot. Indira is incredibly kind. The first time, I had a simple avocado toast, but it had a green sauce that gave it a delightful Latin twist. Plus, there are plenty of vegan 🌱 and vegetarian options. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for solo travelers. The pastries are really good, and the scones are just as delicious. I really recommend this place.

The best place ever! We had an issue with data and the phone didn't work ( problem with different country numbers) and couldn't take the order, but the kitchen chef made it for free. 🫶 Food is Great! Love it.

We tried here for the first time today. There’s a very clean, fresh and welcoming atmosphere in this very attractive cafe, situated near the stunning Royal Botanic Garden. There’s a very appealing choice of cakes and scones etc. We shared a cheese and chive scone which was delicious, plus we enjoyed excellent tea and coffee. We intend to return when we are next on foot, in Inverleith and wholeheartedly recommend Krem Karamel.

They offer wide variety of fillings for rolls and sandwiches. It is best option for a quick lunch during work hours. Also rates are quite reasonable.

Bittersweet is glorious. Absolutely exquisite cocktails, delicious small plates of Italian food and detailed and attentive service. The venue is beautiful and the staff were passionate and expressive in their shared mission to ensure we had a wonderful time and experienced a sensory explosion of flavour in everything we drank and ate. Visiting from London I was pleasantly shocked that the bill was so reasonable for such a feast in flavour. I honestly can’t think of a meal I’ve enjoyed more and am already looking forward to returning when back in Edinburgh for the festival. Leith has a new jewel in its culinary crown and it’s Bittersweet.

My wife and I spent a few days in Edinburgh, and Preacher’s became my coffee spot. The people are very nice, and the coffee and food are delicious. I had a very nice egg and cheese sandwich one day and a pastry the next. I like my coffee pretty basic, so I had an unsweetened latte. It was nice, rich coffee. I would definitely recommend Preacher’s.

Me decidí a comprarme un helado de aquí una de las tantas veces que pasé por el lado y en que momento no paré antes.... Unos helados tremendos, desde el momento que probé uno ya cada día que estuve en Edimburgo fui a por uno. Para mi el Salted Caramel estaba delicioso.

Beautiful place, nice atmosphere and best cakes! Really good food selection. I definitely recommend this place. I’m looking forward to try more things from menu :)

Lots of vegan options on the menu. Very hearty and filling. One of the best vegan meals I have had in Edinburgh! German Version: Das "Sen Viet Vegan Restaurant" hat eine große Auswahl an veganen Speisen. Mein Gericht war sehr herzhaft, geschmackvoll und absolut befriedigend. Tatsächlich das beste vegane Essen in ganz Edinburgh!

Beautiful setting in the heart of wonderful Edinburgh. The welcome and attention from staff was exceptional and made our evening. Helena in particular was first class. We sampled mousaka, spanakopita and aubergine iman and all were exceptional. A truly wonderful Greek cuisine experience. Thank you to all concerned. We shall be back.

This is undoubtedly the home of the best bacon rolls and fruit scones in Edinburgh. We moved office and still have our weekly roll run here as tried others near our new office and nothing compares. Lovely staff and food always fresh and of a good quality. Good variety at lunchtime too. Support local and try it out.
