By Edinburgh is unofficially the vegan capital of Scotland. “Over the last decade, the number of vegans in the UK has increased by more than 350 per cent,” according to The Scotsman.
So you can imagine my excitement when I found out I was moving to Edinburgh.
So for myself and for those of you visiting Edinburgh, I compiled the list below. Bonus: I’ve also mapped all of these delicious plant-based eateries for you! You can save my Edinburgh Vegan list to use it as an easy reference. Check out my Edinburgh Vegan Map here!
*Note: Each place listed is exclusively vegetarian/vegan, unless otherwise noted as “veg friendly”!*
