The Sly Fox

Found in Leith, The Sly Fox is a fantastic vegan cafe in Edinburgh. Chow down on French toast with a side of vegan bacon and maple syrup, or opt for the famous faux gras, which is a pâté made of mushrooms, lentils and walnuts.

Ting Thai

With a full vegan menu available, Ting Thai - based just across the road from the iconic McEwan Hall and Edinburgh University Student Association - is a great choice for your next plant-based meal. A street food destination decorated in exposed brick walls, canteen-style furniture and industrial pipes, it's as cool as they come and was awarded Scotland's best Thai by Deliveroo in past years.

Tuck into tofu pad Thai and other wok-fried noodles, as well as sweetcorn fritters and sweet potato crispies.

Novapizza

The only totally vegan Italian restaurant in Edinburgh, Novapizza will have you drooling over its mouthwatering selection of grub. Dine on everything from spaghetti carbonara made with seitan to pizza capricciosa, followed by tiramisu or affogato - all of which is plant-based.
