Nice food but not fantastic - Edit
The starter we had a nibbles board and that was all really tasty and I couldn’t fault it, however the mains were pretty average and the dessert was also average. It was nice but definitely nothing to scream about. The vibes were good.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options , Great starter , Nice atmosphere
Cons: Quite expensive , Under-seasoned at times

Very friendly and tasty - Edit
Very welcoming and friendly staff, who looked after us after we were treated poorly at another place. Food was tasty, we just had a mix of starters and sides as we were in a bit of a hurry.
Read moreI had a hearty scotch broth and an orzo salad, my wife had a banana blossom pakora which was delicious and quite spicy. Our son polished off some excellent hummus and sourdough.
Would happily go back as we used to go to the old vegan Henderson's which is now closed.
Pros: Plenty to choose, Friendly staff
Cons: A little pricey, Not much choice on kids menu

Always enjoyable - Edit
Sometimes the mushrooms are magically cooked, sometimes the dishes aren’t quite as good as before and we leave less happy. Nevertheless, if friends come to visit this is where we’ll go as the service, drinks and dishes are generally good! There’s a fabulous non-alcoholic mixed drink from overseas but the name escapes me. Would recommend😄

Fantastic food - Edit
Really nice food and cocktails at Hendersons. Cauliflower wings starter were great and for mains we had butternut squash risotto which had crispy sage and sage pesto and also had the haggis dish which seems to be very popular for good reason. Both were really good as were the chips. A little on the pricey side but nice for a treat. Would love the whole place to be vegan but there were several options available.

A Veggy Haggis that is both a fantastic meal and a work of art - Edit
A good atmosphere, comfortable seating and great food. Just far enough from the city centre to be away from the crowds, near enough to walk (15 minutes from Princes Street)
Read morePros: The veggy haggis, Friendly staff, Wide selection of food, if you don't like haggis

Best vegan haggis yet - Edit
We booked as it is quite a popular restaurant. I was happy to see mocktails on the list. I’m not a non drinker but I find mocktails refreshing. I ordered the vegan haggis which I knew I was going to order before arriving! My partner ordered the curry. After a while they said the mains might take a while and did we want some complimentary nuts or olives. We declined, it was a nice space and we were happy to wait. The haggis was worth the wait. I loved the mash and the flavour was really good. My partners curry was a good serving size and the flavour was perfect. I wasn’t going to order dessert but the main was so good, I ordered a tiramisu while my partner ordered the brownie. Great service and a really nice restaurant. Just remember to look for the V for vegan dishes.

they have perfected hummus - Edit
This place is one of the nicer restaurants I’ve been to in Edinburgh, and you can tell based on the prices. I loved the atmosphere of this place though and definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a romantic candlelit dinner. The staff were excellent and super friendly, which is always a plus, and the food overall is pretty solid. I would say that in general everything is a little overpriced considering the portion size that you get so I couldn’t give this place the full five stars, but the absolute standout on the menu was the hummus appetizer. That hummus was so good that it reminded me why people still believe heaven exists; I think I could eat it until I died from overconsumption like that guy from Se7en. Unfortunately, it seems they have a rotating menu, so you may not be able to get this soul-mending hummus at any time, but definitely keep an eye out for it and you may get lucky.
Read morePros: excellent hummus, romantic atmosphere
Cons: pricey

Lovely fresh options - Edit
This was the last place I ate in Scotland before my trip ended. I had been eating a lot of yummy but unhealthy food all trip so it was great to have some healthy-ish and fresh options. I had their salad plate (combo of four salads) each one unique and delicious.
Read moreStaff was very friendly and informed about veganism. They asked at beginning for any allergens and when I said I was vegan they made sure to bring vegan butter for the starter and everything.
Chill atmosphere in a cool neighborhood.
Pros: Most options are vegan, Friendly staff, Yummy food
Cons: Not entirely vegan

Mixed feelings - Edit
Had been keen to go to Henderson’s for some time, we loved some of the dishes: the humous was great and the salads were nice. However the sticky toffee pudding was more of a ginger cake and very dry and the haggis wasn’t the most flavourful I’ve had. Service was great and the Bloody Mary was delicious!!

Great haggis - Edit
Really enjoyed our vegan haggis, neeps and tatties, as well as the sharing nibbles board (the sun-dried tomato and tarragon hummus was outstanding!). Only complaint was a lack of green veggies! It was a little on the pricey side but would recommend if visiting Edinburgh.

A must visit, just wow! - Edit
First of all the lady from front of house was welcoming and attentive. Promptly doing check backs and ensuring everything was going well. She told us that everything was homemade and fresh.
Read moreWe ordered the baked camembert with figs and the pan seared king oyster mushrooms.
The oyster mushroom dish was beautifully presented, had a mild and earthy taste and lovely cubes of smoked tofu. The Camembert and fig with the bread provided was nice. The seeded sourdough bread had two dips, a garlic honey one and an olive oil infused with thyme.
For mains we had the Haggis and Risotto. The Haggis tasted as good as it looked. Had a swede and potato base with the grains at the top with caramelised onions. Everything combined with the cream sauce was delicious. The Risotto wasn't over powering with the blue cheese but it gave a rich and creamy flavour, delicious.
We didn't have time for desert and were only visiting Edinburgh for a few days. But I envy the locals having such an amazing place within their city. If you're in the area, even passing through, give this place a go. You wont regret it!
Pros: Delicious
Cons: Pricy, but that's the cost of quality!

Has to be Haggis… - Edit
The reputation. Then you try it and it is way ahead of the ‘v’ gloop prepared by meat haggis makers.
