Was not impressed by what I or my friend got. It was bland. Maybe it was a bad choice. Service was good though more

Excellent cuisine with flavors that awaken the pallet and create customer loyalty from the first bite. If only I found this sooner, I would have dined here daily on my trip to Edinburgh. Due to my food allergies, I spoke with the chef; I rate him 4-stars of five--very impressed. Fantastic experience. Well worth the visit. more

Started with the Thai fritter ball things with banana chutney and chilli sauce. Tasted glorious. Then had a tomato-ey rissotto for main. This was nice but tasted a little bland after the thai balls. Perhaps an error on my part. Had an amazing orange cheesecake with cointeau sauce for dessert. As a lover of cheesecake I could only say yum.... more

At last!! A veggie restaurant where you don't feel you have to wear a poncho and not wash your hair for a week. Bann's is stylish, friendly and above all it serves great food and wine. We tried a selection of starters/mains and desserts and none disappointed. Will be on the top of my list when I return to Edinburgh! more

We ate lunch here, and the food was so good we promptly cancelled our dinner reservations and came back for dinner the same night. My wife claimed that her luncheon entree was the best vegeteriain dish she had ever eaten, and she has been vegetarian for 13 years. If you are a carnivore, don't be mislead, there are plenty of... more

A friend and I ate at David Bann during the festival. Firstly, to note that unlike other times, no reservations are taken so you have to be a bit patient if you want to get a table during peak hours. We were lucky and were seated almost immediately but I think it is because we were a bit late. As... more

My wife and I recently went to David Bann in Edinburgh and loved it. We found this place in Lonely Planet's Guide to Edinburgh, and weren't disappointed. This place stays open late, and delivers quality food to Vegetarians and Vegans. We started off with Moroccan Fritters, which were really good for me, my wife wanted them to have more salt.... more

We stumbled into this restaurant, which is just off the Royal Mile, in an attempt to avoid a particularly heavy rain shower... and luckily Serendipity was working for us, as this was perhaps the best meal we had in our 2 weeks' touring around Scotland. My starter of Thai fritters was spicy and flavoursome, while the broccoli tart with filo... more

we stumbled across this restaurant on a Monday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised. Neither of us are vegetarian but like a break from meat every now and then. My starter was potato and leek soup and it was a revelation - in my opinion it is one of the most difficult soups to get right and these guys did -... more

Best veggie restaurant in Britain. Even the carnivores in our party stopped moaning after the starters. Nice dining room, good wine, good service and delicious food. more
