Green Gazpacho by Raphael Soares and Paul Kayne of Hendersons Vegan Bistro in Edinburgh

Established in 1968, formerly Hendersons Bistro, we made the decision to go 100% Vegan in July 2015. As the Bistro was almost 90% vegan for 40 years, we thought it made sense to go completely vegan, making our little restaurant the first of its kind in Edinburgh.

Nestled on the cobbled Thistle Street in the heart of Edinburgh’s City Centre you can enjoy tasty dishes created by our talented team of Chefs in a light and colourful environment.

We are happy that vegans can be at home here and know that everything that we serve is 100% vegan including all of our wines, beers, delicious cakes and fair trade coffees but we are not exclusive. Our food packs a tasty punch and if you're simply looking for a great place to eat in a lovely environment, this is the place.
