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.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
