.... We went to Scotland for Hogmanay and had a lovely GF meal in David Banns vegetarian restaurant in Edinburgh. They have changed the menu since our last visit so no GF haggis this time which was a bit disappointing but still a good choice.

Exquisite food in a perfect setting, with great atmosphere and attentive staff. Vegetarian eating at its very best - so you may well have to book at busy times.

Formerly Banns Restaurant of Hunter Square, Edinburgh. The new, improved Restaurant is under the sole management of David Bann.
Chef Sean Flint seems to be something of an alchemist. His materials, everything that you ever saw in the best-stocked wholefood store, every vegetable that ever passed through the market. He plunders the larders of cuisines as disparate as India, Japan, Italy, Greece, Malaysia and Mexico alongside a reworked Seventies wholefoodie repertoire. All of which may sound like a sure recipe for disaster, but amazingly isn't. Flint turns these disparate strands into gold. Apart from the food, the atmosphere, the service and the approachable flexibility of the menu, the other commendable thing about David Bann is his prices represent good value, a nice change for veggies who are generally ruthlessly ripped-off in restaurants. The sheer amount of work that must go into ingredients in this kitchen could put many carnivorous establishments to shame.

I was very happy to eat here. The food was well presented and tasty and the staff were able to tell me which dishes were vegan and gluten free. We ate here lunchtime at the weekend after visiting "Dynamic Earth" which is nearby. Prices for main meal £6 - £9.

Banns has a cosmopolitan feel about it with a modern stylish decor. The menu is imaginative and the roasted roots in maple syrup and lime juice are exquisite. Service was excellent. Middle range prices.
