David Bann

Located just a stone's throw away from the busy Royal Mile, David Bann offers a menu of tasty and exciting vegetarian food amidst a highly polished yet intimate setting. The restaurant shuns the bohemian connotations of vegetarianism, with dishes that are inventive and sophisticated.

Whatever may be felt absent in terms of meat is made up for by the powerful flavours used in the food; from chili and chocolate to ginger and spicy pepper, the menu is undoubtedly fiery, whilst maintaining an underlying simplicity through the use of fresh local ingredients. For after, I recommend the assiette of desserts for three miniature samples of the lush puddings.

Excluding meat, David Bann really does seem to have it all: elegant yet substantial food at affordable prices, complimented by fast service and a sleek, cosmopolitan atmosphere that makes for an enjoyable dining experience both night and day.
