The best chili bowl - Edit
I came here on a sunday evening because it was one of the only places that was open, I didn't want to eat anything unhealthy, therefore I wasn't to excited, went for the least unhealthy option, the Chili bowl, and OH MAN, it was so good and a total surprise. Loaded with beans and garlic fried black rice, absolutely delicous. Huge portion to, I can't recomend it enough.

I was living in a world of make believe - Edit
There are days when you are fortunate enough to experience places such as this. Paradise Palms itself is a fantastic bar in its own right, then you throw in the Lucky Pig and a tremendous food and drink combination ensues. Highly recommended by Edinburgh Happy Cow Ambassador Craigmc including a guest appearance from the man himself. The three of us ploughed through a mountain of vegan delights including cheesy jack fruit topped fries, battered pickled gherkins and onion rings, mac’n’cheese, crab cakes and a fish fillet burger. It was an ultimate greed fest that resulted in temporary mobility issues due to excessively filled bellies.

I was happy to find this place - Edit
There are a lot of vegan bars where I come from and was happy to find one that had tequila and pinball. However, drinking in the UK sucks, you ask for liquor and then they put a few drops in a timble and charge you 8 quid, this place was no different. Food wise, the fish sandwich was pretty flavorless, and though the fries were good, they didn't give me anything to put on them.

Best vegan “chicken” ever - Edit
The seitan was the best vegan “chicken” I’ve ever had, excellent tofish and amazing nachos. The mac and cheese was a little disappointing though.
Read moreCocktails and beer selection both very good.
Great atmosphere too - a must visit in Edinburgh
Pros: Almost everything is vegan, Very cheap

Good but not great - Edit
I've been in the Paradise Palms with my partner for dinner. We had deep fried pickles, Mac and cheese and jackfruit fries (all vegan).
Read moreThe interior is very nice and interesting. I like the dish selection - most of them sounded very interesting, like the deep fried pickles that we just had to try! The food was good but not the greatest. The Mac and cheese for me was missing some flavour - I ate way better in some other places. The staff was very friendly

Great vegan choices - Edit
The menu looks great - veggie and vegan junk food. I wanted the burger but they didn't have those or jackfruit as kitchen were still preparing. I had a hot dog instead. Thin and narrow with thin dill fries. Good overall though bun was a bit dull. Went during fringe so packed and just great to see such a menu in central Edinburgh. ** visited 2018 and had the tofu fish bun which was really nice and buffalo cauliflower which for some reason was doused in two sauces which made it soggy

AMAZING naughty vegan/veggie comfort food - Edit
We had the V. Lucky Nachos, Dirty Fries with pulled jackfruit, To-fish bites(*****), onion rings and tempura veg between three hungry humans. So good, but if you're hoping for a healthy lunch, here's probably not the place (although I think they had a walnut salad)!
Read morePros: AMAZING for vegans and veggies, wanted to eat most things on the menu

Très bien ! - Edit
Vraiment délicieux, un accueil agréable, une décoration rigolote et soignée. Tout n'est pas végane mais la carte est très claire et de nombreuses options véganes. Certains plats végétariens peuvent être transformés en véganes sur demande. Pas assez d'une seule visite, trop de plats alléchants !

Went 2 nights in a row! - Edit
Amazingly tasty and good quality food (photos don't do it justice). I don't seek out junk food but am glad we went as it's not greasy at all, despite the cuisine - in fact we went back again the next day! The starter (on the specials board) and Lucky Dawg were divine

Good range - could be more flavourful - Edit
I loved my time at Paradise Palms. The friend rice and chilli bowl, nachos, and pancakes were all really nice.
Read moreI would just say that each was lacking something to make them delicious, but I tried my friend's hot dawg and it definitely wasn't lacking anything! Bravo 😊😊
Pros: Great range, Filling and inventive dishes
Cons: Vegan cheese on nachos - maybe try different type, Could do with more flavouring in some dishes

Good food! - Edit
Paradise palms is great, I really like the venue and so was pleased to discover it does vegan food. Had a really nice burger. I wish they would turn some lights on though, I was there in the middle of the day and it was so dark I could barely see my food!

Great food and vibe but had to wait a while - Edit
I've been to Paradise Palms and really enjoyed the food. It offers something different - vegan and veggie junk food! Great choice, first time I had the seitan burger and second time I had the tofish. The chips are also mouthwatering. I love the vibe of the place, the staff wear cool clothes and the decor is funky. The only one improvement would be the waiting times but I understand it gets busy. If you're going on a evening I suggest booking a table!

GREAT!!! - Edit
Visited on a sunny day, and really felt like being on holiday in this place (due to the decor, not to mention the cocktails)... But it was the food that was the star of the show! Not at all healthy but obviously still better than any non-vegan food! Great treat.
Read morePros: Excellent service, Loads of vegan options, Vegan cocktails
Cons: So hard to choose what to eat ;-)

Delicious Vegan Food in the heart of Edinburgh - Edit
We love to find great vegan restaurants when we travel abroad (thanks to Happy Cow - we always do!) I had not originally picked this place because it was vegetarian and I wanted to support a vegan place but the vegan places looked like raw food and we needed comfort food on a rainy day. Lucky Pig was awesome! Pretty much everything can be made vegan. I had the seitan meatball sub and mac n cheese (holy smokes was that incredible). And, my man had the Messy fries which were seitan meatballs, gravy, vegan cheese over french fries. That was awesome too. I actually wish we had more time in town to go back. Highly recommend this place. Cool vibe inside too and fun perky waitstaff.
Read morePros: Delicious vegan food, Great location - easy to find in town, Fun atmosphere

Great 'Diner' Food - Edit
I've visited a couple times, and the place has a great, lively, kitschy vibe. The food is good, and most is vegan or can be ordered vegan. The cauliflower buffalo wings deserve a specific mention, as they made me a believer (I'd always wondered how good they could really be).
Read morePros: Great diner food, Fun vibe
Cons: Not fully vegan, Can be quite busy
