Amazing vegan food

Great selection of food and all organic. Worth the extra bit of money on a special occasion, especially for the cakes!

Updated from previous review on 2022-12-31

Pros: Large menu, Delicious food, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Quite expensive, No Coca-Cola (brand) or diet cola, Food is more for indulgence, rather than health

Amazing all-rounder!

This is our second time visiting Seeds for the soul. The first time was for dinner earlier in the year but we have no photos of this. Now, we have re-visited for breakfast after enjoying it so much the first time. Both of us had the savoury pancakes which were incredible. Neither of us wanted to finish our meals! The sausages, bacon and scrambled eggs were amazing and the pancakes were so fluffy + soft!!

After this we had a blackcurrant tea pot which was served with cute cups and saucers!

A must visit if you are in the area! Or even if you aren't!!

Pros: Savoury Pancakes were amazing, Biscoff Latte!!, Relaxing Atmosphere and Nice interior

Love it

Priced fairly and good selection of sides. As well as feasting on the generously sized bowls in person, we often order a selection of the sides via a delivery app when there’s an offer! We’ve been known to share a super indulgent coffee from time to time too. Best place in Edinburgh for a healthy vegan lunch in my opinion.

Literally saved us

We went for breakfast here after hiking arthurs seat so we were veryyyyy hungry. The decoration is super nice, the staff were really welcoming and checked on us the perfect number of times. Our food was super fast and there were loads of options. They gave us water without asking and refilled our water without asking. The food was AMAZING and 100% worth the price considering it wasnt even too expensive. Definitely deserves top rated restaurant.

The best vegan restaurant..

.. I‘ve ever been to. A cool ,trendy -looking restaurant. This restaurant has a heart warming, calm atmosphere, where you could just sit for hrs. I really liked to look at the paintings on the wall :)
Omg! Food was just perfect and valued the price. Especially the fried cauliflowers were one of the most delicious ones I ever had😍 The staff were all kind. Will definitly go back to that place. 💛

Pros: fried cauliflowers=just food for your soul

If you haven't been here, you need to go!!

This is possibly one of the best vegan places I have been to. The staff was just super friendly and the food was beautiful to look at as well as delicious to eat. We came here for brunch and had the full Scottish breakfast and were so taken away that we came back again for dinner. Dinner was just as good!

The next time I'm back in Edinburgh I will surely visit here again!

Pros: Great taste, Friendly service, Plenty of choices

Cons: A bit pricey

Pros: Amazing breakfast, Nice staff

Cons: Expensive

Great experience!

I had the ABC beyond burger which was delicious! There was a choice of side and I got the salted, chilli fries which were so tasty. After our meal we had hot chocolates and I appreciated the extra touch of cream and chocolate buttons.

It is quite expensive but reasonable for the size and quality of the dishes.

The service was very good! The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend!

Pros: Large portion size, Excellent service, Pleasant atmosphere

Cons: Expensive

This was the first vegan place I visited in Edinburgh and wow, hit the jackpot right away! I had the nourish bowl which was absolutely delicious. Lovely atmosphere and service too. Will definitely come back during my visit to try their breakfast pancakes.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Friendly service, Lovely art on the walls

Definitely recommend!!

It was 50mins walk from where I stay, definitely worth to go! Food is so good! So full, unable to eat dessert so I take it to home (will have it next the day! Lol). One of staff who serve me, she’s so lovely and sweet, especially when she tried to communication with me use finger spelling and some sign as I am profoundly deaf and BSL user 🥰

Pros: 100% VEGAN!, High quality food, Great location

Cons: Mac & cheese wasn’t available😭 but I’ll be back!

Large portions, big menu

Bowls are delicious! Had the satay one. Portions of everything are big and filling. Prices are a bit odd, like £5.04 etc. Good selection of cakes. Not doing Mac and cheese or hot dogs at the moment ☹️ Good vegan ethics! They take card but wouldn't let us pay for parts of the bill separately.

Lovely, just lovely 🌱

Of all the great restaurants we've been to in edinburgh, this one must have been our favourite! Super friendly staff, cosy and most importantly very delicious. The place was not too busy during our visit.

Always Brilliant

Every time I go the food is brilliant and the service is lovely.
This time we had the salt and chilly shrimp as a starter which was delish, as mains we had the nourish and the falafel bowl. Amazing, filling portion sizes, lovely and very flavoursome.
The cocktails were tasty as ever.
Today we went back for some hot chocolates, the orange one is out of this world!

Pros: Vibes! Brekkie Lunch and Dinner , Healthy food that leaves u leaving fab , Drinks are also peng !

Cons: A lot of options are very garlicky

Great lunch

It was a nice walk after visiting the national gallery. I had a bagel with smashed avocados, tomato and onions and hummus. The bagel itself was a great bagel and I liked the mixture and it was seasoned well. I also had an Oreo cookies and cream frappe. This was spectacular. My partner had the Mac doggy Dog. It was huge and I tried it and liked it. It’s a nice space and again the service was great.

Assolutamente da provare!

Il miglior hamburger vegano che abbiamo mai mangiato nella nostra vita.
Io ho preso cheeseburger e il mio compagno bbq burger. Entrambi con Beyond Meet.
Che dire, meglio degli hamburger onnivori, senza dubbio.
Patatine eccellenti. Dolce delizioso e buona scelta di birre.

Top drawer brunching!

Yes yes yes! Came here for brunch and it did not disappoint! Would definitely recommend booking as really busy (it was the Fringe though!)
Absolute epic portions (I did order extra mushrooms and avo which I definitely did not need, but you know, health!) I consider myself to have a good appetite and this almost beat me! The hot chocolate was also epic!
Wanted to come back to try everything else! Everyone's food looked amazing and the staff were spot on! Nice building too, I will definitely be back next time I'm in Edinburgh!

Pros: Everything!

Committed and reliable vegan go-to in the "fake meat" tradition

This is a committed long-standing vegan eatery in Bruntsfield, easily reached from Edinburgh city centre West end, offering a selection of burgers/bowls/wraps in the new vegan/fake meat tradition. While I'm not a fan of artifical "meat" and don't really care for the taste of "Beyond Meat" burgers, if these things don't bother you, then this informal dining place with a youthful vibe (esp. in evenings) will suit well. Food is tasty and filling, rather than fancy or creative. The bowls are very good and nicely presented. Desserts don't feature large, though there are a few cakes.
Staff are friendly if often inexperienced (an issue everywhere tho'). The place is pleasant, small but airy, and quite stylish, though the layout makes positioning of tables difficult, especially for twos. Dogs are welcomed.
Overall, a reliable go-to within the city's vegan eateries - and open in the evenings which many vegan eateries aren't. With more variety in the menu, a few desserts (lack of these in traditional restaurants remains a problem), some thought given to layout, and attention to staff customer training, the standard could easily be raised.

Pros: Friendly, if often inexperienced staff, Committed approach to veganism, nice presentation, Informal, cafe style, quieter out of centre

Cons: Limited burger/bowls/wraps (fine if you like this, Only one kind of burger (Beyond Meat), Tables for two located near bar, stairs or loo
