Edinburgh’s West End is one of the most vibrant areas of the city. Explore the cute little backstreets of this neighbourhood and you will discover a wealth of independent cafes, restaurants and fashion boutiques. The West End is a little bit off the beaten track of Edinburgh’s Old Town and New Town, so you are bound to find a hidden gem or two.
Near the West End you will find Haymarket Station, one of the busiest on Scotland’s railway network. Thankfully, there are plenty of places to grab a vegan bite to eat in this area before hopping on the train.
Head up Lothian Road to Fountainbridge and you will find lots of establishments that serve up lots of mouth-watering vegan-friendly food, from belly-busting burritos to tempting ice cream and waffles.
