    My home town so you would think I know all the vegan places there. Unfortunately cities keep changing but my information is accurate to two weeks ago (as of the 4th June 2003). I go back fairly often so can check up on places. Be warned though some of these places below do sell dairy and meat.

    FOOD SHOPS

      Mediterraneo, 40-42 St Andrews Street - An excellent small Italian deli which sells marinated olives and fresh breads. Check with staff for vegan products.
      Grampian Health Foods, Crown Street -One of two very good independent health food shops. Sells dried, chilled and frozen vegan products. Also sells vegan toiletries like American brands Jason and Kiss My Face.
      Natures Larder, 60 Holburn Junction- Possibly the smallest health food shop in the world with food stacked right up to the ceiling. Sells dried and chilled products. Limited frozen foods. It’s possible to come across some quite bizarre foodstuffs in here!
      The Spice Shop, 530 George Street - Fresh Asian vegetable and every spice and dried pulse you would need to make any curry. If you like spicy food then this is the place.

    RESTAURANTS

      Nargile- Fabulous Turkish food. The starters offer the biggest selection for vegans although there are quite a few mains too. Sadly none of the desserts are suitable. Prepare to GORGE yourself!They also have a branch in Edinburgh
      Soul and Spice Cafe 15/17 Belmont Street - The most amazing African and Carribean restaurant. Check their website for opening times as they can be slightly erratic sometimes.
      The Beautiful Mountain Belmont Street - A previously small sandwich shop which has expanded to include a take-away downstairs and a cafe upstairs. They have a selection of vegan sandwich fillings. Check with staff. They also always have soya milk available too.
