Seeds For The Soul — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

We used to come here for Valentines day dinners, to celebrate birthdays, or just to chill with friends or for a romantic brunch for two. Deliverooed their food on lazy days in.. Sadly the menu was cut down and a lot of my favourite options inc. all the vegan “sea food” and wine, beer and coctails were pulled off the menu. These and more were the unique and delicious things that made us recommend this place to others and come back often. We’re left with cauliflower wings as any other vegan-option place. Staff on my visit a few days ago was an older blond lady. When we asked about the wine being gone she simply stated there’s no alcohol. We said it’s a shame because that’s what we came for-wine, beer and something nice to eat. She remained silent, so I ordered a coffee and my partner didn’t order a drink as he was purely after a beer this late in the day, so he apologised and said there’s nothing of interest for him to drink. The lady just left and didn’t inform us about the new system. When I finished what I ordered, I went to the toilet and saw a couple drinking wine at their table. I asked about it at the till on my way out and only now I was told it’s BYOB. If this was stated to us at the beginning when we made it clear to our server that we were after a drink, we could’ve went next door and grabbed some, we would’ve stayed and ordered dinner, however the lady wasn’t very helpful and left this information out so we went to eat elsewhere. Sadly won’t be coming back again as the amazing menu we loved and the lovely helpful staff are no longer there to make us want to spend money at this location anymore. Cake was...

Vegan food woo hoo... Seeds for the soul has a menu that offers a fair range of items and a good selection of cakes, sadly my experience was not wow. We booked and was shown to our table, glass of water while we look at the menu. I had the beyond BBQ burger, with the poppyseed bun (I'm still confused why a brioche bun is the go to choice, its cake why would I want a cake wrapped burger?) The bun change is a 2 pound additional charge, again why? We also had buffalo cauliflower and my partner had Mac and cheese. The place has a nice feel and a relaxed atmosphere, a bit too relaxed. Food arrived and it was OK, burger was as expected (if you've bought a beyond burger you know what they are like) Mac and cheese was OK and the cauliflower had a good crisp coating, the garlic alioli was very nice. Then a dog starts barking. In the restaurant. And doesn't stop. After what felt like 10 minutes of barking we both decide we will have our desserts to go, we sit for more than 5 minutes staring at the staff at the counter, plates stacked up, clearly done, deliveroo people arrive and are dealt with, still waiting... Finally we are noticed, I ask for the cake we want but to go, and the bill. Dog is still barking. We pay and leave, our airbnb is not more than 200 yards away, we get in and one cake looks like it was dropped into the box.

Dont bother, I feel mean saying it, but the staff didn't seem bothered, it wasn't busy, there were 5 tables with no more than 15 people total but we waited a long time for everything. I'm not gonna go back, and I don't recommend you wasting your...

Being a vegan food fan, this place stole my heart and definitely tops the list now! To begin with, the place is very cozy and cute and does give a comfortable vibe altogether. The staff was very courteous and all smiles. They did help us with what’s best and what should we go forward with and trust me we loved every bit we had.

So we had crispy smashed new potatoes- it was basically a sweet potato salad which was lip smacking.

The vegan benny - THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE DISH HERE - an avocado base burger and it was delicious. Every bite was so satisfying, this is a must try.

Steak frites with Chimichurri - a juicy and tender vegan steak which was cooked to perfection and it just melted in the mouth. It was served with fries and chimichurri sauce. This is hands down a must try.

Chick N Pan Plano - wrap with all amazing ingredients brought together to make it so delicious. The combination of the vegan chicken wrap and the dip was perfect.

In drinks, we had a classic cold coffee which perfectly made as per taste requirements and the lime & sea salt kombucha was the best to have with so so much of good foood for the most satisfactory vegan meal!

Last but not least we had the Lotus biscoff cheesecake- a perfect ending with amazing texture.

This has to be the best vegan restaurant in all of UK. A must try for everyone (even if you eat meat- trust me...
