Pas besoin d être végétarien pour franchir la porte de ce restaurant. Vous y dégusterez des plats délicats, finement cuisinés et avec d’excellents saveurs. Il est assez rare de trouver des restaurants végétariens de cette gamme là.

My wife and I have dined at David Bann a total of five times; three times in November 2024 and twice in August 2025. The restaurant is our go to place in Edinburgh and is without question our favorite restaurant in the world. We have nothing to compare in Boston, where we live. The food is entirely vegetarian; however it is so innovative and tasty that non-vegetarians like my wife relish the opportunity to eat at David Bann. We are known as the crossword people because we always do the New York Times crossword everywhere we dine. We like to start with a cocktail; we recommend the cosmopolitan. We usually order a main course and dessert. We highly recommend the spicy aubergine koftas, the risotto a la Norma, the double baked pudding and the wild mushroom base. For dessert we recommend the assiette desserts for two to share. We recommend requesting a booth for privacy. Our two favorite attractions in Edinburgh are the Water of Leith walk from Modern one Museum to Stockbridge through Dean village and eating at David Bann. Both these are a welcome relief from the hordes on Princes street and the Royal Mile.
