Great vegan choices

The menu looks great - veggie and vegan junk food. I wanted the burger but they didn't have those or jackfruit as kitchen were still preparing. I had a hot dog instead. Thin and narrow with thin dill fries. Good overall though bun was a bit dull. Went during fringe so packed and just great to see such a menu in central Edinburgh. ** visited 2018 and had the tofu fish bun which was really nice and buffalo cauliflower which for some reason was doused in two sauces which made it soggy

AMAZING naughty vegan/veggie comfort food

We had the V. Lucky Nachos, Dirty Fries with pulled jackfruit, To-fish bites(*****), onion rings and tempura veg between three hungry humans. So good, but if you're hoping for a healthy lunch, here's probably not the place (although I think they had a walnut salad)!

Pros: AMAZING for vegans and veggies, wanted to eat most things on the menu

Cons: as always in Edinburgh, drinks are pricey

Très bien !

Vraiment délicieux, un accueil agréable, une décoration rigolote et soignée. Tout n'est pas végane mais la carte est très claire et de nombreuses options véganes. Certains plats végétariens peuvent être transformés en véganes sur demande. Pas assez d'une seule visite, trop de plats alléchants !

Went 2 nights in a row!

Amazingly tasty and good quality food (photos don't do it justice). I don't seek out junk food but am glad we went as it's not greasy at all, despite the cuisine - in fact we went back again the next day! The starter (on the specials board) and Lucky Dawg were divine

Good range - could be more flavourful

I loved my time at Paradise Palms. The friend rice and chilli bowl, nachos, and pancakes were all really nice.

I would just say that each was lacking something to make them delicious, but I tried my friend's hot dawg and it definitely wasn't lacking anything! Bravo 😊😊

Pros: Great range, Filling and inventive dishes

Cons: Vegan cheese on nachos - maybe try different type, Could do with more flavouring in some dishes

Good food!

Paradise palms is great, I really like the venue and so was pleased to discover it does vegan food. Had a really nice burger. I wish they would turn some lights on though, I was there in the middle of the day and it was so dark I could barely see my food!

Great food and vibe but had to wait a while

I've been to Paradise Palms and really enjoyed the food. It offers something different - vegan and veggie junk food! Great choice, first time I had the seitan burger and second time I had the tofish. The chips are also mouthwatering. I love the vibe of the place, the staff wear cool clothes and the decor is funky. The only one improvement would be the waiting times but I understand it gets busy. If you're going on a evening I suggest booking a table!

Pros: Tasty Junk Food, Good menu choice, Funky vibe

Cons: Long waiting times

GREAT!!!

Visited on a sunny day, and really felt like being on holiday in this place (due to the decor, not to mention the cocktails)... But it was the food that was the star of the show! Not at all healthy but obviously still better than any non-vegan food! Great treat.

Pros: Excellent service, Loads of vegan options, Vegan cocktails

Cons: So hard to choose what to eat ;-)

Delicious Vegan Food in the heart of Edinburgh

We love to find great vegan restaurants when we travel abroad (thanks to Happy Cow - we always do!) I had not originally picked this place because it was vegetarian and I wanted to support a vegan place but the vegan places looked like raw food and we needed comfort food on a rainy day. Lucky Pig was awesome! Pretty much everything can be made vegan. I had the seitan meatball sub and mac n cheese (holy smokes was that incredible). And, my man had the Messy fries which were seitan meatballs, gravy, vegan cheese over french fries. That was awesome too. I actually wish we had more time in town to go back. Highly recommend this place. Cool vibe inside too and fun perky waitstaff.

Pros: Delicious vegan food, Great location - easy to find in town, Fun atmosphere

Great 'Diner' Food

I've visited a couple times, and the place has a great, lively, kitschy vibe. The food is good, and most is vegan or can be ordered vegan. The cauliflower buffalo wings deserve a specific mention, as they made me a believer (I'd always wondered how good they could really be).

Pros: Great diner food, Fun vibe

Cons: Not fully vegan, Can be quite busy

Delicious veggie comfort food

Had the pulled jackfruit to share and the 'to-fish' tacos. Both delicious and the to fish actually could pass for fish. Jackfruit was also flavoured very well and my non-veggie friend loved it. Everything is reasonably priced and the decor and atmosphere is cool. Decent portions very filling!

Ambrosia - not the rice pudding.

Lovely friendly bar/restaurant with a ton of awesome veggie/vegan soul food. Man, I came in here for a beef burger, left a converted vegan. I didn't expect this. Service was also lovely. I mean, the place is more hip than George Clinton rockin' jompers. All staff were super friendly. Food arrived quick and I couldn't see my pal over the nachos. (they're awfie wee, but still.) worth a try.

Pros: Vegan veggie deluxe goodness

Cons: I was a happy carnivore.

Funky and fun

Great bar with a cool vibe
Was totally full when we got there, but the waiter bent over backwards to help us
Wasn't that impressed with the Po Boy, but the cauliflower wings and the southern friend halloumi were both great
Good beers on tap too

Pros: Good selection, Excellent staff

Best vegan junk food I’ve had! 😈

This is by far my favourite place for vegan junk food, everything is absolutely amazing and very affordable. The vegan mac and cheese, onion rings, buffalo cauliflower and jackfruit nachos were out of this world!

The place is packed on Saturday night and I would definitely recommend booking a table if going for dinner especially at weekends. They also have a great list of (vegan) cocktails which can be enjoyed in the very cool, quirky bar area.

Pros: Awesome decor and chill vibe, AMAZING food

Cons: Very busy at peak times

goood vibes and soul food!

Seitan meatball sub and chili bowl with cornbread were both fantastic. Not the cheapest but very reasonable for what you get, and a beautiful environment. Great menu with range of vegan and vegetarian options - def something for everyone here.

Pros: great decor, homely feel and comfort food

a Non-experience

We walked quite a long way and were very much looking forward to enjoying a nice dinner.
Unfortunately it is not stated on the page that minors are not allowed from 8pm and we had to leave deeply disappointed without food and hungry.
The waiter however said that he will pass it on to the manager that it should be stated on the page.

Great Comfort Food

Lots of vegan options are available at this vegetarian restaurant, set in a tiki themed bar. Great atmosphere, and really tasty food.

We've been twice in the last couple of days, and had the the Lucky Dawg, BBQ Jackfruit Po, BBQ Meatball Po, and Blackbean and Seitan Burger. For me, the winner was the burger, but Mrs Judgecal preferred the Meatballs. The Jackfruit is quite sweet, so go for the Meatballs if you like a more savoury BBQ dish. Go for the Lucky Spice Fries if you like a Cajun edge to your chips.

Service was friendly and prompt.

Pros: Lots of vegan options that are unhealthy. :-)

Cons: None I can think of.

Terrible Service, Decent food

I came here with my girlfriend on May 23rd. Atmosphere was pretty cool and the place was pretty packed. There appeared to be only two people working on the floor and two bartenders (although there were only 4 chairs at the bar). We went ignored until we pulled aside a waiter and asked him if we could be sat. He said he would let us know when a seat opened up. He ended up seating people who came in after us first which was weird. The people on the side of us got menus, drinks, and had their food order taken and we were still waiting for menus. All he had to do was turn around and hand them to us when he took them off the other table. We waited about 45 minutes. Watched him clear glasses off of empty tables and walked passed us a bunch of times even though we were clearly trying to make eye contact with him. I ended up going and getting my own menus from the bar and then approaching our waiter (blond hair, tie dyed shirt and a consistent annoyed expression) and telling him we were ready to order when he had a second. He came over and said yeah.. sorry.. I uhh forgot about you. So we put our order in and his response was " is that it?" and then he walked away. We waited quite a while for our drinks and finally one of the bartenders brought them over, without removing the empty glasses. Finally our food game, brought by yet a different person. We received no napkins or silverware. My girlfriend had to eat her salad with her hands. We waited a while for the bill and left no tip. We hardly wanted to pay the bill. We were there for 3 hours. Terrible terrible service. Food was pretty good but not worth the aggrevation. We both work in the food industry and realize it can be overwhelming at times but you should certainly always scan the room, choose priorities, and at the very least greet your customer with a smile and apologize when you've completely forgotten about them.

I got the jackfruit nachos and the corn bread. We split the veggie tempura with a garlic aoli dip. It was all pretty good and fair priced. My girlfriend got the "hot dawg" with a salad and seemed to like the salad better.

Pros: Food was decent, Atmosphere was cool, Pet friendly

Cons: Slow Service, Rude Staff
