Susie's Wholefoods Diner

Tucked away off Nicolson Street lies Edinburgh’s ultimate bohemian restaurant. The atmosphere is as relaxed and eccentric as the quirky vegetarian grub it serves, with eco-warriors and retired hippies swaying rhythmically to the diner’s accordion player and chatting raucously over the mismatched furniture.
 
Perfect for a famished festival-goer, the mix-and-match counter service ensures a sky-high plate of food instantly. Selecting but a few of the many homemade dishes available can be surprisingly stressful, however, and prices become steep for the indecisive. Look out for the perennial house special of broccoli and cheese or ratatouille, followed by a slice pear and apple frangipane tart.
 
Healthy, generous and honest food, Susie’s Diner is sure to be a favourite during the festival.
