Peter Irvine highlights best vegetarian and vegan spots in Scotland

There is an increasing demand for vegetarian and vegan dining options in Scotland, leading to the introduction of a new vegan restaurant category in the latest edition of 'Scotland the Best.' Peter Irvine shares his top five recommended spots, which include a trailblazing basement vegetarian self-serve café and a proper bistro known for its extensive vegan menu. One of these establishments, Hendersons, has remained popular despite the changes in the local vegetarian dining scene. The growing interest in plant-based cuisine signifies a shift in dining preferences, appealing to both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, as more restaurants strive to offer diverse and inclusive menus that cater to a variety of dietary needs.
