What Dean Wilson doesn't like about David Bann:
All in all I liked the experience at David Bann restaurant. Half of the menu is vegan, the other half is vegetarian. They aim for fine dining and offer interesting and versatile options, unfortunately, they are a bit bland and drowned in oil. But the cocktails are really good and the service is excellent. View all feedback. What Melissa Navarrete likes about David Bann:
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call David Bann the best restaurant in Edinburgh, and I will tell you why. The quality of ingredients paired with superb flavour combinations is unparalleled. The deserts were perfectly balanced when it came to sweetness. I would highly recommend the panna cotta with basil strawberries. Add to that highly trained and friendly staff, and you have the perfect dining experience. Oh, did... View all feedback.

Hands down one of best vegan restaurants. If you're from the Bay area, this is the equivalent of Millennium!!

The gnocchi and hummus were tasty. If sharing the hummus, you might request more bread.

David Bann restaurant offers a unique dining experience with a vegan and vegetarian menu. While some dishes may be a bit bland and oily, the cocktails are exceptional, and service is top-notch. The cozy atmosphere and delicious food make it a favorite for many, despite limitations for those with allergies. The lack of disabled facilities is a downside for some, but overall, it is considered a must-visit. The menu is creative, with excellent dishes like beetroot and cauliflower curry. With attentive staff and fantastic cocktails, it's recommended to make a reservation and enjoy a memorable dining experience at David Bann.

Absolutely delicious food, staff attentive, clean warm environment... my only complaint not enough food on plate.

Gorgeous food lovely staff. Our waiter had only been working a few weeks, but had taken the time to learn about the cuisine talk with knowledge ...

My only criticism is that we had planned an evening out, but ended up having 3 courses in exactly an hour. The food was lovely!
