Pumpkin Brown

Pumpkin Brown is a wonderful cafe in the Grassmarket area of the Old Town specializing in raw food, healthy eating and vegan cuisine. They start with the promise that none of their food contains refined sugar, dairy products or gluten, and then go on to produce some impressively mouthwatering dishes. Vibrant, fresh salads sit alongside moreish sweet potato fries, flavorful bean stews and rich and spicy dhal and chilli. Their breakfast chai pots are so healthy and well behaved that you might have to follow them with a rather more decadent cake just to find balance. Never fear, they offer raw raspberry ruffle bars (a nostalgic must for any vegan who has staved off a chocolate craving with one of the original ruffle bars), a vegan carrot cake to die for and many more.
