carnivorous friend that cuisine à la veg can be as tasty and inventive as a meat-munch-
er's menu, take them to David Bann's stylish restaurant - dishes such as beetroot,
apple and Dunsyre blue-cheese pudding, and Thai fritter of spiced broccoli and

A long-
standing Edinburgh favourite, Kalpna is one of the best Indian restaurants in the coun-
try, vegetarian or otherwise. The cuisine is mostly Gujarati, with a smattering of dishes
from other parts of India. The all-you-can-eat lunch buffet (£8) is superb value.
