The Vegan Sora

100% plant-based Italian

Fine Italian / Authentic Roman Cuisine

Formerly known as the highly acclaimed Sora Lella, this family-run establishment has beautifully expanded and rebranded into The Vegan Sora (operating from their stunning Sora Diana location). They have achieved something truly special: bringing the hearty, authentic flavours of Rome to the Scottish capital without using a single animal product.

This is the ultimate destination if you are craving luxurious, velvety pasta dishes. The kitchen excels at recreating absolute classics - expect incredibly rich, plant-based takes on traditional carbonara and cacio e pepe, alongside phenomenal wood-fired pizzas and an indulgent vegan tiramisu. For serious pasta lovers, their Thursday evening "Pasta Non-Stop" offer - featuring unlimited freshly made pasta and antipasti - is an absolute must-book experience.

Boasting an excellent curated wine list and an atmosphere that is both elegant and incredibly warm, it is the perfect spot for a romantic date night or a celebratory dinner in Edinburgh.
