"1963 was the year that The Beatles had their first Number One hit (...) Henderson’s restaurant was the place to go in the Scottish capital, but certainly not for a SuperMac burger, unless it was made of beans", Alasdair Riley wrote in The Independent. 1962 was the year, when Edinburgh got its first vegetarian place to be. Henderson's started as a self-service restaurant in the basement of Hanover street. The menu: salads, vegetable soup, home-baked brown rolls, baked potato, two daily hot dishes and deserts, Tea and home-made lemonade
. Alaisdair Riley added: "When Henderson’s first opened, meat-free meals were as radical as mini skirts."
54 years later Henderson's runs a Salad Table restaurant at 94 Hanover street, a shop and deli at 92 Hanover street, a Vegan restaurant around the corner at 25c Thistle Street and a restaurant at 67 Holyrood Road. The homepage is still under construction, but the Facebook site is uptodate.
