Overview

Locally owned and operated, this is not your average food tour. We visit exceptional restaurants and other stops serving superior-quality food. Our guides are some of the most experienced in town. We're different because every tour is unique. We don't go to the same stops every day, we have better relations with the establishments, and we can also cater to unique requests from our guests. We never use chain restaurants or tourist traps, and we can guarantee you will leave our tour full. We will also point out all the other best places to dine in town. After all, you need to eat three times a day, so knowing what and where to eat is essential to an enjoyable vacation. As such, our tour is suitable for everyone. We also accommodate most dietary restrictions, except for vegans. We "could" give a vegan tour, but it wouldn't be a Scottish food tour.

Itinerary

  • Old Town

    Old Town Edinburgh is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The tour travels around the Old Town to some of the best restaurants and cafes in town. Many of the restaurants and stops we visit are in the Old Town.

    2 hours 15 minutes

  • Royal Mile

    The Royal Mile is the center of Edinburgh's Old Town. The street actually has five names, but we'll cover that on the tour. We will spend roughly 15 minutes on the Royal Mile seeing some of the highlights between restaurants and cafes.

    15 minutes

  • St Giles' Cathedral (Pass By)

    More accurately known as the High Kirk of Edinburgh, we will pass by and cover the history of this beautiful church.

  • Advocate's Close

    Advocate's Close is one of the best photo opportunities in Edinburgh. The tour might even stop at a legendary establishment very close to the close, but for sure we'll stop here for a photo.

    2 minutes

  • New Town

    The tour will either have views of Edinburgh's 250-year-old New Town, or we will visit amazing establishments in the New Town.

    1 hour

  • Scott Monument (Pass By)

    A tribute to Sir Walter Scott, this gothic monument was once the tallest monument for a writer in the world.

Loved it!

What a wonderful tour! We were taken to spots where the locals go and where the food was authentic. So much food! Come with an appetite for sure. Skye was so knowledgeable and shared so much information (historical as well as food related). He also shared other places to go while we are here and so far, they have been right on target. There is a bit of walking but very manageable. We highly recommend this tour.

Make sure you come hungry. Each stop was perfectly curated to compliment the next. We loved that we were able to try local spots that weren’t your normal tourist destinations. We met local people that had cool stories and gave us great advice on where to go during the rest of our travels.
