The day
About this tour
Bring an empty stomach and a curious spirit: this is Edinburgh served on a plate. Your private foodie guide books the stops, knows the people behind them, and leads you on a relaxed wander through the cobbled streets of the Old Town, tasting your way through the story of Scotland's capital.
There is haggis, neeps and tatties done properly, Scottish cheese and cured meats, and buttery shortbread and tablet for the sweeter moments. Along the way come local favourites off the Mile, places you would walk straight past without someone to point at the door, and each stop brings a new flavour and a tale of conquest, culture and community.
Between bites, you pass some of the city's best-known sights, among them Edinburgh Castle, Victoria Street and Greyfriars Kirkyard, so there are plenty of stories to go with the food. Come hungry, and take your time.
