As Ali Liddy told us at the August salon, this October will see the arrival of the Edinburgh Restaurant Festival.

Launching with a fabulous Chef’s Table event on 8 October, over sixty eateries are involved, with events, special menus, and a general sense of celebration across the city.

With the festival running from 9th-23rd October, it represents an excellent opportunity to try out some new places. Full details of the special set menus that are on offer are available here. The impressive range of options goes from Michelin star to street food, with just about everything else in between.

Make sure to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity to promote and celebrate of city’s food culture. I look forward to seeing y’all at many of the events.
