Taste haggis, Cullen skink, seafood, whisky, and Scottish desserts in a small-group Edinburgh food tour at a traditional local restaurant.

“Food and drink was excellent with all the scotish cuisines we were wanting to try. It was just the two of us and our guide Noam. He was freindly engaging and knowlegable of the food, history and local area. Definately come hungary as the portions were much larger than we usually get on other food tours. Highly recommend as you arrive in town and give the popular scottish dishes a try.”
