One of Edinburgh's largest street food festivals is finally making a return to the capital after being postponed last summer due to Covid.
However, the Edinburgh Food Festival, which launched in 2015, will now run for five days next month at the Covid-secure Assembly George Square Gardens.
The festival has quality Scottish ingredients at its heart and showcases the best food producers and makers from across Scotland, as well as featuring demos and workshops from some of the country’s best chefs, including Carina Contini ( Contini) , Scott Smith (Fhior), Derek Johnstone (MasterChef the Professionals inaugural Champion), and more.
Supported through Scotland’s Events Recovery Fund delivered by EventScotland, this summer’s event will be a little bit different from previous years, as Edinburgh and the rest of Scotland slowly emerge from lockdown restrictions which caused the postponement of last year’s festival.
Festival goers will be allocated a table for their visit, from which they can enjoy food from a hand-picked selection of Scottish street food stalls - all washed down with the help a well-stocked bar situated in the gardens.
Edinburgh Food Festival 2021 will feature a compact programme of food workshops and activities for children and families, as well as some ad hoc events taking place during the ten-day event.
