# Dine & Drink at Four Hidden Gem Restaurants in Edinburgh

**Guidekin's take:** Eat across four Edinburgh restaurants on a private tour for your party, with scope to adapt the stops to your interests. Food equivalent to a full meal, paired drinks for adults and hotel pickup are included; moderate fitness is required for the walking. 4.91 from 229 reviews at €282 per person for 2h–4h.

## Overview

Edinburgh's first food tour in 2011 - Eat Walk is locally owned.

We share the story of the city through food and drink and enjoy access to small locally owned restaurants, wine bars, breweries, distilleries and members only venues.

We love what we do and our philosophy is to deliver happiness to you, our guests, the venues we work with and ourselves in the work that we do.

Private tours can be customised to suit your interests. Our standard tour format includes a walking tour, visits to four restaurants with seated reservations to enjoy a full meal with paired drinks.

The food we typically include is a mixture of traditional Scottish cuisine, family favourite comfort foods and the unexpected.

Expect tutored drinks tastings. We specialise in revealing how much you already know. We'll ask you the right questions that unlock your hidden sommelier talents introducing you to small local producer whisky, cider, beer and soft drinks. Customise to include fine wine, whisky or gin.

## Itinerary

1. **West End** (1h) - Ever wondered why the West End in British cities is wealthier than the East End? Discover the story and the hidden local gems of Edinburgh's West End - home to consulates, fine dining and stunning architecture.
2. **New Town** (1h) - Although newer than the Old Town, the New Town is over 200 years old. With buildings inspired by Athens, this was once a residential suburb and now home to the best shopping, eating and drinking in the city.
