First Table is officially launching its popular restaurant discovery platform in Scotland next week.
Edinburgh and Glasgow food lovers now have an exciting new way to explore the cities’ thriving dining scenes. Starting April 9, diners can take advantage of First Table’s signature offer: 50% off the food bill for two, three, or four guests as a reward for dining at an off-peak time.
Already present in nine locations across the U.K., the platform provides an innovative approach to dining and restaurant discovery, making it ideal for diners eager to explore new restaurants and cuisines while staying connected to Edinburgh and Glasgow’s evolving culinary scenes.
The offer is simple: book an off-peak table through the platform and enjoy 50% off the food bill for two to four diners. Sign-up is free, and diners pay a booking fee of between £4 to £8 to secure the offer (drinks are regular price).
Mat Weir, CEO and founder of First Table, is excited to offer First Table to Scotland’s food lovers. “We’re delighted to connect diners with the vibrant culinary scene in these two cities. After all, they’re ranked among the top food destinations in the U.K.,” he notes. “First Table is all about helping people discover great new restaurants, and we’re excited to introduce our concept to Scotland.”
First Table is proud of its win-win approach, delivering a great experience for both diners and restaurateurs alike. “Becoming a restaurant partner is completely free; there are no sign-up fees or commission, just great exposure,” says Weir. “The platform connects our restaurant partners with diners looking for somewhere to dine out, making it easier for foodies to try new spots and for restaurants to be discovered.”
Among the restaurants joining on April 9, are Laila Cockburn and Laila New Town, two foodie hotspots where the ambience is just as captivating as the cuisine. The venues are owned and operated by Edinburgh-based directors Sabrina Gali and Lisa Cairns. “We’re thrilled to bring Laila to First Table Diners and join as a restaurant partner from day one,” says Sabrina. “It’s a no-brainer for us to be on the platform and offer our off-peak tables, to create a buzz early on in our shift,” she adds.
Food lovers will be able to explore a vibrant mix of dining experiences, from laid-back taquerias to dynamic, ever-evolving menus crafted by artisan chefs. Of course, some classic local venues are included, where local talent and traditional Scottish cuisine take centre stage.
First Table launched in Queenstown and is available across the U.K., New Zealand, and Australia. The platform has over 2,500 restaurants and two million foodies in its community worldwide. You can read more about the First Table story via: www.firsttable.co.uk/our-story
