Forever Edinburgh is partnering with the city’s independent bakeries and cafes to launch Edinburgh’s ultimate tasting menu.
Collaborating with eight of the city’s top producers, Forever Edinburgh has created the Ultimate Edinburgh Menu- a unique foodie’s guide offering an alternative take on the traditional tourist map.
Available for download via Forever Edinburgh’s website, this exclusive guide is perfect for visitors looking to savour the city’s finest bakes, brews, and bites.
The menu offers an authentic, insider-led perspective. Each participating business has not only shared its own offerings but has also recommended another must-visit spot in the city.
The result is a trail of unmissable cafes, bakeries, and coffee roasters, curated by those who know Edinburgh’s food scene best.
Celebrating the capital’s blooming cafe culture, the second instalment in the Meet Edinburgh’s Makers series, ‘Bakers and Baristas’, focuses on the city’s talented bakers, baristas, and independent café owners.
It will shine a spotlight on the craftspeople and artisans that have helped shape Edinburgh into one of the UK’s top destinations for food and drink experiences.
Cllr Jane Meagher, leader of the City of Edinburgh Council said: “Edinburgh’s cafe culture is a vibrant part of the city’s charm, from artisan bakeries to speciality coffee houses.
“The Meet Edinburgh’s Makers initiative allows us to champion the talent behind these fantastic businesses and inspire visitors to explore Edinburgh’s thriving cafe scene.
“The Ultimate Edinburgh Menu is a brilliant resource for anyone looking to discover the city’s best-kept foodie secrets.”
Featured in the menu are local favourites Dune Bakery, Twelve Triangles, Mimi’s Bakehouse, Patina, The Bearded Baker, Little Fitzroy, The Kilted Donut and The Milkman.
Lewis Gill, owner of Dune Bakery, said: “Meet Edinburgh’s Makers is a fantastic initiative that celebrates the city’s creative spirit and provides a platform for Edinburgh’s unique independent businesses to showcase their craft.
“We’re proud to be involved in the ‘Bakers and Baristas’ campaign and to be able to highlight the incredible work our team and the city’s talented bakers and baristas create every day.
“It’s wonderful to come together to celebrate the places that make Edinburgh so special and to recognise the passion and craftsmanship behind every bake and brew.
“We hope this campaign inspires visitors to explore Edinburgh’s food and drink scene, and we’re delighted to be featured alongside such an inspiring group of makers.”
’Bakers and Baristas’ is part of the Experience the Beauty campaign, an inbound leisure visitor campaign, which aims to build year-round demand for Edinburgh by showcasing the city’s unique, surprising and memorable experiences.
Cafe culture is a booming sector of Edinburgh’s hospitality industry and ‘Bakers and Baristas’ highlights the city’s diverse and flourishing food scene while supporting local independent businesses.
