Eat Out Edinburgh returns this March with participating restaurants including Dishoom and The Balmoral
Eat Out Edinburgh returns to the capital in March, with more than 50 venues expected to take part in the month-long promotion.
Locals and visitors can take advantage of exclusive deals, special menus and curated experiences from some of the capital’s best bars and restaurants, including Dishoom, Sushisamba and The Balmoral.
Emily Campbell Johnston, senior manager of marketing and communications at Essential Edinburgh, said: “Last year’s campaign really demonstrated the power of Eat Out Edinburgh, not just in driving bookings but in encouraging people to spend more time in the city centre. Seeing a 31 per cent increase in bookings shows the real impact this initiative has on our hospitality businesses at a time when restaurants need the most support.
“With an exciting mix of returning favourites and new openings joining the campaign this year, we’re confident 2026 will offer something for everyone – from impromptu lunches to celebratory dinners – giving locals, workers and visitors even more reasons to explore all the experiences our city centre offers, and support our hospitality sector.”
Eat Out Edinburgh 2026 will showcase a diverse mix of restaurants, cafés and bars across Princes Street, George Street, St Andrew Square and the St James Quarter. Popular city favourites like Dishoom, Hawksmoor, Contini, Sushisamba and more will return alongside a strong line-up of new additions for 2026.
Restaurants joining for the first time include Brasserie Prince at The Balmoral, Assaggini, The Garden at The Kimpton, The Caley Bar, Miele and Wahaca.
A full list of participating venues and offers will be available soon on the Eat Out Edinburgh website, featuring exclusive menus, events and deals.
Founded in 2022 by Essential Edinburgh , the city’s Business Improvement District (BID), the campaign encourages people to explore new cuisines while taking advantage of discounts and limited-time offers.
