This intimate and friendly Scottish restaurant is an experimental space where informal dining has been made luxurious with simplistic plating, well-balanced dishes and artful flavour combinations.

The studio is all about having fun and exploring something new in the culinary arts and that playful nature is communicated into the dishes Edinburgh Food Studio serves. Experience the community atmosphere with the barn-style restaurant, featuring green wooden panelled walls, candlelit farm-style benches where you can break bread with your fellow diners.
Open for breads and coffees Wednesday to Sunday from 10am until 5pm and dinner from 7pm Wednesday to Saturday. From Thursday to Sunday, diners can stop by for lunch from 12-2.30pm. Edinburgh Food Studio takes an honest approach to the food they serve, open about where the meat was sourced and who is cooking the meals. The restaurant wouldn’t be here without its people: it is crowdfunded and through this, provides a vital food research hub for the Edinburgh foodie community.
Enjoy a high quality and beautifully presented dish that has been mulled over, tasted, tested and ticked for a great menu addition. Edinburgh Food Studio’s menu is constantly evolving, but always includes fresh produce and skilful cookery. The restaurant majors in providing broadly termed Scottish cuisine, using the freshest cuts of meat and fish, all of which are cooked experimentally by curing, salting, smoking and even more techniques. The pheasant, veal, and duck are always great choices, with the barbequed mutton also topping the list. You may come across the cherry blossom ice-cream which is a fan favourite. Be sure to see what this week’s tasting menu has in store.
