For one week in October, Edinburgh locals will be able to dine out at some of the city’s highest rated restaurants for only £15.

Yelp Eats  is a one-week event giving all locals in Edinburgh the chance to dine at eight of Edinburgh’s finest restaurants with a prix fixe menu of two courses for £15.  The promotion allows local diners to experience some of the best restaurants in the city at a very affordable price, discovering new eateries, whilst supporting the local independent businesses during the quieter months.

Mark Greenaway of Mark Greenaway, No 12 Picardy Place commented:- “I think it is important that restaurants and websites like Yelp work together. The Yelp Eats promotion is a great opportunity for us to work alongside other great restaurants in Edinburgh whilst welcoming new customers.”

The participating restaurants vary in style and taste, from fine dining to casual cuisine and from Italian to Californian, but they all share a common theme: serving delicious dishes crafted with passion and care. The list includes The Atholl, Cafe St Honoré, Calistoga, Circle, First Coast, Locanda de Gusti, Mark Greenaway and The Stockbridge Restaurant. For more information and to see all the Yelp Eats Prix Fixe menus visit the website.
