Edinburgh Street Food (ESF) is a year-round, covered street food market in central Edinburgh, Scotland. It was opened in February 2023 inside the Omni Centre on Leith Street.[1]
Edinburgh Street Food is part of Carlowrie Group.[2]
Prior to ESF, Edinburgh's street food scene relied on seasonal events such as the Pitt Street Food Market, which closed in 2021.[3] Former city residents Andrew Marshall and Ben MacMillan envisioned a weather-proof, European-style market that could operate year-round, and they developed it on a site in the Omni Centre that had been unused for over a decade.[4] It was officially inaugurated on 25 February 2023.[5][6] Due to his contributions to Edinburgh's street food scene, Andrew Marshall was included in The List Hot 100 2023.[7]
Venue
ESF occupies a self-contained corner of the Omni Centre with its own street-level entrance. More than 200 seats are provided in a neon-lit food hall, with a further 250 on the heated, covered terrace.[8] Three bars focus on Scottish craft drinks, about 70 percent of draught beer coming from Edinburgh breweries.[1]
