We are delighted to present the results of our 2025 Eat Out Edinburgh campaign!
It’s clear that March was a standout month for the city centre, with over 50 special offers from a diverse range of restaurants and bars. The campaign was once again overwhelmingly positive, drawing locals and visitors alike to explore Edinburgh’s vibrant food and drink scene.
Thanks to the enthusiastic participation of our hospitality partners and the support of the community, the campaign brought a welcome boost to the city centre, celebrating local flavours and encouraging people to dine out.
Here are some highlights from the report:
- £160 average spend per booking, with 60% using two or more Eat Out Edinburgh offers
- 31% increase in bookings year-on-year for participating businesses in March
- 14.6% increase in hospitality sales year-on-year for March 2025, with retail sales up 2.4% year-on-year
- 75% of Eat Out Edinburgh participants also went shopping in the city centre, spending an average of £135 per person
