Street food has made a real name for itself in the city in recent years, with exotic and quirky restaurants and street vendors opening up all the time. The great thing about these street-food vendors is their emphasis on authenticity and the inspiration they draw from the countries of origin, often serving unusual dishes which wow customers\u2019 taste buds.

A bright and bustling restaurant with a mouth-watering array of Indian street food on offer, Tuk Tuk pays homage to the traditional street-food vendors of India who they describe as \u201croad side culinary geniuses\u201d.

Ting Thai Caravan will forever be my favourite place to grab street-food in Edinburgh \u2013 it\u2019s just so good!

\u201cA gluten-free Brasil in a box\u201d \u2013 this pretty much sums up Tupiniquium\u2019s serving style in a nutshell, being literally located in a Green Police Box. This street-food vender in the Edinburgh Meadows serves naturally gluten-free sweet and savoury pancakes with a great selection of fillings as well as memorable names to go along with them (\u2018Marguerita Ta Ta\u2019 and \u2018Juliette, Romeo and Coconut\u2019 are two examples).<\/p>\n

The food is really reasonably priced and you can sample meat-free favourites such as Seitan, Jackfruit and Tofu, as well as other veggie classics. The cocktails come highly recommended to accompany this vegetarian street-food, especially if you like a Bloody Mary!<\/p>\n
Civerinos is an Italian street food and pizza slice bar serving pastas, pizzas, salads and, of course, focaccia. The owners describe their menu as \u201coriginal, modern Italian street-food taken back to its source\u201d, a statement which is reflected in the simple yet delicious ingredients combined in their dishes.
