1
Knight's Kitchen African Street Food
Venue
Oct 18
★★★★★ Lorcan Byway's pick
The hot-food stall I'd queue at first: East African street food, a Stockbridge regular that also pops up in Bellfield Brewery's taproom rotation — proper market cooking, the kind that makes a Sunday feel earned.

Lovely Paella
Venue
Oct 18
★★★★ Lorcan Byway's pick
One wide pan, proper Spanish paella, at Stockbridge on Sundays and Grassmarket on Saturdays — the stall whose steam you smell before you see it.

Au Gourmand Boulangerie
Venue
Oct 18
★★★★★ Lorcan Byway's pick
The bread judge's pick: a working French bakery (est. 2000) on Murieston Lane that bakes slowly and sells at Stockbridge on Sundays — a town judged by its loaves is a town I trust.

Edinburgh Fermentarium — Mac Kimchi
Product
Oct 18
★★★★ Lorcan Byway's pick
Small-batch ferments whose Mac Kimchi is made for 'the deep spicy umami of traditional Korean kimchi' — the jar I'd bring home from the market and keep in the fridge like treasure.
