Two popular Edinburgh eateries were crowned during this year's Scottish Street Food Awards, highlighting the capital's many trailblazing and standard-setting street food restaurants.
The winners were announced on Sunday (June 22) with Smoked Tomago coming away with the coveted Scottish Street Food Award Champion prize.
Originally from Hong Kong, Smoked Tomago specialises in traditional Japanese tamogoyaki, or rolled omelettes. They also offer other authentic Japanese and Korean food.
The pop-up eatery serves food every Tuesday in Edinburgh at the Leith Walk Police Box.
Another Edinburgh favourite, Fire Bowl, also left the awards with a prize after earning the People's Choice award.
Fire Bowl cooks up donburi and the venture launched after its two founders Euan and Andie traveled around South Korea and Japan for three months trying street food. They wanted to bring home the cuisine and add a traditional Scottish twist.
The awards were hosted at The Pitt Market, which hosts a cluster of street food stalls in Granton.
On The Pitt's Instagram, a post read: "It's been a blowout weekend full of great food (and strong winds), but we've had an amazing time hosting some incredible culinary talent here at The Pitt! Congratulations to our incredible winners, and thank you to all the lovely vendors who it's been a pleasure to host.
According to the Pitt's blodg, the awards were selected by a judging panel of Sam Yorke – Head Chef at the Michelin-starred Heron, Jo Laidlaw – The List Edinburgh Food & Drink Editor, Callum Easter – Artist and Musician, Gaby Soutar – The Scotsman Restaurant Reviewer, Navida Galbraith – The Pitt Head of Ops and Programme, and Richard Johnson – Founder of the British Street Food Awards.
