Syrian Supper Club

The Syrian Supper Club returns to Coffee Saints on Thursday 3 December, from 7pm to 9pm. It's run by the husband-and-wife chef team Noura and Quays, who've become well-known figures on the Edinburgh food scene: between August 2018 and March 2020 they held 26 supper clubs and sold over 500 tickets, making them a sought-after fixture. The menus lean on Noura's award-winning cooking, with her hummus and her famous Maqluba as regulars.

The night runs under the Cyrenians, a charity that supports people taking their first steps on their own food journeys through food-hygiene training, flatpack meal services and community pantries. Coffee Saints itself is Edinburgh's newest social enterprise café, run by the Grassmarket Community Project, a charity that supports some of the city's most vulnerable citizens and receives all the café's profits. The format is that of a classic Edinburgh supper club: an intimate setting, a shared meal by the host chef, and lively conversation to follow.

Tickets are £38, with a reduced rate of £19 for children under 12. You'll find them at Coffee Saints, 2a Little King Street, EH1 3AR, on Thursday 3 December from 7pm to 9pm.
