In this episode of Edinburgh Business Stories, we’re joined by Carina Contini - chef, restaurateur, and director of Victor & Carina Contini, one of Scotland’s best-loved hospitality families.

Carina shares a journey steeped in heritage and flavour — from crates of sun-ripened lemons and figs arriving from the markets of Milan, to her grandparents’ adventures on The Queen Mary’s maiden voyage, bringing back the first choc ice machine to Glasgow. She paints vivid memories of childhood summers outside the family café, early lessons in work ethic, and the traditions that have shaped her approach to business.

If you’re passionate about building a values-led brand, balancing heritage with modern business demands, or simply love hearing stories of family, food and resilience, this is one to watch.

This episode of Edinburgh Business Stories is brought to you by Henderson Loggie Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors, who help owner-managed businesses grow—from those first steps as an entrepreneur through to a happy retirement.
