St Andrews Restaurant in Edinburgh, City of

Great food, portions and service They also do gluten free fish and chips that is done in a separate fryer suitable for celiacs

Always feels like a treat! Food is fresh and of the best quality- fish and chips are perfect. So are the wood fired pizzas.

Very good food polite stuff a menu with a great variety and a kid's menu. We were at Portobello beach and then went to St Andrews Restaurant and it was a great choice.

Haddock was amazing, mushy peas were nearly cold, the service could do with quite a bit of improvement. The waitress was impatient and unwelcoming- the place was empty save for our table of 8 and another couple when we arrived. I wanted truffle chips in place of the regular chips, she said it's not possible. No explanation, nothing further. I asked if they were available, they were. I asked if they can keep the regular and bring just the truffle, she said no. I asked if we had to order separately, she said that's how it had to be. It doesn't have to be a big deal, I'd be happy to pay extra for special chips. The inflexibility and attitude was the most memorable part of the experience dining here and was completely avoidable. If it was up to me, we'd have left based off that. We stayed because we had hungry kids. We paid in full and left a £10 or £15 tip. No gratitude when we left, no warmth, no hospitality. Just attitude. She made sure to count the tips though. We were saying to ourselves that perhaps they're grouchy from nursing a new year's hangover, or maybe they're not happy to work on the first. Customers should ideally be understanding but shouldn't have to make excuses for bad service. The truffle chips were fantastic by the way. I'd recommend for the food, but I won't return for that kind of treatment again.

The food was amazing, would definitely recommend if you want to have a good meal from good people. Staff were very careful and accommodating with our dietary requirements and helped check the ingredients of all the dishes we ordered. Also, their hot fudge chocolate cake was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Could not recommend it more. The cake was moist, not too sweet, and flooded in fudge - the perfect combination. If you’re in town or hanging by the beach, definitely check this place out! 😋

Can be very busy but food we'll worth the wait spaghetti cab is awesome

Having used this chip shop for a number of years - I won’t be back. Over 20 minute wait in the shop for donner kabab pizza which had 1/4 of kabab meat compared with previous orders I have had over the years. The meat was rock hard & uneditable, extremely disappointing.

Good quality and fresh and hot .

Presumably, drivers have access to the save maps that customers specify precise locations. Why don't they use then?

The fish and chips are absolutely amazing. Would also recommend the pizza crunch. It's not on the menu, but a Scottish staple

We ordered fish in breadcrumb and chips. The fish was delicious!!

Normally really good food, but ordered a chicken burger and the roll was stale and extremely hard. Also missing cheese and jalapeños.

Most delicious fish and chip I’ve had!!

Fantastic service. With a load of brilliant food 👌

Ordered a large Donner Kebab with salad and chilli sauce, no salad delivered with order, chilli sauce was a warm tomato sauce? With absolutely no kick. Overall a very disappointing meal. I haven’t had a delivery before as usually would collect however very different quality from collection and delivery.

Can’t order directly online for collection in the afternoon. Have to use just eat or others who rape you for fees just for ordering.

¡Nos encantó! Las pizzas son de 12 pulgadas pero muy llenas. Cometí el error de ponerme de lado de las fichas y no pude terminar todo.

Precioso pescado y patatas fritas y el personal muy amable y servicial. Nos alegramos de haber comido en lugar de optar por comida para llevar. La pequeña porción de pescado era suficiente para nosotros

Visité la comida para llevar como era consciente tenía un buen menú sin gluten. Pedido 3 pizzas GF con papas fritas. Estos eran ligeramente más caros que el menú normal, pero no irrazonables. Habíamos pedido algunos ingredientes que no estaban bajo la bandera de GF (mi pareja puede comer pequeños restos de gluten) y el personal se apresuró a señalar cuáles no eran GF, lo que sería útil para cualquiera que tuviera que descartarlo completamente. La comida estaba deliciosa, e incluso nos echaron una cebolla encurtida gratis en buena medida. Sin duda recomendaría. 😊

The best fish and chips I've ever had!!

Was there on Saturday Great service Great Food fish and chips 6 stars

Very busy at time j went. Great chips! 2.90 for a small portion

chips overcooked chicken dry gravey like water not flavour

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EARLY DELIVERY FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AS WELL

I tried to order on the restaurant’s own app but it wouldn’t let me order salad and sauce with my kebab. So I ordered on just eat. Which at least let me order one sauce. Where I would expect more. Neither salad or sauce arrived. Dry chicken and chips after an hour of waiting. Disappointed.

Hard to find a fish and chips place where you can actually sit down and this place fit the bill. Fish was delicious, crispy batter with light flaky haddock. Delicious mushy peas too. Service was friendly and welcoming, although there was just one waitress for the whole place which seemed to put her under a bit of strain as orders were coming and people wanted to order and pay. She was great though. Good value too.

In absolute shock! Ordered the vegan calzone and was given a calzone w pepperoni in! Disgusted. Haven't eaten meat for over 30 years! Didn't even get an apology. Just an excuse that the pizzas have similar names! Absolutely appalling.

Fresh fish, good pizza, all well served. Recommend to stop here for a tasty food.

Great cozy restaurant with friendly service. The fish was delicious, as was Oscar's homemade ice cream. We went there for dinner three times in one week. Highly recommended.

Some of the tastiest fish and chips I‘ve ever eaten. Such friendly service.

Always a great meal Good Value for money

La comida era excelente, los alrededores eran "no elegantes", pero agradable. Tener la opción de comprar un pez pequeño o grande era una buena idea.

Lovely white fish - crispy chips! All good!

Totally horrendous service with overpriced and poor quality food. To top it off, being sworn at by a member of staff is unacceptable. Given the review when they didn’t allow an elderly gentleman to use their toilets (after spending more than £50 with them) I thought I’d give them another go. Never again.

awful level of toppings on pizzas coupled by a rude and very aggressive delivery driver. Never again.

Down graded - scampi was frozen from a packet and awful’ decent chippie but please don’t order the burger. It came as a fried puck of what animal I’m not sure but very mushy and bland and then was served with the sort of cucumber and cabbage salad you would normally find on a kebab with out a bun? Quite unique to any other cheeseburger I’ve ever ordered. When I asked where the bread was, it was met with a quizzical look and bemusement, as though I had asked for something unreasonable. Again, fine as a chippie but avoid the above option. EDIT: Would also say that fish and chips are done well but with the peas / mushy peas - a little love would be nice? Our were the kinda grey straight out of a can type - be much better with some fresh ones done in some garlic onion butter and mint.

Easily the best takeaway in edinburgh i work a lot and only order from them ! thank u for ur amazing service x

The experience was fine thank you

Very Greasy, chips like cardboard no taste , staff abrupt

Awesome fish and chips, which we took and ate on the beach. Lovely batter and the chips were spot on.

The food was fine I think in keeping with everywhere and everything, the fish was smaller and they were a bit light with the chips. Apart from that I would order again. Ta

Perfect fish and chips with award winning Oscar's ice cream 👍

Chips where not how they normally are pretty disappointing this time around and puts me off coming back

The fish was great, but the chips was disgusting (dry, without any taste)

The staff member was welcoming. He didn't make a fuss accommodating us with a toddler. The food was okay and not worth the price. I've had better fish n chips at the same price, and it hasn't been as painful to pay for. The service was extremely slow, even though it wasn't busy. There was just 1 guy serving all 4 tables, while the other lady was too busy using her phone and didn't bother looking up to see if her colleague/server needed a hand. We kept turning around to catch her attention because we'd been waiting for 20 mins for someone to take our order. The food was prepared and served in time. Overall, the experience was okay. Fish n chips (£15.90) 6/10 Penne pasta (£12.90) 6/10 Kids mac n cheese (£9.50) 4/10 The prices on the website aren't updated.

Quality is really poor for what they are charging. Really poor.

Great fish and chips here, always busy.

A very good fish and Chips gluten-free.

Great fish and chips, huge portions.

Visiting friends who have recently moved to Portobello , we were delighted to discover a chippy that safely catered for coeliacs, separate fryer and separate preparations, realistic prices and tasted delicious, and eaten on the beach

Love this place so much! The food is amazing both sitting in and take away 10/10 The perfect date is fish & chips on the beach We have tried pasta, pizza, kebabs and the ice cream The only negative is trying to make my mind up what to have Amazing staff ☀️☀️☀️

Fresh delicious food!! No more needs said! Breaded haddock was perfection!

From the staff To the cleanliness of restaurant To the lovely cooked meals Lovely sized and tasting coffee. To music in background Everything is done brilliant in this restaurant.. Reasonable priced as well

Great place to eat. My daughter who is gluten free had a great choice 👍. Food was lovely great portion sizes too.

Great food, 👍, friendly atmosphere 😋

Tried the fried burger and chips. First time trying it, and I will eat it again.

St Andrews is always quality food and service.

Lasagna was lovely but side salad was brown and had a black slimy piece of lettuce in. (£3.50) Not nice. When we mentioned, the waitress would not do anything about it. Very disappointed. Carbonara had little sauce and con pesto was barely warm. Not recommended

Service a toll sham, they say cake comes in already sliced got cake couple of weeks ago. They don’t have any manners to customers person I had the unfortunate pleasure was very unpleasant I hope people who are thinking about going to St Andrews Portobello I would say go somewhere else

Haddock was amazing and reasonably priced for being such close proximity to the sea

The fish and chips were great, but the service was terrible. It's impossible to get a refill because our server rarely came around and had waited almost 45 minutes just for the check. Keep in mind there are only a few tables sat. I don't know if it's because I'm from out of the country, but this is actually ridiculous. The table next to us came in close to us being done eating and still got the check and left before us. Our server even looked at us multiple times, and we tried getting her attention but just to be ignored. Great food but the worst server I have ever had, and I work in a kitchen, so I would know a good or a bad server. All in all, if you are planning to be there with a party of two for two hours, then be my guest. I'm not, so I'll never dine here ever again. I am posting this soon after leaving.

Dry burger. Think it’s been cooking for days. Chips fine but definitely won’t order again

St Andrew's Restaurant and Takeaway, Portobello I recently had the pleasure of visiting St Andrew's Restaurant and Takeaway in Portobello, and it was a delightful experience. The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the mushy peas and large fish. The chips were fresh, crispy, and perfectly cooked, showcasing the quality of their oil. Each bite was a perfect balance of crunch and fluffiness, making it hard to stop eating them. The mushy peas were equally impressive, providing a classic accompaniment that was both flavorful and well-prepared. To top it all off, the curry sauce was amazing, adding a rich, savory depth to the meal that complemented the other elements perfectly. Overall, St Andrew's Restaurant and Takeaway stands out for its excellent quality and attention to detail. Whether you're a local or just passing through Portobello, it's a must-visit for anyone craving top-notch fish and chips. Highly recommended!

Gluten free fish supper was skelping, will be back!

Delicious fresh fish and chip supper

One of the best fish&chips in the UK. a little expensive but worth it.

Best Chippy in Porty hands down. Clean, efficient, great service and really lovely fish always. Always good when there's a choice for breadcrumbs!

Great place, great food, so handy for the beach, very wide choice on the menu, it’s not just another seaside fish and chip place

Great that they do gluten free options. Just lacking lots of flavour, can taste the oil that’s about it.

Great food, quick service and good selection of Gluten free food.

Great place to eat fresh fish, very nice. Maybe you don't like sitting on the side of the road

still waiting,,,,now 1 hour 20 mins late

Great food. Good service. Well priced for the experience. I can recommend St Andrews Restaurant. We felt welcomed like guests.

Witnessed racism towards a Muslim delivery driver when a customer rudely asked him to move his car, then the blonde female employee was rude to him and then an obese white male customer unleashed a aggressive torrent of abuse at him. His shouting was so loud it could be heard down the street. The management did nothing to intervene. A really ugly disturbing scene and clear racism was tolerated.

Awesome food, very hot and fresh, soooo tasty. Fantastic, best take away anywhere around Edinburgh

Great food, busy so had a bit of a wait. Super nice staff.

Really impressed as this order was delivered early. The portion sizes are large. Well worth the money .

Great little eat-in place with really good fish and chips

The fish was not too good sadly, chips were also dry and not very pleasant. A right shame as I love St Andrews

Just waited 35mins for a take away including oven pizza. It was empty when I went in the shop. The pizza was ready after 15 mins, but left for a further 20mins before I was served rest of food. Forgotten about whilst more people came in. Pizza was cold by the time I got it. Poor apology for the wait, no compensation. Just cold food.

Excellent cuisine. The food was delicious and the desert simply fantastic. The atmosphere was perfect and the music was ot so loud something which allowed you to chat with your company. Though I am a tourist I recommend to the locals Scottish. Finley thanks for the service. You were absolutely perfect.

Fantastic food and service. It is expensive to sit in and was empty

Great looking takeaway place but when I received my fish and got into my car, the fish proceeded to jump around. I think it may have been raw.

Amazing service! Staff very friendly and polite. Food terrific, one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Fish fresh and chips are sooooo tasty!!

St Andrews chippy is always quality food. I've never been disappointed

Popped in today for a bite to eat, the food was beautiful, and fairly priced the waitress was nice and accommodating. Not many chip shops do a menu like this gem of a place. Will be back for a feast soon. Keep up the good work. 👍

We booked this in advance of our trip to Edinburgh and are glad we did as it isn't very big and was fully booked. We thought this was a fish and chip restaurant as it has a chip shop attached, but the restaurant part is more of an Italian. The menu was reasonably limited but the quality of the food was great Prices were a little on the high side.

Best fish and chips in UK. Literally do not have to say more than that

We was there for a late lunch on Saturday.we sit inside 😋 and was fantastic 😀 food and servis great 👍 👌 😀 waitress was super friendly for kids and us. I'm asking for other drink,and she's forgot but ,I'm understand and waiting she's was super busy because came so many people. She was alone. 5☆ thank you

Best Fish and Chips in Edinburgh! Large portion, fresh and crispy fish (and chips). They have very good Ice cream too. Unfortunately, 3 out of 4 times I bought ice cream here, the girls don’t know how much they should get for customers… it is ridiculously little!!! Oscars Ice cream is very good but i recommend to go to the one on Brighton place. I got so so so disappointed paying £5 for a tiny bit of ice cream on the cone. Not to mention the staffs touch cash and till etc then still use their bare hands holding my ice cream cone!! I would never ever come back for ice cream here but still give the place 4 stars for their yummy chippy!

Ordered a burger with cheese, onion and bacon and received a plain burger (no cheese, onion or bacon). Other than that disappointment, other items nice and hot and order was ready on time

Walked in for chips and pizza. Both undercooked. Waste of money.

Honestly one off the best take aways I’ve had in years delivery drives are always so nice and polite and came exactly on time one off my favorite places to order from

Batter was little bit dry. Haggis was really good.

Fish didn't taste that great, edible but not the freshest and batter was abit soggy , think it had been sitting around as got served instantly, 1.40 for awful tartare sauce was the deciding factor I won't be returning

One of the best fish and chips in Edinburgh really recommend. Great homemade curry sauce too.

Wasn’t happy as my order wasn’t even cooked when I arrived for my order.

Good little restaurant offering pizza, pasta, fish and chips. The pizzas were good, the service pleasant, the prices affordable.

I don't mind if it comes early and not late

I would highly recommend this restaurant, everything was very satisfying
