L'alba D'oro - Edinburgh

Used to be one of the best chippies in Edinburgh sadly no longer. Quality of food not nearly as good as it used to be, prices up and customer service non existent. Why close 20 mins earlier than advertised.

Fish and chips and battered mushrooms are delicious. Avoid the onion rings as the cheapest frozen rings from Lidl are far better. Prices have gone up everywhere but 12.50 seems high for fish and chips. Most important, double-check your order before you leave. I was very disappointed when I got home to find they left the chips out of my bag. When I went back. they refused to replace them. There are lots of glowing reviews and recommendations posted on the walls, but none are recent. L'Alba d'Oro has been my go-to chippy for 14 years after trying many in Edinburgh but I'm going to try out a few others now.

I can honestly say this is the most over priced chippy I have ever been to. Ordered 2 fish suppers, 2 southern fried chicken suppers (which was 5 chicken bites per supper) 2 tubs of garlic mayo 4 cans of juice £57 I could not believe it. The fish suppers were excellent nice fresh fish with lovely batter but very modest portion size for £12.50 £2.50 for a tub of garlic mayo is just unacceptable

This fish and chip shop closes way too early for Scotlands capital city, 9:30 pm is the current closing time and that’s even throughout the Edinburgh fringe! Crazy. I turned up at 9:20pm for a takeaway and was abruptly told “We are closing!” Very rude and not customer friendly. The food is expensive, but quality is good, pity about opening times and customer service. There are a lot of options for takeaway food, so this restaurant needs to step up.

Food decent but vastly overpriced in comparison with competitors. £12.50 for a Fish Supper! £9+ for frozen chicken breast pieces. £2.50 for Garlic Mayo, £2.90 for a wee tub of cheese. No need for prices like this. Food decent, nothing out of the ordinary though and why put chips on top of the fish?! Going downhill overall.
