In the heart of Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, Landys Fish and Chips is a bold reimagining of the beloved British chippy, where tradition meets modern flair. Set within a spacious two-storey site on North Bridge, this vibrant restaurant is the latest venture from the Vittoria Group, a trusted name in Scottish hospitality with roots in Leith dating back over 50 years.
The menu puts quality and comfort front and centre, with a focus on sustainably sourced haddock cooked the old-fashioned way: crisp battered fillets fried in beef dripping and served with chunky chips and a splash of tangy Edinburgh chippy sauce. There’s also variety for every palate, with options like oven-baked haddock seasoned with lemon and herbs, spicy Cajun-style fish, or a plant-based “fish” alternative for vegan diners. Landys nods to Scottish chip shop staples with battered sausage, haggis, black pudding and even the infamous deep-fried Mars Bar - a tongue-in-cheek treat for visitors and locals alike. Comfort food classics such as steak pie, macaroni cheese, and haggis, neeps and tatties round out the offering, along with a rotating daily pie for those after something a little different.
The interior channels seaside nostalgia with a playful maritime theme, navy and red tones, knotted ropes, anchor motifs, and an open kitchen that adds energy and theatre to the dining space. With seating for up to 200 across two floors, Landys is as suited to family outings and casual lunches as it is to late-night pit stops.
Balancing affordability with a high-quality, feel-good menu, Landys delivers a fresh take on the humble chippy, honouring the past while giving it a modern Edinburgh edge. A must-visit for anyone craving proper fish and chips with character and charm.
