Bertie's Proper Fish & Chips

Proper fish and chips, sitting down

The menu centres on fish and chips made with sustainably sourced fish, served with Scottish-inspired sides and sauces, plus a separate drinks menu. There is a kids' menu and plenty of room, so it works well for families who want a proper meal at a table rather than eating out of a paper wrapper in the street. It is a casual place, so there is no need to dress up after a morning of sightseeing.

Groups and private dining

Bertie's belongs to the Vittoria Group, a family of Edinburgh restaurants. Its main private area holds up to 250 guests and a smaller room seats up to 14, which makes it a practical choice for a school trip, a team outing or a large family celebration in the Old Town. Group enquiries are handled through the website.

Where it fits in your day

Victoria Street curves down from George IV Bridge towards the Grassmarket, and Bertie's is a few minutes' walk from Camera Obscura, the Scotch Whisky Experience and St Giles' Cathedral. It makes an easy lunch stop after the castle end of the Royal Mile. Book ahead at busy times of year, or order for collection if you would rather keep exploring.
