Bene's

I popped into Bene's for a quick take away 'Tea' on my way to a gig at the Voodoo Rooms recently. I was really glad that I visited Bene's as the staff were chatty, friendly and knowledgeable about the 35 years history of the take away and the area. I found out that I was talking to the Italian founder Beneditto's Daughter, lovely lassie. Great tasty food, generous portion for a good price especially during these scary economic times. Bene's has great people friendly staff which is hard to find these days sadly so as Arnie Schwarzenegger would say = 'I'll be back'! 😆

Bene’s - rated one of the best Fish and chips shops in Edinburgh. I visited during December 2021, the portions are huge and delicious, the fish is freshly fried, it’s set in a box and then wrapped with paper (Bring your own Takeaway bag). I had the fried Mars bar there a while back. That is certainly yummy as well. Easy to find, it’s down the Royal Mile just a little ways before you get to Hollyrood Palace.

Wanted to try a deep fried Mars bar whilst up in Scotland so decided to go here as they were offering them. Safe to say that the Mars bar was not the highlight of the visit. The onion rings were amazing, the burger was great for a takeaway burger and the mixed kebab had good reviews from my other half The Mars bar was good but it was great that it came with so much other good food. Staff had a good chat with us and we're very friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

Stumbled across this place whilst walking up the Royal Mile. First time In Edinburgh and had a deep fried Mars bar on my bucket list! The team were really friendly and the shop was spotless. Didn't take longer than a couple of minutes to get a freshly fried Mars bar. Would recommend this place to anyone who's visiting and is looking to try one too!

It's been a long time since I enjoyed fish and chips that much. I ordered Cod because I am not such a huge fan of Haddock, but unfortunately it had run out, but a very nice phone call and Haddock it was. The other half had a battered Haggis... Now he's a fussy old stick at the best of times, but he thought it was fab. Back though to the fish. My old dad used to deliver fish to shops back in the 60's, so knows a thing or two about the right way to cook battered fish.. When I described the fack that there was hardly any grease, the fish held its shape, the batter was crisp, the fish was nice and light, his words were the same as mine. Finally someone who actually knows how to fry fish properly. Needless to say, I am now a fan of Haddock. But only from here. We also had cheese cake. My god, amazing. What ever you are doing, keep doing it! Sounds like almost a side note, but still important - a Saturday night in Edinburgh - delivery estimate was 7 30.. It arrived and was up in the hotel room by 7.28. I usually don't give top marks, but when you can't a single thing wrong, especially in the quality, top marks it must be!!!
