I used to live round the corner from this place and can confirm that it deserves all the praise it has been getting. It does have a wide range of products outside the remit of your average chippy and this adds to it's charm. The £185 bottle of brandy I would suggest is amongst it's most unusual. A must visit place and worth the walk down Dundas St from the city centre.
Best Fish & Chips in Edinburgh... Probably. I've seen good cases made for the Tailend down in Leith, but for me, l'Alba d'Oro is the best chippy in town.
It is primarily a takeway, but it does have very limited bar seating. It does all the chip shop classics brilliantly, with crisp batter and perfectly executed chips. It also specializes in more exotic fayre, with everything from crocodile to shark having featured on the menu.
The other stand out though is the wine list, no you didn't need that wrong, the wine list. It has a thoughtfully put together selection of wines (and beers), particularly Italian, which you can takeaway. It has to be the only place you can get Cod & Chips and bottle of Krug. For this alone, its stands above all the rest.
A great place nice servers and great fish. Has some banging tunes being played. The workers work well together handling customers. 5/5
