Bertie's Proper Fish & Chips 9 Victoria Street, Edinburgh EH1 2HE

"The staff was nice and I was there at Christmas Eve, even being packed, they were able to make a good service. I didn’t like the squid at all, was a weird texture when you chew, like seems you chewing forever and it’s hard to finish and swallow. It was my second time eating fish and chips, it was ok but not great, it was kinda of flavorless. The sauces that came with the squid and fish was very good. Overall was not the worst food I had but I wouldn’t come back. I spent 31,74£ for um person with tip"

"If you have only one chance of meal while in Edinburgh, make sure you try fish and chips in Bertie’s. It has the best fish and chips. The fish are fresh and taste really good. Your first choice should be Breaded, with not so thick flour so it good seasoned. If you want to more healthy, you can try Baked. The place is nice and comfortable. The staff is very friendly."

"Overall great experience with minor room for improvement: 1. The food is excellent. Really tasty, piping hot and huge portions. The portions are almost an issue, to be honest: I saw tons of plates being taken back to the kitchen with leftover fries, including mine. The portions are hard to eat by yourself so it seems like food waste when it’s clear they are too big. You can, however, ask to take things away in case you don’t finish them! 2. The drinks were nice, we ordered a lager and a cider: both tasty. 3. The atmosphere itself is great, everything works smooth and very fast despite the huge size of the restaurant. There was a small wait of about 10 minutes for us on a Sunday night, but the service after we were seated was really fast. Note that there is a discretionary 10% charge added to your bill without notice! The waiter at our table told us when the bill was brought, and asked if we’d like to take it away - but that felt like guilt tripping. That’s the reason I’m giving 4 ⭐️ and not 5. Overall - great spot!"

"Excellent fish and chips….probably the best I’ve had (especially since I travelled from the US). Fish can be traditionally prepared, breaded of even baked. Other selections available (pies, burgess and chicken) for non fish eaters. Nice selection of beer, cocktails and wines. Atmosphere was fun, friendly and efficient. Expect to pay around 15£ per meal."

"The food was excellent, we got 3 fish and chips and 1 steak pie. The steak pie was OK but I should have went with the fish and chips as it was so much better. Atmosphere was good and service was good. My reason for no 5 star was the discretionary service charge already added to our bill! This is not normal practice and if it wasn't for my wife paying the bill as part of a birthday weekend I would have asked this be removed. The customer should decide the tip!"
