Gabriel Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Post match I always favoured 'The Gorgie' on Gorgie Road and dining al fresco beneath the spire of Gorgie Parish Kirk. However, my taste buds had already been devastated by the rot which passed as beer in the Tynecastle Arms, so my assessment could be as clouded as the aforementioned drink.

When it comes to fish, the Tailend's fish is the best. I would highly recommend the battered Hake or an Abroath Smokie. I love the Haggis and Chicken from L'alba D'oro also.

Denny Crane Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Franco does not run the chippy anyway. And he is not a real hibby. He is. Many years ago we had a cracking debate whether or not a John Collins goal against us was right to be disallowed (0-0 August '88 game at Easter Road). Even with the promise of extra broon sauce and another white pudding, I stood firm (under severe temptation I can tell you). I take it he's delegated the chippy to one of the family? Does he still have that restaurant/bistro on the go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he still have that restaurant/bistro on the go? He certainly is not what you would call a 'Hibee' in my opinion (and I know him quite well) but he will argue over pretty much anything. The chippy has always been run by his brother (Nino) and Nino's son Vincenzo. Franco runs the resteraunt and bistro next door (San Marco) The chippy is only called Francos because that is the Fathers name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly it has been a few years since my last visit to Comely Bank as the family have all left the area. Given that I grew up in England, a proper puddin' supper was very much anticpated when we would go back to Edinburgh to visit the relatives and Franco's always hit the spot.

Therapist Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 You, sir, are a man of taste and distinction. L'alba d'oro is indeed the finest chip shop in Edinburgh. You've obviously never met him. As for the Peacock, great shout but it's not a "chippy". And the meal that's referried to is the "whale". Two "man size" portions of haddock. Tremendous.

jambos are go! Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 The recently opned Tailend on Leith Walk is head and shoulders above any any other traditional chippie in Edinburgh. It's raised the bar and has to be tried before you decide IMO. Moving away from traditional Chippies I had tremendous Haddock, Mushy peas and Chips at the Loch Fine Restaurant at Newhaven last week. Normally only available on a Tuesday but presently on the lunch time specials. Two courses, good bread and butter and a glass of wine for ?11. Outstanding.
