Takeaway review An expansion of L'Alba d'Oro, the fish and chip ship next door famed for a menu and extensive wine list that tosses up combinations like crocodile and chips washed down with a bottle of Krug, Anima also goes beyond the conventional, offering pasta dishes, toasted ciabattas, burgers, soups and sandwiches as well as pizzas.

The pizzas are undoubtedly stars of the show, but the pasta dishes are lent real punch by their authentically Italian ingredients.

Toasted sandwiches, burgers and items from L'Alba d'Oro's menu can all be ordered for delivery, though these items understandably don't travel so well.

With wines, beers and desserts all available along with your order Anima delivers on it's promise of delivering Italian 'Soul Food' to your door.

This New Town institution has an enviable reputation and Scottish staples are by no means the only game in town – as the name suggests, battered stalwarts are supplemented by an impressive selection of Italian offerings from the sister restaurant, Anima, next door.

But spare a thought for the City’s humble chippies – those over the counter heroes offering some of the finest fish suppers you’re likely to find anywhere.

‘Chippy sauce’ is the brown runny lifeblood of Edinburgh’s chip shops and is truly an Edinburgh-only affair.

It’s all well and good being recognised by the locals, but Edinburgh’s fish and chip offerings have achieved national acclaim.

The New Town fish bar has gained UK-wide acclaim, having previously sold fast-food versions of crocodile, ostrich and venison and kangaroo next to the usual chippie fare and was recently named the UK’s number one chip shop by The Times.

The previous holder of the title of ‘Edinburgh’s oldest supper’ was Brattisani’s – a family-owned busineess who claimed to be the city’s first ever chip shop, having originally opened on Church Lane when Brattisani senior moved to the city from Italy in 1904.

The combination of crispy batter and salted chips can be found on menus in pubs, cafeterias and high-end restaurants but can you ever beat a chippy straight from the fish and chip shop?

A popular destination in the city is Eatalia’s who scooped the Edinburgh Evening News Chip Shop of the Year award in April.

The Tailend is one of the Edinburgh’s most highbrow fish shops.

Their servings of fish are coated in crispy batter keeping the taste fresh, while the chips are fried in beef dripping for added taste.

Having called Edinburgh home for the past 40 years, L’Alba D’Oro is a popular destination for fans of the fish.
