Marchmont Takeaway

Marchmont Takeaway on Marchmont Road is a traditional Scottish chip shop serving the Victorian tenement neighbourhood that wraps around the south side of the Meadows. The shop is independent and has built a strong local following — 92% of customers recommend it across 32 reviews — with the breadcrumbed haddock supper singled out as reliably good. The kitchen also runs a notably large vegan menu, cooked separately, with regulars praising the tofu fish and vegan wings as genuinely better than most of what passes for vegan fish and chips in Edinburgh. Batter is light and crispy when fresh; collection tends to get more consistent feedback than delivery. Marchmont Road itself is one of Edinburgh's best-maintained tenement high streets, and the takeaway sits in the heart of a community that values independent local businesses.
