Eating fish and chips is synonymous with being British. More than just a national dish, it’s a comfort food, a love affair, a dish that promises to warm the cockles after a hard day. Being truly patriotic is not about knowing the lyrics to God Save the Queen, but about finding the perfect fish and chip shop.

Luckily for the people of Edinburgh, Rainbow Restaurant is one such place. Located on the High Street of Musselburgh, a coastal area just a short drive from the city centre, this place has been a chippy for over 80 years. It has been run by the same family for 30 years, so it’s no surprise they’ve got their fish and chips down to a fine art.

Their fish is fresh and tasty and their chips are perfectly golden and bursting with flavour. They also make incredible homemade pizza, as well as burgers, kebabs and other chippy favourites that are all made from locally sourced produce.

With great food and friendly, efficient service, it’s not hard to see why the place is often abuzz with customers vying for a table at the back of the shop. And if you’re serious about your fish and chips, it’s definitely a table worth fighting for.
