I absolutely loved my experience at East Coast. My sister found them on instagram, and as we were staying at Portobello so it was only a short drive, and there is a free car park a few minutes walk away. We went for the afternoon sea which was delicious. The haddock was cooked perfectly. The cake at the end was delicious. The staff also were so very friendly. The decor was great and loved the lighting. Anyone visiting the Edinburgh area. I recommend a drive to Musselburgh to visit East Coast.

I eat & lot of fish & This is the best Fish & chips I’ve had in Edinburgh & the Lothian's for years. I’ve been approx 10 times now & can’t fault it. The fish is always fresh & cooked to perfection. Staff are always friendly and very accommodating. Would highly recommend.

East Coast absolutely do deliver when it comes to belly busting takeaways and meals in the restaurant but they also cater for wee-er appetites too and I was delighted to see them introduce their Afternoon Sea (£17.50pp) recently which includes (not that this is wee in anyway!) wee battered haddock twice cooked chips homemade mushy peas house tartare sauce homemade pickled onions lemon wedge sourdough bread and butter pot of tea sweet treat of the day You can upgrade to a Royal Afternoon Sea with a glass of Prosecco for an additional £3.50pp. There are restrictions on this - Afternoon Sea is only available Friday to Sunday between 2:30pm and 4:30pm but you should definitely fit this into your weekend plans. It’s so bloody good! Firstly, plenty of sourdough bread and butter at the table. The bread is fresh, slightly chewy and so good with fish n chips. The fish is a perfect size, its fresh and coated in the most crunchy, non greasy batter. Breaking this piece of fish open will bring you immense happiness. The chips are big n fat n fluffy and so good for dunking into the mushy peas or for building that ultimate chip butty! The peas were so good, I asked for another small bowl! With a short break after demolishing your fish supper, the staff are kind enough to give you a wee break before bringing you tea and cake. The staff do ask you in what order/how you would like to have your Afternoon Tea. We chose to have the fish supper first, then tea and cake. You could of course have your tea with your fish supper followed by cake or have your tea and cake first. It’s totally up to you and the staff are so brilliant that they’ll accommodate your choice any which way. Cake was a vanilla sponge slice with cream and blueberries. It was light, slightly sweet and went down so well with a fantastic cup of tea! The Afternoon Sea gave me so much joy and we raised a wee cuppa in remembrance of my mum! This deal is great value for money and you’ll leave with a very full and happy belly. Seriously, get booking!

Went to the East Coast for lunch for the very first time after seeing its excellent reviews on various sources. We had the set lunch menu - mussels (both tomato and white sauces) were amazing! The wee fish n chips were fantastic and in spite of the name being wee, it was actually a decent size. The fish was very fresh and cooked beautifully! The beer batter was simply amazing! The minty mushy pea was out of this world! The king prawns calamari was excellent too! The team was very welcoming and attentive. We will definitely be coming back to try other items on their extensive menu!

The foods are super! Came here for their fish and chips. Turned out every dish we ordered was amazing. And their price is reasonable comparing to other fancy restaurants serving so-so quality foods. Will come back again. Especially want to try their mussel Wednesday or oyster happy hour!!🤩🤩

Had α fantastic meal here last month. I ordered the mussels and husband had α fish platter. Both dishes were cooked very well and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered α cocktail which was also well made. The restaurant was fully booked but that did not impact the service. The servers were polite and friendly and we did not have to wait for long to receive drinks and food. I would recommend booking on α weekend evening.

Taking fish and chips to the next level! My prayers to the gluten free gods have been answered and I've found a GLUTEN FREE FISH SUPPER! I'm delighted. It's a smart establishment with parking just outside. It's disabled friendly with step free wheelchair access. It's been a long time since I had a fish and chips where the fish fills the box, and I'm happy to report that the fish did here. The gluten free batter was light and crisp. I'm definitely going back!

Friendly service, reasonable prices, good takeaway fish & chips from the restaurant kitchen. Accommodating for a drop-in group of 14 but need to pre-book the weather 🙂

We had an incredible family meal here with such great service. The waiter was so nice and couldn’t fault the bubbly, attentive service. The food was also incredible and will definitely be coming back. Huge compliments to the establishment for a lovely meal!

Really exceptionally good. Nice, bright, modern interior. Food very good (not Michelin star, but better than pretty much anything else in the area) with emphasis in Italian / seafood. Staff polite and efficient. Decent value.

The initial service was very slow and took far too long to place our order, even though the place was relatively quiet. Waiting staff lacked customer focus. However the food was served quickly following the order being taken. The fish was top quality as was the goats cheese starter. Shame that the amazing food is let down by poor service.

We Ordered a haddock and smoked haddock supper, amazing and the best fish we have eaten in a long time, as good or better than the Oregon Smoke House, in USA, or Doyle's in Sydney harbour, AUS. The prawns were also very delicious, XL and juicy, the beer batter had great flavour. Would give 5 stars, but the twice cooking in the chips was not evident, they were only average. Would definitely return and hope that we do!

This was the first time we had picked up food from East Coast and we will definitely be back. Despite it being a busy Friday evening, the service was good and the quality of the food was excellent. Considering this I would love to dine in soon. But this time we picked up the food and sat by the waterfront, 5 minutes walk away to eat our dinner.
