Rainbow Restaurant & Takeaway

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 of your heart after a hard day. To be truly patriotic, it’s 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. The current owners, the Cerasuolo family, have been there for 30 years and have got their fish and chips down to a fine art.

The fish is fresh and tasty, their chips creamy and bursting with flavour. They also make incredible home-made pizza (crisp pizza crust on the outside, with just a hint of doughy texture on the inside – perfect!) and their menu boasts of burgers, kebabs and other chippy favourites, all made from locally-sourced produce.

With such great food and friendly, efficient service, it’s no surprise that the place is often abuzz with customers vying for a table at the back of the shop. And if you’re patriotic about being British, and about your fish and chips, it’s definitely a table worth fighting for.
