I can't review their food because it was not ever delivered. Placed an order at 6:20 online…read moreconfirmation said delivery by 7:35. By 8:15 I tried to contact the restaurant and they were unresponsive - the phone would click that it was picked up and immediately was hung back up. This happened when I tried to call again 3 more times. It's now 8:45 at night and still no food and no way to reach the restaurant to resolve this. I'd give 0 stars if I could- don't advertise delivery, take a order and send a confirmation, charge my card then NEVER ACTUALLY DELIVER my food.... oh wait it's now 9:00 and what's that? A knock at the door? Yeah thanks for delivering now I say to which the response is sorry very busy and walked away- I hope the food is better now as leftovers tomorrow than your service... not pleased.

It was delicious with their garlic sauce! I also LOVED my deep-fried Mars Bar (we used to have those candy bars in the US, but I think they stopped selling them, so I haven't had one since Halloween when I was a kid). Highly recommend!

In good ol'…read moreScottish fashion, they deep-fry just about anything you can imagine: fish, chicken nuggets, pies, haggis, sausage, ribs, pizza, and so on. You get the point. One item that's not listed on their menu, although it really ought to be, is the deep-fried Mars bar. According to MyFitnessPal, this tiny snack will tax your body a whopping 600 calories! Worth only £2.50 a piece, it probably deserves a medal for such a stellar calorie-to-price ratio.

Rapido is a great little chippy on Broughton Street, I rate it as one of the best in Edinburgh…read more The shop is bright, clean and, surprisingly for a business selling fried food, not at all greasy. They sell all the usual chip shop favourites like fried fish, smoked sausage, haggis, fried pizzas and of course chips. There is also an extensive pizza menu, featuring exciting toppings like gorgonzola and parma ham (believe me, this is exotic for a Scottish chippy!), all of which are freshly made to order on deliciously thin and crispy bases. If you fancy something a little healthier there are baked potatoes, again with lots of fillings to choose from. The counter has a tasty selection of traybakes and I often pop in on my way home from work for a piece of the rocky road, it is gorgeous!

To be fair, it was really busy, but the queue to even place the order seemed to take an age. When I finally did order it then took another five minutes to get it out the shop! This was my only main criticism, however, as their menu is huge with plenty to choose from in the way of traditional suppers, pizzas with just about any topping and plenty of cooked sauces to accompany them. The fish supper cost £4 which was quite reaosnable, considering the fish was good quality, although the chips weren't the best. Rapido serves pretty decent food, just make sure you bring a good, long book with you for the queue.

We walk in and were seated upstairs, which gave us a great view of the busy street next to the restaurant.

Seems to be able to give you a quick turnaround, if you're in a rush. Battered Fish & Chips - Haddock: A classic and seems to be their specialty. Big flaky fish and nice fluffy batter. Lots of thick crispy chips. Plus mushy peas, if you're into that kind of thing. Only issue is that sometimes they neglect to give you tartare sauce. Breaded Fish & Chips - Haddock: Maybe even better than the battered fish. The panko on top of the batter gives it a nice hearty crunch. Perhaps not traditional, but I'm a fan. Fish Cakes: The two crispy cakes are a much smaller portion than the regular fish. However, they definitely bursting with more flavor from the smoked fish and all the nice herbs. Could work if you split this and a regular fish & chips with someone. Curry Sauce: Took a few reminders to my waitress, but finally got my side sauce. A good helping. Kinda closer to Japanese curry than an Indian curry. Dipping the fries in this is purely amazing, much nicer than malt vinegar. Eton Mess: Save room for dessert! The pairing of smooth Scottish ice cream against crunchy airy meringue is perfect. Plus the raspberry sauce and whipped cream. A great way to end the meal on a sweet note.
