text: A wee bit touristy, but a beautiful and elegant pub & restaurant steps away from a hostel on the Royal Mile. About a 7-10 min walk (downhill) from Edinburgh Castle. I saw a sign that said Voted 2013's best Fish n Chips and that was enough for me. Lots of people dining alone and working on laptops while having a pint. \n\nMy first taste of Scotland. Yummy! The chips were big and soft but also very chewy, no undercooked chips here. The fish was HUGE. I only got about 1/2 of it before giving up. Served on a bed of peas. \n\nI liked how we got a plethora of different sauces so my aunt and I could try a little of each. \n\nGood service too. I'm a fan of anyone who says \"Cheers!\" to me. Yes, my American tourist roots are showing.
