Vittoria group is set to launch a new restaurant on Edinburgh’s Victoria Street. The 11’000 sq.ft restaurant will seat 270 covers and will be the capitals ‘go to for proper fish and chips’. We will aim to attract both International tourists and Edinburgh locals looking for fun, casual dining in the city centre. The relaxed venue will pride itself on the authenticity and quality of ingredients sourced and will not require advance bookings.
The affordable menu will reinvent the traditional British ‘Chippy’ dishes and will celebrate specialities including fish and chips – along with contemporary twists on the traditional chip shop experience. Fish burgers and ‘cod dogs’ might also feature on the menu alongside classic chippy dishes such as pies, haggis and white pudding suppers. Our menu will also boast several light options, all under ten pounds.
Deep-fried Mars bars with ice cream, salted caramel and chocolate sauce play on the Scottish chippy tradition of battered chocolate bars and are expected on the dessert menu alongside treats such as sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble pie. The vast three-floor World Heritage site building and former St John’s church had been used as a bookmaker and housed the popular Byzantium market and Khushi’s Indian restaurant before a blaze in 2008.
The new restaurants design will also play on the chip shop theme with seating in beach-hut style booths and a nod to nautical style interiors complete with classic tongue and groove panelling, painted floorboards, galvanised metals and weathered paintwork. The restaurants grown-up beach chic will also feature a variety of coastal inspirations: rope, anchors and wall-hung oars.
The venue that will open in Winter 2018 will also feature two bars, serving a selection of premium spirits and gins from around Scotland, along with beach side themed cocktails, beers and ciders.
