Recommendations

"I just couldn’t end this Edinburgh Food Guide without including at least one pub. So we opted for the World’s End Pub as it was only a few minutes from our hotel and supposed to be really good. We ordered some beers and enjoyed a big plate of fish ‘n’ chips, which admittedly were really delicious."
"I recommend trying the neeps and tatties at the World’s End, a little pub located in Edinburgh’s Old Town."
"You can find neeps and tatties all over Scotland, but when you’re in Edinburgh walking down the Royal Mile in search of a good lunch, head to World’s End, and get yourself some neeps and tatties."
"A real treat for any Simon Pegg film fans or anyone looking for a hearty meal of neeps and tatties. The food was delicious."
"If the apocalypse was indeed approaching, a plate of neeps and tatties from this cosy pub would make the perfect last meal."
"We enjoyed a great fish chips meal at the World’s End Pub – which in the 15th century truly was the “world’s end” for Edinburgh residents, who all lived within a huge wall enclosing the city and leading up to Edinburgh Palace. Beyond the wall there was no protection! And for our fish and chips, no protection from our ravenous appetites. The meal was wonderful!"
"I chose the Fish & Chips and it was delicious. I would return to this pub and definitely wait to get a table."
"I’m more of a halibut man in Canada, but the haddock and chips at The World’s End on the Royal Mile was great both in quality and quantity; perfect with a local ale."
"For those seeking for more old-style atmosphere, any of the pubs on the Royal Mile or Grassmarket offer fantastic, home-made classics like fish and chips. We highly recommend the World's End on Royal Mile."
"As soon as we were settled at our restaurant table we each ordered the fish & chips. It was phenomenal; a chunky beer-battered haddock fillet served with chips, garden peas, and tartar sauce. The haddock fillet was hanging off each end of a full-size dinner plate. Speaking as someone who grew up in a fishing village on the east coast of Canada, I can say with some experience, this was absolutely fantastic! It was fresh and cooked to perfection."
