St Andrews Restaurant is a family friendly seaside restaurant and takeaway at 280-284 Portobello High Street in Edinburgh. Its position a short walk from the beach makes it a natural stop during a day in Portobello. Diners can sit in for a full meal or use the takeaway and delivery service for a more casual visit.
Fresh fish and chips are a central speciality, combining crisp batter with the comforting simplicity expected from a traditional seaside meal. The kitchen also makes its own pizza dough and sauce before baking pizzas in a wood fired oven. Pasta and other familiar dishes broaden the selection beyond those two signatures.
Gluten free versions of fish and chips, pizza, pasta and other dishes are a notable part of the offer, while halal choices provide further flexibility. Guests with allergies should still confirm ingredients, fryer use and shared preparation with the team before ordering. The broad menu and informal service are designed to work well for families.
Homemade ice cream, coffee and Italian wine provide contrasting ways to finish or accompany the meal. The restaurant’s combination of Scottish seaside food and Italian favourites reflects its approachable neighbourhood role. St Andrews Restaurant offers Portobello a practical, welcoming place for everything from a takeaway supper to a seated family dinner.
