The Gannet Fish Bar

"First time visiting and was really happy with experience. It was not busy at the time. The place looks new, so decor is modern. You order food from app which is fine for me, others maybe prefer waiter. Food and drinks came quickly and portions were good size for the price. As it's the zoo it is kid and baby friendly"

"I'm leaving a review mainly to note that this restaurant at Edinburgh Zoo has gluten-free fish and chips! Their menu outside doesn't specify that, so it was a pleasant surprise when ordering. I have a food intolerance rather than coeliac, so did not inquire about separate fryers and can't speak to cross-contamination risk. The food is a bit expensive and not exceptional for what it is, but for a hot lunch at the zoo after trekking up and down the hill, it's great, and the staff are lovely."

"You place your order with a QR code and pay online which I found to be slow. Prices are expensive. Things like bread bun or cheese with your chips are £1.50 extra each. £2 for a can, high priced for what you get. The fish was well prepared, fresh, perfectly cooked with a very good quality crunchy batter. Tartar sauce was lovely."

"I'm a member of the Zoo so I go a lot and this restaurant is probably the best there has been at the zoo in terms of the actual physical place. Warm and clean and modern. There has never been a very good restaurant here, but it is a Zoo after all. You order via QR code and pay online. Which honestly is a bit of chore when your toddler is going nuts and wants your phone when he sees you on it. I love tech, but not when it makes things less easy for me. "Fish and chips and a kids fish and chips please" is a heck of a lot easier than navigating your order and paying on a website. The food was ok. The piece of fish with your fish and chips is laughably small given they charge £12 for adult fish and chips. Also things like peas or chippy sauce are extra. You literally get a piece of fish, chips and tartare sauce. £2 for a can of soft drink. So yeah, really expensive for what you get. It was cooked well I suppose. All in all if you must eat at the Zoo (which you might do as it's a trek up to Corstorphine for other restaurants) then this is fine."

"Orders are placed via an app which was a little slow and clunky for me when I was ordering. There is a limited menu however there is another restaurant and cafe on site. The prices are also a little high. The chips are ok. I ordered chips and cheese and the cheese comes in a small bowl on the side not melted into the chips. The chips also cool very quickly. The hot drinks we ordered took quite a while to arrive and we were half way through our food before they did and the restaurant wasn't busy."
