00:00I went along with my son to try out Edinburgh's newest restaurant, situated on the corner of the Royal Mile and North Bridge.

00:07Landy's reimagines the coastal chippy in the midst of Scotland's capital.

00:11Edinburgh-based Vittoria Group opened the restaurant last weekend.

00:16That's your macaroni croquettes, to be honest, is one of my favourites.

00:19We're going to share them.

00:20As you should.

00:24Let's see how it is then.

00:25We started our three-course meal by sharing haggis spring rolls and mac and cheese croquettes.

00:43Excuse me, sir.

00:44Lovely mac and cheese bites.

00:47It's fair to say that judging by our plates, we enjoyed our starters.

00:52Next up for our mains, I had a haggis supper while my son had his favourite, butter, sausages and chips.

00:58Some chippy sauce.

01:13We tucked in our traditional Edinburgh chippy teas, and we loved it.

01:18Well, Landy's haggis supper, done.

01:22Absolutely beautiful.

01:23Really enjoyed that.

01:25Proper chippy food.

01:27For pudding, my son had deep-fried Mars Bar and ice cream, while I had cookie dough cheesecake and ice cream.

01:34Cookie dough cheesecake.

01:35Let's give it a try.

01:37That is amazing.

01:39Absolutely beautiful.

01:42And it's fair to say my son enjoyed his pudding as well.

01:46It's worth pointing out that you don't have to sit in Landy's to enjoy its food, with a takeaway chippy also available.

01:53Well, our first time at Landy's.

01:55Absolutely brilliant.

01:56Definitely back.

01:57Definitely worth a visit.

01:58Definitely worth a visit.

01:59Definitely worth a visit.

02:00Definitely worth a visit.

02:02Well, our first time at Landy's.

02:04Absolutely brilliant.

02:05Definitely back.

02:06And we've also got the added bonus of the takeaway option if you're just in town.

02:10That's your quick chippy tea.

02:13Highly recommend.

02:15I checked in with the manager of Landy's to see how the first week has gone at Edinburgh's newest restaurant.

02:24Obviously we opened last weekend.

02:26We weren't out on socials.

02:27We've just been kind of hidden just to try the market and see how it goes.

02:32Obviously we went live on socials.

02:33We went live on Google Maps and stuff for people to find us.

02:37It's been a good weekend.

02:39It's picking up slightly.

02:40The better, the merrier.

02:41Obviously we have the Bertie's.

02:43That's one of our sister sites.

02:45It's really, really busy.

02:46However, this time we obviously have the Christmas market.

02:48It's always taking a little bit of the football away from the royal mouth.

02:52But on a daily basis we can see our covers increasing and stuff.

02:55The feedback has been really, really good as we expected and stuff.

02:58People are really praising our food.

03:00The quality really feels like a proper fish and chips.

03:02The service is really restaurant, really good vibes, really casual.

03:05So people are loving it.

03:06So hopefully with this and moving forward we're going to pick up more often here.
