Golden Bite

Head down to Portobello and you'll find Golden Bite doing exactly what it says on the tin: no flourishes, no gimmicks, just the fish supper you actually want to eat. The batter's got that satisfying crunch, the fish flakes apart properly, and the chips are chunky enough to matter. It's the kind of spot locals cycle past on a Tuesday night craving a quick dinner, not somewhere you'd take your mum to impress her. The neighbourhood's come alive in recent years, and Golden Bite fits right into that relaxed vibe—busy enough to feel proper busy, but never precious about it.
