Unreal - Edit
Excellent for a great big dirty FEAST. The other reviews have said it all already - place is fab and quirky, staff are just BRILLIANT, and the food is absolutely filthy in the best way. They were so kind to our tired dog! We loved it!

Battered ‘faggis’ 😂👌 - Edit
This place is a must when in Edinburgh! £5 spicy Margs and huge portions of delicious vegan chippy! Me and my sister came in and instantly loved it, quirky little pub. We had the battered faggis and the tofish burger. We were both defeated but the server offered takeaway boxes. Service amazing, food amazing, atmosphere amazing!

Absolutely MUST 🌟 - Edit
The Happy Fish is not your usual chippy — it’s on a whole different level, and whether you’re vegan or not, you absolutely must try it 💚 Everything that comes out of their kitchen is outstanding. The tofishes are perfectly seasoned and crispy, the battered sausage is spot-on, and the battered ‘faggis’… WOW. It’s HUUUUGE — and somehow just as delicious as it is massive 🤤
Read more🌟 get the MUNCHIE BOX - bit of everything 🥰
If you’re in the mood for a sharp kick, grab some of their pickled onions…. they deliver a sour punch that’ll wake you right up 😅
The atmosphere is phenomenal — the staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and clearly love what they do. And for anyone who enjoys a good drink, their vegan-friendly cocktails are a massive bonus.
If you’re in Edinburgh and craving comfort vegan food done right, The Happy Fish should be at the top of your list. A total gem. 🌟✨

The best vegan fish and chips! - Edit
The best vegan fish and chips we have ever had (and we’ve had a few in our time!), and what better than to have it in the pub!
Read moreA big selection for a small business, and very quick and friendly service. If we are ever back in Edinburgh, we will make sure to stop here for the Happy Fish Loaded Fries (which are VERY generously sized).
Pros: Tasted amazing , Great portions

Fish! Chips! All vegan!! 💚 - Edit
We visited Edinburgh in Halloween season and entered this cool looking pub where we were invited right away to do some pumpkin carving competition while waiting for the food 🎃
Read moreAnd we won a price!
But really, the best part was the fun had when we would otherwise be just waiting for the food ☺️
Awesome food, three different kinds of “fish” and chips, plenty of other options and great atmosphere. And great music selection too!
Pros: Food, Staff, Atmosphere

Fish and chips - Edit
El fish and chips estaba muy rico y las camareros fueron amables. No le pongo un 5 porque el sitio es un pub que no se me hizo agradable para comer. Ademas tenías que pedir enviando un whatsapp y las mesas estaban tan juntas que comías con el de al lado.

Great food, long wait - Edit
The food is separate to the pub which is a funky, eclectic place. You have to order via WhatsApp which was a bit annoying any took a while to get a response. The food then took ages and we had to message a few times to check. They said a fuse had gone and that’s why it took so long but only when the food finally arrived (no updates otherwise). They apologised and gave us a free sauce- choose a curry sauce to go with a battered funk fish supper. The portion size was big- too much for one person, for lunch anyway and good to share with maybe something else. It tasted really good

Happy Fish indeed! - Edit
I’ve been to the Dog House before but not eaten there. The surroundings and atmosphere is great. Was a bit worried about what the fish would be like after sampling No Catch in Brighton, which was unsurpassed in my experience. I went for the Lemon Sole. Ordering was a bit of a challenge - I don’t do WhatsApp- until a member of kitchen staff came out and took my order in person. The fish was really tasty, in perfect crispy batter and the chips were divine. Good sized portion, but the lemon wedge could have been bigger. I’d say it was as good as No Catch. Would definitely eat there again
Read morePros: Very tasty fish n chips, Good sized portion, General vibe
Cons: The ordering system is a bit confusing

Fantastic spot - Edit
Unique venue (pub not fully vegan but staff super accommodating and can advise on vegan drinks at the bar, they offer discounts for all sorts too... Hospitality workers, blue light card etc). Elliot who owns The Happy Fish is a great guy, 22 of us came to eat after the March for Animal Rights and he was super helpful, food was delicious and humongous portions. 100% recommend.
Read morePros: Awesome staff, Huge portions, Great atmosphere in the venue
Cons: The pub isn't fully vegan but kitchen is rented to, The Happy Vegan which is a vegan company.

Dog Fish - Edit
Second visit to Happy Fish at the Dog House and we absolutely love this place.
Read moreLast night was the Munchie Box, which is HUGE, filling, naughty fried food and wonderfully indulgent. Leftovers for tea tonight too.
Must be the best tofish anywhere?
The Faggis is amazing, exactly like I remember a chippy battered haggis.
Curry sauce is glorious! More please!
Pros: Smoked tofish, tofish, battered goodies., Crazy decorations in the pub, which are super cool, Battered Haggis of dreams.

Tasty fish n chips - Edit
We visited this venue to sate a fish n chip craving, and were very happy we did (although we probably could have shared a single serve between us - 2 pieces of ‘fish’ and a decent serve of chips meant we had plenty left over for round 2 the following day - cleverly served in a handy take away box). Loved the setting and staff were friendly, so highly recommend a visit when in Edinburgh.

Unusual place with great food - Edit
Great food at a cool quirky place. Ringz, wingz and the fried onions were amazing 9,9/10, the tofish a solid 6,5/10. Will come back to try for fussels, fallops or fallamari.

Delish non-fish - Edit
This is a very interesting pub with a vegan chippie attached. Lovely people and food top notch - I had the battered haggis and chunky chips and my partner went for the Funk Fish supper - both adored although a little too generous with the tasty chips. We also sampled some onion rings the staff were treating out. Very tasty!
Read morePros: Tasty all vegan deliciousness , Friendly , Great quirky setting
Cons: Too many chips!! Not really a con

Good "fish" & chips - Edit
We tried the 3 types of "fish" and chips and they were good. The thick chips are also very good. There could have been more sauce and more peas though.

Good food, bad vibes - Edit
Unusual place with nice food. I’m just wondering what vegan fish alternatives have to do with wishing death to people?
Read moreIt was really unpleasant to find the words ‘death to the IDF’ written on the door.

It's more unpleasant what the IDF do to Palestinians (g*nocide). It's like 'eat the rich' in sentiment. Nobody is doing cannibalism.

Very slow vegan pub - Edit
Fully vegan pub with junk food options.

Has a vegan fried mars bar on menu but when I tried to order it they said they haven't had it for ages and they need to take it off the menu ☹️

Amazing fish and chips - Edit
The place is a pub with a separate service of fish and chips. The food is amazing. Very tasty vegan fish, even better than the cruelty one. Absolutely recommended. U can’t miss it
