The Gannet Fish Bar at Edinburgh Zoo provides a convenient but inconsistent dining experience for zoo visitors. While some guests are pleasantly surprised by the quality of traditional dishes like Cullen Skink and chicken pie, others report disappointment with items like stale chips and basic salads. A recurring theme in reviews is the significant wait time, which can reach 40 minutes during busy periods. The atmosphere is consistently described as loud and lively, reflecting its primary demographic of families with young children. Service is generally regarded as friendly, though it can struggle to keep pace with the high volume of customers. Overall, it serves as a functional pitstop, provided diners are prepared for a noisy environment and potential delays.
