Delicious fish stew. Friendly staff. The door was very stiff and we nearly turned away as we thought it was locked. Nice decor. The tandoori sea bass could have done with some vegs with it.

This was our first visit to The Fish People Cafe, but it won't be our last. As expected it's all about fish and seafood, but there was a good choice of dishes, alll very tempting. Everything we chose was truly delicious, simply on a different level from other restaurants. This will become a favourite for future evenings out.

Small and friendly, very fresh and delicate fish flavours including curried fish. Small but adequate range of mainly white wines. We had a party of 6 and had a great time.

Food was very good and the service was excellent. Very helpful waiter who moved us to a different table further from the door when he noticed that my elderly mother seemed a bit cold. That action alone speaks volumes in terms of customer care. Good ambience, relaxed and enjoyable.

A lovely little restaurant a bit off the high street but definitely worth the travel. Got the tip from a cook who told me that most professional chefs in Glasgow buy their fish at the fishmonger associated with this restaurant. Don't know if this is true, but I can very well imagine it.

First time visited. Was recommended. We dined on a Saturday lunch time off the main menu and all the food was fab. Hubby had scallops and chorizo after his cullen skink. Mum had grilled sole and I had tandoori sea bass. The sea bass was best I've had and I let them know ☺️ Apparently the Bakewell tart and Tempranillo were great too. Ambience is nice, it being small and intimate. Spotless toilets. Couldn't fault it.

Great as ever. Just love the Tandoori Angelsey Sea Bass. Great little place to visit. Only a couple of stops on the subway from St Enochs centre, Shields Road, about 3mins. Brilliant food and great service. Will be back 🙂

Quite modest looking, yet inside the decor, customer care and overall experience is beyond compare. The food offered is unparallel. We choose this place for special occasions only as we are not based in Edinburgh. Otherwise we would probably be there once a week at least.

Very good food and service. We chose oysters, scallops and monkfish, which were fresh and delicious. Tucked away next to Shields Road subway, there is a danger of the restaurant being overlooked by those unwilling to stray away from the city centre or West End, but it's well worth a little extra effort.

Great restaurant. Peculiar location at the bottom of a multi-storey car park next to the underground however the interior is elegant and the food is great. Not the cheapest of places but quality is worth paying for

Professional staff, very pleasant and helpful. Even offered to do a dish not on the menu due to my Mum's favourite, salmon, not being on the menu. Food as always was fabulous - served promptly but not rushed and service was just excellent. Love this little gem of a place - there is not a restaurant in the city that could beat this place...but could take lessons on quality food and customer care. Love it - GO.

A two pal review. Intimate restaurant, although a bit 'out the way'. Food was very nice, but being two pals that like their food, portion size was on the small side. No bread to accompany our order of mussels which we found rather odd. Quite pricey but worth the visit. We ordered coffee at the end of the meal and when it was brought to the table we were told they needed the table as next customers were in. Which of course is fine, but tell us before we order coffee! Or at least at the start of meal when the next reservation is due. Felt rushed to drink up and get out. Would still go back, food was delicious.

The restaurant is really nice. Food was delicious and prepared with care. Waiters kind. The place is small but intimate in a nice way. Only thing we did not like is being charged £2 for 4 tiny slices of bread. Go the Spanish/Italian way and serve bread as a free starter!

As always, we enjoyed our lunch at the Fish People Café. We chose from the set menu; one of us had the smoked mackerel pate and said it was delicious while two of us had the Cullen Skink which was up to its usual high standard. I had the sea bream and it was very tasty and my friends enjoyed their haddock and salmon main courses. Service was friendly and we look forward to our next visit.

Very good service and excellent fish dishes. Raw tuna starter was fab, as was the roast stone bass. Son had the cullen skink - loved it, and the scallops with caesar salad. The chocolate mousse cake with warm caramel sauce looked absolutely wonderful - but he refused to share! Very glad we managed to get a table at very short notice.

Food was lovely but the service did not compliment that. To be fair, there were new staff on for the first time on Saturday and were clearly being trained, but that, in my opinion, had an adverse effect on normal service. It's an intimate restaurant, well situated for transport links. We will return

Good menu, really well cooked food and excellent service from waiting staff. Good choices for starters, but half portion of main dishes is also a good option as a "taster" menu.
