YouTuber has one word for Edinburgh city centre chippy after 'stumbling upon it'
A YouTuber who stopped off at a city centre chippy in Edinburgh branded it 'elite-level'.
Matt, who runs Food Review Club, visited Landy's on North Bridge. He said he was 'shocked' after stumbling upon the spot, hailing it as a 'masterpiece'.
Admitting he's had a lot of 'below average' fish and chips, Matt said that Landy's was 'textbook, done right'.
Posting a clip of their trip to YouTube, Food Review Club said: "We're back above the border and deep in the heart of Edinburgh, where we stumbled upon Landy's — a place that's quietly serving up elite-level fish and chips, and we did not see it coming.
"This spot looks more like a modern diner than your traditional chippy, but don't let that fool you. From the light, crispy batter to the fluffy chips and runny curry sauce, this haddock-based masterpiece might just be one of the best we've ever had.
"No cake batter, no oil slick — just textbook fish and chips done right. And yes — we went full Scottish with an Irn-Bru to wash it down. We even shared the moment with some fellow visitors from Australia and got their verdict too.

Landy's replaced Byron Burger on North Bridge at the end of last year, and opened to rave reviews. In Larder magazines best fish and chip spots in Scotland, it claimed first place.

50 Cent pledges loyalty to Celtic FC and reveals plans to visit Parkhead ahead of TRNSMT gig
TRNSMT's Friday night headliner 50 Cent has revealed where his loyalties lie when it comes to Scottish football thanks to his good pal Gerard Butler who is a Celtic superfan. Celtic fans may have a huge R&B star cheering alongside them in the stands next season as rap icon 50 Cent has revealed his hopes of attending a game at Parkhead during his visit to Scotland. The New York born rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson is set to headline the 2025 TRNSMT festival in Glasgow Green this Friday on July 11. The 50-year-old has not performed in the city for almost ten years now, with his last Glasgow gig coming in November 2015 at the SSE Hydro. While putting on a brilliant show for his Scottish fans will likely be his priority, the hip hop legend also has another big reason for visiting thanks to his Hollywood actor pal and Celtic superfan Gerard Butler who has inspired him to experience the passion of a Hoops game in real life. Paisley born actor Butler and the Candy Shop rapper starred together in the 2018 blockbuster Den of Thieves and became good pals during filming. According to 50, the Scots actor's love for Celtic was impossible to ignore. According to SunSport, the rapper said: 'Man, Gerard is crazy about Celtic. I don't think I have ever met somebody more in love with their team. "We are going to watch a Celtic game together. That guy won't miss a game even when he's shooting. He must go up another level when he's actually at the stadium.' The rapper added: 'If I went to watch a game in Scotland, it would have to be Celtic. "He would never forgive me if I went to watch anybody else.' While 50 Cent has never publicly made his allegiance to any one team clear, he has previously dabbled in the sporting world. Join the Daily Record's WhatsApp community here an His company, Sire Spirits has has partnerships with a couple of high-profile American sports franchises. The 50-year-old has also been seen supporting the Houston Astros and famously sponsored a girls' under-14s football team in Cardiff, as claimed by Celts are Here. However, thanks to Butler's influence, it seems the rapper could perhaps become an active follower of Celtic FC. He of course would not be the first American celebrity to express a love for the green and white Hoops. Other big US stars including Snoop Dogg, Coolio, Lana Del Rey and actor Jon Hamm have all been tied to the club in the past. This being said, the depth of their support is often debated by diehard fans. When 50 Cent is planning to make his visit to Parkhead is not known as the next season will not have started yet whilst he is in Glasgow for TRNSMT this weekend so his trip with Butler will need to come at another time. With the Celts pushing for their 55th league title this year, the rapper could touch down on Scottish soil with the SPFL trophy wrapped up.
