Fantastic fish and chips, and great service every time. The staff are friendly, the batter is light and crispy, and the chips are stupendous! We definitely recommend a visit and have become regulars.

They seem to constantly get your order ever so slightly wrong, this time i went they gave me the completely wrong thing. When i phoned up the person on the phone said he remembered taking my order and that he'd heard me wrong, but he said that if i wanted the correct order i would have to pay again. An annoyingly common issue with places like this.

While I would previously had been four to five stars for food, I think I was the first customer that evening and the fish I got was really not good, like it had been sitting around for quite a while.

Best chippie in Stockbridge. Always fresh and made to order.

I mean where else can you stroke a crocodile too! ???? ????

Brilliant fish and chip shop. Best in Edinburgh ???? Chips are not greasy and lovely fresh fish and chicken goujons.

Very sad to see the reviews slating young teenage staff. The staff are all lovely and while young, incredibly professional and friendly. Strange for grown adults to feel the need to insult younger people.

Rude service. Ugly boys with no desire to feed the hungry. Rude. Won't use again when there's 20 mins left of their opening hours.

Honestly just rude .fat blanks

I ordered for collection, which was very straightforward. Food was all ready when I got there. Really friendly staff, they’re obviously busy but I thought they were a very efficient team. The food quality was lovely. They’ve done well to maintain such excellent standards after all these years

£12.50 for fish supper and 40p for a paper bag to put it in! Mediocre pale battered fish with a small portion of chips. Nothing ready or on display and all cooked to order so you’ll have to wait if you just turn up . Get the impression it’s mostly for Deliveroo and online deliveries. Priced too high for what you get . Shame as it used to be very good.(Post Note: I got the price of their paper bag wrong, as they have pointed out- it’s 20p for a paper bag ????I stand corrected.

On a rare visit to my home city I decided to treat myself to a fish supper from 'L'Alba Doro. What a disappointment. The chips were very ordinary, but worst of all was the fish. A big fish, but the batter was a shocker. Limp and flaccid like a wet rubber that separated from the flesh! It had the texture of a wet wipe. Not impressed. The place itself is sparkling clean and the staff are friendly, but, please, crisp up your batter!!

Great suppers, cooked to order so usually a wait unless you order ahead. Fish and black pudding are excellent. Portion of chips with the suppers could be a bit more generous.

Really impressed with ordering system to collection. Food was superb. Staff excellent and extremely obliging. We are a group of 21 bowlers and holding our end of season game. All went well due to L'Aba D'Ora having everything organised. Thank You Goldenacre Bowling Club

Soooo- the atmosphere was alright and the staff isn't unfriendly, just young and a bit confused by the look of them. Lucky we ate in store or we wouldn't have realized that the tartar sauce (not included- had to pay for it) was not in the box. Not the best fish or chips I've had... not by a long shot. The batter was sticking to the packaging and the chips were soft... soggy if you will. Everything tasted under seasoned and when my husband asked for salt he was given one packet.The tarter sauce was overwhelmingly caper-y. The mozzarella sticks were fine. The garlic mayo was delicious. Wouldn't come back.

Delicious fish???? Nice crispy and flaky batter. Not heavy or dense like others I’ve tried in the past. Chips were average.
Overall, good flavour and a nice takeaway. :) Thank you.

Chips where freshly made and haggis tasted good felt £9 for a haggis supper was a bit expensive. Took about 20 mins to cook but everything was fresh and really hot.

Overpriced Fish n chips , fish was not fresh dry n rubbery very Dissapointing . teenage kids running the place with no idea and experience it appears.

This is no longer the place for fish n chips in edinburgh many better options, lalba doro is not what it used to be years ago unfortunately.

Paid through the roof for pathetic portion. About 15 chips and the smallest haddock I have ever seen. Won’t be returning. Roll on Giovannis reopening.

The food was nice and fresh. The service was good, although a little slow at times due to the young inexperienced staff. But unfortunately the prices are rather too high.

Young teenage staff, untrained and very low customer care with rude behavior. Food was uncooked and inedible must be one of the worst chippies in Edinburgh. Skip this, go around the corner and buy from another place.

Went in to order a simple small chips, all 3 teenage staff behind the counter ignored me and served someone else who came in behind me. Then after saying hi to the guy behind the till who had taken the previous order he ignored me and walked away. Absolute height of rudeness and need a basic course in customer service.

The food is pricey but it is one of the better fish and chips takeaways on this side of town

25 minute wait. Fish supper cooked fresh however ruined as obviously inexperienced young staff not cooking it correctly. Terrible atmosphere of not being bothered. A bit much when you are paying so much.

Scotland renowned home of fish & chips , always enhanced with condiment of
" chippy sauce" sadly , L'Alba , now charging for sauce .
Worst Romana on Sunday early evening. breadcrumb over cooked, tasted of burnt paxo stuffing on this occasion.
Will go to Franco's in future .

Thank you for reply re sauce , I will inform Partner ,£13:50 was supper & sauce .
Feedback re fish ???? ,is accurate though .
Consistency requires attention.
