Great menu, could have eaten it all! Staff were present but not overbearing. You guys need to move to a bigger space though, it was a little noisy at times. Still, extremely enjoyable and will definitely be back.

Absolutely perfect. Great service from brilliant staff who were very kind to my mam who wanted small portions and GF options - nothing was too much of a problem. And the fish was fresh, tasty, beautifully cooked. For such an unassuming wee spot beside the underground, this is a piscy gem!

Very relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff. Efficient service and excellent food. Situated near underground, therefore 3 min into town for choice of transport. Unusual fish dishes, which is excellent for a fish restaurant

Delicious food although quite expensive .great service , restaurant was empty and we were given seats right next to kitchen , my view was the kitchen door 🤔🤔🤔. I phoned asking about parking and was tol I could park in the car park at subway , you can park there but minimum payment was £ 5.49 as it is only a park and ride facility

A World class experience. We travel extensively to many countries, the food and service would outclass many so called fine dining restaurants. An absolute bargain. We would not hesitate to recommend it .

Food excellent but coffee was brought to the table before we had finished the dessert course. Consequently it was on the cold side when we eventually got to it. Minor point but quite annoying at the time.

I love this restaurant. Great pre theatre and a la crate menus and the only problem is deciding what to choose as it all sounds delicious. Pre theatre is great value at £16.50 and can thoroughly Recommend the Thai shrimp starter. Service good and not intrusive.

If you enjoy fish you will love the Fish People's Café . The three guys that I was with each had haddock and chips and all three commented that the fish just melted in their mouth . I chose the whole lemon sole on the bone . It was very fresh and tasted fantastic . Beatifully cooked . We were there for lunch and there was a special lunch menu . The dinner menu offers a far wider selection of fish which looks just as appetising .

Wow, just WOW. I had the 2 course lunch and started with the smoked gravlox. It was wonderful with a nice slice of great bread, creme fraiche, lemon and dill. The smoked flavor was delicate but noticeable. I chose the pan fried sea bass and Caesar salad with fresh anchovies (as advised by the waiter). This was a whole new experience for me, as I had never had a fresh anchovy before. If you haven't either, seek them out now!

Visited on Friday 9th March. Food was amazing. Starters were Portland Crab & Spiced prawn cocktail. Both were delicious, prawn cocktail had loads of prawns. Mains were, the chunky fish stew, tasted delicious, was a huge portion, definitely recommend, the other mains was the scallops with buttered cabbage, again was delicious but portion was quite small. A shared cheeseboard to finish. Bill for two including wine & coffe was in the region of £100. Decor was lovely, staff very pleasant & attentive. Would definitely recommend giving this a try.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly engaging staff, is the least I could say about the Fish People Cafe. The Mustard & herb crusted rare tuna escabeche was fresh, tasteful and devoured. The warm crab cake sitting on a bed of fresh crab elicited an audible groan of satisfaction. The whole tandoori sea bass aroma had us salivating before the fist bite and it didn’t disappoint. The monkfish satay was equally if not more flavoursome and we may have been guilty of scraping every last drop out of the dish. Finishing all of this off with the caramel parfait, sweet, warm soft biscuit and delicious caramel, was perfect. The chocolate tart not any less so. The accompanying wines were on point, we were still eating while discussing dates for our next visit. Just fab!

We had a superb meal here prior to going to the Hydro for a show. We had Lussa ( Jura) G&Ts, Shetland salmon tartare, Barra scallops, Scrabster skate with courgettes, all perfectly cooked, followed by a dark chocolate tart and a cheese board, all washed down with a lovely Pouilly fume . Lovely restaurant and ambiance, great service; as good a meal as we’ve ever had. Recommend and we’ll be back!

Food and service exceptional! Started with shrimp and peanut salad, which had a real spicy kick! Never realised a salad could taste this good... Crispy bass Caesar salad was just as good as the starter. Great food, great value and it’s easy to get to - right beside the entrance to Shields Road Underground station. Can’t wait to go back for more!
