Synnot Street Fish and Chips

All the basics are there: some seating, wall length deep fryer and counter plus cash register in an L shape. What makes Synnot Street stand out is the decor. It's the fish and chip shop that looks like a cafe. Don't expect a picture of a fish in the sign.


A bead display, trendy but not too trendy (read upbeat) furniture, and a hipster waiting area; the waiting area seating is a bench covered in potato sack material for both bench and cushions. It's a nice touch that doesn't quite match everything else.


The menu has quite a few different choices for fish, seafood packs and other crowd favourites like burgers and soulaki/wraps. There's even a specials menu on a whiteboard wall and they've even branched out into fried rice. Now to the most important thing - the fish and chips.


[ADVERT]Good. Really good. Really really good. Crunchy hot chips and a choice of crunchy or grilled fish. Exactly what you deserve and hope for when you go into a fish and chip shop. The homemade potato cakes were really good as well. These are much bigger than the little shrunken normal potato cakes that make you feel like you're biting into five parts fried batter to one part potato.

Busy and sometimes crowded, Synnot Street delivers. It's the great fish and chip shop that just looks really modern.
