Joppa Rocks

We went for dinner last night at 7pm. I am a wheelchair user. It is completely flat and spacious. We were 5 and people had scallops, mussels, oysters, prawns, chowder etc. All outstanding They have some vegetarian options too

Today we did something completely out of the norm and by pure chance. Our originally planned Lunch restaurant had its lift out of order so for some reason Joppa rocks popped into my head and I'm so glad it did. It's a little restaurant at the musselburgh end of portobello beach, it was very wet and windy today which in my opinion enhanced the atmosphere. We were welcomed by Rico who sat us by the window allowing us to watch the choppy waves come in, very therapeutic. Being a wheelchair user I was worried about access but there's plenty room round the tables downstairs. There's even a disabled loo. Both mum and I opted for Haddock, mum requested breaded which was no problem, as I didn't like peas Rico offered broccoli as substitute and oh my word absolutely delicious!! Melt in your mouth haddock, hand cut and fried chips and the most tastiest tarter sauce ever. I'm not much of a fish fan but Joppa Rocks is my new favourite stop for fish and chips. I also opted for chocolate cake and wow!! It was like a cheesecake style filling with layers of cake. I'd definitely pop in for coffee and cake on a stroll! Rico was lovely, the atmosphere was superb as was the music and scenery. I don't think many people realise that restaurant is there tbh which is a shame because it's well worth a wee trip. What's more the buses do stop right outside too
