Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located in the heart of Dunfermline, Gennaro's Fish Bar is a beloved takeaway spot specializing in classic fish and chips, alongside a tempting range of flame-grilled burgers and wraps. This charming chippy offers an authentic taste of traditional Scottish fish and chips, perfected over decades, with a reputation that spans generations.

At Gennaro's, the cooking philosophy is simple yet exceptional: fresh ingredients cooked to perfection and served piping hot every time. Whether you opt for their golden, crispy fish or indulge in a flame-grilled burger—like the juicy 1/2lb Cheese & Doner Burger combining rich, smoky flavors with tender meat—you are in for a satisfying meal that bursts with flavour. The menu also includes a variety of wraps, from the hearty Donner Wrap to the fresh and vibrant Salad Wrap, catering to diverse taste preferences.

Despite the busy nature of the shop, service remains prompt and inviting. The regular full-time team is known for genuine warmth, making every customer feel welcomed, an aspect perfectly captured by Anna Smutna who praises the “lovely staff always helpful and polite.” The takeaway’s steady buzz is a testament to their enduring popularity, and their commitment to delivering delicious, no-grease meals that keep locals and visitors coming back for more.

One of the best chippys in Scotland. The one the spot quality checks with the chips mean you always get the best chips, never too soft or too crunchy, always perfect. Everything else is brilliant, very well priced and always tastes divine. Never had a bad meal from here. Although the student rotation on tills need a little more customer service training the regular full time staff are absolutely delightful. Surprisingly cheery given the high pressure and temperature environment they work in almost every day.

I think I last visited Gennaros over 30 years ago when I lived in this part of Dunfermline. Was visiting Dunfermline from Australia and this was our go to place for the last 3 weeks. Food was always fresh, no grease at all from any of the food. The shop is always busy and the staff are friendly. Having visited other chippy’s in Dunfermline in the last few years, Gennaro’s is definitely the best.

An excellent chippy with friendly staff making tasty food. Always busy, which is a sign that others think likewise, but never too long a wait.

Never usually have to wait long compared to other chippys and have sampled various different options from the menu which have always been tasty. Tried their donner kebab recently which was delicious as I munched it down watching MasterChef ! Requires strong will power not to visit more often. Recommended !

Food is unbelievable! Never had a single issue and living in the centre of Dunfermline gives me so many takeaway options but I’ll still choose Gennaros every time! I usually get delivery which is always fast but on the few occasions I’ve been in to get food the staff have been lovely! I will always highly recommend here!
