After not writing a TripAdvisor review in years, I felt compelled to share my experience. During a festival in Dunoon at the end of May, I ordered a couple of single fish dishes for myself and my partner. The fish was absolutely delicious - the batter was perfectly golden and crunchy, and the flavor reminded me of classic chip shop fish. I highly recommend trying this place if you ever find yourself in Dunoon.
Excellent food. We loved this local cuisine. We had the fish and chips, smoked sausage, mashed peas and a pickled egg onion the egg and onion were recommended by a local waiting in line with us). Everything was delicious and very generous portions. Everyone at Anselmos was very friendly and very social. We ate here twice. You have to try Anselmos, you will not be disappointed.
I usually rave about Anselmo's however, on this visit we were disappointed. We both had fish supers. We both believe the fish was double fried and greasy on this location i.e. not freshly prepared. The meals provided this time were of a poor standard.
Went to Anselmos the other week and bought two single fish and two suppers for my wife and I and two cans of coke. Decent fish! Bit greasy according to my wife but I really enjoyed mine, kids liked their singles as well. We normally just go to Queens Street on fish night but we wanted tae try something different, this place was just across from the kids primary school and it was great! Chips where nice and thick and fish had lots of flavour! We will be back
Absolutely shocking service, mainly from the owner himself, staff treated like a bit of dirt on his shoe, can't stand people who can't treat employees correctly. Owner/head chef never smiles and he's constantly moaning about energy prices and fish prices.. Yes everyone is aware of the cost of living crisis, we are all suffering but god we don't need to hear it from you when we're giving your business a small fortune for a bit of over done fish and 22 chips!
