Peking Chinese Takeaway

Chinese Vista — listed previously as Peking Chinese Takeaway at the same High Street site — is one of the busier Chinese takeaways in central Brechin, trading from the upper end of the High Street as it climbs toward the Round Tower and the Cathedral. The shop holds a 4.3 Restaurant Guru average across 136 reviews — a strong number for a small Angus burgh takeaway — and is described in many of those reviews as the best Chinese in the area.

The kitchen runs the established Cantonese-with-curry-section format: a long printed menu of chow mein, sweet-and-sour, salt-and-pepper plates, foo yung, chicken curry, fried rice and a banquet menu for shared collection orders. Reviewers single out the house special chow mein (the dish flagged repeatedly), the generous portions for the price, and the friendly counter trade as the regular positives. Trade is phone-and-collect with a delivery option, with the average per person sitting in the £10-£20 range. Occasional reviews flag slow delivery and a cold-chips issue under heavy demand — the usual peak-night caveat for a working takeaway.

The Brechin High Street parade itself runs through the centre of the burgh, between the Mechanics Institute end of the street and the Round Tower above.
