Bistro Du Vin in Fife

Great location overlooking St Andrews Old Course and the bay. Loved the ambience, food and wine selections. Service was warm and professional. Tom took great care to make us feel welcome. Highly recommended!!

This was part of a retirement celebration my colleagues gave me, but what can I say. My husband and I were treated like royalty by Tom and Callum. They were kind respectful and very polite whilst serving us, they made our evening great. The food was delicious and hot, all in all we had a wonderful time which Tom and Callum made really special for us so thank you guys keep up the great work, you were a pleasure to meet. The retired nurse commends you both.

We dined her for two successive nights whilst staying at the Hotel it is attached to. This review is based on the experience for dinner. The hotel advises that the Bistro opens at 6:30pm, but when we went down at 6:30pm there were already people in and partway through there meal. The service was good, but not all the waiters knew the menu and struggled to give details of some of the dishes offered. Overall the dinners themselves were very good, although drink service was very slow.

Just went into their beer garden in the back and have been here before with no issues. Wife went in and asked about food & drink. Given a menu and advised the guy would be out with the a la carte menu as well… 15 mins later nothing and although a waiter came out three times and served the other table, didn’t even make eye contact or ask us if we needed anything. Obviously left disgusted and won’t be back

The worst Afternoon Tea in St Andrews. Service was poor, the offering was poor and the seating dirty. The buttons on the seating were full of crumbs and had not been cleaned. We were intending to stay in November, but considering everything we would not risk it

Me and my partner were fortunate enough to spend the evening eating dinner tonight within the luxurious bistro dining area. We were treated to a window seat, in which we were able to watch the sunset with a glass wine. We had the Sautéed mushrooms and the French Onion soup for starters, the Chateaubriand for main course and the Tarte Tatum Du Jour accompanied by the Blood Orange & Rhubarb Trifle for desert. All of the dishes were brilliant! I want to thank both Chefs: Grant and Cammy for their exceptional work. I also want to extend my gratitude to Tom and Nia for the amazing service all night within the bistro, and to Jack and Avah from the bar who looked after our every need. We will definitely be back!

Lovely night with amazing food, especially the chateaubriand, hats off to Grant and Cammy in the kitchen! Brilliant service from Tom and Nia in the bistro who looked after us very well and a special thanks to Jack and Avah for the best pina colada!🤩 We will definitely be back, lovely experience with brilliant staff.

Food was excellent, and Callum and Tom, our servers, were especially great! Would recommend with your family after a busy day in St Andrews.

I failed to do my part. I should have written this review back in September of 23. Tom, Phoebe,and Callum treated us very very well. The food was excellent as well.

Belated 50th birthday celebrations. Amazing price for a tasting menu at less than £60 per person. Food was delicious and the wines beautifully matched. The service team were faultless. Thank you Tom and Phoebe, M. We will definitely be back.

We received a warm welcome. The service was perfect and delightful to be served by Daryl. Nothing was too much bother. The food was delicious! A big shout out for their BLT ! We paid using the balance on a generous gift voucher. Feeling bad, as we had no cash and left without giving Darryl a well deserved tip. Don’t worry…….we’ll be back! Liz and Bob.

Booked for 10 of us to have an afternoon tea for my mums 50th Birthday. The cost was around £300 and then an additional £30 was added to the bill for service fee which I would not have paid but did not want to be embarrassed not paying it in front of all of my mums friends. The sandwiches were all dry, the cakes were not nice and chocolate lollypops all melted, most of it was not eaten and at the end none of us has enjoyed the food. As it was a big birthday and we wanted to make it special for my mum I did not want to make a fuss. Very disappointed as I paid so much money for this and it was such a let down as this is usually such a nice place to go for food.

Outstanding food and service from Daryl and team. They are a credit to the hotel and are friendly and professional always

Hotel room was very well appointed, bed so comfortable and we had a beautiful sea view. Enjoyed a delicious dinner in the restaurant and appreciated the excellent service from Daryl, Kelsey and team in the bar.

What can I say. What a fantastic meal we had at the bistro. The French onion soup was the best I’ve tasted and the steak, cooked to perfection, was fantastic as usual! Amazing hotel and restaurant with the best staff. Loved our stay here!

Siamo stati al Bistro Du Vin per un Afternoon Tea con un gruppo di 8 persone e ci siamo trovati molto bene, è sata una bellissima serata! Il locale è elegante e accogliente, il personale professionale e disponibile. L'Afternoon Tea comprendeva una selezione di sandwich e panini saliti, tutti ottimi, e una di dolci, che non ci hanno fatto particolarmente impazzire. Immancabili gli scones e il tea, a scelta tra una bella lista. Dopo l'Afternoon Tea, che rappresenta una vera e propria cena, ci siamo spostati nella zona bar per prendere dei cocktails e fare due chiacchiere. Molto bella anche la location del bar, con luci soffuse e una vasta scelta di drinks e whisky.

Had an excellent dinner in the restaurant and can’t praise the staff highly enough for their great service and warm welcome, a big thank you to Daryl and Steven who looked after us and made my early birthday celebration one to remember. The food was excellent and the finishing touch was the lovely piped birthday slate and desserts made by Grant the chef, thank you so much 😉. Also not forgetting the lovely reception staff who welcomed us and were provided with entertainment by my active little grandson!

Had a lovely dinner at the hotel with my parents! Daryl served us and we had incredible service! Highly recommend. Food & service was very good!

Fantastic afternoon high tea service on New Year’s Day!, and Karyna was excellent and really took care of us!

Excellent service from Daryl and Steven. Great food on the Scores, St Andrews. We are regulars and pop in at least once a month. Happy New Year to all at Bistro du Vin !

Steven was very attentive and the service he gave was first class with the help of Daryl. Would go back soon.

We booked for dinner at the last minute and so glad that we did. From the minute that we stepped in Steven and Daryl made us feel so ver welcome. Nothing was too much bother. Food was exceptional. Well done and thanks.

Stayed here to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Service from the minute we checked in was faultless and all staff were courteous and polite. We were especially impressed with the bar staff and restaurant staff (Daryl and Callum) who made us welcome.

Stayed at Hotel Du Vin St Andrews for my birthday with my partner. Checked in early and efficiently thanks to Beth. Dined in the restaurant on the 1st night, thoroughly enjoyable, tasty food, thanks to Daryl and his team. Special thanks to Daryl for the birthday drinks and arranging a full breakfast in bed for us on my birthday. Couldn't fault the service.

Beautiful restaurant looking out to the sea. We were on a special birthday trip for my father and the staff couldn’t have made it more pleasant. Daryl Tom and Nelly in the restaurant were just lovely. The two girls at reception that day were great too. We had two beautiful rooms with a spectacular view of the sea and the golf course.

We had the pleasure of having a champagne afternoon tea here. Not only was the food amazing but the service too. We were lucky enough to be given a table at the window. Daryl and the manager were so very lovely and helpful.

Good meal and service , good recommendations from Tom , overall we enjoyed a good meal and good wine

Fantastic food . I would recommend steak tartare - it was to die for . Excellent service - very attentive . Nice atmosphere and stunning views .

After a recommendation- we had a group of friends meet for dinner at Bistro du Vin . We had seen on the menu they had baked Alaska & were looking forward to that . Sadly we found out that some new seasonal menus were on & this item had been removed. Any way we enjoyed a convivial evening with a variety of great food , wine & service. When it came to dessert time - we were delighted to find that Chef Pete had gone out his way to make a couple of portions .. we were absolutely delighted. Terrific gesture much appreciated. After dinner we had a few drinks in the bar & the great service continued with Daryl & his team. We will definitely return & delighted to recommend for great food & service throughout .

beautiful location and decor, excellent food and service quite pricey so would only go for a special occasion but generally fairly priced Impressed with the service, friendliness and professionalism of Collette and her team

Lovely drinks and a delicious supper. Great table with a lovely view, made all the better by stupendous service from Daryl, our waiter, who combined humour, warmth, efficiency and superb service. A lovely evening. Thank you!!

Lovely spacious room, good bar for drinks before dinner. Great service at the restaurant, enjoyed our meal and well looked after by Daryl!

Used an Itison Voucher and what a great visit, will return.Tiger Prawns and French Onion soup to start, Steaks with Fries were excellent and brûlée dessert. Lovely time with great views over the beach and sea. Staff so friendly and looked after us both.

Visited today for meal, only bar meals but starting at 1pm, we arrived at 12.50 but weren’t offered an alternative to wait anywhere so walked around for 20 mins. On returning we were told by rather unfriendly & disinterested reception staff to take a seat & someone would be with us! A man asked if we wanted drinks but said food also, ordered the Normandy chicken for both of us & 2 soft drinks, we were left alone in a rather dark & dreary bar - food was served by a pleasant young girl - steak knives would have been better to cut the chicken though! Not once did anyone ask if everything was ok & when plates cleared if we enjoyed our meal. This was part of a gift voucher & no way will I spend the balance at this hotel! Felt that we were a total inconvenience.

A very nice restaurant, beautifully decorated, nice tables with great views, great food and excellent service.

We stopped in for an early dinner after exploring the town and old course during the day. We were served by Tom and Nia who were both delightful and happy to help in any way they could, even chatting to us a bit about the local area. The food was gorgeous and we had a lovely time in the restaurant. We'll done to all the staff!

We had an amazing time at dinner. Service was very attentive from both Steven and Tom who made sure to look after our every need. Grant came out to explain in detail each dish and made sure to answer any questions we had about the dishes. Sam performed the extravagant baked Alaska display, which in itself is a sight to behold. Overall we had a brilliant time and will definitely be returning.

Had a really great evening tonight, with amazing food all round and great service. All of the staff were really helpful, in particular Tom and Steven for their attentive service who were happy to help with anything we needed. Hats off to the chefs as the food was incredible, would highly recommend the French onion soup and the Chauteaubriand Steak. The restaurant also offers great views of the beach, perfect for watching the sun set over the sea. Will definitely be back!

Good service and nice food! Dary was very friendly and helpful :) Great location and beautiful view in St Andrews!

Great sea views, lovely staff (Nia, Steven and Tom) and really good food, especially the fillet steak and carrot and chickpea dish. Lots of variety and close to town, beach and golf course. Don’t miss.

Very good experience Service is very kind and professional Food is very good Nice location nice place Take a drink in the bar before eating is a big plus Nit the first time there, not the last one

This a great hotel and bistro. The staff are all very friendly and Steven especially made our meal lovely. The views are fantastic and we had a great time.

Amazing place in st. Andrews Restaurant and service are great. Tried the chateau briand & Malbec combo and it was well prepared and tasty.

Great meal and super service. Callum our waiter was excellent, polite, friendly and efficient. We will definitely return again. Lovely to have some top class fish and vegetarian options on the menu.

We attended the hotel for my sons graduation. The food and service were excellent. Helpful and polite staff, in a pleasant location.

Food is okay. Service awful. Got scolded by waiter for not ordering apps at the same time WHICH I DID. where do these people get their nerve? Cannot recommend.

The starters were good - especially the tiger prawns! However there was a hair found in the cauliflower cheese - this was off-putting and although we understand these things happen, there was initially no apology. The hair in this made us question the hygiene standards...

Nous cherchions un lieu avec une terrasse couverte pour déguster nos cigares. C'est par hasard que nous avons découvert cet endroit qui est un hôtel-restaurant. Particularité derrière l'établissement il y a une terrasse ombragée pour pouvoir se prélasser après le golf et boire de bons cocktails.Nous l'avons choisi toute la semaine pour en faire notre quartier général des apéros.

What a fantastic stay, from the minute we arrived until we left.When we arrived we were advised by Alistair we were getting upgraded which was to the Eden Mill Suite, which was fantastic, Alistair and all his staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was the best it could be. Food was absolutely lovely. We could not fault this hotel, one of the best.

To be perfectly honest the best part of our experience was the view and the glass of champagne. The quality of the food was very poor. I chose a salmon mousse which most certainly wasn't mousse like. It was like rubber and it was very "wet" like it had been frozen and then defrosted. My husband had pork croquettes for starters which were passable but rather bland. We both had chicken leg salad for main course which consisted of a bed of leaves, two or three slices of avocado and a shedded chicken leg (complete with bone and gristle) on top with the tiniest drizzle of dressing. Utterly bland with nothing to tantalise your tastebuds. We didn't dare try dessert but went elsewhere. The service was adequate but the staff weren't exactly what you might call friendly. We won't be returning in a hurry.

You can have table service or buffet lunch, you can also combine the two. The hotel is an upper class establishment. The service is up to scratch, and everything is clean and tidy, and the staff very helpful.

We secured a table at the last minute. The Maitre D' was most helpful. The Wild Mushroom Risotto was fine, but needed something more (Parmesan?). We selected some interesting wines that the host suggested. Great location. A word of caution, I went back there for a club dinner with 100 and it was a dismal meal. Onglet of beef, cooked at a temperature of "once through a warm kitchen". Inedible. Too bad because the hotel is ideally located and should/could be so much better.

The best part of our experience was a nice window seat looking out to West Sands Beach at sunset. I must tell you I was shocked at the food quality and the service of what appears to be a very fine French restaurant. The French onion soup was incredibly thick, not very hot, and seemed to be from a pre-prepared source. We asked our waiter about the steaks and he replied that they were known for their steaks, so that is what we ordered. We both ordered filets medium, because in our experience most restaurants prepare medium as more medium rare - which is fine with us. Well, I am not sure if we insulted the chef, but the filet came out butterflied so it could be cooked more well done. When I questioned our server about this, he said he had never seen it prepared that way before! I should have sent it back, but I was concerned about what I may get instead. The meat was also tough and chewy. After that, our server was nowhere to be seen and someone else stepped in to finish serving us. The restaurant was not busy, and I overheard another table questioning something, so I believe that things were also off with their food. That was the absolute worst steak we have ever had. There are too many better restaurants in St. Andrews, (we've been four times), and I will never go back to Bistro Du Vin. Really shocked about this experience, and our servers made us feel that we had the problem.

My husband and I had the 4 course Sunday lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed the soup, the seafood buffet and the desert. For a restaurant of this standard, the Sunday roast beef and the rump steak were a bit disappointing as both were dry and tough However, the restaurant supervisor who asked for our feedback was extremely pleasant and helpful.

Compramos un cupón ITISON para el almuerzo para dos. La primera vez que hemos comido aquí y tengo que decir que fue fantástico. No estaba demasiado ocupado tampoco, lo cual fue genial, lo que significaba tiempo para un asiento con una vista fabulosa de la playa. El personal era muy amable y servicial, especialmente Ryan. Realmente nos cuidó bien mientras estuvimos allí y fue responsable de conseguirnos la mesa encantadora. La comida en sí era fantástica. Almuerzo de dos platos con una copa de Prosecco cada uno. ¡Cielo! ! Recomiendo si tienes la oportunidad de comer aquí. Las mejores notas.

We did not have reservations and they were close to closing for the night. The manager got us a seat and the service was wonderful. The manager was attentive and ensured that we were having a good experience. The food was very good and the martini was perfect.

Travel frequently to ST A and had eaten here several times before. Found it just OK. This trip was a major improvement. Food was much better, service was vastly improved, wine list had some nice choices. Good trend line.

We visited Hotel Du Vin for drinks only, staff were excellent and very friendly, service was quick and very efficient .

Comimos aquí en un cupón de Itison que se basa en el menú fijo para dos platos y una botella de vino de la casa. Tengo que decir que por alrededor de 40 esto representa una muy buena relación calidad-precio para una excelente comida. Además, el personal fue excelente en la prestación de un servicio amable y eficiente. Recomiendo encarecidamente comer aquí.

Habiendo cenado anteriormente aquí en septiembre de 2018, esperábamos una experiencia familiar positiva similar. A partir de mayo de 2019, sin embargo, este restaurante ha disminuido significativamente en todos los aspectos. Tras la confirmación de nuestra reserva por la noche, nos recibieron calurosamente y nos sentaron. Desafortunadamente, esta fue una gran farsa. Nos preguntaron si también estábamos alojados en el hotel, que no estábamos, y de ahí en adelante, la calidad del servicio fue una abominación.

Personnel extra très avenant et serviable

Siempre he encontrado que el restaurante del Hotel Du Vin en todo el Reino Unido es muy bueno y esta experiencia fue muy buena.

Good view. Food OK. Were overcharged (with hindsight).

Having enjoyed the imaginative and excellent  quality of the cuisine at the Hotel Du Vin in Glasgow we decided to try a relaxing evening in St Andrews with high expectations for dinner on a special occasion. What a dissapointment! Poor quality food served in the most basic presentation imaginable. All appeared to be mass produced, tasteless and not of the standard expected of a 4 star hotel. A vennison pie that contained ONLY 3 fatty lumps of meat without any pastry.(I wasn't aware that venison had any fat on it). The staff tried their best to recover the situation and I have to commend them for that but at the end of the day it was not their fault and the management need to up their ante in training, food  hygiene and attention to detail if they want guests to enjoy the dining experience.

I wrote a less than complimentary review of this St Andrews eatery in October, but since my husband and I were staying at the hotel this week, we were invited to try the restaurant again by Kevin, the new bistro manager.

There were 7 of us for Sunday lunch and we couldn’t have been more impressed. Kevin and his team were exceptionally welcoming and also made a special effort with the toddler in our group which was much appreciated. The food was delicious, unfortunately a couple of desserts were finished but we very much enjoyed the other options! Would recommend as excellent value for money!

We eat in St andrews every saturday. and we rotate round 5 or 6 places and this restaurant is relatively new to us. This is the second time we have eaten here ( on saturday)and to be honest this is a marvellous place to eat. the food is excellent , the service is first class. we were served by an exceptionally nice young man called Ryan who was polite ,courteous and couldnt do enough for us. The maitre d was excellent and this will now become one our regular places. food first class . I cant fault it and highly recommend. Its also beautifully decorated and is an absolute joy. How on earth this sits so low down on trip advisor is beyond me way better than that

Starters were very good,main courses were a bit dissapointing. Breakfast I am afraid was dry and overcooked.

Tenía un almuerzo de domingo encantador. La mesa del mercado es particularmente impresionante, cargada de carnes frías, paté y mariscos. El personal era muy eficiente y muy acogedor y servicial. Éramos 8 y todos estábamos muy contentos con nuestras opciones. Hermosa vista desde el comedor hacia el paseo marítimo.

On a Sunday night in January in St Andrews a few of the restaurants are shut but this is open and is a great choice. Food was great, wine was fab and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommended

Stayed in this hotel on boxing day.

Service from start to finish was first class. Waiting staff, mostly provided by Kevin, were attentive but not in your face. We were on a Groupon deal for dinner so you are always a bit apprehensive about what the quality of the food will be like, but it was faultless - my husband is a great salt and pepper lover, but none was required! We had a table set in the bay window with a lovely view over the West Sands.

Very average menu. Poor quality ingredients. Exceptionally long wait (45 minutes for our pudding). School boy errors in the presentation of vegetables.

Disfrutamos de un almuerzo relajante con una hermosa vista al mar. Nos saludó y nos sirvió Sue quien nos dio una cálida bienvenida y nos ofreció una selección de mesas en el restaurante. Elegimos del menú de almuerzo de precio fijo de tres platos y todas nuestras opciones llegaron a la mesa bien presentadas y sabrosas. En particular, el plato de raviolis de calabaza vegetariana estaba delicioso. El equilibrio de sabores en este plato era maravilloso y un crédito para el chef Grant. Fue nuestra primera visita al Hotel du Vin street Andrews, pero definitivamente no será la última.

Stayed in the hotel and had great breakfasts. Plenty of variety from cerial to hot cooked breakfast . Dinner menu also had good variety tasty and not overpriced.

Visitamos aquí para el almuerzo durante la semana. Todos los demás parecían estar tomando el té de la tarde con cupones. Teníamos mejillones y el guiso de pescado. Estuvo bien. Lo peor estaba esperando nuestras bebidas! ¡20 minutos por 1 copa de champagne y una cerveza! El servicio fue muy lento!

Comemos regularmente en el restaurante del Hotel du Vin en Bristol y también hemos comido en el bistró de York. La comida y el ambiente fueron divinos en ambos, así que reservamos una mesa en el bistró de la calle Andrews para un regalo de cumpleaños, con altas expectativas.

My wife and I had a voucher for a 3 course lunch with champagne here. The choice was somewhat limited but the food was very good.
