Ostlers Close in Fife

Had a really lovely meal here last weekend! Great food and nice atmosphere. Very close little place. Nice seafood options and love the foraged mushrooms!

Made a last minute booking at this small restaurant last Saturday night and were delighted that we did. The food was simply stunning. I had possibly the best venison I've ever eaten, it was so succulent and tasty, and the desserts were fabulous. Can't wait to go back and although we live an hour's drive away I would happily make a special trip to Cupar simply to eat there.

Over a period of 30 years we have eaten at Ostlers Close on many special occasions and without fail it has always been memorable.Tonight's meal was no exception.We both enjoyed a monkfish based amuse bouche.As starters we had scallops with pork belly and halibut.Both delicious.I had local spring lamb and my wife had beef .We had discussed going half and half but one taste of our respective meals meant both of us wanted to stick with what we had! Amanda recommended a very good crianza Rioja to accompany the lamb- very smooth. As desserts we had an oatmeal meringue with salted caramel ice cream and an upside down apple crumble- both great.Coffees with petit fours to finish a great night.Cupar remains lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant .Thank you.

The meal was a superb meeting of high quality fresh ingredients and culinary genius with meticulous attention to detail. Service was attentive but unobtrusive and timed to our needs. A very enjoyable experience.

We hadn't managed to eat here for a while, but we are so pleased we chose Ostler's Close for our meal out. Now that I need to eat Gluten Free, I sometimes worry about eating out. I didn't have to worry one little bit at Ostler's Close. All of the food was delicious, great choice on the menu and the knowledge and attention to detail is fantastic. Best gluten free bread I have tasted by far and everything is beautifully home made. Thank you.

We were not disappointed in the food at Ostler's Close, which lived up to its reputation. I had lamb and my husband had beef. Both courses were cooked to order and came with a super variety of fresh vegetables. Our desserts were amazing! The marmalade pudding was very tasty and my toasted meringue course was one of the best desserts I have had for a long time. The menu changes daily- there is not a large choice, but what Ostler's do is done very well. Our compliments to the chef. Many thanks. We will be back.

We are regular customers.. certainly over last 12 years or so. This is a favourite restaurant of ours, every single time we have dined here it has been wonderful. Food and service are exceptional. We dined again on 25th, every single course was delicious. To be honest it would be easy to choose any dish on the menu. Jimmy and Amanda always look after us very well. Thanks so much once again for a fabulous evening, always a lovely treat x

Amazing food and customer service. Highly recommend the courtyard!! The steak was cooked too perfection and the calamari with garlic dip was simply delicious!! Can’t wait for my next visit!

It’s time I wrote a review for Ostlers Close. We’ve been clients since it opened and it is still cause to be overjoyed when we visit. It is the standard against which we judge others, here and In Europe and it is still “home” for us. The food, wine and service are consistently excellent and anyone seeking fine dining in this neck of the woods should visit Jimmy and Amanda for a stunning treat.

Went here for dinner having been recommended to us. Fabulously warm welcome from the host and amazing high end food on the menu. A real treat.

the mushroom menu was local and delicious. The wines suggested by the hostess were a great pairing. The quantity was perfect. I would happily go again.

The menu is not large and does not changed much but that is a virtue not a vice! Everything is top quality and, although it really is fine dining, it has none of the pretentiousness such establishments exhibit. Amanda and Jimmy are wonderful hosts.

Friendly, quirky, tiny, accommodating, great attention to detail, still promoting the very best of local seafood, produce, meat and veg as it always has done. If it no longer stands out quite so much locally that is because others have followed its lead down the decades, not because it has declined. This is an important restaurant, for which we should be grateful. It has led and now others follow.

Four of us had dinner here some weeks ago. From start to finish the whole experience was first class. The food offering catered for all tastes and the wine list contained several gems which are hard to find elsewhere. Needless to say both the food and wine were fantastic and offered excellent value for such quality. It is obvious both owners are devoted to the business and all questions were answered in detail.No surprise then that this restaurant has been at the top of its game for many years and hopefully local diners appreciate what is on their doorstep.

We have visited here many times over the years and it just never fails to deliver. Chef Jimmy and lovely Amanda keep conjuring up new ideas and dishes to delight their guests and also offer their classics to keep everyone happy. Wine list continues to be good , varied and tempting and the friendly welcome and cozy ness of the room continues to make guests feel comfortable from the outset. If you have never tried this place, your really must !

From start to finish this is truly a delightful place to experience the best foods of Scotland. The host was wonderful throughout the evening and the food was well composed and very tasty

Wow - what an excellent restaurant. From walking in the door, you are made to feel welcome. The staff are wonderful, and so knowledgeable about the food and wine they serve. There is no rush to get you out the door or to eat your food. And the food - exquisite, fresh, locally sourced and tasted amazing. I can not rate this restaurant highly enough, we will definitely be back. Its definitely got the WOW factor!

We have eaten at Ostlers several times and always enjoyed the food however last Fridayy we were disappointed. The Pigeon breast was not tasty, a little overcooked. The fish disk with five different fishes had two fish, the scallop and the monk fish definitely overcooked.

Absolutely recommend this beautiful wee place. The owner is a wonderful host who had the most amazing hospitable demineer. The food was deliciously plated and was salivatingly impressive. A must try restaurant.

Ate here on Saturday and I must say we were not disappointed. The food is fabulous and the staff were brilliant. We will definitely be back.

Amanda squeezed us in on a late booking after a cancellation, and we're very happy she did. The atmosphere is very intimate and homely, and Amanda is very, very friendly, giving us information about the food and the restaurant and keeping us happy.

Mushrooms a specialty here. The menu never fails to impress. We have been eating here for over twenty years, and always great quality and friendly service.

3rd visit and didn't disappoint (weekend organised around making sure I could get a reservation at this restaurant) Excellent food, excellent service and outstanding hosts, I can't wait to go back again

Locale piccolo e accogliente. La scelta dei piatti contenuta ma ciascuna curata. I piatti ben presentati e la qualità del cibo buona. Il servizio cortese e discreto. Un posto dove tornare.

Amazing restaurant perhaps the best in the area. So friendly owners who make you feel warm and welcome. Local mushrooms a real must try in the tart. Scallops and fresh seafood fish medley platter are a jewel. Do not miss!

Visited midweek, relatively busy with few tables left.

...and it has been for a very long time. I took Madame there for her birthday treat, which is exactly what it turned out to be. We were accompanied by a foodie friend.

Fantastic food. Wonderful local produce. Wild mushrooms handpicked by the chefs was such a treat. We were hoping for a superb meal for a 50th birthday with friends. Didn’t disappoint. Every part of the meal was amazing. Lots of generous extras coming from the kitchen between courses. Highly recommended to visit if staying in Fife

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was very good and came with a smile. Standout for me was the saddle of lamb and the damson tart. We would love to return.

Ostlers is a tiny family run restaurant in Cupar a short 15 minute drive from St Andrews. The husband and wife combo create interesting and delicious menus from what is in season and fresh. I had a mushroom tartin, which was exquisite, as an appetizer followed by the breast of duck, equally sumptuous. The restaurant can only handle about 12 - 14 diners at a time and is located in a small alley off the main road. While hard to find this gem of a restaurant is well worth the effort. There is a decent selection of wines and the dinner prices are reasonable.

This is a fantastic (and for me local) restaurant run by Jimmy and Amanda Graham. We try to eat here whenever we have a special occasion or with friends. You are always assured of a warm welcome and the food is outstanding .

We randomly walked into the Ostler’s and received a very warm welcome by the owner Amanda and were very lucky to get a table.

We knew the very good reputation of OC and it did not fail to come up to expectations. From the booking call through to leaving the experience it was excellent. Amanda and her staff were very attentive and helpful going the extra mile to help with travel arrangements and information. The menu was not extensive but there was a good choice of dishes, additional starter and main courses specials and small added extra courses. Thank you chef, we thoroughly enjoyed your food. A good selection of accompanying drink including excellent house wines at a good price. Thank you, we will be back.

All of our party of 10 really enjoyed tonight’s dinner. Service was hospitable and friendly. Daily fresh menu with 4 choices of appetizers and 4 mains. Selection of desserts were also offered. Wine list was not large but sufficient with good geographic coverage. Small but comfortable space. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed a really excellent meal at Ostlers which is such a friendly and pleasant restaurant situated up a wee close in Cupar. Front of house and owner Amanda was such a nice person and her husband was the chef who produces excellent menus.

I had been recommended to Ostlers Close shortly before visiting Cupar during The Open Championship and we were fortunate to get a table at a weeks notice.

We love this restaurant which is run by a husband and wife team: he does most of the cooking and she supervises the dining room.

First visit to restaurant and found it to be quite dated in appearance and as the evening wore on, very uncomfortable due to room temperature. Therfore, difficult to relax and enjoy the whole experience. All dishes were extremely tasty apart from the fact there was a shot in the pigeon dish. Owners should really look into the room temperature as well as the not so agreeable comments on other restaurants by the owner.

This was a great evening out - I took a friend and had a fantastic meal - with the added extras of Horderves and nibbles - extras with coffee - a small restaurant although a little more than the average price but worth it for the attention atmosphere and special dishes.

My second visit and again the food was outstanding. Our hosts were just wonderful and the food second to none -the gamebag was exquisite

Eaten here several times and it just keeps getting better. It’s Michelin star quality without all the pretentious nonsense that goes with that type of restaurant.

i haven't been here for over 15 years. The restaurant is still run by the same team. The food is still of Michelin star quality without the fuss or excessive price. A small but perfectly formed menu of local produce.

My wife and I eat out regularly and have dined at a few Michelin starred establishments. We visited at the end of September on a Saturday evening for our 4 year wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed.

Everything I had was excellent. A little bisque to begin followed by turbot cooked to perfection. Grouse breasts with skirlie, root vegetables and an absolutely delicious quince jelly made a superb main course and a fantastic cheese plate to finish. My friends all considered their meals to be outstanding - what we ate had been prepared with real care and attention to detail. Petit fours with the coffee were scrumptious. Not ostentatious or pretentious - just great food served in a really welcoming atmosphere. A showcase for Scottish produce!

The menu in this restaurant is not huge which immediately sends a message to the diner that the dishes are all freshly cooked. The mushroom tart tatin was absolutely delicious then followed by a seafood selection consisting of pieces of hake, turbot, scallop and monkfish cooked with vegetables like a stew was very pleasing to the palate. Unfortunately we were overfed with the two courses and could find no space for a dessert. Although we declined the inclination to indulge we could see that the desserts looked mouth watering. This was truly a memorable meal.

Small and intimate with food and flavours that are top notch. It's fine dining and has a price but based on this evening's visit it's well worth it. Thoroughly enjoyable evening and won't be our last visit. 😀😀

We had booked this restaurant after struggling to find a good quality restaurant in the area. However we were truly overwhelmed by this great restaurant. The service was amazing and the friendly atmosphere of this small restaurant meant that it was very comfortable. Although it...

We are kicking ourselves for not trying this restaurant earlier. A delicious meal, cooked with skill and attention to detail.We found the wines well priced and the service warm and friendly.

La pequeña ciudad está a 9 km de la calle fácil Andrews. En la calle no Super Andrews, así que sólo funcionará si tienes coche. Precio que un taxi y fue alrededor de $40 viaje de ida y vuelta. Necesitan súper aquí. Fuimos por recomendación de los lugareños.

We have not been here for years but remember it well as not much has changed in this wee restaurant up a close in the old part of Cupar which, once upon a time, was the county town of Fife long before tate young upstart new town of Glenrothes grabbed that "accolade". Inside does, therefore, look both familiar and a wee bit old fashioned but then the food is still cooked with skill and honesty and served by chef's wife. Dishes are explained with care and without all the flummery of some of the more contemporary foodie places. My venison was tender as could be and the halibut starter fine and with taste. I enjoyed my evening here.

After I cant remember how many years, 35?, chefs wife is the perfect front of house manager, a great lady to chat with when she is not flat out with dinner customers.Chef has a "Dab" hand at fish, get it?The wee problems are the rather dated feel of the restaurant, the dull close entrance, and the difficult parking near by.Food was pretty good, Venison that night not as flavoursome as it looked.The meringue not as good as the dessert fruit.

Wonderful personal friendly service with a small but carefully chosen menu that can be tailored to your preference. Unpretentious and cosy. Don't wait to visit, they've been there over 35 and it can't last forever. We'll miss them when they're gone, and they don't make them like Ostler's any more

Came here after a long day's golf with my father and some friends. The booking changed a few times with numbers. It was no trouble at all to re-arrange despite the very cosy/limited space. The food was wonderful, staff friendly, service efficient and also has a great choice of wine. Will definitely go again.

The menu at Ostlers Close is limited in terms of 3-4 dishes to choose from for each course but you know that all of the dishes are fresh and seasonal and supplied by local producers. Amanda's service is never rushed ,she's happy to spend time advising on both the dishes and the best wines to compliment them. Jimmy's food manages to highlight the flavours of his produce , nothing is masked in a thick sauces or harsh spices. Amanda comes into her own with her fabulous puddings and petit fours .Cannot recommend highly enough, please take your visitors here to taste the best that Fife can offer ..

We enjoyed a beautiful menu last week, a fine selection of fish to savour in our main course accompanied by some very tasty vegetables treated well by marinating and pickling. Truly divine. Thank you to our very own Ostlers Close.

Bonnie and Clyde. Thelma and Louise, Rosemary and Thyme, French and Saunders. Amanda and Jimmy. How complex are the characters themselves? Character driven not plot driven. Don't go here just to eat. You will fail dismally. Amanda and Jimmy and the food and wine are inexorably linked. The food is superb. Right down to the shottie pellet in the pidgeon. Mushrooms on the menu? Jimmy traveled miles through narrow Scottish laneways to find the perfect specimen. And if you plan to travel then Amanda knows some of the most inspiring places to eat that are right up there with Ostler's Close. Ask her. Then go back to the kitchen and thank Jimmy for making your meal one of the best you will ever have. And wear a tie. Or at least a nice tweed jacket. No hoodies here. Scotland's finest. Semper Paratus.

Popped in for dinner last week, so glad we did, it was absolutely delicious. Jimmy and Amanda looked after us very well. All dishes cooked perfectly and presented beautifully on nice hot plates. Everything on the menu is so delicious, it's sometimes hard to choose what to have!!!We have dined here a lot over the last 6 years or so and love the opportunity to pop in when we can. Thank you both once again, see you soon x

We have had several meals at this wonderful restaurant and have never been disappointed. The service is excellent and the food cooked to perfection. Much of the fish and meat is sourced locally and we especially enjoyed the Sea Food Plate and Roast Saddle of Lamb.Desserts were excellent with a delicious Almond Parfait and very good selection of Scottish Cheeses. The coffee is good quality.This is a special restaurant which has maintained a very high standard for over 30 years and serves superb food in a relaxed atmosphere.

After being given a gift voucher for Ostler's Close as a wedding gift we booked a table for the end of January to give us something to look forward to, luckily the restaurant did not disappoint at all!On arrival (we were 10 minutes early and things were still being set up) we were greeted like old friends and shown to our table with no concern for the fact we were early. Drinks were offered up quickly, with my wife opting for a prosecco and me asking for the wine list. Amanda was able to talk us through the wine choices and made an excellent recommendation for us that went well with everything we ate.Onto the food and first up was a fish soup amuse bouche served with mini bread rolls. Ordinarily fish anything is not high on my list of choices but this was very tasty and just the right size to whet my appetite for what was to come next. For starters I opted for Scallops which were cooked perfectly and were a real treat with everything on the plate coming together well to make an excellent dish, while Lisa had a vegetarian tart which she thoroughly enjoyed (it was a hard choice to not go for the pigeon). Onto main courses where I chose fillet steak which was a perfect rare-medium while Lisa had lamb, everything on both plates again worked perfectly with the only thing being left on the plates a couple of small slithers of liver that were served with the lamb, which just weren't to Lisa's taste. Next up was dessert where we shared a meringue with ice cream and a cheese board which we thought served as a lovely end to a very tasty meal.... only it wasn't the end with 3 small sweets each being brought to our table with a chocolate truffle, piece of tablet and a meringue with lemon curd topping dinner off perfectly.Listening to Amanda going about her business was an absolute treat with her obviously caring dearly about every guest enjoying their dinner, taking an interest in everybody's reason for visiting and generally being a wonderful host.All in all, I would recommend a visit here to anyone looking for excellent local food cooked amazingly well.

Visited this restaurant on 30th Dec 2016, with friends.The homely family restaurant is just amazing, Amanda the host was simply ' The Best' extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. The wine recommendations were fabulous.Scallops, game all showcased wonderfully.Greatly enjoyed the good service, great food.Will visit again Thank you

Five of us had a wonderful night in Ostlers. We were warmly welcomed into a lovely, cosy room. The menu was specially for us as one could not eat cheese and it tasted beautiful. The suggested wine went well and we all came out saying we would go again, as soon as possible.Thank you!

Lovely food, excellent service and a very friendly hostess. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would strongly .

Been to this restaurant many times, never had a bad meal. The owners are able to modify the dishes to allow for allergies etc.Slightly over priced, but this is acceptable as all cooked to order and the nature of the restaurant. Not a place for a family of hooligans, but more for the specialised diner who likes good food.

We are lucky to have on our doorstep a very special restaurant which offers a taste of the region on a plate. The treats range from exquisite wild mushrooms and varied selections of delicate fish lovingly presented to home-made plum jelly and mouthwatering cheeses,fine wines and creamy custards.

There is always a warm welcome from Amanda, co owner of this well established little restaurant. Meanwhile her husband, Jimmy, is busy creating culinary masterpieces in the kitchen. Book early because seating is limited.The menu is concise and changes frequently as they use locally available seasonable produce. Wild fowl and sea food features regularly in imaginative ways.Excellent wine cellar.All in all a real treat.

Very difficult to find and an extremely limited menu. That's all I can say that's in any way negative. The rest was simply fantastic. Great welcome by the owner and nothing was too much trouble. Altering the limited menu was no problem and so catered for our dietary requirements. Everything was served hot (except the complimentary sorbet which was wonderful). Fabulous food, great banter with the owner, and wonderful complimentary petit fours too.Well priced for superb quality - go there and tell them Baz sent you. She won't know who that is but it sounds good.

A delightful individually prepared meal with all four of us being amazed by the quality. Each dish had been cooked to perfection and displayed in an interesting fashion. What a shame we were just passing through.

Small restaurant tucked away off the Main Street in Cupar. Visited again with friends and it was just as good as our previous visits. The restaurant is fairly small but has a nice cosy atmosphere, the wine list is extensive and the range of speciality beers is a nice touch. It's sounds silly but the menu choice was limited but a few of us struggled to make decisions because the choice of dishes was fantastic. The food again was excellent, portions not too big but everything that came to our table was delicious. Must get back again soon. Not cheap but highly recommended for that special night out.

It's been a while since I last dined here, It won't be long before I return! Once again a delightful and delicious meal placed on the table to savour. Jimmy and Amanda continue to maintain the highest of standards in the welcome you get, and the food you receive...Long may it continue!

Possibly the best restaurant in Fife. A good choice of Fish dishes always available with an excellent selection of wines to compliment

We last visited Ostlers Close some time ago and were pleased to discover that standards have remained very high. The reasons are not difficult to identify. The restaurant is reached by entering a small passageway off the main street in Cupar. the room is small and does not have many tables so given its success it is essential to book ahead. The welcome one receives from the hostess the wife of the chef is very warm and she never fails to chat with all her guests. The menu changes regularly specialising in local and seasonal foods. I had the hake with langoustine sauce as a starter followed by fillet steak in a wine sauce and both were elegantly presented and of gourmet standard. The wines are reasonably priced as is the food. Indeed I noticed that my steak was priced the same as a far inferior dish at a restaurant near my home. Fine dining at a mid range price.

Once again Jimmy and Amanda excelled. Warmest of welcomes, beautifully cooked and presented food. Could easily eat everything on the menu. Piping hot on arrival (very rare these days). Very very tasty and best in area without a doubt.Looking forward to our next visit.Thanks to all

I reviewed this restaurant last year and it's got even better. The Graham family have been running this place for some 35 years and it's just wonderful. The food on offer is the freshest from the local area and all the ingredients are just sublime. Small choice on menu but every single item is superb, just amazing. Great wine list with some stunners to delight. The small and intimate dinning room simply adds to this restaurants charm. Staff are very helpful and know what they are serving and are full of enthusiasm for what they do. We've been lucky to dine in many top class restaurants around the St Andrews and Fife area and this is one of the very best, if not the best.

I had never been to Ostlers Close before and thought it was perhaps too posh for me. It couldn't have been further from the truth. We were made so welcome, Amanda explained the menu and was so attentive when looking after my Mother who is partially sighted.The food was amazing, beautifully cooked and presented.I had a fish soup, pepper and cheese tart, local lamb and a raspberry and almond tart. The house wine hit the spot and the Petit four and coffee the perfect end to our meal.My first visit, but we are planning our next visit.

This restaurant has been going for a long time but the owners seem to treat every meal as though it the first to be judged. They do excellent fine dining food in a friendly and pleasant restaurant. Amanda gives a friendly welcome to everyone and Jimmy is an amazing chef. The meals were finely judged and beautifully presented. It is not a big restaurant so booking is essential . We had a really good celebration holiday meal.

Went to this tiny restaurant with three kids. Already when I made the reservation the owner inquire whether she should prepare special pasta for the younger kiddos - I declined but thought to myself that this must be a really good restaurant - not one of these tourist rip offs with chicken nuggets or fish fingers.The restaurant is tiny and in a small alley off the Main Street. It felt more like entering someone's private house. The menu is hand written and rather limited - exactly the way we like it. The owner personally attends to all the guests and explains every one of the delicious options. Her husband Jimmy was cooking in the small kitchen. It became very clear that this is one of these rare restaurants where the owners took personal pride in running the place with careful attention to details.The dishes were very good no question and we all thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience.Only downside is probably the price - somewhat above average but @ the end you pay for quality and that's clearly what you will get

We went here for a special occasion and, to be honest, were quite disappointed. The restaurant was quiet the evening we were there and there was no background music to give the place any atmosphere. The food was ok but not outstanding. I'm struggling to remember what I had! We have been to other fine dining restaurants and are happy to pay for a good experience. Unfortunately this wasn't one.The lady of the house was extremely overbearing and we couldn't get rid of her. We went out to have a romantic meal and spent it hearing about all her ailments, the cost of getting table linen laundered, her daughter's job etc etc. I assume she didn't have enough to do as it was a quiet night in March. There is a fine line between friendly and overfriendly and she overstepped it by miles!!

We had a delicious meal with fresh ingredients and innovative recipes. It was especially important for me as I am Coeliac and the meal was served with the glutenous bits removed and replaced with better substitutes.. I am delighted to report that I have not suffered a single inkling of any cross contamination which I often do when dining out except when dining at Ostler's Close.The service was beyond reproach and the atmosphere was delightfully informal but always on the ball.

Went to Ostlers Close for the graduation dinner of my daughter from St. Andrews and was not disappointed. The seafood was exceptionally fresh and served in a very innovative manner. Don't let the decor put you off, you will get fine dining in a very quaint setting. Wish I could go back.

Hier aßen wir an unserem zweiten Abend in Schottland. Wie überall in Schottland sollte man hier vorab reservieren. Wir würden freundlich begrüßt und waren fast die einzigen Nicht-Stammgäste. Es gibt eine vegetarische Karte, so dass wir beide etwas finden konnten. Das Essen wird mit regionalen Zutaten zubereitet und uns wrde sogar erklärt, was woher kommt. Unsere beiden Hauptspeisen (vegetarisch und Fisch) waren sehr lecker. Aber der Kracher war das Pannacotta zum Schluss. Wow! So ein leckeres Pannacotta haben wir noch nie gegessen und wir gehen sehr viel essen.

I've wanted to try this restaurant for a long time now and thankfully due to a last minute cancellation managed to get a table. We were greeted by friendly and knowledgeable owners and instantly made to feel welcome. Great chat and fantastic service. The menu, although small comprises of quality, local and seasonal ingredients which made choosing difficult as I happily would have eaten everything on the menu. All food was cooked perfectly, well seasoned and full of flavour. Between the three of us we could not find a fault. Absolutely stunning meal. The extra starter taster and birthday candle made our night all the more special.

A really nice little restaurant (even if the decor is a bit dated).The food is fresh, seasonal and wonderfully cooked although the lady of the house is a bit overbearing!

Located up one of cupars closes oysters is well worth the money and is one of the best meals we have tasted all year. To have such a gem on our doorstep is a great find. Friendly personal and relaxed service alongside high end food using fabulous locally sourced ingredients. Some modern touches and clever ideas delivering dishes that surpass expectation. More peo should support this amazing restaurant and spread the word. No taxi or train ride needed for top quality food!

We ate with another couple last Friday who are regulars and always highly recommended we try Ostlers. We did and were certainly not disappointed. The food was clearly freshly and locally sourced, sensibly priced for the quality, well presented and simply delicious. Clean plates all round across 3 courses. Service was excellent. We will return and would advise others to visit as well.

This tiny family-run restaurant is a revelation! The food is all locally sourced and only in-season produce is used. The owners do the all the cooking and run front of house with such efficiency and warmth. It is a fabulous place to enjoy exquisitely cooked and beautiful in a cosy, convivial atmosphere.

It's like dinning in someone's front room but with an amazing chef serving up incredible food! The hosts and staff are always very friendly. Atmosphere is relaxed and cosy which is rare in a restaurant serving such a high standard of food. Recommend the scallops (always brilliant) and also the Sticky Toffee Pudding to finish (it's usually a special and is the BEST I have ever tried)! Perfect for family occasions as they welcome all! Always visit for family birthdays and they are always so nice! :)

A wonderful dining experience with excellent food, fantastic service and delightful hosts. I have never experienced a such delicious meal and would recommend to anyone who would like to to try a fine dining experience.

Had three girlfriends up from Cheshire and chose this restaurant from a prior experience. It didn't disappoint- excellent innovative food, very friendly service from the couple who own the restaurant and good value for money. We will return, thank you.

Lovely restaurant with great menu choices cosy atmosphere and excellent wine list , friendly service

Excellent food in an intimate setting, restaurant is a must if in or around Cupar. Seasonal foods. They defiantly know their stuff. Wines-food. Service excellent.

Booked for new years eve. Have eaten here before. As usual, find it difficult to decide which dish to eat, as all they read amazing. Luckily my partner likes to share so that helps a little. The atmosphere is great. You are not hurried out the door after your meal. Amanda's wine recommendation for our meal was spot on. Meal cooked to perfection. Visiting St. Andrews? Make your way over to Cupar and try this resturant. You will not be disappointed.

We were taken by friends who live in Cupar and know the restaurant and owners well. The food, service and ambiance were well up to expectations based on Trip Advisor’s reports. Lovely fresh local food, nicely cooked and presented with little well balanced flavour surprises on each plate. The turbot which was available that night was a joy. Would be very pleased to go back at any time.

I've been eating here for 30 years and each visit is a pleasure. Amanda and Jimmy take great care over ingredients, cooking and presentation. Service is attentive but not intrusive. We also held our wedding reception at Ostlers' Close where the exacting standards of cooking and presentation were enjoyed by our friends and family.

Took my wife to celebrate her 60th birthday. Made very welcome and given a breakdown of how the menu is set out. There was also the added bonus of a small, separate, well chosen wine list to match courses (this was to celebrate the 34th anniversary of Ostlers Close. You could mix and match to suit your own taste from aperitif to dessert wine with excellent choices or red and white to accompany starters and main courses. Every course was delicious with just the right amount of time between each one and the home-made petit-fours rounded off a perfect meal.

Outstanding cooking with fresh ingredients. Do not miss this lovely, small restaurant where e dishes are different yet superb.

Oslers is a small and cosy family run restaurant which has been an institution in Cupar (up Oslers Close off the main street) for over 25 years. dad is chef (with help when available from kids) and mum is front of house (with help from kids when needed). they have a number of loyal and oft-repeating guests and friends, but are very welcoming to all. The food is of a high standard and usually of local produce. A good wine list. Not the cheapest, but well worth it if you appreciate quality and an intimate atmosphere.

I have been going to this restaurant with my family and friends for many years and not once have we had cause for complaint of any kind. The proprietors Jimmy and Mandy Graham always make their customers feel extremely welcome. The food is out of this world with seasonal local produce being served to an extremely high standard in a cosy intimate setting. The wine list is also exceptional.

The approach to this body restaurant gives little indication of the culinary excellence therein. Cosy, intimate and atmospheric. The scallop starter was fine, the lamb top notch and the mirabelle plum tart first rate. Service was acceptable send the wine list interesting. The choice of foraged mushrooms was outstanding. Presentation grand.All in all a great choice for a calibre meal.

This is the second visit for me and I can say that the quality remained high on both occasions.The menu is packed with local food in season, which certainly makes for difficult choices as there were a few options that looks very appealing, however when it came down to it each of us were extremely pleased with our selection.Looking forward to the next time!Menus

We visited on a family occasion and were welcomed warmly on arrival by the hostess who is the wife of the chef. This is a small family owned restaurant with a limited number of tables so booking is essential. The food is exceptional and is best described as fine dining at a reasonable price. The dishes are unusual and change frequently. I started with a pigeon and followed with hake both of which were beautifully presented and delivered a range of tempting flavours
