Peat Inn in Fife

I took my son who is at Uni for a lovely dinner. Beautifully but simply decorated. Friendly, professional service and the food was superb. We went with the 4 course menu which was perfect. We avoided the wine pairing as we were driving. The only slight downside was that the tables who had ordered the wine pairing menus had constant explanations of the wines by the Sommelier which we could hear perfectly. The restaurant is small so I would assume this is hard to avoid. Prices are on the high side but to be expected. All in all a very enjoyable evening.

What a lovely establishment. This was our first time staying overnight, but we’ve been lucky to eat at the restaurant on a number of occasions. As always, the tasting menu was prepared to a high standard. The staff were friendly and attentive. The fire was on in the lounge, so we got to enjoy a drink next to the fire which is always lovely. The suites were lovely. As expected, everything was to a high standard and we loved having our breakfast in the loft area. We had one tiny quibble - the lack of water pressure in the shower. But overall an amazing experience that is highly recommended!

As always, everything was just as we’ve come to expect. Delightful menu prepared and served flawlessly by friendly staff. this time we stayed in the rooms and the accommodation is similarly faultless with everything just so. Breakfast was healthy, simple with numerous options. Looking forward to our next visit already.

We ordered the tasting menu on our visit and were not disappointed. The white fish dish (cod and mussel based) was the best white fish I have ever had. I had to stop myself from licking the plate. The restaurant is beautiful to sit in as well as the lounge. We weren’t drinking alcohol on this occasion but the drinks menu looked excellent with some luscious wines on offer. Only comments would be on parking (very tight and lack of spaces- if you can get a taxi and enjoy a glass of wine I would) and the restaurant was a little chilly compared to the lovely cosy lounge.

This was a second visit for my wife and I. last time, several years ago, we stayed for one night and had the 6 course tasting menu. and it was first class. This time we stayed for 2 night for the Gourmet Stay. having the A La Carte menu on the first night and the Tasting menu on the second. Just like our first visit the food was delicious. The service was first class, friendly but discrete , the staff seemed to appear at your table just when you wanted them but then disappear, returning at just the right moment. The dishes of the tasting menu seemed small at first but as the meal continued we realised that the portions were spot on, allowing you enjoy each course without ever feeling over full. The two highlights for us were the loin of roe deer and the final sweet course. Both these dishes were paired with wines so perfect that the food and wine perfectly complimented each other. This was especially true for the sweet. This was a chocolate and passion fruit mouse and a banana sorbet paired a dessert wine, Domain Fontanel Maury 2019. My wife and I are no fans of dessert wines often finding them so sweet as to be almost sickly, but this combination of chocolate, sorbet and sweet wine was fantastic and we finished our meal with massive grins on our faces. Thank to all the kitchen staff, table staff and sommelier. A buffet breakfast is served in your room and you can forget coffee, toast and marmalade, although if that's all you want you can order just that. You ordered your meal the night before and staff arrive to set up the meal in the dining area in the upper level of your suite. Again first class service.

We had been meaning to visit for ages and finally did so this month. We also stayed overnight and had breakfast, As they have very few rooms they do not provide a full cooked breakfast, but deliver a continental breakfast to your room. However, this was excellent. Served and set up in your own living room table with proper cutlery and cloth napkins. A great start to the day. Dinner was also very good, with one or two small gripes. My pork starter and intermediate course of quail were both superb. As for mains, my wife's halibut was average and did not look particularly appealing. My beef was well cooked, although nut quite as unctuous as I would have expected. The sweetbread was very good, but the tongue was cold. We both had the same rhubarb dessert, which was very good. Perhaps a little bit more ginger would make it even better. The amuse buches and petit fours were excellent and made for a very filling meal. As for the wine; I know that restaurants need a mark up, but over 4 times retail price is a bit steep. Overall I would have rated our experience as 9/10, but I think that a couple of points keep it below a *****.

Visited here whilst staying in Fife for a few days and it was brilliant. Went on a week night so was quiet but doesn’t take anything away from the restaurant and if anything made it a more romantic visit. Went with the tasting menu. Every course was very well presented and just seemed to get better and better with each course that arrived. Have to make a special mention for the venison dish. Although when I first seen it, I thought it was overcooked but on eating wow. Probably the best tasting venison I have had and it cut like a hot knife through butter, superb. The staff were very welcoming and couldn’t have been more helpful and knew and fully understood the food being served. Fantastic visit and well worthy of the Michelin Star as I have eaten at a couple and it’s up there with the best.

A truly fabulous dining experience and perfect overnight stay at the Peat Inn Restaurant and Rooms. We checked in late afternoon and were delighted with our split level suite, which was beautifully furnished and a stones throw away from the restaurant - the complimentary champagne, sherry and chocolates were a lovely touch! We popped over for a pre dinner drink to the restaurant where the staff quickly lit the fire, brought our drinks and regaled us with the long history of the Inn. A quick change in our room before returning for a truly delicious taster menu extravaganza and matching wines, topped off with the opportunity to meet Chef Smeddle. A continental breakfast delivered to our room the next morning topped off a truly fabulous and special overnight stay. Would totally recommend!

We came here for dinner after hearing so much about it from a couple of friends who have been a few times. Absolutely blown away and can now see why they have been saying we have to go for dinner here. Everything was just perfectly setup for an amazing evening. From the moment we stepped in to the lounge area and received a genuinely warm welcome to the moment we left couldn't be faulted in any way. Every course was delicious and a real work of art on the plate. We went for the tasting menu because every course just sounded great and we weren't disappointed. My personal favourite was the venison main course, served with venison haggis and such perfectly cooked venison. My girlfriend on the other hand cannot stop raving about the cod loin which had been cooked in a smoked butter. And dessert was a real show-stopper of a chocolate souffle. The service was friendly and personal without being overbearing and the knowledge of the waiting staff and their wine recommendations really made the night very special. We will most definitely be returning for another meal in the near future! Can't recommend enough!

We had a delicious lunch with perfect service in a lovely room. We were a party of 9 having the set lunch menu. The restaurant overcharged us by £ 535 so always check your bill To be fair when we challenged them after we got home they came clean but that doesn’t leave as good a taste as the food did

Came for a birthday dinner and stayed overnight. Room was comfy and pleasant. Our dinner was distinctly underwhelming. Not by any stretch Michelin star standard. Staff not really interested but did in the end turn up with birthday sweet treats so that was a bonus

Delicious food and wonderful service. They catered to our pescatarian diet really well. Wonderful flavours and ingredients. We will be back!!

Family get together, everything was perfect, service, good, accommodation and very helpful staff. The weather wasn't amazing but you cannot do anything about that. All that humans can control was perfect ❤️

Fantastic. We had an amazing dinner at The Peat Inn, easily the best meal I've had in years. The whole experience was so classy - the decor, the ambiance, the manner of the staff, the wine list, but most importantly the food itself - simply delicious.

This has 3 Michelin stars. Situated in the village of Peat inn. People travel from all over the world to go and visit this restaurant I need his fine dining experience. In my opinion this should be the top 100 restaurants of the world

We had a lovely evening here. The service was warm and impeccable, not too fussy. The food was outstanding. I'm dropping one star because I felt that the first course of crab was erring on the style over substance side (way too many tweezer-place components,...

An outstanding MICHELIN RESTAURANT serving cuisine of the highest quality.Presentation delightful with an interesting and varied wine list. Service exemplary.

Dinner and staff were very good. I must say it was not a Michelin caliber restaurant. Order came out incorrect, some courses amazing & some were not:(

We went for my Graduation from St. Andrews The staff were lovely and attentive The setting and scenery was lovely and super clean Overall really enjoyable experience totally worth the money. Food was really nice

I have only visited two Michelin restaurants, both in Scotland! Our lunch at the Peat Inn was superb. Excellent menu and very pleasant staff. Our lunch was one of the most memorable meals we have had and would love to return one day.

The service for our experience was perfunctory and a little stiff. Starters were good, particularly the scallops, however, the lamb was small and bland and my wife's halibut was salty. We both expected much better from a Michelin star restaurant.

Just home after a lovely lunch at The Peat Inn restaurant. Lovely food, served in a relaxed atmosphere where the staff were attentive but unfussy. Hope to return in the near future.

We celebrated my birthday today with lunch. We both chose the 4 courses and every course including the amuse bouchée were delicious. The staff were very attentive and helpful and the service fantastic. I hadn’t eaten at the Peat Inn for a number of years...

There is nothing that we don’t like. Excellent service, beautiful food which is a delight to the eye as well as the taste buds. We used an Itison voucher for a 5 course tasting menu at lunch. Yes, the portions are small but the flavours...

Stayed here with voucher for dinner/bed/breakfast £375. Drinks and additional courses extra. Rooms lovely if our type of room had stairs up to living area and down to bed/bath rooms. Worked ok but difficult to carry cup of tea to bed in morning! Views beautiful...

Lovely lunch,great service,wonderful food in relaxing surroundings An exceptional meal. Such creativity has to be applauded and the presentation adds to the whole experience.

The 6-course tasting menu dinner fully lived up to its Michelin-starred billing. One of the waiters from France) enriched our experience with his knowledge of wines and his humour.

Let me preface this by saying we’re foodies - we lived in Manhattan for eight years, maintained a membership to the James Beard Foundation for many years, and have visited many high end and Michelin starred restaurants both in the US and internationally. And hands...

So , for my 50th we decided to try this Michelin starred restaurant and rooms. Lots of great reviews on here so that helped choosing. We were staying for the night so on arrival headed to the “rooms” building and were met by the friendly...

Very disappointing. Had been on a number of occasions but this time really not good. Receptionist glued to her seat, spoke briefly with instructions. Heavy door which we had to struggle with ( we are in our seventies.) Went to the bar for a drink...

Fabulous food and service. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Slightly disappointed with the wine. £75 pp and only a small glass. Been to places where you had your wine topped up. Unfortunately not here. All in all it did not spoil...

We chose a delicious three course meal which was served in a very friendly atmosphere. There was nothing that was too much trouble for the staff and we were made to feel very comfortable. Although there was a bone in my starter it didn't stop...

2nd visit to the Inn, the food & service in the restaurant was excellent. The sore point was the room. Downstairs was fine nice & clean. The upper lounge was extremely tired with dirty marks over the walls. A old dirty sofa bed & footstool...

Stayed for 2 nights at this super restaurant / hotel. Food first class and service certainly matched that. Would recommend for a short stay.

Sad to say, in my opinion, food at Peat Inn isn’t what it used to be.... especially in the pre-covid days of lovely lunch menu. We had a very bland, unexciting 3 course meal £75 per person .... not one outstanding flavour, what looked liked...

We first visited in February and were blown away. Second visit even better. Why? My wife though the food OK last time but I thought it good, this time we both agreed outstanding, certainly Michelin one star. The friendliness and warmth of the staff shone...

We had the tasting menu which was very good . My favourite courses were the onion dish with ox cheek and the souffle, however every course was good. We didn't have the paired wine but asked for a couple of glasses which would accompany the...

We’d gone to the Peat Inn for dinner about 11 years ago and always wanted to get back once they were awarded their Michelin star. We stayed overnight and also had the tasting menu for dinner. The accommodation was a lovely suite overlooking their gardens,...

Fantastic stay - food was amazing. We enjoyed the tasting menu with the prestige matched wines - highly recommend. So glad we had the wines as they just complemented the food perfectly. It was great also to get the detail on the wine from the...

The restaurant food was incredible, really lovely tasting menu, with service that was initially a bit intrusive but did calm down. Breakfast the following morning was also very good. The room that we stayed in was nice but very tired looking / rips and marks...

I was recently gifted some vouches for a stay and dinner at the Peat Inn and was really looking forward to our visit. I was particularly looking forward to finally trying their food. The room while nice did feel somewhat dated but it was cosy...

Very welcoming service. All staff very knowledgeable about what they are serving and extremely attentive. The food was superb as you would expect. I particularly enjoyed the seared trout, truly amazing. I highly recommend it.

Stayed here for one night including dinner and had an excellent time. Really friendly helpful staff. Rooms are fantastic with bedroom/ bathroom downstairs and living area upstairs. Lovely little bottle of fizz and chocolates waiting on our arrival. As it was a lovely day, sat...

We have loved previous visits to the Peat Inn and were excited to be returning with friends for a night away after a planned trip didn't go ahead in 2020. Started with some confusion about the time of our table booking, then in our room...

We absolutely loved this place, this is now the second time we have dined here, the food is fantastic and flawless, the serving staff are fantastic and professional. We really did love this place and can't wait to come back.

We stayed over so a relaxing evening ahead. We had the taster menu and it did not disappoint. The was as you would expect well presented and each of the courses pulled you palate in different directions. Sadly I did not retain the full list...

We visited the Peat Inn prior to lockdown 2020, I was 8 months pregnant at the time. When asked about any dietary requirements I pointed out that I was pregnant which meant there was things I couldnt eat, and the servers response was "you'll need...

Everything was as we would have wished for. The tasting menu a delicious wide range of flavours, I took ages to choose my wine and they did not mind in the least from a brilliant list including corovin wines. Staff very friendly and all knowledgeable...

I've been here 3 times with friends and have not been disappointed. Every single dish is outstanding. The attention to detail and the quality are brilliant. The staff are attentive and professional. I can not wait to return. Deserving of the star they have received.

We had the pleasure of dining and staying at the Peat Inn to celebrate a friend’s birthday! The meal was exceptional from start to finish. Service was faultless. We had a table in the converted bar area next to the fire, which was lovely on...

Had a meal here to celebrate our wedding anniversary . Had always wanted to dine here and were not disappointed. Very good service, good food and well presented.

Possibly the best meal we have ever had. The food was extraordinary and cooked to perfection. The flavours were beautifully balanced with nothing dominating any dish. The vegetarian options were every bit as flavoursome as the meat ones and beautifully inventive. Pumpkin and pear soup...

i can only comment on the food and drink, not having experienced a stay and all I can say is it's the best I've ever had. Magnificent and a pleasure of the kind I have not had before.

This place is an exquisite haven, away from the beaten track and totally imaginative with its cuisine. The quality of the dishes is exceptional and the wines including by single glass wonderful. Definitely worth a detour and if possible you should stay the night- if...

Had a superb stay at the Peat Inn. The room was beautiful. We had the tasting menu and the classic wine pairing . Every course was stunning . Special thanks to Nico whose charm and enthusiasm made our evening. We cannot wait to return.

I was there last week with a friend/colleague and had the most wonderful of experiences with the food and the pairing of wines, right from the moment you walk through the door it feels you are in a really special place. Staff are so lovely...

We stayed for one night. The location is a tad off the beaten track and doesn’t offer any view of note, but it’s well presented, modern, clean and the staff in the hotel part of the facility in particular were friendly and very accommodating. Our...

Restaurant lived up to our expectations. Food was of the highest presentation and every plate tasted fantastic. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly.

Our first trip away for 18 months. The food was lovely, some dishes we liked better than others. The wine list was surprisingly small. The rooms are to a high standard very comfortable and quiet, The super looking shower had very disappointing water pressure. Breakfasts...

We've been lucky to eat in a few good (michelin starred) restaurants in last few years but not recently because of the covid lockdown. This was frankly a disappointment. We thought menu for "a la carte" was far more in keeping with table d'hote. Two...

Four went for dinner. Had taster menu. All very nice but nothing stuck in the mind,. Good wine flight. COVID safe

Booked lunch for today and unfortunately got caught in a 3 hour traffic jam. Called to tell them- reception staff were so pleasant and understanding (and even cared enough to ask if we had water in the car to keep hydrated in the sun)! They...

We absolutely adored this place, they managed to fit us in at the last minute and we couldn't be happier we ended up here. From start to finish everything was perfect, the greeting by the staff, the table, the ambience, the food. The staff where...

My husband and I had a fabulous meal here for our 33 year anniversary. The perfect way to celebrate! The food that Geoffrey and his team produce is exceptional and the service was delightful. Will definitely go back before our 34th anniversary.

A fabulous lunch at Peat Inn. The restaurant have made ample modifications to all for social distancing, sanitising and minimal contact throughout your visit, while not taking away from their high standard of service. The Chef’s menu was delicious from start to finish, with two...

The Peat Inn is a bit remote located in the Fife countryside but certainly worth the effort to get there. Covid precautions were very good and we felt entirely comfortable. The food was excellent and service was also very good with friendly staff. The restaurant...

As we return to some normality of life; specifically a good lunch with a glass of wine and indoors, I crave fine dining. I crave a beautifully crafted daily fresh menu that does not disappoint on the plate; presented by wonderfully polite, thoughtful and well...

I love the Peat Inn. The food and wine are amazing. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Quite possibly the best restaurant in Scotland

Was so looking forward to this night. Food was lovely as were staff but ridiculously overpriced. £190 per head. Mental

A hidden gem in the heart of Fife, the inconspicuous location of The Peat Inn is overpowered by its reputation, providing an easy choice for where to dine while on holiday in St Andrews. The delightful welcome by our host was both friendly and courteous,...

Now the dust has settled on the christmas period I can sit back, smile and recall the lovely lunch we enjoyed in December. The menu understandably is shorter than pre covid days but clearly just as much thought and care had gone into it. As...

Visited today with my husband and son. Had the 4 course festive lunch which was excellent. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Very relaxed experience.

I’ve dined at a number of Michelin star restaurants in London and, though some can be a little pretentious, they are normally reasonably atmospheric. This had the atmosphere of a wake. I had looked forward to eating here, as it is on our doorstep, however...

We had a long overdue luxury break last weekend and it was worth waiting for (due to Covid). We received a warm welcome in the afternoon & checked into our suites. They are lovely, we personally do not like the confinement of just a hotel...

This was a 2019 Christmas gift, rearranged twice. Our visit was the night before Fife went into Tier 3. The meal itself was fabulous and I particularly appreciated being able to have a starter, intermediate and main. The tables were well spaced out and we...

Had a fantastic lunch at the Peat Inn - 6 months later than expected due to the current pandemic. But it was certainly worth the wait, well organised for the current restrictions, the staff were very helpful and informative. Will certainly visit again.

We visited last weekend and found the accommodation and restaurant extremely safe. Staff as always were helpful, meals in the restaurant were excellent and socially distanced. Throughout our two night visit we felt safe and looking forward to returning.

We stayed the night, and had the tasting menu. Suffice to say dinner was outstanding, each course was wonderful, extremely tasty and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable and the matching wines different and matched wonderfully. Is it cheap? No. Is it good value? YES...

We have looked at going here for a while and whilst we thought it may not be great with all the covid measures in place we gave it a go.... And were very pleased we did. The layout has had to change and this may...

This is absolutely everything you want from high end dining. Lovely space, terrific service, wonderful food. We were taken right through to the end room, with lovely garden views. Two mirrored walls mean everyone in that space gets to see the garden (and the sunset)....

5 stars - 6 course tasting menu with amuse bouche and petit fours for my wife's birthday, great culinary experience

We last visited thirteen years ago and this time visit did not disappoint. The food (tasting menu) and service in the restaurant were excellent. The accommodation is very good as was the breakfast. All of the staff and set up are very Covid aware.

Visited for the second time. Food this time just as good as last time. The breads they serve are amazing as is the wide selection of wines. The food is of the highest quality in taste and presentation and would definitely recommend a visit if your staying up in saint andrews...in fact I would say it’s a must! Will definitely return for a third visit...

We called here for lunch to celebrate a friends 80th birthday. From arriving the staff were excellent they explained the procedure for a 1 way system around the restaurant while showing us to our table. When we ordered our meal on of my friends said no Caviar on here meal. They served amouch bouch to us and when they came there was one without caviar which we thought was excellent. So from start to finish everything was excellent.

Peat Inn is a tiny village near St Andrews in Fife, dominated by the restaurant with rooms of the same name. Rooms are suites, with bedroom/bathroom downstairs and sitting room upstairs where breakfast is served. Michelin starred chef serves fabulous food in the renowned restaurant. Try the 6-course taster menu. Extraordinary. Also superb wine list.

We were lucky to bag a last minute table at the Peat Inn and had a superb lunch! The The menu was great for me but needed a bit of tweaking for my sister but they were very happy to oblige and made no fuss. The whole experience was amazing...the food (and presentation) First Class A* and the staff were excellent - made the whole experience the most memorable during our road trip to Scotland. Pics do not do justice to this place - please do go and enjoy it if you can!

Restaurant has rearranged seating due to the virus but still very welcoming , have been several times but not recently , the standard is as high as ever . Was offered the chance to select one course from the chefs menu as part of the 3 course lunch menu . Service great as usual and the food up to the usual high standard , hope to be back soon .

Not enough words to describe how much my Mum and I enjoyed our visit for lunch on Tuesday. After two periods of lockdown and Mum shielding it was a delight to be out and about and enjoying such fantastic food and hospitality. The staff were so engaging paying real attention to each table. Each made great effort with the "new normal" put in place at the restaurant. The food was sublime. Such great flavour combinations. Mum pushed the boat out and had a Black Forest Martini...described as the best cocktail she'd tasted...praise indeed.

We had a wonderful evening at the Peat Inn a couple of Fridays ago, our first visit following their recent reopening post-lockdown. The food was (as ever) fantastic, we enjoyed good company and (apart from the staff wearing face masks, spaced out tables and a one way system to get to the bathroom) it felt very much like business as usual. The waiting staff seem buoyant despite having to wear face masks. We’re looking forward to our next visit, although it sounds like we’ll have to book soon: the restaurant is apparently busy! Much enjoyed!

We are annual visitors to this established Michelin starred restaurant with rooms.We had another excellent overall experience this year in a gourmet break postponed from our usual April slot.We were aware of a slight fall off in service standards on our first night in the restaurant and were disappointed in the inedible "boiled eggs"on our first breakfast.However,normal excellent service was resumed on our second day/evening with the tasting menu one of the best we have sampled here over the years.Loo,ing forward to next years visit already.

Lovely restaurant in beautiful surroundings. Good awareness of the Covid precaution: tables spread out, one way walking system and toilet use are limit to one person. Staff had their face mask on.We were a table of four for lunch.Very limit lunch menu.Starters was a choice of two : cold soup or mackerel.Main course : Roast pork or mackerel. Dessert: A choice of four items.Nothing on the menu was WOW.Staff was friendly. The restaurant and toilets was spotless clean.

Superb cooking - well exceeded expectations based on the menu and easily deserving it’s Michelin star. The Smeddles have been running this restaurant for 14 years and have got it right. A series of nice rooms allow guests to stay over, with breakfast served in the room. The kitchen is known for its bread and baking, which was fine, but the other food really shone. Appetisers were a red pepper hummus, nicely balanced (14/20), and a tartar of coley with avocado and lime (16/20). The six course tasting menu started with a gazpacho with cucumber gel (17/20) served with crispy langoustine, the latter an excellent innovation but slightly oily (16/20). A scallop tartare was also offered. Cod came baked in seaweed butter with courgette and basil butter sauce (17/20). The fish was cooked on point, with excellent presentation, and the balance of flavours on the dish worked well. Perhaps the standout course was warm mosaic of chicken and it’s sweetbreads with carrots and peas (19/20). Superbly conceived, flawlessly executed with crispy chicken skin, and perfectly sauced. This is very high quality cooking. Slow braised short rib of beef had excellent flavour, although perhaps a little more cooking could have added depth, but this was a very competent dish more than made up for by the truffled chard gratin and classical sauce (16/20). Dessert came in two parts. Local strawberries came diced with rose, ginger, chilli and lemongrass. This was very good (17/20). The hot soufflé using an Edinburgh-based bean to bar chocolate was excellently presented and offset by a blackcurrant and tarragon sorbet. A perfect soufflé but perhaps a bit overwhelming (16/20). Wines were thoughtful and well chosen, with Katherine Smeddle knowledgeable about her chosen suppliers. All in all, this is really superb place to visit with very consistent cooking.
