The Dory Bistro & Gallery in Fife

A lovely, well packaged 'take away'. Beautiful, refreshing starter and fantastic Roast Beef Sunday Lunch. Dessert velvety smooth choc. Both my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to everyone for making my Mum's Day special in the middle of difficult times for us all.

We were booked to go for dinner on Saturday but that was cancelled due to the COVID restrictions. We ordered a takeaway meal instead and it was absolutely fabulous. We both had the smoked trout then the most amazing langoustines and chips. We very much hope that The Dory remains open for as long as possible, even if for more takeaways.

Absolutely fantastic service, delicious food and felt very safe Covid wise. It was our first meal out since the first lockdown in March 2020 and we couldn’t fault it.

Fantastic setting in the stunning village of pittenweem. Been in for coffee and cake a few times before and always been delicious. Went in this time for Sunday lunch and wasn't disappointed. Started with salt and pepper squid which was perfectly cooked and probably amongst the best squid I've had. Son had carrot and coriander soup which he said was delicious with a nice wee bit of spice about it. We then had the Sunday roast and it was perfect. Meat was cooked perfectly and was so tender. The seasonal veg was on point and roast potatoes were fantastic with a splendid looking Yorkshire pudding to top it off. The boy had the fish and chips which he had breaded and says amongst the best he has had. All round great service and fantastic food.

very good food and service all the negative reviews on waiting times always remember good food takes time its cooked to order not mcdonald,s .first time visit we will certainly be back

First time I’ve been to the Dory and it certainly won’t be my last. Super tasty fresh seafood. We had squid starter, lobster and bouillabaisse mains - all exquisite. And what can I say about the service other than it was really lovely. Friendly, fun and warm. An absolute delight. Can’t wait to return soon.

Visited recently for lunch. It felt very safe as the staff are clearly following enhanced safety procedures and the "covid rules" were explained to us. We had a table in the gallery which was great as there was so much space between the tables. I ordered the smoked haddock pot with a side portion of artisan bread. We also had the breaded fish and chips and all food was delicious. However, portion sizes are not huge. The pear mocktail was a welcome change from the standard fizzy juice options and overall we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and visit. However, it is certainly not cheap! But if you don't mind paying for quality food, great service and pleasant dining experience I would thoroughly recommend.

Takeaway meal last night from our favourite restaurant- meal was superb. Ordering was simple and collection was quick and efficient. Food was beautifully presented, piping hot and delicious as usual. Would love to have been in the restaurant surrounded by the amazing art but this was a real treat in these strange times. Highly recommended

I visited for a special family meal. After a fantastic starter and oysters to share we were let down by an hour long wait for our main course. When it arrived the bouillabaisse was tiny. It consisted of only 6 mussels and a mouthful of white fish. We were told this is the standard portion but I can’t help but think there was a mistake in the kitchen, given the long wait and the fact it was smaller than the starter. To make matters worse, on the way out we saw several customers having the lobster, which we were told wasn’t available that day. Such a shame given the quality of the first course. I would usually enjoy a leisurely pace for lunch but when a meal starts off so well and ends on a disappointment it makes you wonder what’s going on behind the scenes.

We have been to this Restaurant many times and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We had booked for Lunch today and it was more than 45 minutes before our Starters arrived. Another long delay before the main courses and we had to ask if they were coming. No apology and that is very disappointing. If there was a problem in the Kitchen we should have been told.

I had booked this restaurant after reading reviews and it was booked for an anniversary lunch as I wanted something a bit special. It did not disappoint ! The quality of food on offer was exceptional and very reasonably priced. Dogs are also allowed in during the day so this was an added bonus for us since we were visiting and staying in Pittenweem for a few days so bringing along our four legged friend was a necessity. Service was outstanding throughout our visit and the staff were very informative, friendly and made sure you were in a safe environment with the social distance rules in place. Can't wait to visit again in the not too distant future !

Really great dining experience in beautiful surroundings. The staff are excellent , the restaurant is bright and welcoming and the food is delicious.

We made our first two visits to The Dory for dinners this week - excellent!The moment you walk in you're in a nice space with art oozing from the gallery walls and a tempting specials blackboard...We've now tried a good few dishes including enormous perfectly cooked lemon sole, langoustines on the grill, lobster, plus various lovely starters, desserts and a wee bit too much wine!The staff are great, the atmosphere is cosy & relaxed and if you like the art it's wrapped & ready to take away at the end of the night (oops that added a few bob to the bill, but it kind of made up for no Pittenweem Art Festival this year)Ticks all our boxes!!

This is a very special restaurant in the picturesque village of Pittenweem. The restaurant is also a gallery and it in a great location, looking out across the harbour at the fishing boats. The staff are very friendly and really looked after our family. The sea food was fresh off the boat and a absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going again.

We visited The Dory last weekend for dinner. It is a real find. Service excellent and friendly. The restaurant feels very comfortable and the COVID arrangements make you feel safe and relaxed.In addition to the menu there is a chalk board with daily specials. Everyone was well suited. In fact the clam dish my Daughter had she said was one of the best things she had ever eaten.The restaurant was full even although we had booked an early dinner so book ahead.We will be back next time we are in East Neuk.

there is a wonderful ambiance - a combination of the artworks on view, the super friendly staff and the excellent food - in this delightful little bistro right on the harbour in Pittenweem. The menu ranges from lobster to simpler fish dishes, and there are some meat options though not much choice for vegetarian, but everything we ate was delicious and beautifully presented. They also have a good selection of cocktails and wine. It’s very reasonably priced and their covid compliance is such that we felt safe - once seated we hardly noticed the difference from last year. Our third visit and would definitely recommend it.

My husband and I had dinner at the Bistro during our weeks holiday in the East Neuk. We had high expectations, and were not disappointed. The quality of food and cooking was exceptional. Service was excellent. We will certainly go back again

My partner and I visited The Dory Bistro for lunch during our short stay in Anstruther/Pittenweem. Our server was very friendly, polite and helpful. Tables were well spaced out and regularly wiped down. I felt relaxed during my dining experience. Staff are clearly committed to customer safety during the current Covid crisis. We treated ourselves to delicious cocktails and mains from the specials menu. The meal was well paced and very enjoyable. I had the langoustines, which were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. My partner throughly enjoyed the monkfish. We would definitely return to The Dory should we visit Pittenweem again.

Me and my partner were very fortunate to stumble across this wonderful restaurant on our first time in Pittenweem. Made it just before end of lunch service and were very warmly received, instantly felt at ease with all of the Covid precautions on display.The Salt & Pepper Calamari is possibly some of the best I’ve ever tasted, beautifully presented as well. Monk fish was on special and very special indeed! My partner splashed out on the Langoustine (of course I was paying) and I managed to pry one off her to sample...fantastic and well worth the price. One word of advice I would give, don’t approach on a budget, if anything, because it’s more than worth you’re money!100% would return.

Fabulous meals here cannot fault anything! Fish all fresh out of the sea! Squid, lobster & langoustines to die for! Bouillabaisse was out of this world. Wish it was on our doorstep!

Nice staff, tasty good. Helpful with food allergies and coeliac questions although only single fryer so chips not an option for gluten allergies. Pretty happy on the whole.

Excellent Covid prep. Felt very safe. Booked for lunch and sat by the window. Food and drinks options excellent. Would recommend the Mussels and the Fish Soup. Also has fabulous art that you can buy.

We loved Pittenweem, it has so much atmosphere. The restaurant is right on the harbour and we liked it so much, we returned for Sunday lunch. Food is tasty and the Sunday roast was a real treat. Also do try the deserts, the tayberry tart is delicious. Booking is advised. Staff were very friendly.

We all had delicious food from a good menu (although more veggie/vegan options would be appreciated). My hake wrapped in proscutto with black pudding was exceptionally good. The ambience was really good. Covid procedures have lead to good spacing and other good precautions. The service was good. We all felt relaxed

We had booked and found all Covid procedures really good. We had a lovely meal with great service.The gallery pictures are wonderful.

Drove from the west to the east to feel transported to another world at Pittenweem Harbour. We were treated to a harbour side meal of monkfish wrapped in pancetta (lovely) and I ate my first ever oyster which I thought I would never ever eat. It was the ambience that encouraged me to break the oyster code and it was delicious! I felt like an adventurer. Beautiful chilled white wine to wash it down and a delicious chocolate mousse washed down with a dessert wine. Surrounded by works of art and with a warm and friendly service, this is more than a bistro. It’s an experience.

A brilliant location, excellent food, great value for money, very good service and high standards all round.

We ate at The Dory two days in a row as we loved it so much. Their Covid policy was excellent. Our daughter who has a severe food allergy felt safe to eat there which is a real plus. The fish was amazing and the roast beef was fabulous. The service is flawless and we loved looking at the art work whilst eating. Great value for money.Thank you.

Loved the decor and setting of this restaurant and felt very safe with their Covid policy which was well organised and clearly explained. Fabulous choices on the menu but slightly disappointed with my filet of cod main course as the fish was dry and overcooked, everything else was good though. My husband had the bouillabaisse which is usually his favourite meal, he said the taste was excellent but disheartened by lack of fish in it. Nice dinner but we weren’t blown away - shame!

Excellent fish restaurant with great range of gluten free options (one of our family is coeliac). Gluten free bread also available when we asked. Good service, nice setting on the harbour. Would definitely book a meal there again.

Delicious early evening dinner. Lovely atmosphere. Good organisation and social distancing. Looking g forward to a return visit.

On entering the bistro we were impressed with the Covid measures that were in place. We felt perfectly safe without it detracting from the friendly and welcoming atmosphere.We have always enjoyed good quality food and friendly service at this local bistro but the new menu is amazing. The choice of starters and main courses was the first challenge as there were so many tempting options. The trout salad starter was stunning and my clam linguine was perfect in every way.There was a really good child’s menu which suited our young grandson. I didn’t think they could get better but they just did!!!Well done Team Dory.

We had a wonderful lunch at the Dory Bistro; relaxed but upmarket atmosphere with beautiful art to view while you eat and great service, including advice on how to eat a lobster from the chef when it turned out we hadn’t a clue! We enjoyed some great fish and lobster with lovely dessert menu and rhubarb cocktails. Great location on Pittenweem harbour. Would definitely visit again - best meal of our holiday!

Had lunch at the Dory today, deciding what to order was the hardest part. Opted for cod with black pudding & rosemary potatoes. Superb! Food was so fresh and beautifully presented, really friendly service too along with full consideration of social distancing. Would recommend.

Dog friendly bistro with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Fish bisque was probably the highlight - real depth of flavour and so inviting. Langoustines served cold and I’d expected them warmed through when served. Great fun to eat, really fresh and flavoursome. Highly recommend and look forward to a return visit.

Delighted that The Dory has reopened. Have been twice ! There is an extensive menu but also a number of specials. Lots of local produce used & all delicious. Staff were very attentive and all the correct procedures were followed. Will be back !

had lunch with my partner I had the lobster he had the mussels the lobster was super fresh and the mussels were super super fresh really good lunch could not fault the lunch - staff service super. will certaintly dine here again

Great to be back at the Dory Bistro and Gallery. Amazing art and food. Really good value for money and delicious fresh seafood. Lovely staff and felt very safe. Tables socially distanced and still a really enjoyable atmosphere. Loved the lobster risotto and deserts! Will be back again soon.

Great food, friendly service and some astounding art works on the walls, all in all, worth a visit.We'll be back!

First trip out since the lock down. The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly, Our meals were picked off of the blackboard menu, We both ordered fish one Haddock and one Trout, when the food came to table the Haddock filed the plate but the Trout wasn't a whole Trout as we expected it was a small "Fillet" of trout the dish looked more like a starter than a main meal...Not impressed. We did point this out to the waitress. The menu needs to be reworded to a Fillet of Trout.

Had dinner at The Dory. Staff lovely and pleasant, service very good and nice relaxing atmosphere. Food was nice and we all enjoyed our starters and mains however felt the portion size was small and the cost for what we ate was too expensive. I only ever have a main course when I eat out as this is usually enough but unfortunately I was left hungry after our visit. Based on the quality of the food we would go back but based on value for money definitely not.

Excellent Sunday Roast. Staff all welcoming and attentive. Excellent adherence to the new health guidelines, making us feel very safe, as well as, well fed.

We had the most amazing lunch here. Staff were super friendly. Food was amazing! Really fresh fish. Recommend the seaweed salad, bisque and catch of the day. A glass of chablis went down a treat! We felt very lucky to have found this place and highly recommend. A highlight of our holiday.

A wonderful meal on our staycation .Had an excellent dinner ,well cooked great presentation .Very professional waiting staff ,friendly and efficient .Would defiantly like to return .

We went to the Dory as a late celebration for our son's graduation last week. The food was superb, especially the sea trout special and the service was great, really friendly. I would definitely return next time we are in Pittenween

Had an excellent lunch of lobster and sea trout. The restaurant is a masterclass in confident and effective service.

The Dory is open for pre ordered take away food at the weekends .This Sunday I collected freshly baked bagels , with locally sourced ingredients in the smoked salmon lox spread...what a lovely treat. Their web site was easy to use, and most importantly when I went to get them the set up in place made me feel safe and relaxed. The menu will be expanding and next weekend they are putting on their superb Sunday Roast, our favourite !! They are putting their toes back gently in the water and we cant wait for the time we can actually be back in the lovely dory, restaurant proper, with all the ambience it is known for

Great restaurant with very friendly staff. Service was prompt and food was excellent. Once we finished the owner came to ask how everything was. Would definitely go back. Make sure you book.

Super lunch yesterday in a relaxed friendly environment with wonderful pictures in the restuarant and the adjoining gallery. The staff were helpful, courteous and knew their stuff. One of our group had a gluten free and milk free requirement and this was dealt with expertly without missing a beat. Certainly one of my favourite places to go.

I have visited the Dory Bistro on more than one occasion and I can not recommend it enough. The food is some of the best you will find, whether it’s lunch, dinner or even one of Ruth’s amazing scones with a coffee. The staff are always so friendly and helpful especially with my young children. If you haven’t been, your definitely missing out

The Dory continues to provide an excellent all round experience- very good freshly cooked food that is well priced. Excellent fish and chips and a good range of vegetarian and daily specials.There was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the dishes.

Food was OK. The staff unfriendly and not welcoming. No customer care skills. Will not return. Find somewhere else more caring and appreciative of their customers.

Called in for brunch on a quiet Saturday in March, great coffee, perfectly cooked brunch, great service, in expensive. Lovely setting, great staff. You need more? just find this place well worth it.

We have been visiting our local restaurant the Dory since it opened. If you want great food and service in a relaxed atmosphere then this is the place.An added atteaction for me is that they understand dietary intolerances and can adapt their dishes accordingly. They will even go the extra mile and keep something to one side if you have informed them in advance. Being gluten and dairy intolerant I normally forgo dessert but the Dory usually has something delicious to offer.Thanks for another great meal to Ruth and the team.

I can’t believe some of the ridiculous 1 star reviews here. We were here today and everything was spot on. Great service and wonderful food that didn’t break the bank. I recommend it 100%, and we’ll be back next time we head north.

We were staying at Elie for Christmas and manned to reserve table at short notice, often a worrying sign.We were very wrong.Excellent seafood, delicious bread which is often a good indication of a quality restaurant and located adjacent to the harbour with fishing boats ,even if the fish hadn't been delivered by them it certainly felt like it.This place deserves to be busy as the food is complimented by charming service

The wonderful fishing villages of Fife hide small pearls of hospitality, generosity and taste. The Dory Bistro deserves a stop for its extraordinary simplicity in communion with the artistic vein of the exhibition that will accompany you in tasting your meal. The local fish is the only one you savor in the particular and distinct preparation, but the burgers and sandwiches (ask my children) also deserved praise. Don't miss an exquisite brownie with caramel and sweet cream at the end of the meal .... a delicacy! The staff was courteous, precise and quick. Congratulations ! The only flaw: the choice of dishes is limited.

We had Christmas Eve dinner here and the place was jumping. Excellent food and very generous portions. The staff were really friendly and it's obviously a place well-liked by locals, which is always a good sign

We became regulars on our holiday here because the staff were lovely and the hot chocolate was amazing! As time went one we ate cake and I had a fish stew. OMG I could’ve eaten it again it was so yummy.

After staying in Pittenween for a week decided to have our final meal out in the Dory Bistro which was next door to our holiday accommodation. The food was fantastic and the staff friendly and informative about the menu. My wife and I had Squid to start and had we had the Bouillabaisse and Sea Bass for our main courses both of which were excellent. Finished off with Marmalade Pudding and Pear and Chocolate Cake desert which were fantastic.

Love that they are dog friendly, we all dropped by for coffee and cake with our little Fara. The waitress was so nice what a lovely warm welcome and smile. Delicious apple cake and the cappuccino was perfect. Kids loved their hot chocolate and brownies. My friend had the soup and said it was delicious. Beautiful artwork in the gallery worth a look when there. Look forward to visiting again :)

We spent Christmas 2019 in Pittenweem and booked our Christmas Eve dinner at The Dory. The setting is nice, the boats in the harbour sparkled with Christmas lights. We were greeted by friendly staff. Our order was taken quickly and our drinks arrived. I had ordered the sea trout and when it arrived it all looked great. Unfortunately most of the trout was uncooked so I let the waitress know and she took it back to the kitchen. It took a while before it was returned and by this time my companions had nearly finished so rather awkward for me. My dish was returned and the trout was looking a bit frazzled! Again I had to return my dish as the rest of the food was cold! Once again it was returned, this time the plate was hot, the food too, (the trout a bit more frazzled) - except for the broccoli! I gave up and ate it as I was starving! So I was a bit disappointed, as sending a dish back with cold vegetables is really not something you’d expect from any restaurant!

We had a lovely lunch with friends after a beach walk and even though the bistro was very busy the recently installed sound-proofing panels made conversation easy and the food was as delicious as ever, especially the veggie options.

Group of 6 were staying in Pittenween for weekend so decided to have dinner on Saturday night. The food was amazing, the cullen skink, mussels and sea bass yum yum. So glad we booked as all tables were taken

A wonderful restaurant with brilliant food and service! We will definitely come back here and recommend others to go too.

Fish always perfectly cooked but if you fancy a roast or some game perhaps, that will also be delicious. Vegetables fresh and locally sourced and puddings out of this world! What more could I say? Excellent wine list......

We happened upon this place taking the Coastal route through Fife. What a find. They accomodated our party of 8 at 3:00 on a Sunday afternoon. We have 3 people who don't eat fish and were worried about what they would eat. The Sunday roast and beef pie were delicious. We started with Halloumi cheese with lime which was also a really good and a new preparation. The fish eaters were even happier, oysters, lobster, fish and chips and plaice. Reasonably priced wines and, of course a dram of Scotch to finish.

Six adults and two grandsons were all beautifully looked after last Sunday whilst in The Dory. Lovely art gallery surroundings, fabulous food and friendly happy staff with great service.

After the recent risible experience at the nearby Kinneuchar Inn, it was time to get back on the horse so to speak and to give another local establishment a try (to be fair, not our first visit but first for a while). We were not disappointed at all. The menu is sensible - not too long, not too short and there’s always a special or two. I had the lamb’s liver and bacon special - beautifully cooked and presented, and a substantial helping too. My wife had the coq au vin and enjoyed this as well. We followed up with coffee and some of their home baking. Lovely coffee but if there’s a gripe at all the rich and tasty fruit loaf portion was very mean...

Lovely fresh fish well prepared and cooked. The steak pie is a real Desparate Dan pie with tender meat filling

What a superb evening!! Beautiful, mouthwatering food paired with some lovely Loire wines. Good food, good wine, good company and what a bargain for the quality we enjoyed. Well done The Dory!!

Yes a good place but mix experiences-some love it other not so much. It is a bistro type restaurant ,bare floor and tables so it can get noisy. They have lovely art on the walls for sale -worth looking around.

Visited for dinner with the family. Attentive service, fresh local produce, great atmosphere and superb food all with a view of the beautiful Pittenweem harbour! Don’t hesitate to book a table!

Started off really well with chanterelle mushrooms on sourdough bread and cullen skink. Lobster main was entirely satisfactory, however the coq (au vin) was just a tad dry. My comments to this effect were dismissed and ignored, or so I thought, until we asked for the dessert menu. Clearly my comments had been heard as the dessert menus were almost thrown on the table with no eye contact or communication. I had no desire to complain, however the owner was forced upon me by one of the waiting staff, and I did try to voice my comments, but was met with nervous laughter and the excuse "we're busy". Yes, the restaurant was full, however the serving staff appeared to be managing this very efficiently. Unfortunately they did not manage adverse comments quite so efficiently. Poorly handled and very disappointing.

3 sisters and wee Mammy ate here on the recommendation from David (Carmac Jewellery). How fortunate we were to have asked him! An utter delight in every bite. 2 had the fish and chips, fresh and perfectly cooked, one had the chicken also perfectly cooked. I had the risotto with sea bass, this was top restaurant quality food. Perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. Not one negative comment. Would highly recommend

Great restaurant overlooking the harbour of the fishing village of Pittenweem. Great, reasonably priced food well cooked and served in very relaxed surroundings.

Visited tonight and was amazed by the quality, presentation and taste of the food. Hubby wasn’t sure as he’s not keen on fish except fish n chips, which he had and was over the moon with it. I had the salmon & with the various accompaniment it was awesome.

We had a lovely time at The Dory, to celebrate a birthday. They had reserved the window table for us which was a lovely gesture. We began with a prosecco cocktail, flavoured with elderflower, enjoyed good coffee, and then had eggs benedict with bacon and spinach and a delicious hollandaise. It was all delicious and the waitress was lovely and it was a relaxed and enjoyable time.

popped in out the blue seated immediately good choice menu food was excellent even if they did forget the cream for the chocolate and raspberry cake great view over the harbour polite attentive service venison sausages were fantastic elderly relative had a BLT sandwich which looked great not the cheapest but still good value for great food

A small bistro located beside the harbour in Pittenween. Very welcoming and the food is fantastic, can highly recommend the mussels and lobster.

Visited to celebrate my husbands birthday . Very welcoming with a very good and varied menu . Good selection of drinks with Sunday cocktails at a special price . Very good and efficient staff. My husband had sea bream and I had steak pie , both were piping hot and very tasty . We followed with coffee and cake which were delicious. Visit the area once a year on holiday and always visit .

Located on the quayside, overlooking the local fishing fleet, this attractive stone building houses The Dory.

Beautifully fresh and tasty food. I particularly liked the sea bream as I hadn't tried it before. The four of us had such a great experience. Generous portions and friendly, helpful staff. Amazing location, just across from the boats bringing in fresh fish.

Had a wonderful dinner at The Dory while visiting Pittenweem last month. The food was excellent and the service friendly and efficient. Not a lot of good restaurants in the area but the Dory is definitely first rate and would be considered excellent anywhere in Scotland.

Been twice before as a couple and took friends this time. We were all really pleased with our choices. Really fresh fish. Wine selection was good and service great, will be back !

This is a difficult one. We had dinner on a Wednesday and all went well, very well. Friendly staff, good Scottish fare including oysters, cullin skink, fresh fish and generous puddings. Loved it.

Best quality fresh fish, simply and well cooked should be easy to find but is surprisingly rare and this restaurant is one place that excels in all of the above. Great art on the walls and good friendly service means it is always at the top of the list of our preferred restaurants.

Lovely lunchtime stop. No booking but got seated despite being busy. Too many tasty choices! Super location. Friendly service. Great value.

This restaurant is right by the harbour. They have a wide range of fresh fish which is well prepared and served with simple vegetables, letting the fish stand out. Excellent fresh langoustines. Well worth visiting.

Went here for an evening meal...three of us. All had a main fish course.....bream, bass and all caught fresh that hour. We arrived about 6pm and just beat the chef in. Specials of the day weren't ready as yet as the guys catching the fish hadn't docked in the harbour. Right enough about 10 minutes later the fish arrive in a Tesco bag. The specials of the day then appeared about another 10 minutes later. Bream and bass....some complete fish and some filleted.

I booked a table for myself and two visiting friends, knowing that this is the best source of restaurant meals in Pittenweem, and I wasn't disappointed. We were very well looked after, the menu choice was a good as ever and the quality of the food was very good as usual.

We went here twice during our short break in Pittenweem. The first occasion was to a private lunch function to celebrate with family. The service and set menu were excellent. The second occasion was an evening meal for two. The menu selection was extensive and made it difficult to choose!

We had lunch in the Dory having walked along the coast from Cellardyke. What a treat! The bistro itself is bright and airy and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We had a wonderful lunch and quite frankly could have spent the afternoon there if the children had allowed! Our son had mussels which were excellent and the Coley (the fish of the day, with sauteed potatoes and chorizo) was wonderful. A must if you are in the area.

I've been to The Dory several times now and have loved the food each time. The menu is varied and great for those who like seafood, although there are meat/veggie options too. Great for lunch but also lovely for an evening occasion.

Since it opened a couple of years ago we have eaten at the Dory many times. It is a great place for entertaining friends for dinner, or for having a quick lunch with a girlfriend, or for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is very attractive with lots of fantastic art to look at (and/or purchase!) and the service is prompt, warm and friendly. The food is great, obviously being located in a working fishing village, fish features heavily on the menu and the list of daily specials. Never-the-less there is plenty of choice for those who don't want fish, and for vegetarians and vegans.

Having looked at the facebook page of the chef preparing turbot and halibut etc I was really looking forward to some specials on the evening we dined last week. Alas it was not to be.

I cannot fault the food or the service; top quality. So it pains me to downgrade this to a 4*. I do so, to alert others that the acoustics are appalling. By 8pm on Saturday with a full house, most diners were having to shout (or screech!) to each other to make themselves heard. We had difficulty hearing our waitresses and at the peak of noisiness gave up talking to each other. So, if you have hearing issues (which I don't) then choose your time to eat carefully. There is nothing to soak up the sound which bounced off every surface. I would certainly choose a different night or timing for my next visit.

Ate here with friends at the weekend. Great menu, friendly service, great buzzy atmosphere - it felt like 'the place to be' on a Saturday night. We're glad we chose it. Had a great table at the window too.

Great meal and service at Dory’s. The homemade warm chocolate brownie with ice cream was the best I have ever tasted!

Enjoyed a splendid lunch here in August. I had the Cullen skink and my husband had a special sandwich. The scallops bacon and avacado focaccia was sensational as was the Cullen skink. Will definitely visit again. Thank you
