The Press Cafe and Bistro in Fife

Highly recommended, friendly staff, consistent service and food. Good location. We had bruschetta with mushrooms, and mussels in thai green sauce, followed by steak sandwich with pepper sauce and chips, and fish and chips. All very tasty. 2 courses £17 and 3 for £20. They have other special offers too. Light and airy dining room.

As a Cupar local I come out to The Press a lot with family and friends. The nachos are always a go to starter with lots of cheese! And the burgers are fantastic, followed by a dessert which can be shared among the group. Great selection of drinks and friendly helpful staff.

What can l say, this restaurant is something special. Food was excellent and beautifully presented Very welcoming and friendly. Price wise, whilst some people would say an expensive restaurant to eat at, you would certainly pay an awful lot more in places like London to eat in a restaurant of this standard of food. I Would definitely return and recommend.

Absolutely first class food, and service to match. Nothing was too much trouble. Best steak ever - and that’s coming from a farming family too. Highly recommended!

Lovely food and big portions. We didn't try dessert as we were too full! The staff were friendly and the place has a nice atmosphere.

Booked ahead for a family party of 16. Pre-booked our meals to save the service team some time. Once again the food and service were exceptional. Everyone enjoyed the food, young and old.

Fabulous meal served, to my wife grandson and myself. Service was brilliant. Highly recommended. Definitely will return.

Lovely meal - great veggie options and we thought the pizzas were delicious! Excellent, friendly service and we really enjoyed the cocktails too!

Ordered Margarita Pizza . It had absolutely No flavour , just thick lair of tasteless string rubber cheese . Very disappointing

The haggis bon bons are amazing, the food all round fantastic. We also now get our take out meals here too.

A brilliant chef, an excellent standard of food from favourites like pizza and burgers to what would often qualify as fine dining on the specials board. Really should be in the Michelin Guide.

First visit back to The Press in a while, glad to see the food and service are still excellent, Wine also very well priced.

Lovely interior. Tucked away but easy parking behind it. Would go againvto sample other times of say. Quaint but in a lovely way. Set or a la carte. Prices 4 all

My husband and I just love this restaurant. Have been for Christmas "do's" and with friends too. A little hidden gem in Cupar. Fine dining without the fanfare. Five-star food, drink, service, friendliness, ambience and value for money. We go every two or three weeks because it is so affordable and in two years we've never been disappointed or had a complaint. Just superb!

Another fantastic meal at The Press , service from Shona and her team was excellent from the minute we arrived. Food delicious 😋 all plates clean , my favourite was the sticky toffee pudding sundae highly recommend. Thanks all

Another great meal at The Press. We were well looked after by Shona and the team. The kids went for the burger and fish and chips while we had scallops and steak from the daily specials menu.

Excellent food and excellent service. Food ordered were the highlander burger, chicken pizza and a chicken burger. Everyone enjoyed their meal, it was delicious. Puddings on offer are super, very tasty. Great ambience, well worth a visit.

Looking for a restaurant to accommodate 15 people including individual dietary requests can be tricky. The Press did not disappoint. Excellent customer service from the beginning, especially to Shona who helped to ensure my guests had a wonderful evening. Brilliant food, superb customer service, a...

Always a great experience. We were well looked after. Food is always good with a good choice of wines and cocktails. I am coeliac and they have always been super careful with my dishes.

Was out for dinner with friends during the festive period, I had the venison it was amazing cooked to perfection. Friends had the turkey dinner that also tasted lovely. Friendly welcoming atmosphere.

The experience was first class from start to finish. Attentive and friendly staff combined with excellent quality food. The crab cake starter was beautifully flavoursome and the beef was cooked to perfection. Well worth the drive from St Andrews!

From the minute we walked in the service was excellent front of house staff know what they’re doing and are very efficient at all times. The menu is very good and I find it hard to choose as everything sounds so delicious. The food was...

Yet again The Press imPRESSed us all! We are all regulars of this lovely little Cupar restaurant and the Christmas Day offering did not disappoint. All three courses were faultless and portion sizes more than enough to satisfy even the hungriest of eaters in our...

We were giddy when we heard the Press would be opening on Christmas Day and didn't hesitate to sign up. There was a little snafu with our table not being where we wanted it but our generous hosts were quick to alleviate our disappointment. As...

This is a great local restaurant with friendly staff. It was so good we went twice. The food is great and very tasty and the restaurant had a lovely buzz about it.

Brrilliant Restaurant!! Excellent service and top class bistro grub deffo a stop if in Fife or surrounding areas. Sampled most of the menu over the time I’ve been here all 10/10

We had a lovely dinner here on Saturday night, both meals were very tasty and well presented, we opted for Chicken with Fricasse and the Cod Scampi. The cocktails were lovely too. Staff are very friendly, the press is a very nice wee restaurant with...

Once again had a great evening with friends. Lovely food, great staff and a lovely atmosphere. The set menu was great value for money and everyone really enjoyed the night. Our 2 vegan guests were also well catered for.

I have visited The Press a good few times when visiting my folks in Cupar. My folks go in regularly so this is both theirs and my own review. The food is excellent and has never disappointed, always a pleasant visit. The service is excellent!...

We haven't been out for dinner in ages. We had a lovely time. Haggis bon bons, sirloin steak, venison tagliatelle and cheese cake. We enjoyed everything, great service from new waitress. A first visit, but definitely not our last.

I went to the Press along with 11 work colleagues for a retirement meal and we all had a lovely time! From start to finish we were looked after by Grant, Shona and the Team. The food was delicious and our vegan guest was delighted...

Fell upon this place when walking from car park - thinking of looking for it anyway - nice welcome. Great specials board, then the á la carte menu came - lots of choice but any menu having pigeon breast (seldom seen) grabs your attention. Both...

Really nice lunch choosing from both the main menu and the 'small plates' menu. Delicious Broccoli and stilton soup. King prawns in garlic butter and loaded fries with mayo, mozzarella, chicken and Jalapeño peppers. Really busy, wait staff lovely.

Family of 3 visited for an evening meal. Arrived for our booking at 7pm. The service left a lot to be desired. Firstly it took what felt like an age for them to take our order and secondly the waitress was blunt and unwelcoming. The...

The food was not only beautifully presented, but also absolutely delicious! From lamb to seafood and everything in between this place does everything right! If you're looking for delicious food and a swanky atmosphere, The Press Cafe and Bistro is going to be your go...

We attended this lovely restaurant for a family dinner and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The food was excellent, seven of us chose from a variety of dishes. The service was spot on, with good banter. Would definitely recommend

What a fantastic wee place. Great food, great value and the staff were amazing. One of our party was in a wheelchair and they could not have been more accommodating.

A small group of friends (5 ladies) attended last Friday evening and had a great time. The staff were attentive, but not intrusive, the setting was lovely and we felt comfortable and safe and the food was excellent. It was amazing value for money and...

Fabulous service and fantastic food. The restaurant felt very covid safe and the measure didn't in anyway hinder the dining experience. The food was really good, peroni red ♥️, attentive service but not in your face. I really didn't want to leave for my train.

I will not elaborate here, but will go speak to the owners/management about the abysmal service we received on Saturday 26th September at a pre-arranged Birthday party. As a group of Lawyers, nurses, doctors, teachers and business owners, we were pretty much ‘told’ to “Be...

We had lunch of lamb special and duck special, both very well cooked. Food took 30 minutes to prepare but we were told in advance it would take a little time. Good covid controls in place and the staff all wearing masks. Other dishes looked...

Was up visiting my friend who lives in Cupar and decided to try this place out and I must say we thoroughly enjoyed our meal! If I ever go back to Cupar we will definitely be coming back here. Well done guys!

Took advantage of The Press starting a take away menu due to closure of restaurant. I had a Itison voucher which they honoured. We had as per voucher , 2 soups ,2 mains and a bottle of wine. I collected at arranged time of 6pm...

I had a three course meal at The Press. The food was great. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I'll definitely come back for more.

Visited Press last nite great atmosphere lovely food goats cheese pizza beautiful!! Friendly welcoming staff even gave us a small box of cakes to take away

Very disappointing lunch last week - over priced fish and chips (the fish was frozen rather than fresh), and pretty poor service. It's a great location, so it's a shame that the food doesn't live up to expectations.

The Press has added a stylish bar area and stone baked pizza oven, a fantastic addition to this classy Bistro. We visited yesterday to try it and the stone baked pizzas and cocktails were amazing!! The place was buzzing with a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend a visit to try it for yourself. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Another visit to the press, this time with an itison voucher. Food was excellent, I had the new chicken, chorizo and spinach lasagne - wow! Had a few cocktails which were lovely and my husband really enjoyed his steak. The place was buzzing, great atmosphere and attentive staff. Already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks. x

What a difference a couple of days make. The Press has been transformed! The addition of the new bar adds atmosphere, it is stylish and the place was buzzing. The new menu includes freshly baked Pizza straight from the newly installed oven. Delicious and there are Gluten Free bases available too. This is certainly the place to be in Cupar. I would recommend booking, especially in the evenings, the phone was ringing off its hook!

Went to The Press last night as they have now installed a PIZZA OVEN and the pizzas are great!!! You must try the next time.

We were a table of five - from young to old and we all enjoyed the food and the ambience. Pricing is pleasantly fair, particularly for the quality.The food is clearly home cooked and it's a cute wee place, very spacious and airy. It was a little grey outside, but inside it was very pleasant and light. We came from Dundee and the journey was well worth it, we'll definitely be returning.

My husband and I went to The Press with an itison voucher. We heard good things but ultimately were disappointed to find that the quality of the food served is just above pub grub you get from a well known chain... Starters were fried brie ( cold in the middle ) and goats cheese which was nice. Mains were a chicken burger ( charcoaled ) with extra toppings of bacon and haggis and pulled beef with kale and cheddar mash. The beef and accompanying sauce were extremely salty, more like too much gravy powder, cheddar mash was dry and tasteless. Before we ordered we were told with our voucher our mains could be up to £15 each ( so a Burger for £12 plus 2 toppings came to just under £15 ) BUT on the way out we were informed that the waitress serving us should have explained this excluded extra toppings and we were promptly charged £2.50! All in, we wouldn't go again. Service was a bit haphazard with the water carafe noisily dropped on the table and the very stingy request for £2.50 . Dinner would have been in excess of £50 if we hadn't had the voucher and to be honest I would have been very disappointed ( still am and that's with the voucher!) ... I guess Cafe Bistro is more in keeping with what The Press is and not a place for dinner.

Lovely wee place for dinner. Dishes well thought through and with good presentation. We had a great brie starter and a halloumi burger with some onion rings. Staff very polite and professional.

Group of 12 in for a meal and everybody enjoyed it, Would’ve enjoyed full pints of lager rather than the 1/2 pint but the food was great

Two course dinner deal was outstanding quality. Varied interesting choices. Loved that you can see food being prepared. Staff very helpful. Upper floor feeling like old barn conversion and downstairs has soft area to chill. Very nice experience.

Went here for Christmas lunch for the 2nd year running and have to say that again it was amazing. Staff lovely, service perfect, food outstanding. They even catered to specific requests on what was a very busy day for staff. Huge thanks grant and his team

Friendly service. Clean and airy space. Lovely food. The fudge was a nice, flourishing touch. Would certainly recommend.

Embarassing visit to The Press where I had only been for coffee before booking a meal for four to celebrate daughter's 50th birthday. After 25 minutes waiting caught the "waitress" eye and hand signals indicated that we were wondering when we would have our food. She came right up to me and in a loud voice told me that "they were going as fast as they could". I've got to give it to her she was the most sourfaced, disinterested waitress that I have ever encountered.

Looking for a place to lunch and stumbled across this lovely place and what a delightful surprise. Great service and good food at value.

My fiancée and I decided to have a nice meal and few drinks a few Friday’s ago at the press. We planned of having a starter, Mains and a few cocktails. Instead we ended up having one drink each and just a main. The lady who served us was not interested, felt like she didn’t want to be there. Took ages to get our drinks order and be shown the specials. Put a damper on the evening. We went out expecting to spend around £100 instead our bill was £42 and we went home early. Food was ok.

Three of us had a fabulous meal on Saturday.. the steaks were cooked to perfection, the service was friendly and the whole restaurant had a good feel. We’ll be back.

Upon entering we were greeted a pleasant young girl who showed us to our table which was situated on a nice upper floor landing. Our drinks order was taken by an older woman who didn't seem to like her job very much. After having the discussion on whether i was having fanta or fresh orange juice (i chose fresh orange juice) i was given fanta. After we finished our mains which were lovely customer service was clearly not top priority as the older woman re arranged tables for a while after seeing we were finished with our plates but not clearing them. We were keen to leave as we had plans. We asked for the bill and the card machine but recieved a very stand off-ish reply of “you can do that on your way out”.

One of the best lunch I had for a long time! The atmosphere of the restaurant is great, the stuff very friendly and the food amazing! I tried the chorizo mussels and they were amazing! I will definitely return to try more dishes!

A wee visit to the farmers market and then for a much needed breakfast roll & cuppa. Great food and great selection of teas and coffee.

Wonderful food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly and efficient service. Highly recommend and will certainly be back.

Four of us all had the Sunday set lunch. Starter and main course. Very tasty, and good value for money.

Had lunch at the press although we had to sit outside because we had the dogs but we were fortunate it was a warm day it's just a pity they don't allow an area for customers with dogs which would be a plus for them as it would give more sales especially when bad weather but we would return again but on a good day.

We came across this restaurant recently and went in for lunch. We were given a very friendly welcome by the staff. We decided on the two course lunch which was excellent value for money. My wife had the pate and I had the mussels- both were excellent.

The food in this restaurant is divine. There is a wide selection of dishes and the food is reasonably price and nicely presented.

The meal was excellent, particularly the mussels I had for a starter. The service was efficient and friendly and the overall ambiance of the place was very pleasant. We shall return soon.

We really enjoyed the ‘early arrival set menu’ which was a two course selection from a range of mouth watering options.

I went in June 2019 for a lunch with friend. The service was quick and friendly and the menu was varied and interesting.

There isn’t an awfully lot to do in Cupar on a Sunday so why not eat? Five of us had a lovely Sunday lunch from full menu including Sunday special roast. Service was friendly and efficient, food was beautifully cooked and presented. Great value for money.

Visited Cupar and was looking for a venue to have lunch. Came upon this super bistro. We had the two courses for £12. Excellent value for money. Service was fast. Servers were extremely attentive and friendly. Chefs served us an amazing meal. We had pate to start which was with a savoury jam that was so so tasty. Mains were fish and chips which were also really really tasty.

Be advised that the website is incorrect. We drove from St Andrews because we heard good things about this place. However they couldn’t be bothered to change their website after they changed their opening time. They painted the new time on the door but of course that didn’t help us any. Very disappointing.

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean premises with an interesting layout. Menu good but the real time food AND flavours better. Try it and you will be going back too.

First visit today for lunch. Immaculately clean and pleasant surroundings. Friendly and welcoming staff. Ordered from lunch menu. All the food was fresh and beautifully presented - yummy too! Ladies loos clean and fresh too - yay!

My first visit to the press (been meaning to go for a while) and I didn't realise how roomy it is past the open plan lobby and kitchen area.

We ate dinner last week and we're dissapointed. The duck my wife had was very chewy and tough. I had the cod served peas a La Francais.. style. Which normally would had sauteed button onions through the peas with chiffonade of lettuce, but I had a handful of cocktail pickled onions, which were vinegary.

Had Saturday lunch here with an itison voucher. If it hadn’t been for the voucher I would never have known this place existed, as I’m not from Cupar.

Had lunch today. First class food. First class service. Very friendly staff. Well done to all at the Press! Chicken burger well worth a try, and as for the cheesecake....yum!

We have been to The Press a few times and have enjoyed each time. The menu changes periodically and there are daily specials which makes for a good choice. Also a lovely drinks menu with plenty gins to choose from. Staff are very friendly and attentive.

We had a lovely lunch, again, using Itison two course offer.

Had a most delicious 3 course dinner with my husband. Food was delicious, service first class and delightful complimentary fudge. X

Had 2 course lunch with my granddaughter using Itison voucher and must say food was delicious and the staff so friendly. My granddaughter had a lovely cocktail and I must say I had the best gin ever.

The Press Bistro and Cafe in Cupar, Fife, was the venue chosen for our two hour lunch date today, the 17th January, 2019. Though a light covering of overnight snow had clung to the ground where we live, the roads were clear and the mighty Tay Estuary was crossable ... in fact, for the time of year, the hour-long drive to the venue could only be described, in the best 'Auld Alliance' vernacular, as Magnifique. My daughter, son-in-law, my wife and I were pre-booked, so we were greeted and seated by one p.m. in quite the most pleasant well-run and reasonably-priced cafe in this old 'kingdom' town. A good crowd and a pair of attentive front-of-house servers, coupled with a tempting luncheon choice promising extra-fine value, was found to be to our complete expectations. We had two ample healthy home-made soups, haggis balls and chickeny starters ... all beatifully cheffed and served. Mains were fish, chicken and pasta platters, carefully made, laid ... and slowly devoured. And the desserts followed swiftly, true treats to both the eye and palette were they sticky toffee pude and cheesecake delights ... About twenty quid a head included wine, beer and clear, caller Scottish Water. Pressing the Point ... We Left this Modishly Converted Eaterie's Veritable Feast ... Replete and Contentedly Satisfied.
