The Swilcan Restaurant in Fife

Lovely venue and great views. Arrived for a late lunch today. Stood at entry for a wee while, seater/maitre d (an older blond lady in a royal blue polo top) chose to have a conversation with a waitress rather than instantly greet us and show us to a table. On previous visits the greeters are usually top notch. Ordered Cullen Skink which is always lovely. Steak sandwich - quality of meat was poor, chewy and sinuous. A beef ham would have been more tender at around a £15 price point. Waitress was lovely.

We came as a group of 16 both family a friends for our dinner. We loved it as soon as we walked in with a warm and positive welcome, to then the food and service being amazing. Our server Brooke was very interactive by answering our questions that we had in regard's too our limited menu, asking how our time in St Andrews has been recommended things we should do in the area, also explaining certain drinks that we were unsure off, also for explain what was suitable for a few dietary on our table. Always making sure that everything was all great and we felt so comfortable. Couldn’t fault Brooke if you have her you won’t be disappointed. The food was amazing, dishes were a perfect a size.

Beers were cold and tasty (old Tom Morris craft brews). Service was good. The food was decent - good not great. We asked for medium steaks the came out with no pink, as an example. Of you’re round is late in the day, good place to go directly to and the seem to have something for everyone.

Dinner was fabulous and the service was wonderful! The location can't be beat! The food and restaurant was upscale, but the ambiance was not. We were very comfortable in the restaurant after a day of golf without feeling like we needed our coat and tie.

First time here, spectacular views. We joined the Tom Morris Bar & Grill for some lunch after our round of golf. We all ordered steaks, which were amazing except one. We let our server Brooke know who was very caring, friendly and efficient who was extremely understanding which she sorted out the issue, especially for how busy the Restraunt was she was always checking on us an making sure we had everything to enjoy our meal. Myself and my golf friends 100% recommend to join them for some food. We will definitely be back next time we come back to St Andrews.

We thoroughly enjoyed Sunday roast at Tom Morris. Unbelievably busy because of the restaurant commitment to the St Andrews Collegiate. Despite the pressures the staff could not have been more pleasant and accommodating. The TM always offers value for money and of course the setting is magnificent with views over the Links. Always has been a favourite for us and always will be.

Wonderful location with views over the Old Course and large windows creating a very atmospheric evening setting. In addition, the food was excellent. However, it is not for the faint hearted with astonishing prices ie a over £40 for a steak. Overall St Andrews has become ridiculously expensive, verging on the rip off, but it is a shame to see a golf clubhouse following this trend

This is probably a great post round venue, but for evening dining it was too loud and raucous. The food was good, just a slight cut above pub food, but delicious. Wait staff were patient with us over the noise, but there were some errors in the delivery. Wouldn't do dinner again but maybe a lunch or post round beer.

Service very friendly… food VERY disappointing! dry burger buns, chips not fresh.. Chicken burger coated in breadcrumbs (but doesn’t say this in the menu!) Asian slaw minimal.. staff lovely.

We went here after golf at the Old Course in St.Andrews. The food was great, and the service was excellent. Will go back there for dinner on my next trip to St. Andrews.

We had lunch here prior to our golf game at The New Course. The restaurant was very busy, we had a reservation. The food was good but not memorable. It was very pricey for lunch. That's the price you pay to eat at the St. Andrews Links clubhouse. We enjoyed it, but did think it was over-priced.

I have visited here on numerous occasions even before the change of name when it was called the swilcan restaurant. I have never had any reason to complain about here before as I have loved it so much I had to return. We ordered two Scottish breakfasts and they arrived cold it was as if stuff had just been chucked onto a plate Luke warm. I believe the mistake made was moving towards an actual restaurant bistro whereas it was ideal previously. Sadly I would have to think twice about returning as I love the setting overlooking the old Course.

The Sunday Roast here was excellent. Service and facility are above average for a golf venue. Prices very reasonable. The views from the restaurant are absorbing.

IDEAL place for dinner or lunch before or after a round of golf. Everything St. Andrews does . . . they do it well. Food was stellar, service was superb, ambiance was great looking out at the courses. LOVE this place.

If only this was the restaurant attached to my local golf course. View is unreal. Depending on where you are in the restaurant you may see the Jubilee Course OR you may be looking down the 1/17/18 of the Old Course. My wife thought it was the best soup she ever had. It was so good that she emailed and asked for the recipe. Our steak sandwiches were ok. Bread was dry. Steak was chewy. Get a beer, a snack, and a view.

Had dinner after our round on the New Course. Im not a huge burger guy but decided to try thr Tom Morris burger and it was amazing. One of the best pub burgers Ive ever eaten. Juicy with tons of flavor and a wee bit of seasoning. Had a nice cider to go with it.

The staff and service was good. Had to send my fries back as they were cold. But the BLT gluten free sandwich was very dry. There was plenty of filling of bacon. Perhaps if the bread had been toasted as it used to be when it was the old Links, that would be better, with some more mayo. My wife also had a BLT on sourdough and she said that was also very dry

As a golf clubhouse restaurant, this is a cut above. Offering large windows and a view of the iconic Road Hole on the Old Course with a great menu and attentive service. However, the prices, in the main, are eye watering at over £40 for a steak. In fairness, it must be said that St Andrews overall seems to have become exhorbitant and I do not know how local people can afford it. It seems that certain tourists do not care what they spend and things are priced accordingly. Perhaps an effort to recoup COVID lockdown losses but if so, the same result could be achieved with more reasonable pricing and increased foot fall

Absolutely wonderful! The food was perfect and to top it off, the sticky toffee pudding was to die for! This place is a must visit. I highly recommend it. It also overlooks the Links of St Andrews.

I was gobsmacked to find out that the general public were allowed in so we entered the home of Golf’s clubhouse . What a view from inside even though it was raining. Great service and great local IPA , my wife had a Romanian rosé of all things which apparently was fabulous. We came for a light lunch so three bowls of the finest Cullen Skink was had and again piping hot and delicious. We were welcomed like we had been members for years so if your a bit of a golfer or just mildly interested it’s well worth a visit

Very disappointed with the winter menu. Should have checked the menu before we went. The Cullen Skink soup was very nice but the Open Smoked Salmon sandwich and Cheese on toast menu options were at best described as 'adequate', make sure you order a side....

I don’t know what has happened to this bolt hole after golf but it has drastically gone down hill. Extremely slow service, poor quality food, minimal choice. Read it was classed as American. This is St Andrews ……..

Great restaurant to have lunch when visiting St Andrews. It’s right on the golf courses. Scottish beef burger was delicious. Great view if you sit by the window. Nice ambiance!

I had never eaten gluten free fish and chips. They were amazing. The peas were pretty good too. Worth a trip after a round of golf. Better food than the fancy Road Hole Restaurant food.

We came here for lunch and enjoyed our meal and the view. In all honesty, I'd rather give this a 3.5, but a 4 is simply too glowing. Everything was good - the food, the service, the experience, but not 'Very Good.' We had sandwiches...

Booked a table for dinner. The place was quiet which should have been a warning. Staff pleasant. Ordered ribeye steaks but none available. Opted for sirloins both medium. Steak initially looked reasonable - fairly large with 1/2 a shallot and 1 potato fondant. No extras...

You might suspect that a restaurant in a location like this would be excessively priced and not great - but you'd be wrong. Lunch was definitely much better than brunch, but both were worth the price. Steak sandwich was fantastic. The restaurant has lovely decor,...

Fantastic service on an extremely busy day. Food was absolutely delicious and a great kids menu too. First time visit but will not be the last.

My sister and I booked a table for lunch at the Links. We were shown to our table which had a lovely view out across the Old Course Hotel and the Himalayas. Unfortunately, it was about 20 minutes before anyone took our drinks order, and...

We'd been once before and enjoyed it very much but my recent lunch experience was very disappointing. The Cullen skink was lukewarm and full of leeks rather than fish and the club sandwich was hard work, bread being the most notable ingredient. My companions seemed...

The restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived as a walkins hoping to get a table. The chatty waiter kindly found us a table at the window with great views over the golf course old course and town. The sun was shining but it was freezing...

We came into the Tom Morris bar and grill after playing golf at the old course. Staff were very friendly and attentive, the food was good and the views whilst eating were spectacular. Well worth a visit

No need to be a member, about £15 for a main and £6 for a dessert. For that you get first class service in a historic area and the food is freshly made, recognisable, very tasty and beautifully presented. So glad we just went in...

We have not visited this restaurant for many years and thought we would give it a try since it had been refurbished. We visited at 7pm and were given a booth on the east side of the restaurant with Panasonic views of the golf course,...

We had a brilliant lunch as part of a golf package. A delicious menu, generous portions, friendly staff, and a wonderful location- lots of light, space, and comfortable seats. Relaxed without being too casual. Would go back even without the golf!

Excellent service and wonderful food The views are worth the visit alone, overlooking the Old Course and the beach Menu choices are a little limited and are quite expensive in some cases Well worth a visit, and we will return

Perfect situation in St Andrews overlooking the golf course and a minute from the beach. First class food and service! Always look forward to coming here, even just for a coffee or a glass of wine. Highly recommended!

This is a beautiful establishment and setting but the food could be a lot better this should be the restaurant that you can’t wait to return it’s got everything views comfort but average food get your act together for 2022. Because patrons and members deserve...

I have visited here on many occasions and never had a bad experience and it is still as good. It has been re named since our last visit and the food is of fantastic quality and quality service also with the superb views over the...

We ate lunch and diner on separate occasions, both were very nice. Service was excellent and the views of the golf course great (if you get a window table) Prices were pretty reasonable for St Andrews. The menus could do with better vegetarian dishes.

My wife and myself just returned from a lovely holiday in St Andrews and one of the highlights was visiting the Tom Morris clubhouse, it's been refurbished to an excellent standard and the views of the golf course and the himalayas putting green are tremendous,...

Good View - Iconic Service - Very swift (virtually empty restaurant) Covid prep - Bad Limited menu - Burgers with heart attack fried everything Ugly The weather

We went to have a snack and coffee before golf but ended up with a bit of retail therapy too. The Swilcan Lounge is perfect being hitting the Links.

Llamamos aquí para almorzar de camino a Newcastle.Nuestros platos principales fueron el sándwich de salmón y aguacate, el sándwich Club y una porción de aros de cebolla. Todos eran excelentes y las porciones de buen tamaño, las bebidas eran una copa de Sauvignon Blanc, ron y coca cola, además de que tenía un café americano para terminar.El personal fue muy amable y el servicio fue excelente.La factura total llegó a 43. sesenta y cinco .

Almorcé tras partido de putt en el Himalaya. Una vez más fue muy bueno. Bien organizado y muy limpio. Todo el personal es muy agradable y servicial. La comida es muy buena, aunque un poco cara, pero el entorno y la calidad de la comida hacen que valga la pena. Si no eres un golfista, esta es una excelente manera de experimentar un poco el ambiente de golf de la calle Andrews. Bien merece una visita.

Como visitantes bastante habituales de la calle Andrews, nunca dejamos de almorzar en el Swilcan Lounge. Pedimos un asiento junto a la ventana al hacer la reserva y tuvimos una vista fabulosa del Old Course. Muy bien organizado para las restricciones de Covid 19, el personal es muy amable y atento y el habitual menú de almuerzo agradable. ¡Estaremos de vuelta!

En la calle Andrews por unos días con amigos en agosto. Almorzamos . Reservé una mesa junto a la ventana y tuve una vista espléndida del golf. El personal es muy organizado y trabaja duro para garantizar la limpieza. Buen menú y comida deliciosa. Me gusta mucho el ambiente.

Visité el Swilcan Restaurant and Lounge el primer día de apertura desde el cierre. Muy bien organizado con estaciones de distanciamiento social y desinfectante de manos. Un menú restringido desde la primera vez que lo visité, pero aún así la comida era excelente y el personal fue fantástico. ¿Sin duda volveré?

Great place to visit after walking the beach or through the links. Sit back and watch the golfers whilst enjoying an afternoon drink

Recientemente visité el Swilcan Lounge con mi familia por primera vez durante unas vacaciones en la calle Andrews y fue tan bueno que hicimos otra visita antes de regresar a casa. La comida era de gran calidad y también un excelente servicio. Recomiendo encarecidamente el Swilcan Lounge y, además, ofrece excelentes vistas de los famosos Old Course Links, donde todas las Leyendas del Golf han jugado, en particular, el primer y el hoyo 18. ¡Definitivamente regresaré seguro en el futuro!

Nous y avons mangé et bu après le parcours. Très bonne cuisine et service attentif.Nous avons pris des pâtes sauces fruits de mer et des burgers. L'endroit est très bien pour finir la journée. Belle terrasse avec vue sur les Links.

You feel like you sit on hollowed ground. The restaurant sits looking out at the old course and other St Andrews courses. The service was very good. Unfortunately the food was mediocre, which is the complete opposite of what I find at most golf courses.

Had an early dinner after a round of golf. Staff were very attentive and food was most enjoyable, as were the post game drinks.

A wonderful lunchtime venue for those interested in golf, and it’s history. A short walk to The British Golf Museum, and next to The Himalayas - the course for The St.Andrews Ladies’ Putting Club, founded in 1867! A real bit of fun for £3 before lunch!Car Parking outside the Swilcan is available at no charge, and hence a great attraction. The restaurant menu is very comprehensive, and preference is often given to golfers, so Booking is always a good idea in high season. Excellent bar facilities are also available.

Went here for breakfast before the round, lunch after and my wife and I could not be bothered changing for dinner after walking the town, so ate here. Better value than most of the places in town and great staff.Firstly, it was busy but they remembered us, secondly a minor issue with the fish was dealt with exceptionally well by the Assistant Manager.

The haddock and chips were exceptionally tasty . Service was excellent and it is a good place to have a drink after a golf game.

Played 18 on the New Course and stopped in here afterwards. It was nice sitting down after the round and having a beer and some food. Was able to see other groups coming in to finish their rounds, which was a nice end to a great day.

Having lunch with friends, looking out over the Old Course is priceless, no matter what everything else turns up. Dining room was well appointed, sort of upscale. We got a window seat, which was fantastic, as I called a couple of weeks before and reserved it. Food was very nice, and not overpriced. Service was sort of spotty, with long waits between visits. My friend ordered a Bloody Mary and had frustrations as they lacked many of the ingredients he was used to, such as horse radish, etc., which began a lengthy discussion with our server, as every time he asked about some ingredient, she had to leave us to go ask someone else.In summary, my first sentence sticks with the view. An absolutely perfect way to end your day at the Home of Golf.

Club house très sympa et bien équipé. On y trouve le golf shop et le restaurant, où l'on mange bien, tarifs habituels de St Andrews.

We had played the adjacent magical "Himalayas" putting green for £1.00pp and decided that coffee would be perfect to end our morning. The New Course clubhouse offers modern changing facilities (lockers, shower and toilets) with the added bonus of the Swilican Lounge providing a wide range of food and drinks. One does not have to be playing golf to enjoy the warm welcome and good service.

We ate in the Swilcan Lounge with friends fir the first time in a long time. Each one of us was happy with our selections although I was not to impressed with the chips that accompanied my haddock dish. Service was excellent and staff very attentive. Not surprisingly because it is a golf facility it was very noisy. Golfers celebrating their day on the links. Views are stunning and altogether a pleasant evening meal.

Great spot to take the atmosphere from the Home of Golf. Very efficient staff on hadn't to help you relax with a post round refreshment.

Had lunch here after playing the Old Course yesterday and dinner here tonight. My wife loves the cod dish and I enjoyed the hamburger with onion rings. The lasagna was tasty but kind of small for a main dish.

Are Scottish cousin’s truck is here for lunch while we were visiting Saint Andrews. The restaurant overlooking the famous golf courses. The food was very good and the beer are nice and cold. It was a great experience and I would love to return again.

Durante muchos años he almorzado en el Swilcan Lounge y siempre he estado muy satisfecho. Fabulosa ubicación con vistas a los enlaces, el hotel Old Course y la ciudad a la izquierda. El personal está elegantemente vestido en blanco y negro y siempre es eficiente y amable. Creo que la calidad y los precios de la comida son excelentes para un lugar tan excelente y una experiencia siempre agradable y agradable, muy recomendable.

Perfect spot to close out a day of golf or sightseeing. Cold beer and good food. Easy walk across the 18th and 1st fairways.

Almorzamos aquí en nuestro primer día en la calle Andrews y nos impresionó tanto que reservamos nuevamente para el día siguiente. La comida era excelente, con un personal muy amable y eficiente. Al ser un grupo de ocho, nos asignaron una mesa llamada Torreta, que era simplemente perfecta. Lo recomiendo altamente

Tuvimos varias comidas aquí, un almuerzo en un día y una cena en otro.

Visitamos un jueves y encontramos que la mitad del restaurante estaba cerrado. La otra área estaba muy ocupada; Por lo tanto, recomendaría reservar incluso a mediados de semana.

ゴルフ場のクラブハウスの中にあるレストランです。ゴルフやらなくても立ち入ることができます。横に広がる美しいグリーンを見ながらのランチは、ゴルフやらない方でも楽しめます。また同じクラブハウス内にゴルフ場のお土産屋さんがあり、日本語も通じます。更にはゴルフ場を巡るウォーキングツアーも行われていてお勧めです。

Had lunch here on a chilly day in September. Everything was wonderful. Our server was Nicolle, and you won't find a more pleasant person. We didn't have reservations but were seated by the windows and never felt rushed. Highly recommend.

Called here one lunchtime! Lovely food. We had the Hungarian Goulash. All the food looked great. Views are great too.

Reviewed this in 2016 and returned last week - original review holds good, which says a lot for the management of The Swilcan Lounge - my only slight concern this time was that a lady, who appeared to be a senior server - didn't smile very readily!

We called ahead and they gave us a wonderful view of the course. Our food was lovely, especially the roasted veg soup. Very friendly staff. Really great atmosphere.

Booked a table for my mums birthday for 4 people. A good choice of menu and pleasant surroundings. Food was good and we didn't have to wait long. It was a little noisy for my parents but it was particularly busy. I wouldn't let that put me off going again. For being in such a prestigious place with lovely views the prices were very reasonable.

Entre las muchas opciones en esta ciudad turística, esta instalación tipo casa club es una de nuestras favoritas, no solo por su amplio estacionamiento gratuito y acceso para sillas de ruedas, sino por sus excelentes vistas del campo de golf de primer nivel y el green número 18. Las ofertas no han cambiado a lo largo de los años y los precios reflejan el área general, pero el servicio es atento y los baños impecables para que pueda llevar a su madre.

I have been to this Restaurant many times mostly with Foreign visitors in tow and always advised them to go for the Fish and Chips, well I was so disappointed on this occasion.

We stopped for lunch and walked past the putting area to the clubhouse. The restaurant inside has great views of the course. Fish and chips were good but highly recommend the lobster mac and cheese. Expensive but expected.

Venimos aquí desde hace años y siempre nos han acogido tan bien. Mi esposa estaba mal y no pudo unirse a mí en los enlaces. Entonces ella se quedó aquí sola. Le atendieron e hicieron lo mismo durante nuestra cena allí. Su comida es bastante buena y vale la pena nuestras visitas repetidas. Los servidores están muy bien entrenados como la anfitriona.

Mi amigo Andy Ray y yo recibíamos a dos invitados de la Royal Burgess Golfing Society en el Old Course. Anteriormente nos habían entretenido en su Club en Barnton, Edimburgo, que fue fundado en 1735. Nos dieron un juego en su excelente curso y luego un almuerzo maravilloso en su icónica casa club. Por lo tanto, éramos reciprocantes y teníamos una reserva de 1400 horas en el Old Course. Nuestra dificultad estaba en encontrar una reserva para comer en la altura de la temporada turística muy ocupada en la calle Andrews. Decidimos comer en el Swilcan Lounge en el Links Clubhouse, con vistas a los cursos New y Jubilee.

After our walking tour of the Old Course we made a reservation for lunch at the lounge. The food was good, service was also good. Other than its location, its really nothing special as a restaurant. The menu is pretty standard fare and if you want to just be able to continue to experience being in the Old Course, then this place is a solid choice.

The restaurant has pleasant views over the golf course, no problems with service, food seemed a bit overpriced, parking on site.

Every time we go here we hope for an outstanding experience. OK maybe those expectations are too high. We just hope for a pleasant experience. With the front desk employees securing tee times being outstanding, the gift shop employees being outstanding--why does this place do so poorly??? Is it under some kind of different management??

Whenever we are in Fife, we try and head to St Andrews for lunch here. It is so relaxing with amazing views over the golf course and also the famous Himalayas Putting Green. The service is good and I ordered a steak which was one of the nicest cooked steaks I have eaten. The food is always very well presented and tastes as good as it looks. We sat enjoying the atmosphere, with golfers coming and going, yet there is a calmness about the place which makes you want to linger.

Nice location nice staff and good service. Half the resturant closed - why ? not that busy and lots of empty tables. Food mediocre. Fish ok, chips awful, tasteless tartare sauce. family member had lamb which was tough and didnt have the promised mint gravy. Few uninspiring carrotts offered as veg.

My Sisters and I enjoyed a wonderful experience with excellent food and Service . The view of the Old Course a short walk from town to a fabulous and relaxed lunch we our tea and extra hot Walter was no problem x. The Caesar Salad and Chicken Focaccia we truly fresh and delicious and we felt reasonably prices for position and service thank you Isabelle x x

Et sted man bør besøge, hvis man spiller en runde på st. Andrews.

We were there after spending a couple of hours on at The Himalayas putting green. The food was very good,We were 11 people (and a guide dog) with children and senior citizens. The salad portions were big, but the hamburgers and French Fries, were. little small. They burgers should have included a side of salad. The prices are reasonable. Will visit again.

To eat here is always such a pleasure. But this is so much more than a pure dining experience. Located parallel to the 2nd and 17th fairways of the Old Course there are superb views on the three sides of big picture windows to the further reaches of the course, the fairways and the Old Course Hotel and back to the famous clubhouse and the spires of historic St Andrews. You can't fail to be impressed with the building as soon as you step over the threshold. There's a well laid-out and well-stocked shop and a huge black and white mural of Jack Nicklaus with the Claret Jug and a quote of his. Make your way to the dining room and there is a mixture of traditional table and sofa seating. Serving staff are bright young mainly local people who know the answers to any questions and serve with a professional and pleasant attitude. The menu offers extensive choice of locally-sourced produce and in our experience - and we've had the pleasure of eating here on many occasions - it's always prepared to perfection. The clientele is always cosmopolitan but from the accents you will invariably think you're in the US. It's worth spending a leisurely visit just to soak up the ambience and sense of occasion.

Went in for drinks with a couple of friends after golf and we were staying at the hotel. The bartender was not busy and evidently did not want to be. We were at the bar for a few minutes and then had to ask for a drink. We took them to a table and were never asked if we wanted another. We finally got up and got our own bowl of nuts and never another word was spoken by the bartender when we were presented the bill.

It is a number of years since we have had lunch in this restaurant. The setting of course is wonderful. Friendly waiting staff served us. The food overall was lovely, fish Pie had lovely flavour and texture, pork stir fry was flavoursome. Turbot was a little overcooked though risotto very good. Sauvingnon

We are regular non golfing visitors to The Links Clubhouse for lunch and always look forward to a warm welcome, tasty filling food, and smiling efficient staff. We had to wait an inordinate amount of time to be seated as there was no one there to greet us and there was no menu to peruse while we waited.
