The View Restaurant in Fife

Absolutely delicious sea bass with a Thai curry sauce from the specials menu. Lovely restaurant with rather special food!

Phenomenal tasting food, kind and professional service, beautiful afternoon

Recently, I went to this wonderful restaurant with a gorgeous view of the Tay and an awesome staff, and had the best experience. I could not find a better place to propose to my girlfriend. All perfect: the food and dessert were so delicious and the environment is really cozy and welcoming. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff members for helping me to surprise my girlfriend, you were amazing! I strongly recommend this restaurant and will certainly come back!

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely meal at The View Restaurant recently, well worth the trip across from Dundee. We were down in Dundee for a weekend break & our location close to city centre meant it was an easy trip across the Tay by bus to the restaurant. The food was excellent, very well presented,portion sizes were generous and importantly tasted fantastic, across all 3 courses. My only very slight grumble was the service, but talking to the owner after our meal, he explained that some of the staff were new and were training. Would certainly recommend and afterwards we did enjoy the 'view' as we waited for the return journey back across the Tay. 😁

Lovely evening with great food, excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere.

Fabulous meal again. Never let's us down. Always a decent selection of wines.

Saw the lovely reviews and planned to pop in for a coffee after a long dog walk. Seems I got the wrong end of the stick from the reviews I skim read as it's not exactly dog friendly. You're not allowed in the restaurant - you have to sit in a little shed at the back. Nice enough I think, and with a heater, but rather defeats the object of going to a place called The View. We didn't stay, so not fair to give a negative rating, but thought others might appreciate the clarification.

Very high quality food, cooked and seasoned perfectly. Well worth the journey and the cost

we had a great meal here, the food and ambience could not be faulted. I had the Cod, my brother the turkey dinner very good, even though we were tempted by the specials.

Thoroughly enjoyed a lovely meal served in tasteful, homely surroundings. The food presentation and quality was excellent served by friendly and attentive staff. The menu is not large but there is certainly something to suit everyone's taste. We had three courses each and they were all excellent.

Christmas menu was fantastic, cooked to perfection and a reasonable price

Food excellent, service a bit on slow side

Fantastic night with lovely food yet again with stunning views over to Dundee ( even in the dark ). Used the View Restaurant on numerous occasions for family special events and get togethers with friends and never been let down. Tables are well spaced out so you are not having to listen to the next tables conversation. Last but no means least all the staff are always very professional and friendly a great wee team 👍🏼

Great food, five star breakfasts

Wonderful gem! We popped in for coffee/cake but decided to have breakfast/brunch instead. Great service, friendly staff and fabulous food.

We popped in for coffee/cake but then decided to have breakfast/ brunch instead. Fantastic place, friendly staff and delicious food. The view was not the best as it was a misty day but that didn't detract from our visit. Will definitely visit again.

Good selection of menu choices, yummy food and great service :)

Steak deal was sensational. Special starter great too. Service, ambiance, value all excellent. And of course the View is iconic - pun intended! Many thanks Steve and his excellent team.

The best meal we have eaten in Scotland during our month long stay. Superb. Fantastic menu, staff, view, ambience and of course food 😋.

We are regular customers and we usually love it. This time the food was ok and nothing tgta make me feel to come back. I would suggest to rinnovate the menu and elevate again the taste of your food.

The View staff were very welcoming we had 24 people at the wedding breakfast the aperitifs were delicious. The first course that I had was small haggis fritters they were delicious this was followed by in an irn bru sorbet fabulous, chicken, mash potatoes with leeks through the mash and veg very ,very tasty, and to top off with meringue roulade absolutely delicious .If you get the chance you must go the view is fantastic to sit and look through the windows so welcoming the atmosphere is great you couldn’t ask for anything better.All of the guests enjoyed there meals. A place you’ll want to return to. Thank you to Steve and Karen for making the wedding meal memorable for all your staff were lovely as well as very caring.

Brilliant foodie venue ... can't recommend it highly enough

Always look forward to a visit to the View and am never disappointed. It’s well named. Had a lovely lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the chicken in a superb sauce. Nicely served

Found this place by chance, and it was amazing. The food was superb, as was the service. Highly recommend 👌

I had the absolute delight to visit The View (which is more than aptly named) for the wedding breakfast of two of my dearest friends, Scott & Keith. The owners, Steve & Karen pulled of a truly special evening for our group with perfectly tailored courses to suit the guests and the grooms. The food was spectacular, I was too pre-occupied to take many photos, but trust me that this is a great place for food and a brilliant venue for a special dinner.

My brothers wedding breakfast (dinner) was hosted by Steve and Karen at the View and I can only say everything was AMAZING! The food was to die for, the staff very friendly and the views over the Tay were fabulous! They went over and above to ensure everyone’s needs were catered for and honestly couldn’t have imagined any where better to celebrate. If you get the chance, I would highly recommend anyone takes the opportunity to enjoy a visit!

Having had excellent food and service here numerous times over a number of years, we opted to book The View for our recent wedding. The food and service were excellent as always! The pre planning was excellent with good communication from the team. On the day, the front of house team were excellent - professional and accommodating but also very warm! The food was once again exceptional and all guests confirmed this! We had a large table and the food was prepared and served smoothly, with no delays like you sometimes get with large groups. All of the food was delicious but the black pudding bon bons, haggis fritters, venison, and sticky toffee pudding were notably popular with our guests! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks to all the team.

Excellent food friendly atmosphere and fab view. Very highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely evening

Nice food and efficient service.

Passed on a walk with family and thought it would be nice to sit outside for breakfast. We all settled at a table and I wandered in for menus. Woman who looked in charge shrugged her shoulders and said 'we've got nothing' - the place was half empty inside, plenty staff behind the bar and had only been open 15 minutes. The most unwelcoming, unfriendly (downright rude) response from anywhere I have ever visited. Why was there 'nothing' - do people pre-order food? Was there not a bacon roll or even a cup of coffee to be had? This was a weekday. Absolutely ridiculous response and I felt humiliated. Will never step foot in this place again. Oh...and found out later the woman is actually the owner. Clearly doesn't need the custom!!

Menu for vegàn, which is great, and we needn't have hurried to get there as we had plenty of time to chat before our first course arrived. It was great that the staff took their time bringing food out with only 15 guests attending they had plenty of time to serve food hot. As a vegan I don't really need protein at all (?) so felt very sated with the deep fried veg dripping in hot oil with no protein in the main. With a choice of two desserts, sorbet or plum and aged nut crumble, the sorbet was delicious, I could have done without the aged nut crumble... I didn't know aged nuts were a thing, must be an acquired taste.

We were at a private function. The food, staff and service were second to none ( they weren't expecting as many guests, but they rose to the occasion) The views are wonderful. A perfect venue.

We decided to take a family member out to celebrate a birthday. The food was amazing, well presented and thoroughly enjoyable. The wait staff were friendly and very efficient. It was great to see a local restaurant so busy on a Saturday evening.

A couple of weeks ago, as I was visiting my Sister-in-Law in nearby Gauldry; together with her Daughter and Partner, (after a few years), returned to this lovely Restaurant for a spot of Lunch. Once again, all the Food was nicely presented and very tasty but the star of our Lunch was the Breaded Peterhead Fillets of Plaice! Also, the welcome and the quality of the Service, (especially), by the Owner was Excellent. Overall a Good Lunch and Very Good Value.

I'm not sure if it's set hours? I've been lazy (I'll have to check). I've not been here and would like to visit.

There are good views over the Tay, the place wasn't busy but the service was slow. Five of us, four meals came we were told the last would be a little while. We had all but finished befor it arrived. Overall, not value for money, expensive for what it was. I will not be going back.

Excellent food very tasty and locally sourced. Tasty Angus beef with a lovely gravy, crisped new potatoes and tasty vegetables. Lemon merguine roulade with local raspberry. Definitely worth a visit and service by Jasmin was very good.

The food was excellent and service very good, I asked for a vodka martini, Jasmin made me a perfect one. I had the Angus sliced sirloin with local vegetables and delicious sauce, i enjoyed the slight cooked red onion dipped in a crispy batter and crispy new potatoes, my husband had the chicken with a delicious sauce and small sides of black pudding, cabbage. Desert was sublime, I had the lemon merguine marscapone roulade with lemon sauce and local raspberries, just yum. Chocolate mousse, with strawberries and homemade imore chocolate ice cream. Just delicious. So book now and don't miss this delicious food. I live local and will be back. Thank you to Jasmin for the excellent service.

Fantastic restaurant the food as always Fabulous

Went along to the View on Sunday night to try the tapas/small plates menu they were doing as a special for the weekend - can honestly say the food was some of the best I have ever had - tried 3 different dishes (haggis, Thai...

Great food, great service , super views - highly recommended

I've not been here for a while. Used to visit quite often. Looks nice, the food was well presented and tasty, and the service was good too. My only negative point would be the price. In my personal opinion, I think the increases since my last visit were a bit steep for lunch. Three open sandwiches, one small soup, one tea, and one coffee. No other drinks. The bill came to £56...

Four people who all thoroughly enjoyed each course. Great service and delicious food, well presented.

Excellent Visited with my mum, my husband, my sister and brother-in-law, and my two young boys. Service was brilliant. Food was delicious.

Amazing Service from waiters! Everyone I was with said food was amazing and cooked to perfection. Nice view of the Tay and it’s railway bridge (I think) Fast service of great food! Would recommend!

Excellent venue, food and staff. Highly recommended.

Fantastic restaurant. The chef was very helpful with gluten free and dairy free diet. The food was wonderful; beautifully cooked and presented. The serving staff were helpful and friendly and knowledgeable about restrictive diets. The restaurant had a great atmosphere with no loud music to...

Excellent menu, beautiful meal, prompt service, and friendly ambience.

5 miles out on my Fife Coastal path hike with 2 dogs in tow, thinking to myself, as I arrived at the foot of the Tay train bridge, I really fancy a coffee! The View Restaurant was nearby so we took a small detour. What a gem of a place with caring staff who take the time to say hello, a fabulous menu (I really wasn't expecting that) a talented chef and the result is one (no sorry 3, the dogs got sausages each) very satisfied customers. If you are ever in the area it is definitely worth making time for a full dining experience here.

Wonderful! Five people for dinner, five absolutely delicious meals. Not a speck left on our plates. This place is an absolute jewel!

Jasmine, our waitress for the evening, was welcoming, friendly and attentive but not intrusive. We had two courses, a starter and main, which were excellent. Portion size was right, perfectly cooked and the timing of the service was spot on, not waiting too long nor...

Had a lovely lunch at The View today. The food was delicious and beautifully presented.

A great visit. Superb view matched by wonderful food and excellent service. The plaice was amongst the best we have tasted and the desserts weregreat

When you don’t often find the time to enjoy an evening out with your partner, you want to be sure that everything’s perfect and The View definitely ticked all the boxes. From arrival to departure we were made to feel like old friends, nothing was...

A wonderful, relaxing Saturday dinner at The View for the two of us. It's difficult to pick out a highlight from the three courses, as all the food served to us was excellent - full of flavour, and beautifully presented too - but I would...

Went for dinner in this family run restaurant on a Saturday night. Spacious car park available. I imagine the view would have been lovely, had we not arrived after dark. We'll definitely come back in the summer and watch the sun set. We were greeted...

A lovely restaurant with efficient staff great menu and high quality delicious food.

Thank you so much Steve, Karen and the team at The View for a superb Hogmanay Dinner. As always the meal and the service were excellent and the friendly atmoshere makes our annual New Year get-together a hugely enjoyable experience. Fillet of Beef cooked perfectly...

I've visited The View around four times over three years and the food has always been excellent. Clever twists in with fresh ingredients and just enough, so you don't feel packed. The chef is clearly intelligent and creative, and the team there have always been...

Very friendly staff festive menu was excellent. Food was first class what more can I say. Fantastic evening celebrating a family get together. Would highly recommend. Service quick without being rushed.

Nothing to fault. Menu was excellent. Food and wine were ace. Prices very fair too. Will be back.

Our visit for 4 was very good presentation and taste was perfect for us all. The staff were lovely, and knowledgeable. Setting with a view over the Tay with the rail bridge to the side. Well worth our first visit and we will be back....

The view from the restaurant is of the Tay estuary and rail bridge and what a view. It's in the name. The meal was excellent and beautifully presented and served. Staff very friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. I cannot but highly recomend...

3rd visit and very enjoyable but the menu could do with a bit of a shake up.

Not called the View for nothing. The view is of the river Tay estuary and rail bridge. The food is superb as is the hospitality and service. The desert I had was apple and plum with ice cream beautifully served. A fine finish to a perfect meal.

A great place for an afternoon lunch if you are in Scotland. The place is a little drive along the River Tay where the view is closest to the Tay Rail Bridge, quite spectacular when once a while where you catches the train passing. It...

A lovely meal in a very relaxed setting. All to the point!

Phoned to say ok to pop by for a drink only as will be walking and no worries had a fab table with gorgeous views of the bridge, Tay and Dunder

Food was outstanding, service impeccable and the views out of this world.

Food, service and staff great.stuning views

Great food with fantastic staff.

Didn't book but luckily we're given a table on a Friday lunchtime, goats cheese starter lovely, blade of beef to follow meltingly divine, couldn't manage a dessert but my companions could and they looked fabulous, they agreed the food was delicious and well presented, service was good 👍 definitely worth a visit 😋 will be back, oh and the ladies 😉

We had delicious food here, with very friendly and helpful service. Of course it's not called 'The View' for no good reason. Enjoying good food in good company overlooking the beautiful River Tay and the Tay Rail bridge is what this restaurant gives you.

We stopped here on a lark and it turned out to be one the best finds in Scotland! The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were more than adequate and the meals were very well prepared. The coffee drinks were just what we needed to get us going. The space itself was nicely decorated and very comfortable. Definitely worth deviating from our route for this place. Would love to come again.

Such an amazing atmosphere and food where the staff make it all the more special! Came here for a 50th birthday party and they were so accommodating to everything! Food came out at a brilliant pace and was truly a lovely evening. Massive shoutout to...

Visited the restaurant for lunch yesterday, had our dog Daisy with us, I can only say that although we had an amazing lunch, we were made welcome by all the staff. We sat in the garden area at the rear, thanks to all staff and the chef for the sausages for Daisy. I would certainly recommend the View Restaurant for a warm welcome and great food, ice location also reasonably priced menu.

Attend with family members for breakfast before starting a journey home. Staff were super friendly and attentive. I asked for the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs (instead of the poached egg accompaniment listed on the menu). My fellow diners had a combination of the black...

The food is outstanding, 3rd time I’ve been here and every time it’s been incredible, such a treat. Great service, good selection on the menu, my new favourite place for a special occasion, just love it, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely stunning place , great food And The owner is the most Nice person we ever met in this kind of business , we been there few weeks ago with our Kids , they love it too !

Beautiful food. Great service. Highly recommended!

Beautiful food - great service. Would highly recommend.

An intimate restaurant which has a wonderful evening menu and a view of the Tay bridge to die for : the staff were extremely friendly and it was a very relaxed atmosphere . The food was first rate I had sea bass asparagus sautéed new potatoes in a beautiful sauce whose name eludes me : great range of desserts I went for the key lime cheesecake with lemon sorbet and if I had room for more I'd have another : I don't drink but had a mocktail which was a meal in itself with the amount of fruit in it : would go out of my way to eat there again - superb

on so many levels this was an absolutely lovely meal! the food was delicious. it was presented in a beautiful manner. the service was top knotch. and the dark chocolate tart with cherry ice cream was one of the best deserts i’ve ever had. and...

Wonderful food, service and location. We enjoyed our dinner mainly of seafood which was beautifully cooked and served.

Nice friendly staff, coffee and scone very good. Highly recommend this place.

Back at The View for Sunday lunch after avoiding most settings for a while. So pleased to say that the quality of the food is just as good as it always was. The crispy belly pork starter was very very tasty. We had mains of...

An absolute gem! Lovely service and amazing food:) I would definitely recommend as it has outdoor seats with cosy lights and it just makes the whole experience exiting and enjoyable!

Visited The View for lunch today, have been a few times before & have never been disappointed. Relaxed atmosphere, super view & excellent staff. Will be back

Excellent dinner for my wife's birthday. The View never fails to deliver and the food and service this evening was excellent. Changes to the layout of the restaurant have improved on what was always a good dining experience. The menu is varied and caters for...

Four of us had a lovely lunch in the View today the food was delicious. Sea Bream, Plaice and Chicken all delicious. Couldn't fault a thing. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit.

Having dined here on many occasions whilst visiting family nearby, we once again chose The View for our most recent get together. The welcome here is always warm and friendly and whoever trains their young servers does an excellent job! Nine of us sat down...

Wonderful lunch at The View Restaurant , We were spoiled for choice ! We couldn’t fault one thing . Food Wonderful Great staff and service Everywhere is spotless and the Ladies was very well equipped and spotless . We will definitely return .

Lovely friendly place. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed but coffee and cake was very nice.

Had seen the restaurant website when looking for options when travelling back from St Andrews. I am so glad we stopped in. The staff were excellent from the start, very attentive but also very aware of the customers needs. I hate being asked how things...

My wife and I were given a voucher for Christmas and went along today to use it, the service was friendly and attentive , the food was excellent I had the special starter of sesame chicken strips with rocket and chilli sauce , Carol had...

Everything about our visit was excellent. Service, food and ambiance were first class. We will certainly be back for another visit.

Very nice restaurant with beautiful views across the Tay. Food excellent but meal spoiled with a dreadful coffee. Supposed to be a flat white but too little very weak coffee and far too much burnt milk which gave the coffee a very unpleasant taste.

Gave this place a try and so glad we did: service, food, informal ambiance all excellent and of course the most iconic view. Gammon dish was knockout and home made cinnamon ice cream rounded Sunday lunch off perfectly. So enjoyable we simply had to thank...

We really enjoyed our lunch at the View, we hadn't booked and although restaurant was busy they found us a table. The lemon sole special was delicious, and when back in that area we will be back. Views are quite something and laid back atmosphere.

Very nice, quiet sunny tables out the back.
