Great little cafe. Lovely local cafe with local food. Nice staff and very easy going. Breakfast rolls and seafood chowder were excellent. The museum well worth a visit.

We stumbled on this cafe after visiting the Secret Cold War Bunker. What a find. The staff are friendly and the food simply delicious. The fish is amazing. Smoked haddock, smoked and cured salmon, seafood chowder. The menu is simple but tasty. For the non fishy people there are sandwiches, jacket potatoes, soup and macaroni cheese. Cakes are also there for those with a sweet tooth. There is also a small gift shop. The cafe is across the road from a pay and display car park and the harbor and next to the museum (which we didn’t have an opportunity to visit). We bumped into a South African couple who have lived there for 7 years and decided the place as “paradise”. Definitely worth a visit. There is a boat trip to the Isle of May but we didn’t fancy that in the cold wet weather.

The title says it! I won’t write a negative review but this issue must be addressed. Having been in the trade myself having uncovered food where people stand and wait and are inches away speaking and observed a cough over the cakes is a definite no no. I can’t be the only one put off by this. Despite that the ladies albeit rushed off their feet on the Anstruther festival weekend were very pleasant. And perhaps lack of staff made them stop serving food early. We were there at 2.30. This would have been a perfect time to make lots of money. Unless cake covering issue is addressed sadly I won’t be back. When my daughter worked there cakes were always covered as was with the previous managers of the cafe. I didn’t take photos as I’m sure this is something that will be rectified asap.

Excellent food, and a delightful staff. We had the soup of the day. Huge bowl with bread. Worth the stop. Take in the museum while you are here.

A bit of the beaten track but worth it. If this café was in the city centre, it would be packed out every day! We enjoyed lovely, freshly made sandwiches in a cosy atmosphere and took some delicious cakes home. I hadn’t been for a while but it’s every bit as nice as I remember, we’ll definitely be back.

We didn't stay but went for lunch one Sunday. We booked but several groups turned up without booking and were able to get a table. The menu is the usual pub grub but nicely presented and service was quick. Ae chose the roast beef, meatball and curry with icecream and coffee to follow. All very tasty The welcome and service were frienly and efficient and the dining room light airy and spacious.

What a disappointment. I found the Bothy at Boglily on TA, loved the look of the place, the gorgeous photos of cooked food on their site and the good reviews. We are doing a road trip and this was going to be our Sunday morning treat. The car park was jammed with cars and we saw people standing in a queue to pet baby goats. Upon entering the inviting Bothy and asking a young man for a table, we were told that we couldn’t bring our dog in. Fair enough. Not every dining establishment is dog-friendly. Though I was a bit surprised as the restaurant is in a buffalo farm, there’s a petting zoo and it’s in the countryside. The sun was shining so I asked if we could order our meal and sit at the table on the deck, directly next to the door of The Bothy (see photo for proximity). The young man’s response was that they don’t offer takeaway. I queried whether a table one step from the door qualified as takeaway. It reminded me of the TV ad with the man trying to buy potatoes at a farm shop and being told that he can only pay with digital currency. People taking themselves so seriously that they don’t think of the customer experience. We had driven up from our holiday cottage at Kinghorn especially to get a nice cooked breakfast from their lovely menu, so my surprise and disappointment were apparent. I was directed to the outdoor kiosk they call the Milk Bar to order something from their limited selection. We ordered one Double Cheese Toastie with fries, a latte, an affogato milkshake ( made with buffalo milk ice cream) and a scone, which was on their menu. The two lovely servers told me that they don’t sell scones outside and I would have to go to the Bothy Café to get one. When I explained that I had been told up there that I couldn’t get anything from them takeaway, the young woman offered to go get one for me. They were both very sweet and I apologised for my previous grumpiness. Unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the trouble. The cheese toastie and fries were served in a cardboard tray. The toastie was on “cheap white bread” according to my partner. I didn’t taste it. The fries and the milkshake however, were excellent. My scone was dry, cold and crumbled into breadcrumb texture when I tried to spread some butter on it. The crumb was impossible to pick up and eat but my dog liked it. It wasn’t worth eating for me as it then began to rain and we had to head for the car. I can’t help but think that the very cheerful, welcoming and upmarket website promises more than it delivers.
