The best restaurants in St. Andrews Fife Central Scotland

Now live near Manchester but every time I visit the area I pop into Stuart's shop in St Andrews. Top of the agenda are the unbeatable steak pies which are vastly superior to the offerings down South. I always end up taking several to converts near where I live. They have been enjoyed as far away as the Isle of Man!! My work colleagues always ask when I'm coming up to Scotland so they can savour the pies that cannot be had down here. Remember Stuart and his dad from Tayport over 20 years ago. Definitely the best butcher around with very helpful staff.

We tried The Crepe Shack at The Scottish Deer Centre. Crepe's are made to order, fresh, staff are friendly, it cost £5.25 for a Nutella and Banana Crepe. It was really good. We shared this as a family, passing it around for bite until it was gone and it served as a lovely sweet snack which broke up our time exploring the Centre. We would purchase from them again.

We visited the restaurant on a beautiful night overlooking the 18th green. Restaurant was very busy and staff were very attentive. The manager (Lukasz) was amazing and he recommended the chateaubriand with a bottle of wine which was excellent. Definitely give this restaurant a try folks and keep up the good work !!

Magnífico increíble delicioso. La única culpa es 5 estrellas no es suficiente para darle justicia. Estaba con mi familia de 5 y a todos nos encantó. Bien hecho a la chef y su personal por hacer que sea un día tan hermoso. Todos volveremos. Gracias

This is the most delicious breakfast that I have tasted in St Andrews recently. I chose exactly what I wanted including a flipped fried egg and it all arrived swiftly and really nicely cooked. Plus served on HOT PLATES. Wonderful. We’ll be back

What a way to start your day. The setting is perfect. Look out to the Old Course. Staff super helpful. You may see them after golf at the One Under Bar. Many options for breakfast. And they are accommodating for changes.

Este hotel es una pequeña joya. Cogimos la familia para grub tradicional de pub y no me decepcionó. Toda la comida es fresco en el lugar. Lasaña es la mejor que he probado en mi vida. El pastel de carne se deshace en la boca. El pescado, recién maltratada en la cocina no debería perderse y luego está el desayuno todo el día. Le no busques más para disfrutar de una buena comida.

A great meal in a great location. A small restaurant with very good food and attentive service. We’d happily visit again.

Fantastic wee place right next to thebeach. Really relaxed vibes with indoor and outdoor seating under a big canopy…great for Scottish summers! We had a couple of rolls on sausage and coffee. All was delicious! The coffee was so good we went back in for more after our walk on the beach. The staff are great here and there is lots of options for food and drinks. I was speaking to one of the owners today (I think!) and he was just a lovely guy! Been here a couple of times now and will make sure I visit again next time I’m in St Andrews.

Great food. service okay. Fine if your looking for a casual dining experience and don't mind sitting really, really, really!!! close to the next table. Giving it 5 stars as the food is very tasty.

delicious, super healthy food. got a combo of 3 salads - lentils with roasted carrots, roasted potatoes and third was brussel sprouts with chick peas and a yogurt sauce. Will definitely return!

Been to the restaurant a few times and the food is always great. Staff are attentive and is reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

A must-see if you're interested in golf. A legendary golf course. Beautifully situated by the sea, a true classic. Friendly staff and an interesting history. Definitely recommended for a stopover, followed by another round of golf.

The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish… unique with a fantastic blend of flavours. The menu has a fantastic range of options to cater for everyone. There was a slight wait for our food however, the quality was worth it. We came for the steak pie and were not disappointed, it was served out of the dish at the table with vegetables, chips and a puff pastry top. We were presented with homemade scones before our starters arrived. They also have a tempting dessert menu. From the moment we were seated our waitress, Caitlyn made us feel welcome, hanging our coats up, greeting us with a smile and attending to our every need with impeccable professionalism. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she offered excellent recommendations. She was on the ball and attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were always filled and that we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Despite it being busy, she made an active effort to get to know customers. The service was prompt, and the food was delivered hot and delicious. Caitlyn went above and beyond to make our dining experience special, her likeable personality and enthusiasm to work shone through in the way she spoke and managed tables on a busy Saturday night. I highly recommend The Tavern at Strathkinnes for a delectable meal with top-notch service. We will definitely return when next in St. Andrews.

Great burgers, friendly staff and nice views from the terrace. I know where I'll go to eat when I come back to St. Andrews 😊
