The best restaurants in St. Andrews Fife Central Scotland

Food was amazing and the portion sizes were generous! A much-loved St Andrews staple

So disappointed, we've been to the Byers road Zizzis many a time and it's a family favourite. We were expecting the same and were sorely disappointed. Thankfully we had booked a table in advance however the place didn't seem busy. The manager who greeted us was great and he was really attentive. However after being taken to the table we were passed to the waiting staff and things went downhill. No-one came near us for a drinks order and we were left waiting for 20 minutes until someone came to take the food order, we then had to prompt them to take a drinks order. The waiting staff were abrupt and had no nicety about them. One was ridiculously rude when they brought food to the table that we hadn't ordered. When the food came it was lovely and couldn't complain about the kitchen at all, it was tasty and of a great standard. Over all the place looks nice, the food was lovely, but the waiting staff we dealt with were rude and unwelcoming.

Not impressed!Had expressly asked for a table for 9 and got confirmation on Open Table but the large tables had been given to what were clearly crowds of young Uni students.Told the manageress we were here to scatter our Mums ashes and she couldn’t care less,didn’t even give an apology,nor a reasonable excuse.We were put at 2 separate tables.The restaurant obviously ran a policy of getting as much pizza out as possible in as little time,but customer service is totally lacking.Only 1 member of staff smiled in the whole 1 1/2 hours we were there.

I ordered the pumpkin risotto, I should have taken a photo because it was a wet frothy mess. One bite and I felt sick, it smelt terrible and tasted worse. Looked like vomit. No one asked when taking it away if there was anything wrong with it, customer service poor. Would never eat here again!

We stopped here as it was one of those nights where we just wanted to eat and couldn’t be bothered to think too much about it. You can choose from Rice or Noddles, a meat/soya and some veg. Add some sauce and that’s your meal. It’s about as good / bad as you make it really. Dr Noodles are quite generous with the noodles and veg, but the flavour is not going to win any awards. Tbh if you want quality rice / noodles then go to your local takeaway, however if you want a quick bite and don’t care what it tastes like, this place is for you.

Was visiting st Andrews for October fest and saw the drunk owner shouting at students, wouldn't want to eat from there!

Lovely pub lunch with five people - everybody enjoyed their meals. And the dog even got a carrot from the kitchen as we had forgotten his treats. Great location next to the 18th at the Old Course.

The coffee is lovely but the screen tapping order system is a pain in the neck. I don’t accept that this is to improve service, it’s to reduce jobs. 3 times I had to tap in my coffee to get it right. The guy in charge when I was there is very passionate about what he serves, checking you have the right order but I’m inclined to think just take the order from me in the first place.

Dried out, waaaay over cooked, HAIRY pizza!! Ordered 3 pizzas online for delivery, arrived around 25 mins later & we opened the boxes to pizzas which were like cardboard & definite not ‘piping hot’ as they like to advertise! We were hungry & so started eating the pizzas & one of them (as it was dipped into the garlic sauce) showed us that it had a long hair embedded in it 🤮 My initial thought was that it was one of my hairs, but when I couldn’t pull it off the pizza because it was cooked into the cheese, I nearly threw up. On closer inspection there was another hair on the same pizza. Long story short, we called the store, a very unintelligent human answered, told us she would be back in touch re a refund when she got back in touch & proceeds to tell us that she couldn’t provide the store managers name as it was against GDPR regulations 😂 DELIVERY DATE; 03.07.24 at 21.30

We stopped by to have lunch while moving our daughter into College and it was very tasty! To escape the crowds of St. Andrew’s we drove out of the town and had lunch in this lovely golf club. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious!

Après notre belle journée sur le parcours du Dukes, nous avons manger et bu au club house. C'est encore dans son jus de l'époque Old School. La cuisine est bonne et le service agréable. Terrasse avec vue sur le parcours.

Came in today for a matcha hot drink however the girl behind the counter advised the machine will take 10-15 minutes to warm up before it can be made. It was 9:25am which i found bizarre as to why its not hot already. I asked when did the store open to which the girl replied 9am but i was late which was said unapologetically with attitude. Staff need to learn some manners and maybe take a bit more pride and respect for their place of work. Disappointing that i specifically planned this in and was left with such service from poor mannerisms.

We stayed near St Andrews over Xmas & New year & Used the Oriental House twice for takeaways. A very pleasant young lady served us each time & was very helpful. We didn't have long to wait for our food which turned out to be pretty good. We'll certainly use them again when we next visit the area.

Came for special afternoon tea. Had been over 4 years ago and had always recommended to friends. Quality has definitely gone down and price has gone up £34 per person plus 10% service charge. Not worth the money and doubt I would return again.

We booked the Mint Brasserie after reviewing it's web pages that offer award winning food and a wide variety of international dishes. Whilst the international dishes were offered, the standard of food we experienced was far from award winning and was very over priced for what we received. Adding to our disappointment was a poor and down market atmosphere. We both wished we had walked away when we saw it from the outside. I cannot recommend this pub/restaurant.
