I visited this restaurant for the first (and I hope not the last) time in spring 11. The location is spectacular, right on the beach. We watched the tide come in as we ate lunch.
The service was spectacular too, as was the food. The bill? Yes, spectacular!
We both had a starter, and then shared a seafood platter. Lobster, prawn, crab, oyster... you name it. Wonderful. A glass of wine may have been involved, but I was driving. Next time I’ll plan better.
I did have an occasional vision of the Ayr Ladies tramping their way across the Old Course in the dark in their high heels, to get from their hotel to the restaurant. A ghost from the mists of time.
I wish I had a picture from a sunny day - which it was when I was there last year - but this will have to do meantime. The architecture is interesting, and won’t be to everyone’s taste. How did they get to build it that way in that location?
Oh yes, the bill. £90 for 2. Not what I usually spend on lunch, but she’s worth it.
Favorite Dish: The seafood platter. Fresh & delicious.

I had Sunday lunch there today. As soon as I got inside I realised I'd been before, but a few years back.
It's very attractive and modern inside, once past the traditional exterior. It has a large outdoor area at the back - not quite warm enough for that today as far as I was concerned, but plenty others were using it. It's covered by a canopy.
The service was good, and all 3 of us were happy with what we had. £29 all in, so not expensive.
By coincidence, today I was there to have lunch with a friend who was also in my university rugby team, and also enjoyed giving the St Andrews students a few good whacks (refer to my St A intro page for more info). Good to see you again, Gus.
Favorite Dish: I can't remember what I had on my last visit. Today it was a piri piri chicken burger with mozzarella. Good, but certainly not inspiring.

I happen to find this restaurant when I was looking for a place for dinner. I had a look inside, and i liked the decoration because it is about Rock & Roll music. Nice atmosphere here, I had a good dinner, and I don't considered it expensive, at least regarding today's prices.
This restaurant was founded in 1.983 at 131 South street, but mived to the current location in 1.985.
The website says that it's open April-October (info: Oct. '08).
Favorite Dish: Good salmon fillet I had here.

As a student I used to regularly go to the KFB - or Kinness Fry Bar to give it its full name. The fish and chips are well worth it - good batter and a good helping of chips. The pizzas are among the best in St Andrews and they have a good range of wines to take out. It is open until very late - often 1:30 am or even 2am and the food is usually ready pretty quickly.
Favorite Dish: I used to love a battered haggis in my time - hard to beat, when eaten with chips and a can of Irn Bru.

This isn't so much a restaurant as a coffee shop but it does do light meals. There is no shortage of coffee shops in St Andrews but I like MacGregors! If you enjoy home baking then I think you will too! It isn't the cheepest coffee shop around but not the dearest either.
Favorite Dish: Cheese and mustard farls - so delicious and moist. Mmmmm!
Or, if you prefer something sweet, the lemon sponge is delicious.

I could not describe how important is to taste the ice cream of b. jannetta. I will let you do that and give comment about it - in the website. it is a must and it is something that you must not miss. it is very cheap too. some people say, they can double the price and people would still
ok. that's it.
wait, did i tell you it is a must? good. make sure you taste at least 3 flavours. They have 99 flavours.
Favorite Dish: Describe my favorite ice cream? Are you joking - that is a hard question, man...! A real hard one...!

Being stranded in a city called Dundee, with no decent Japanese restaurant - I found this place as heaven.
It serves a mix of Thai and Japanese foods and they are both served fresh and tasted exactly like I expect. You might be able to find better restaurants than Nahm-Jim back in Asian countries, like mine, Indonesia, but to find one like Nahm-Jim, here in Dundee (am currently a postgraduate student in Dundee Uni), then it is a miracle.
The rice is cooked perfectly - the spices were perfect, the sushi were fresh and the desserts make you feel like you are home. I tried this banana fritters with ice cream - which was a perfection to my perfect meal.
This restaurant - is a must to visit if you are in St. Andrews or if you live in the surrounding areas.
Check out their website and you might be intriqued to try the mistery menu on winter. I was there on spring, so i missed all the fun. but definetly will go there on winter to get that mistery menu :)
Favorite Dish: The banana fritters - and all the other food.

Can be really quite good. Very comfortable to linger in, the bar provides pretty decent real ales as well as your luminous green teenage rubbish. restaurant is very expensive but lunch time fodder is reasonable.
Favorite Dish: soups

A great place to go in order to shop for that little special something and have some quality grub. Serves Illy coffee as well... the cakes are to die for and there's an authentic Scottish cuisine from time to time, especially the soups, broths and the like. Great service upstairs, but beware, can be very popular (word of mouth does work). Those of you not in need of refreshment can loiter downstairs amomng the cards, goodies and all sorts of wonderful things. Really great wee place.
Favorite Dish: A decent coffee and carrot cake.

Good basic fodder. Consistently well prepared and presented. Service is friendly and it's all reasonably priced in a great typical British pub like setting. Highly recommended!
Favorite Dish: The fish & chips was really pretty good.
