$$$$$ – Splurge-Worthy Fine Dining in St Andrews
The Treadwell Inn and The Rossmount
Granny's Opinion:
The Treadwell Inn offers excellent food in town and The Rossmount Inn is the same high standard and price, but a mile or so outside. Neither is cheap, but both are charming and original – perfect for special occasions.
Parent's Opinion:
Best saved for a date night or a grown-up celebration, no one really wants to see children in either place. However, do go at lunchtime and sit outside. The Treadwell has a sweet garden and the Rossmount has a huge rolling lawn. My sisters and I often sit at the bar at the Rossmount, it's less fussy and the cocktails come faster!
Top Tip:
You can walk up Chamcook Mountain behind the Rossmount. It’s quite a steep climb, so take Dunsters Doughnuts as a bribe – suitable for kids over 7. Then have a drink overlooking the lawns afterwards on the terrace. One of the best views in St Andrews!
$$$$ – Exceptional Garden Dining
Kingsbrae Garden Cafe
Granny's Opinion:
The heavenly location of the Kingsbrae Garden restaurant both inside and outside, with private rooms, an art gallery and delicious food is hard to beat. It's an original menu with a great cook, beautiful views and friendly staff – a true St Andrews gem.
Parent's Opinion:
This is such a fun option. Call in advance and book a table outside so kids can run free after they have ordered. The restaurant overlooks a huge lawn and sometimes the alpacas come out to graze. Inside is a bit more stuffy, but staff are very accommodating of children and nothing is too much trouble.
