Few Europeans and UK travelers will realize the privilege of being able to have a high quality meal…read morein the countryside. After all, this is a luxury that is simply not available for those visiting Scotland from the US, where the countryside is polluted with KFC and McDonalds emblems, leaving little appreciation for a family owned business and a high quality meal from real, local ingredients. Cafe Tabou spectacular. The ambiance is that of a dinner restaurant, with a great selection of steaks that the restaurant is best known for. The bottles of wine here are not expensive, although the upcharge to retail is substantial mostly landing at x3 to x4 to retail price. That is certainly higher than expected and putting higher quality bottles without increasing the price would be a reasonable consideration for the restaurant. When it comes to the steak, the preparation is absolutely phenomenal. The seafood is also excellent, with fish of the day being a great dish. All around, Cafe Tabou is easy to recommend. A great small restaurant.

Food was made to order, getting the Bich Back to sample the Scottish breakfast. I opted for the veggie option and the components were delicious. Mushrooms were nicely sautéed along with perfectly poached eggs. My wife had the corn fritters, lightly pan fried with creamy sauce. The combination of flavors hit different notes. Attentive staff that welcomed you the minute you entered. When we return to Dundee, we will be stopping by.

What a lovely place! I traveled to Scotland to go on a cruise out of Leith (late July, early…read moreAugust), but spent a couple of nights with friends who live north of Perth. They took me sightseeing for a couple of days. For lunch we dined here. I ordered the combo of Cullen skink soup and sandwich (coronation chicken (curry flavor)). I didn't notice on the menu a choice of a full sandwich or half sandwich. I ended up with the full sandwich. For me, it was too much food. I could have easily just enjoyed the soup. Everything was delicious!! I loved the creaminess of the soup, the potatoes, and the smoked fish. I hope I can find smoked fish at home to make this soup. The interior is charming; the waitress attentive. A most enjoyable lunch with wonderful friends.

This is a pretty run of the mill cafe where we stopped for a quick bite to eat while in Newburgh…read morerecently. It's attached to a petrol station and there's plenty of parking. Inside, it was pretty busy and we grabbed a seat to look over the menu. It's pretty standard cafe food - breakfast rolls, potatoes, panini. I ended up just getting a roll with bacon and potato scone whereas Graeme got a pulled pork panini. The food didn't take long and prices are very reasonable, and the staff were all friendly. From what we say on the main street, there wasn't a tonne of options in Newburgh so if I was in the area I'd probably stop here again.

No reviews for Harvey McG's...what the hell?…read more We stopped here on the way back from St. Andrews recently. The bistro was smart yet simple. Astoundingly fresh food, superb cheese scones, divine polenta with rocket pesto, tomato, parmesan, and brie. Warm-hearted servers who really care why you're visiting and where you're from, but who also know when to shuffle off and leave you be. A lovely glass of wine, strong finish of coffee, and a lick of my husband's, er.... sinful chocolate bread and butter pudding.

This is a review of the steak restaurant associated with the Balgove Larder…read more If the two establishments are separate, I'll happily amend this review. Tonight is the first night of graduation week in St. Andrews. Families are celebrating their graduates. They are looking for a memorable meal to mark the occasion. Having a negative experience can have the opposite effect. The Steak Barn provided just the underwhelming experience tonight. Fortunately five others in a seven person party enjoyed their food. The worst part of the meal was the flat iron steak. The cut was under done, even when I sent it back. The cut was chewy and tough, not what I expected from 20 gbp steak (~$30). Management needs to step in a control quality and provide more training to their young staff. Maybe they just had a bad night. It happens. Having a bad night on a special occasion is less forgivable.
