There's nothing fancy about East Pier Smokehouse, in fact it's quite ridiculously modest in every way other than the food it serves. Somewhat scribbled on a chalkboard outside, the menu is determined by the catches of the day. And don't be surprised when your lobster, or alder-smoked prawn tempura arrives in a cardboard box. Booking is essential for when it opens for the season in April, though we highly recommend wrapping up warm and dining on the roof terrace. Thank us later!

Lobster caught from the East Neuk Coast, and wholly Scottish meat, The Ship Inn is where the locals and tourists flock too alike.  And we can see why. The food is typically British, its warming, and hearty, the views are remarkable, and the vibe is everything you could want from a traditional inn. 

There are countless reasons to why a cold water plunge, or dook, is the best way to start the day. Though you may never become accustomed to the coldness of the north sea, the tidal pools which line the Fife Coastal Path and their impeccable views make this all the more easy. The best way to prepare: with some warm layers, and a freshly brewed tea at the ready!

Indulge in some cumbrae oysters or cured catch of the day surrounded by a carefully curated selection of Scottish artwork. It doesn't get much better than that! The Dory Bistro & Gallery is one of those zero fuss, zero frills haunts which makes you want to become a local, if only just to dine there!
