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!

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!

Put your tasting menus and fine dining aside and behold Britain's national dish, fish and chips. Though admittingly you can find such chippy's in every town or city, Anstruther Fish Bar is one of a kind. Have it the traditional way: haddock and chips, some vinegar and salt, served with a load of mushy peas and white bread (for the chip butty of course)!

On the second weekend of each month, Bowhouse comes alive with an abundance of market stalls, each offering seasonal and local produce. Grab some artisan bread, cheese, and chutneys and enjoy a gourmet picnic on one of the outdoor benches when the weather is fine.
