The Peat Inn

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

££££

Geoffrey and Katherine Smeddle have run this restaurant since 2006, but the history of this whitewashed inn extends back to the 18C. Geoffrey is an experienced and knowledgeable chef who has built up a close web of suppliers which, in conjunction with the seasons, virtually writes the menu. Expect to find ingredients like East Neuk crab, Black Isle lamb and Easter Grangemuir Farm strawberries. All of these are put to great use in vibrant, flavoursome dishes. Stylish, split-level bedrooms are available too, with breakfast served in your room.

Kinneuchar Inn

Modern British

£££

The maxim ‘less is more’ is rarely so well applied as it is here. East Neuk’s bounteous local larder is showcased on a menu that changes up to twice a day; fresh fish is a highlight, and the specials are just that. This charming 17C village pub has a modish feel – sit in the cosy bar or vaulted dining room.
