Kinneuchar Cottage - by Elie, Dog Friendly.

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.

If you love harbourside views, then you'll be delighted by this attractively converted former pub along Fife's famous East Neuk. Most of the tables offer views of the water, while a small terrace is ideal for the summer. As you'd expect in this location, there's some seafood among the high-quality ingredients, which underpin refined, attractively presented dishes which are full of flavour. There's a choice of dishes on the fixed-price lunch menu, with two options for the main course on the dinner tasting menu.

Opposite the harbour in this little fishing village, you'll find a thoroughly charming restaurant where East Neuk produce is cooked with the care it deserves. Seafood dominates both the menu and the décor, with the restaurant walls doubling up as gallery space for plenty of aqua-based art. The blackboard is the place to look for fresh daily specials, like plump and juicy langoustines or hake with seaweed butter sauce. If you’re local to the area, this could quickly become a favourite haunt – you may even go home with some new artwork.
