Cellar in Fife

Birthday treat from Suzanne The tasting menu with the wine pairing package made the evening one that will never be forgotten Each course of locally sourced ingredients was brought to the table and fully explained, the team happy to discuss every part of the food story The wine pairing was an eye opener for me as a non wine drinker, a real education The atmosphere in the restaurant was perfect for a special night Highly recommended

So sorry to hear that its time to say goodbye to the Cellar, its become a firm favourite with us and always a fantastic night. A big thank you to Billy, Michael and the team for giving us some very memorable nights, this was a very special wee place. We wish them well in their next ventures, good luck all.

If I could give everything additional stars ,I certainly would. An unbelievable experience from start to finish. Professionalism of all was amazing , front of house knowledge and delivery, simply outstanding.

One of the best restaurants anywhere! We were here for our anniversary lunch and received such a warm and friendly welcome with great service, the 5/6 course tasting menu is absolutely sublime - not a single fault in any of the dishes, beautifully presented……each plate a little work of art! The wine pairing was also excellent and complimented each course perfectly. Thanks to The Cellar for a wonderful afternoon, we will be returning and also highly recommend for stunning food, wine and service.

What an extra special tasting menu. The outstanding food was match by the excellent service. With a real emphasis on local produce showcasing all that is best from Fife. This was a standout experience.

Wonderful friendly service and attention from the moment we walked in. The dining room and ambience are warm and welcoming. The food and matched wine were all excellent. The staff were attentive, the crockery amazing. Worthy of its Michelin Star.

It’s not just a meal. It’s an experience. Fabulous food in beautiful surroundings. The wait staff, Emily & Michael, were warm and welcome and added to the evening. Would highly recommend.

2nd time we’ve visited here - wanted to see if it was as good a second time as it was the first - it really didn’t disappoint. Great service, great food and superb wine pairings - nearly everything about this restaurant is perfection and very glad we decided to revisit - and we will again.

The best meal we have ever had in our life. The service was impeccable and they helped us celebrate our anniversary in style. Can't wait to go back. Small and intimate setting and very welcoming, which lends well to celebrating special occasions. Thanks again to everyone at The Cellar for a memorable evening.

My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch at the Cellar. Everything was perfect, our food was exquisite, beautifully presented and totally delicious. Our experience was nearly derailed when my journey was delayed. I arrived late and stressed! The staff couldn’t have been kinder, the service was excellent and I soon relaxed and enjoyed our meal. We decided to go for the wine pairings which I would highly recommend. If you have the opportunity to dine here, do not hesitate to make a reservation you won’t regret it.

An outstanding dining experience. The food was beautiful, meticulously prepared - and explained by the superb waiting team, Emily and Chloe. We enjoyed a tasting menu which provided a huge variety of flavours prepared from high quality, local produce. An intimate but unstuffy environment which complements the character of the building. If you’re looking for someplace special, this is it.

We had the lunch tasting menu. The food was fabulous - stunning presentation and so delicious with amazing flavours. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. We notified the restaurant at the time of booking that I am Coeliac and therefore gluten free. From having the perfectly modified gluten free menu placed on the table for our arrival, through the amazing Wild Hearth GF bread (even wrapped delicious leftovers to takeaway) to stunning the GF modifications this was a perfect lunch.

We have been lucky to experience all but two of Scotland’s starred restaurants and this little gem is one of the best. Michael and Emily - front of house are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and so welcoming. The food was exquisite and probably the best ‘rounded’ and full menu we have tasted in a starred restaurant, there was literally no ‘poorer dishes’ . The paired wines were inspired- fabulous choices. Overall the service, food and ambiance was superb and I can’t recommend enough - most definitely worth a visit and we will certainly be back.

This was our first visit to the Cellar and I must say from the outset, all of my expectations were exceeded during our time there. The setting was tasteful, relaxing and premium in every aspect. The staff were welcoming and made our meal a true "experience". Ingredients and techniques were explained to us with passion and even though I am not a "foodie", I found this fascinating. This food itself is unmatched and a massive compliment to the chef and kitchen staff. To anyone wishing to have the ultimate culinary experience at an intimate venue, I cannot recommend 'The Cellar' highly enough.

Took my parents here during our short stay in Fife. If you can make it, definitely book a table. Incredible meal with lovely staff in a very peaceful, chic setting. 2 hours of dining perfection. Will come again when next in tbe area.

If you want to experience a master class of exceptional food served by friendly, knowledgeable staff in a stunning yet relaxed restaurant then go to The Cellar. You will have to save up your pennies but it truly is an experience of a lifetime.

Having booked here weeks ago and expecting to dine on Saturday 19th August, I was informed today by telephone that the Cellar cannot accommodate my dietary needs as a Type I diabetic in any way and I would therefore have to cancel my booking. They also don’t “cater” for vegetarians, dairy intolerance or anything else they presumably view as faddish, although their reasoning was dressed up as the limitation of a small staff. So, if you have specific dietary needs and don’t want to be excluded from fine dining, I would recommend Peat Inn where previous requests have been met with great enthusiasm, consideration and, presumably, a larger catering team with a more flexible chef.

This restaurant is a true gem. The Michelin standard is upheld impeccably. The staff are passionate and create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Emily was particularly friendly and insightful! The menu is thoughtfully created and plated. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough, it is a must visit!! Particular culinary highlights were the melt-in-the-mouth ox tongue and the North Sea halibut dish. Not one element was disappointing. Portion sizes were perfect - we left satisfied but not over-full and cannot wait to visit again soon!

Simply amazing. Chef / owner Billy Boyter served up pure heaven with a dinner that was as good as I have tasted, anywhere. The full team was welcoming, thoughtful and engaging. Product knowledge and front of house was exceptional. Have nothing but positive inputs about this Michelin star restaurant, it was the perfect evening for my wife’s 50th.

Absolutely loved this hidden gem 🥰 The staff, food and ambience was beyond anything I expected … from the entrance to the encore dessert this experience was full of history, culture and class 🤩 I’ll be coming back again and again for sure 😎🙏

What a fabulous place. First time we have been and certainly won’t be the last. We advised the restaurant on arrival that our daughter had a dairy intolerance, and the help and support they gave was amazing. Service was fab, and each course was truly amazing. What a find.

The food was exquisite, and the staff were extremely knowledgeable and really friendly. Lovely atmosphere and an absolute must visit. Will definitely be returning.

We took the ferry over from North Berwick and went for lunch with the matching wine pairings. Everything was fantastic, from the friendly staff, excellent food to the setting. My seafood allergy was dealt with efficiently and with thought to the substitutes and I also got my version of the menu to take home. Highly recommend and we look forward to going back.

Inventive and delicious food and faultless service what a treat and would thoroughly recommend. The wine pairing complemented the Michelin star food perfectly and definitely worth trying. The staff were very knowledgeable and brought a relaxed and personal service to a special meal.

One of our finest restaurant experiences EVER! Cozy setting, as if dining in a private family home. Food was exquisite.....as were the paired wines. Michael and Emily did a superb of table service. A better dining experience is difficult to imagine! BRAVO & a sincere THANK YOU to all involved!

We just had our lunch in the "Cellar". Fantastic experience. Everything was amazing. The food was delicious, service polite, attentive and fun and the atmosphere smooth with a lovely music background. Worth every penny!!!!

It's the best restaurant in Scotland for a reason.

First time here since before Covid lockdown, think July 2020….Lucky enough to get a Table when across the water at the Scottish Open. Better than I remember. Stunning wee entrance fabulous decor. Lovely menu with fantastic local food. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Great food and Great value!!!

Great combination of flavours in every dish on their 8 course taster menu - lovely relaxed unassuming ambience and excellent service from a small but attentive team - service at this high level does recognition

A simply excellent meal as a belated anniversary present. Staff were exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable and willing to chat when time allowed. The wine pairing was really enjoyable and every glass was supported by a great deal of detail about the winemakers and the wine itself....

Wonderful food, good wines and excellent service. We can see why they have a Michelin star and our experience would have justified another. Great imagination and juxtaposition of tastes.

This is a place you go to celebrate smells, tastes, and sights with the people you care about. These talented people have put together a wonderful team and brought tastes together to surprise, delight and make you smile. We had the dinner tasting menu and included the wine pairings and had a great experience. You only live once.

Cannot fault it. Food excellent, service excellent. Good ambiance. Comfortable dining experience. Tasting menu varied & yes - tasty. Will visit again. Ps very nice wine.

Semsational food and wine pairing, matched with very knowledgeable and friendly service. Really is a must do! This is an absolute gem in the East Neuk of Fife.

This place is just a gem ♥️. We went for the lunch menu and it was just out of this world. Beautiful place and the nicest of staff. Well done team Cellar, we will be back with friends next time.

We were welcomed by Emily and Michael like we were visiting relations. They were genuinely interested in us and what we had been doing. We elected for the flight of wines to go with the tasting menu. Both the food and the wine was described...

The Cellar richly deserves it's Michelin star. The food, service and atmosphere was incredible. Highly recommend!

Incredible food, flawless service, super playlist and ambiance was on point Thank you to all the team at The Cellar. The attention to detail throughout our tasting menu was perfect. Every course was amazing and brought a smile to our faces, and every small facet of the experience has been thought out. Thank you for an incredible meal, thank you for an incredible and effortless service, and thank you making us feel like the only diners for the whole evening. We appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to the craft. Such fine dining does not come without years of dedication and this shone through. We live far away, but we will be back! 😊

Excellent food and lovely atmosphere. Very friendly and knowledgable staff. My husband and I thouroughly enjoyed the evening tasting menu and would highly recommend it.

The Cellar is nothing short of magnificent. Chef/owner Billy is one of the most innovative and talented chefs in the UK right now coupled with the intimate dining environment this really is a not to miss dinning experience. Treat yourself to the tasting menu to truly experience something wonderful along with quite a brilliant wine pairing.

Worth travelling from Australia to visit this outstanding restaurant in the beautiful fishing village of Anstruther. The quality of the food, the friendly, professional service and the excellently executed dishes make for a restaurant that well deserves its Michelin star.

Excellent location, excellent service, knowledge and friendly team and the food was amazing! If you are looking for a dining experience that is something a bit special then I would highly recommend.

Everything was superb. Every course was exquisite, the wine pairing was faultless and the service was impeccable. Michael, in particular went above and beyond by offering to drive my elderly parents across town when no taxi would pick up such a short fare. Absolutely brilliant...

Absolutely fantastic experience. Atmosphere was lovely. Staff were extremely attentive, and knowledge. The food was impeccable. Everything was amazing. I can't wait to try it again.

An outstanding meal in truly lovely surroundings. Having been to a number of similar standard places, this was one of the best meals we have had for a very long time. Each course was beautifully presented, carefully explained and had been crafted with locally sourced...

Visited The Cellar for a birthday dinner. The evening was flawless. Our dietary requirements were accommodated. We paired with the wine tasting as well. Cannot recommend this Restaurant highly enough. Thank you Michael, Emily and the whole Cellar family for an unforgettable night. We will...

Wonderful evening at The Cellar. This small, charming restaurant has loads of atmosphere. There was a great welcome and excellent service from Michael and his team. The food was delicious and every course was beautifully presented and with great flavour. My own favourites were the...

We booked a table for lunch to celebrate our son’s 13th birthday. From the off, the staff went out of their way to make the experience special, they were very attentive and explained the dishes in great detail. The food was exceptional, with great care...

Front of house staff were different class, from beautiful smiles to bring very informative

Highly recommended. Totally professional yet informal. Wonderful food, very inventive, great flavours. Lovely room at night. Friendly people.

Amazing, one of, if not the best place I've eaten. Highly recommended, delicious food and great service.

My husband and I went to the Cellar for the pairing lunch the food was exceptional and the staff gave a first class service we would highly recommend a visit there.

Well @the_cellar_anstruther @billy_boyter you’ve amazed us again on our 2nd visit 😍 not just culinary skill but so artistic too. No photos (except menu) as you really need to visit folks to experience it, we also had the paired wines which were a superb accompaniment...

dined here on a Sat in Feb after a last minute decision to travel.We are so glad we did as this was an experience to remember.We had visited previously pre-covid but the standards seemed so much higher on this occasion.Everything was perfect from the moment...

Seven course tasting menu was outstanding Excellent service A unique restaurant experience

An exceptional restaurant with superb food, accompanying wines & warm, welcoming first class service from the knowledgable FOH team led by Michael. Honestly, the food prepared by the Chef & his kitchen team was superb. Every course was a delight to the taste buds, beautifully...

absolutely the best restaurant in Scotland, i have eating at fairlies, Gleneagles and the cellar is far superior on food and i really loved the relaxed , knowledgeable service

Had the good fortune to visit this wonderful restaurant yesterday for the tasting lunch coupled with the accompanying wine selection. Food was absolutely delicious and sufficient to ensure you did not leave hungry, accompanying wines worked a treat with the various food flavours. Staff were...

Absolutely delicious, cooking of the highest order. Great, relaxed atmosphere.

Absolutely stunning five course meal in lovely informal surroundings. The Cellar offers a tasting menu only. We went for lunch and also had the paired wines. Not cheap by any means but worth every penny. The food was perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and the sauces...

We had read many a good review for cellar and had booked as a special birthday treat for my partner and I. The setting interiors were just lovely and the food was simply spectacular. The staff were very attentive and offered plenty of background information...

Third time for lunch at The Cellar and once again it was a real treat. 5 stars all round for the amazing food, front of house service and all round experience. Can't wait to arrange our next visit.

Very nice atmosphere great food and knowledgeable stuff

We enjoyed our meal here, although there are a couple suggestions I would make. We ate a 10 course tasting menu on Skye (Edinbane Lodge - highly recommend!) that was timed so impeccably that we felt the Cellar's timing left a lot to be desired. We were there over three hours - and not because we wanted to be - we spent a lot of time actively wondering where the staff had gone, when our next course would arrive (they seemed to get slower and slower), and waiting around even after asking for our check. We were the last people there at that point so I don't think we should have been waiting. Unfortunately that put a damper on the evening because we were kind of just ready to relax at our hotel at that point. The other thing I was really looking forward to here is the atmosphere - they make a lot of comments that led me to believe it would be casual and warm and welcoming, and while the servers were very friendly, the chef never appeared, and there was a big screen set up between the kitchen and the dining room. Maybe that's just a matter of preference.

Having visited the Cellar earlier in the year after being really impressed with everything about his fantastic wee restaurant, we rebooked. Not often you can say it, but this was even better than the first visit, the menu had some really delicious new courses and...

Absolutely outstanding. Well deserving of the Michelin Star. We had the sample dinner menu with wine pairing on Saturday 12th Nov, a perfect experience. The locale, the amazing staff and the exquisite food made this an occasion we will never forget. Thanks to all involved,...

All round outstanding! Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere, impeccable service and exceptional food at the highest standard! Incredible experience all round, will return time and time again to experience food at it highest of standards using local ingredients at there seasonal best! Genuinely can't speak highly enough of the whole experience!

Simply perfection, there is nothing I would change about the entire dining experience, will keep returning for years to come, the food is divine and a sensory experience, the chef is an artist and is a master of his craft, the atmosphere is cosy and comfortable complemented by carefully considered decor and a beautiful selection of utensils and cuttlery with each dish, the service is impeccable, it's a delight and a most enjoyable experience, cannot recommend highly enough, worth every penny.

Gorgeous five course tasting menu with matching wine package. Excellent front of house team, who worked very hard to make the experience memorable. Highly recommended.

Fantastic lunchtime tasting menu with matched wine package. Terrific service from the front of house team. Highly recommended.

Excellent fine dining. 5 stars for food, atmosphere & service, 4 stars for value for money.

I had been given a voucher for lunch from the family from last year Poked for today The restaurant is discreet cosy clean and comfortable Nice background music too It was a tasting menu which was marvellous Smoked haddock pears salted caramel aged beef turnip...

A truly special dinner. Fantastic service from both front of house staff. Local langoustine course was amazing. Expensive but very much worth the visit. Will definitely return.

The food at the Cellar is absolutely outstanding. Texture, locally sourced, contrast between courses, - it’s all there. Their willingness to keep an old favorite (ox tongue) is a nod to customers, not stars for originality. Yet, originality you’ll find in every single bite. Wine...

Visited The Cellar restaurant yesterday for lunch and it was absolutely first class, from the welcome from Michael and Neve to the amazing food beautifully presented and totally delicious. Thank you for the amazing experience it completed our fantastic holiday in Anstruther.

That was very pleasant experience. We received an amazing service and the food is hard to compare with anything else I have tried. Highly recommended.

We had left it too late to book dinner during our stay in the East Neuk but the lunch tasting menu with matched wines was a real treat. Every dish was interesting, from the starter mini doughnut, ox with parmesan foam nestled under what looks...

From start to finish , this was dining Heaven. Staff where incredible, knew how everything was cooked and great pointers on how to eat everything . I cant believe I have never been before .... Utterly sublime and the best food I have ever tasted

Took my husband here for dinner to celebrate his birthday. The food was excellent, tasted divine and well presented. The wine pairing very good. The staff were very welcoming, great service.

We had been looking forward to a special fine dining experience and we can honestly say that we were not disappointed. I would go as far to say that our visit will be unforgettable. The whole afternoon was very special and enjoyable. We were pleasantly...

The Cellar serve a set menu so we enjoyed food that we might not otherwise have chosen. It was all so wonderful and the wine flight to go with it just made it that extra bit special. Not cheap but you know this when booking...

Only the service was better than the food and perfect wine pairings.. not sure if I've enjoyed many more meals than this over the years

Had a wonderful tasting menu lunch today. The food was delicious, and the attention to the smallest detail on the plate astonishing. Presentation was a work of art - from the food on the plates, to the plates themselves and even the cutlery. The staff...

Amazing food, fabulous service, great atmosphere. From start to finish this was a wonderful experience that I could not fault.

Great experience, venue, staff and most importantly the food. Will be back

Worth its Michelin star. Very good service. We went at lunchtime which, while not cheap, is actually very good value

Really enjoyed the whole experience. Beautiful atmospheric restaurant, great staff and wonderful food of course. The staff were amazing, thank you for your wonderful hospitality. Keep up the good work!

Another outstanding meal at this wonderful restaurant. I won't describe any of the dishes - the details of the tasting menu are on each table but we chose not to look and enjoyed the surprise as each dish was placed in front of us. Suffice...

An absolute gem of a restaurant! Had a couple of dietary requirements which were catered for amazingly. We were hard pushed to settle on a favourite course as each was excellent. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. Wine package started with an excellent cremant! Booked...

Wonderful. The food the service everything about it is just superb

A fantastic experience from start to finish, well worth the trip and an overnight stay to sample some of the most amazing flavours and plates in a really delightful setting. Service is great and both Michael and Neave look after you well, its a small,...

Just completed 17 days around Scotland & have eaten good food throughout many establishments but the Cellar gets our award for the best in the trip. We went for the accompanying wine flute & every dish was a “wow” . Amazing to think there is...

From the moment we were greeted by Michael, the whole evening was nothing short of delightful. The ambience, the quality of food, and the attention to detail of the service. Truly, truly outstanding. You are so deserving of your Michelin star. We shall definitely return...

Came down from Inverness for my birthday dinner. My OH always chooses a special restaurant for my birthday. Spectacular meal......the hosting was pretty special too. Very friendly service and they certainly knew the dishes inside out. Every course was brilliant. Flavours exquisite and beautifully presented. The 7 course tasting menu is all that is offered but when it's as good as it is you certainly don't need any other choice. Will certainly be back as the whole area is stunning.

The location, the ambience, the staff, just superb. And then again...the meal! Just wow!! As each dish on the tasting menu came i just looked and marvelled at the skill and technique that was apparent in the kitchen, then to taste...just wow! I can't find...

Such an amazing place, the food is amazing, the staff are fantastic, very attentive and knowledgeable, they really ensure that the skills and the passion of the chefs are passed on to the diner to ensure they can really appreciate the food. The atmosphere is amazing. This is a dining experience not a meal out

We were disappointed not to see Patricia,who is on maternity leave, but her replacement Michael is a great asset and welcomed us with friendly courtesy. Every part of the meal was a delight, the monkfish being a highlight as we both love fish. The artistry...

Excellent food and great service

Having enjoyed a wonderful vegetarian tasting menu at The Cellar over a number of years, I was dismayed to find out recently when intending to book another visit that they have for the time-being discontinued their vegetarian menu. At a time when vegan and vegetarian...

Wonderful food - some of it inspiring. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Overall a great experience I have one very small niggle. Some of the courses are so……. small, only perhaps two bites, and I know they are intended as appetisers but…… it leaves one desperate to...
