Editor's Pick
We are a bistro-restaurant serving affordable food with a lot of the local Fife and Angus food treasures on the menu. Lobsters and langoustines landed less than 40 metres from our front door in the harbour, fish from St Monans and Pittenweem, vegetables and salads from our own kitchen garden and a market garden in St Monans and meat and game from nearby farms and estates. The walls of the restaurant and gallery are decorated with co-owner Malcolm Cheape's paintings, as well as other well known artists. We have a range of paintings, prints, and ceramics for viewing and for sale.

What a lovely family meal we had. Loved the bright and airy decor and easy ambiance. Food was excellent, and we had lobster, oysters, crab bisque, all of which transported us to great meals we'd enjoyed in the past, bringing back lovely memories. Thoroughly recommend The Dory.

We had a booking for a Sunday night and the experience was top notch! Great service! Faye and the team welcomed us like family. Lobster and the Sunday roast were specials and loved it.
We had such a great time we booked for the next night. Usually closed on Monday but they had a special menu for open golf week! It even better. Tempura monkfish was perfect! Don’t miss this restaurant!

The lunch was very enjoyable . We only had one course but that was because we're not big eaters. I had the summer vegetable risotto and it was delicious. I think the best risotto I've ever had and also one of the best main courses I've eaten.
