Little Italy
St Andrews?2 Logies Ln, St Andrews
KY16 9NL

Little Italy has all of the character and charm of an authentic, small town Italian restaurant. The interior is small and intimate, with red walls and tall candles placed in old wine bottles at each table, creating a warm, cosy atmosphere. Red and white chequered tablecloths, framed vintage posters, black and white photographs, and a vibrant red and green ceiling add to the authentic Italian feel. This carries over to its menu. Pizzas are served with stretched, crisp bases and piled generously with traditional tomato sauce, mozzarella, and a range of toppings, while the pasta dishes are an explosion of rich sauces, spices and fresh herbs.

BALGOVE LARDER  
Strathtyrum Farm, Strathtyrum,
St Andrews KY16 9SF 
01334 89814

Located on the outskirts of St Andrews in the midst of beautiful, sprawling farmland, Balgove Larder is a butchery, farm shop, café and restaurant all in one. An old, converted barn filled with wooden crates, timber beams and a fire pit, the building exudes a rustic charm, which entirely complements its old-fashioned, rural surroundings. The Balgove Larder?s emphasis is on a farm-to-table approach to food, with all of its produce being locally sourced. The café is open year round and serves delicious breakfasts and a range of light lunches, such as sandwiches and soups, while the Steak Barn restaurant is open between April and October, and offers hearty meals made with meat from its own butchery.

Forgan?s is a St Andrews institution and a favourite among locals, students and tourists alike. The restaurant is housed in an old golf-club factory, and charmingly features crates of produce and fairy lights leading up to the main entrance. Stepping through the doors, visitors are greeted by a stunning interior. Gold thread lanterns hang low from the ceiling, old-fashioned farmhouse tables are paired with contemporary chairs, and roomy private alcoves filled with bookshelves and curiosities line one side of the room, creating the perfect juxtaposition between rustic and an industrial aesthetic. The menu features delicious twists on British classics, such as the duck shepherd?s pie or the haggis served with neeps, tatties and a whisky gravy, and on Friday and Saturday evenings, dinner culminates in a traditional ceilidh with a live band.
