Craig Millar @ 16 West End

Very nice restaurant in the picturesque village of St Monans. Weather permitting you can sit outside, so you can bring your dog. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed inside. Excellent service. Food is great, a bit bigger portions would be nice. Advance booking is a must.

I was lucky enough to have been given a voucher for the restaurant, without it, I'm not sure we would have gone. But, we are so glad we did. What a fabulous meal, every dish was delicious. From the Beetroot panacotta to the Chocolate tart with vanilla ice-cream and the Raspberry cheesecake with sorbet, via the cured sea trout, the twice baked cheese soufflé (wow!) the duck breast and the halibut. Everything was exquisite. The service was excellent, friendly, attentive and professional. Then to get a table by the window looking out over the harbour.... Loved it all

We were here for a 40th birthday. The food was fantastic! Lovely views out to the sea and the service was impeccable. Went for a drink afterwards in the little bar, very nice place to chat. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. I would definitely come back for a special occasion.

Refined and delicious food served beautifully with excellent and reasonable wine selection by the glass. Could not hope for more! The soufflé was particularly amazing and the duck perfect

My mother's favourite restaurant. As good as ever. Service cordial, unrushed and convivial. Food is just sublime, beautifully presented and bursting with flavour on every forkful. It's a joy to come back to Scotland for. Highly recommended.

Fabulous meal, and outstanding setting, with beautiful views of the harbour and sea. Just heavenly. Loved, loved, loved it.

Food is just wonderful, and the knowledge and service matches. Well worth booking in!!!

Food delicious. Service very pleasant. Restaurant wasn't particularly busy but that could have been the time of year (January 2024) which affected the overall atmosphere. The music playing would stop for adverts - this really lessened the overall experience and should be reviewed. Duck dish, cheese soufflé and bramble parfait were a highlight. Would return if I was in the local area again.

One of East Neuk's finest, and most hidden away, restaurants. Tucked away in St Monans is Craig Millar @16 West End, and it really is an excellent addition to the area. It is perched up on the hillside giving you a superb view over the sea. Having stayed in the area for many years, it surprisingly took us a while to visit this restaurant, and we were so glad that we tried it. When we visit St Monans again, we will be sure to come back.

Food was good. Service was adequate (friendly and casual). The prices are outrageously high for the value, ambiance etc. In addition there is a terrible sulfur smell in this part of town- it's either the water used for gardening or the sewer system but regardless it's truly revolting. Having drinks on the porch while waiting to be seated is very unpleasant. Lastly, two members of our party were unable to attend due to an accident and subsequent hospitalization. The reservation was in one of their names and they didn't call the restaurant from the US to let them know so instead of a party of six it was a party of four. I get that this causes an issue for the restaurant but the 100 pound late cancellation fee I was charged (surprised too because it was not mentioned until the bill arrived) seems truly excessive and frankly punitive.

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem, and was by far our best meal in Scotland. After being rather brusquely turned away from a popular seafood restaurant in St. Andrews, we asked the concierge at the Old Course Hotel for a recommendation. When he learned we had a car, he recommended Craig Millar. About 1/2 an hour away from St. Andrews on a loopy road we made it to St. Monans where GPS took us to the hidden front door, barely distinguishable from the other residences on the street. There is another entry on the water side where there is also parking. Inside was a bar and beautiful dining area with gorgeous views of the water. The menu consisted of two tasting menus, land or sea, which could be ordered as listed, mixed, or a la carte. Additionally, there was the choice of four or five courses. The food was delicious, the portions were just right, and the presentation of each dish was beautiful. The waitstaff is young yet knowledgeable, friendly, and provided great service. There is a very good wine list, and a full bar is also available. Be sure to take some beautiful pictures from their porch or have an after dinner drink out there if it's not too cold!
