The Cellar at 24

I hate that this review is as bad as I am giving. My starters were lovely. I was asked if we would like desert just after finishing our starters and was met with confusion when I said I’d like my main meal first. We ordered the roast chicken and the belly pork as mains. Twice the chicken came out and was raw and still no sign of the belly pork (a hour after entering the establishment). The chef was having a bad night but should have been conscientious that all the restaurant could hear him swearing. We were the first customers at 6pm on a Saturday so there was no pressure. The young waitress was under prepared for questions about what was in the menu - it’s not huge! I feel she has been given a bad start in hospitality and hope this does not dissolution her. Having ran a pub for several years I feel justified in my review. We were comped our starters and beer which was appreciated but unfortunately on this occasion not a great experience. I do hope this is a one off. The setting is beautiful and it has a huge act to follow.

Our first time at this restaurant was late last year, and it was amazing — delicious tapas, great quality ingredients, and even the Spanish chef came out to chat with us about food from Spain (which we absolutely love and visit whenever we can). But this time… wow, what a disappointment. What happened to that fantastic tapas menu where everything sounded so good you didn’t know what to order first because you wanted it all? Now it’s no longer a tapas place — the menu is small and kind of boring. We asked the waitress a couple of questions about the dishes, but she didn’t seem to know much — not sure if it was nerves or lack of training. The only things worth mentioning were the croquetas and patatas bravas. Everything else was either greasy or just badly done, nothing like the tasty, fresh dishes we had the first time. On top of that, we found it pretty expensive for what we got. It honestly makes me sad to write this, because the place itself is beautiful, and the village is lovely, but unfortunately, none of us who went for dinner that night feel like coming back.

The menu was fantastic with the right amount of options and tempting plates to suit any preferences. Exceedingly friendly and personable staff.

This is a proper gem. We had a slight issue with service with them accidentally bringing a non GF dish that we hadn’t ordered (when we had allergies in group) but they realised quite quickly and came and apologised. Everything was otherwise absolutely delicious / one of best mead in ages, and the venue is very special. Great for a romantic dinner or a big group.

Great choice of tasty tapas and big dishes. Great for couples but also ideal for larger parties. Sharing is fun!

We tried lots of different restaurants during our trip to the East Neuk and this was our favourite. A gem of a restaurant, 10/10 food, lovely staff and nice atmosphere.

This restaurant is all about style and quality, sporting a menu that reflects the dedication and skills of the Chef. The Cellar is run by a young couple with a vision of providing fine dining to the ara.

We ate at The Cellar 24 on Friday 30th May. 4 of us, my wife & I from Kingsbarns with Brother-in-law & wife from Inverness. From the moment we arrived everything was exceptional. A warm and efficient welcome from all the staff who looked after us throughout the evening. The food was delicious. Dish after dish of mouthwatering food. We felt it was good value considering the high standard of food and service. We cannot wait to return.
