Rockies is a hidden gem, tucked away from the main street of Anstruther, 10mins walk from the front. The views from the restaurant across to the harbour are lovely. The food is as good as anything you'll get in any fancy restaurant, service was friendly and efficient. We really enjoyed our meal and will recommend it to anyone visiting this part of Fife.

This is a ‘must-visit’ restaurant when in Fife. It is no surprise that it has been awarded the Best Restaurant in Fife for 2023. The range of menu options and daily specials will satisfy everyone. See photos for a hint of the food and to see the menu for our visit on 11th August 2023. Great views across the bay to Anstruther and Cellardyke.

Great well presented food at a great price, we opted for the 2 course dinner menu. Fantastic views from the restaurant out over the harbour and the isle of May. Our server Declan was great and very attentive even though he was running the entire restaurant himself.

We came here for dinner and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was outstanding — the mussels were probably the best we’ve ever had, with a divine sauce that we’re still thinking about. All the ingredients were incredibly fresh, especially the fish and seafood. The sticky toffee pudding was to die for! Service was super friendly and top-notch. And to top it all off, there’s a beautiful view of the Bay of Anstruther from the windows. Highly recommended!

We had an absolutely delicious meal here in July, complete with gorgeous views of the sunset over Anstruther and the water. It looked very quiet and potentially closed from outside but don't let that put you off - we enjoyed scallops with black pudding and apple butter, hake with samphire, nduja, new potatoes and hollandaise, and a decadent, rich and moist sticky toffee pudding. The staff were lovely, the location close enough to Anstruther for an easy walk but far enough to have a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere, and the bill extremely reasonable for the quality. We will be back!
