HAAR
"Exciting contemporary Scottish food on the coast."
Overview
Named after the cold sea fog that hits mainland Britain, HAAR is located just 50 metres from the famous Old Course at St Andrews. This cosy restaurant is a warm and welcoming space with a split-level dining room providing well-spaced tables set with a seaside-inspired nod, from decorative corals to blue tinted water glasses. A passion for Scotland’s outstanding fish and seafood, as well as sustainability, drives the menu here and nothing goes to waste. The innovative dishes on the tasting menus reflect a pronounced local accent alongside global flavour combinations.
Trout ‘pastrami’ appears as cured and diced trout belly with hints of cumin and fennel, followed by barbecued hand-dived Orkney king scallop coated in a yakitori glaze and served with a three-part garnish of onions (puréed, caramelised jam, pickled) and chicken and butter sauce. For mains, pink and tender venison is paired with brown sauce, “bridie” (a small meat pasty), sauerkraut and a ball of creamy, peppery haggis in a cabbage leaf. Round things off with sweet rhubarb tartlet, ginger-flavoured milk ice cream, toasted meringue and candied rhubarb.

About the area
This 20-mile wide peninsula between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Tay is an ancient kingdom, once the home of Scotland’s kings and saints. Despite its modern bridges it still seems curiously detached from the rest of the country
