I’ve been waiting eagerly for the Dory Bistro and Gallery to open and it didn’t disappoint! The vegetable empanadas and pan fried hake were very good, and the hot marmalade pudding was excellent. Lovely casual atmosphere, good value, and great local produce! I highly recommend this place for lunch followed by a walk along the coastal footpath.
I had a delicious lunch featuring salt and pepper squid as a starter, bouillebaise as a main and almond and orange cake with a perfect cup of Americano to finish. I would certainly recommend this bistro. The ambience is pleasant, there is good artwork on the walls (for sale) and the menu is varied and fairly priced.
Fantastic place to eat dinner and lunch. There is even a chance to buy artwork inside and it has a lovely atmosphere. I recommend it highly to anyone visiting Pittenweem.
Fantastic dinner. The pigeon was exquisite and both the squid and the ravioli had unique, delicious flavours. Definitely a must for Fife foodies and visitors to the area!
Lovely coffee at BistroDory today. Coffee was enhanced by their wonderful vegan chocolate caramel cake. So good ... I might have to become a vegan!
Lovely Sunday lunch in an amazing harbour location. Friendly service, locally caught fish – and special mention for the rhubarb drizzle cake made with rhubarb grown in the owners' garden.
Fantastic! Fish doesn’t get fresher than this. Lovely relaxed family atmosphere with superb friendly service. Definitely makes up for catching hee haw off Pittenweem harbour.�����������
First visit, staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the food was great 👍
Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and food to savour and linger over.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Dory , a charming seafood restaurant located in the heart of Pittenweem. This was my second visit.
The restaurant's interior was tastefully decorated with local and talented artists. Soft lighting, comfortable seating, and soothing background music set the stage for a delightful dining experience.
The knowledgeable and friendly staff were more than happy to offer recommendations and provide insights into the preparation of each dish on the menu.
Aside from the outstanding food, the service was impeccable. The waitstaff was attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about providing an exceptional dining experience.
Overall, The Dory offers a delightful culinary journey . The charming ambiance, delectable dishes, and attentive service make it an ideal choice for any occasion.
I hope to be back again soon.
We had a fantastic lunch at this delightful bistro. The quality of food was superb, and Ruth and her team dealt brilliantly with the dietary challenges we presented.
One of my sons has food allergies and the chef took the time to provide a menu which clearly identified dishes he could eat and those to avoid. My other son is autistic and struggles with “fancy food”, and gets stressed trying to pick a dish. The bistro made clear they were happy to adapt dishes including from the children’s menu, which made him feel at ease. This was superb customer care, and was backed up by a friendly front of house team.
I would highly recommend the Dory.
What a lovely place to eat, ate from specials menu which was hard to pick from as there was so much choice, fish was so fresh as it was caught that morning by local fishermen, lovely staff would recommend eating here & it was dog friendly
Had dinner for 4 here. Food is brilliant and the staff are all lovely. Portion sizes vary depending on the dish served but it's all really good. Mocktails are very welcome for drivers
Went for dinner, really nice. Lovely paintings all over the wall. The tomatoes in the salad was sooooo good; juicy and sweet. The duck breast appetizer was super tender. Oysters were nice and fresh. The roast beef entree was great too. All fresh ingredients.
Charming restaurant directly at the harbor. Bistro style interior. Nice selection of seafood and fish on the menu. The starters we had were excellent (breaded oysters, Cullen skink). Main was the catch of the day, sea trout, good but maybe slightly generic, dessert was great again. 4 stars because the service was friendly but slow. We had 45 min between finishing starters and getting mains. Have an espresso martini, they are delicious!!
We came here for lunch on a Sunday and it was a very pleasant surprise after somewhere else fell through!
The salt and pepper squid starter was beautiful, and cooked to perfection. There was a light dusting on it, and thankfully not covered in batter. It came with a lovely aioli, that wasn’t overpowering. The oysters were fresh and also came with a tasty dressing. We had Monkfish and classic fish and chips for mains, both of which were delicious, and reasonably priced, particularly the Monkfish (albeit a tad on the small side).
The batter on the fish and chips was light and crispy and the haddock itself was very well cooked. I will definitely be back here again in the future!
Edit: we came back again recently and this time we got the Sunday roast and the Hake. It was just as good (see the photos)
Filled our boots with fantastic food - oysters 3 different ways, mussels, hake thai stew, langoustines, turbot of the day, tasty puds, decent coffee. Friendly and efficient team staff, great art and views.
Wish we lived closer!
Amazing seafood restaurant and art gallery on the harbour. Locally sourced produce with a menu that regularly updates. Great meal out for a date or large table of friends and family.
Good food guide recognised and AA Rosette awarded.
Well worth it !
A fabulous wee place on the harbour. Food was delicious with plenty of choice and a good wine list. A very warm welcome with friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful surroundings too. A must if you are visiting Pittenweem. A good kids menu was available too.
