East Pier - Fife

Excellent food and service a real gem in the St Monans: the smoked sea bass WOW!!! well recommended

After hearing of the reputation and reading the predominantly great reviews we were so excited to eat at the East Pier but the food was so disappointing. The environment was super temperature, music, decoration, service were all cool and spot on. It was very dark, but perhaps they don 't want you to look too closely at the food..? It started well, my husband had the cullen skink which was one of the best he had tasted. I had the Vietnamese kebab which came with a huge pile of white rice, a bare kebab of well cooked cod and salmon, a cardboard tub of nuts and another of sauce. No vegetables whatsoever, the dish was so plain and boring. My husband had the sea bass which was described as whole but separating the fish from the bones was really hard work. It came with chips that looked like any from a bag of 'frozen chips ' and yes, a delicious chutney. What a shame. East Pier have got everything else right but not the food on this occasion

Incredible food in a fantastic restaurant. Lamb, sea bass and haddock. Great service and staff! A perfect evening with friends. Loved it!

This is a quirky place. I think if you are expecting a high end restaurant experience you could be disappointed, this is essentially a sea food shack serving food in paper boxes with some indoor and outdoor seating. It’s very busy, the young staff are great but they work hard for their money and they can’t be everywhere at once hence you have to be prepared to wait a bit for your drinks or to get the bill. The food is without doubt excellent and the simple but creative menu has something for everyone. The tempura prawns are a great starter and the Vietnamese fish kebab is divine. If you are seated outside it can be breezy and cool so wrap up well! There are some negative reviews on here, I think simply because some people just don’t get the concept. No complaints from us, great food, friendly staff and good views!

Delicious food, great location, great atmosphere. We ate there twice in one week!! We had Cullen Skink, Gazpacho, Vietnam fish skewer, mackerel fillets all delicious.
