Directly across from the harbour, this wonderful Pittenweem restaurant specialises in the most incredible seafood dishes. The menu at the Dory Bistro is packed with local ingredients and based around the days catch. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a slightly more formal dining option, though the atmosphere inside the Dory Bistro is very relaxed.

Find the Clock Tower Cafe on the high street, a row behind Pittenweem harbour. This casual Pittenweem restaurant is the perfect spot for brunch or lunch. The Clock Tower Cafe serves up excellent brunch options, like cooked breakfasts, pancake stacks, and poached eggs on toast. If you’re visiting later in the day you might find the lunch menu is a little more limited, but options like bruschetta also delicious.
3. Cocoa Tree Cafe
Best for: a light lunch and sweet treats
Location: 9 High St, Pittenweem, KY10 2LA
If you’re looking for a relaxed lunch followed by sweet treats, the Cocoa Tree Cafe is a must. This little Pittenweem restaurant has a small but lovely lunch menu of toasted focaccia rolls with delicious fillings like pesto or humous.
But the real delight at the Cocoa Tree Cafe is the speciality hot chocolate. It’s utterly delicious! The clue is in the name and chocolate is a big deal here, even in the mouth-watering cake selection like chocolate brownies and waffles smothered in Belgian chocolate.
4. West End Bar
Best for: classic British pub grub
Location: 30-32 South Loan, Pittenweem, KY10 2QB
The West End Bar is Pittenweem’s village pub and it serves up a classic pub grub menu. Expect crowd-pleasing favourites like burgers or scampi, alongside specials such as haddock fillet baked with lemon and the very delicious steak frites. The West End Bar is also the perfect place to experience the local speciality - beer battered fish and fluffy chips.
Inside is a wonderfully cosy space. But if you’re lucky to visit Pittenweem on a sunny day choose the south-facing beer garden for food or a G&T.
