A
Doll’s House
With its high-backed chairs, bright colours and creaky wooden floor, the Doll’s House blends a Victorian child’s bedroom with modern stylings. The result is a surprising warmth and no pretensions. The menu makes the most of local fish and other Scottish produce, and the two-course lunch for £6.95 is unbeatable value. The early-evening two-course deal for £12.95 isn’t bad either.

A happy, buzzy spot with comfy couches, works of art on the wall and a well-developed menu that encompasses some delicious fusion cooking. Lunchtime sandwiches come with interesting fillings, such as hummus and red pepper. Dinner gets more sophisticated, featuring dishes such as seared tuna steak on sultana-and-nutmeg couscous with smoked-tomato dressing.

Zizzi
Beloved of local students, this Italian eatery has atmosphere without the tack. Rather than Mona Lisas, moribund love songs and phallic pepper grinders, it’s got contemporary decor, an open kitchen, a chatty buzz and fast service. The food won’t wow but it will satisfy.

Andrew Keracher
St Andrews has a great range of eating options. Places compete heavily on price for the student custom, so there are good deals to be had everywhere. A great option for self-catering or picnic fare is the fine fishmonger Andrew Keracher.

Ziggy’s
This small, darkened restaurant has an offbeat recording-studio theme. There’s an open kitchen and a menu that does a bit of everything, including pizza, burgers, a range of steaks, and Mexican, seafood and veggie dishes. Good kids menu.
