1. Room with a View

Room with A View, Seafood Restaurant situated within the Forth View Hotel in the coastal village Aberdour, Fife. Enjoy succulent scallops, wholesome halibut & Fresh Langoustines and many more delicious seasonal seafood dishes cooked to exquisite perfection. Whilst also enjoying the small but special menu you can enjoy the spectacular views of Edinburgh and the river Forth whilst listening to local Classical Guitar player Nick Rees on the sound system (who also plays live on occasion). Every seat offers a view of Edinburgh or Aberdour Harbour or climbers on the Hawkcraig Cliffs. On a sunny day it is nice to enjoy a pre-dinner drink in the garden area or eat Al fresco

Often great views from a restaurant equates to overpriced, poor quality food. This definitely is NOT the case with Room with a View. Location is spectacular with panoramic vistas looking over the bay to Aberdour, the Forth Rail Bridge and stretching over to Arthur’s Seat and beyond in Edinburgh.
The restaurant itself is small, only 8 or so tables tucked into a little dining room simply but neatly decorated in the Forth View Hotel. The building is down a steep track from the Silver Sands car park, either walk (no heals/posh shoes) or take the restaurant up on the offer of a lift.
The menu is small and well thought out, not too fancy but still with some innovation. Service was attentive without being overbearing.
Food, primarily seafood as you’d expect, was very well prepared and presented. Tasting plates are on offer for starters and desserts which offer a good chance to try a variety of dishes. Mains were also very well prepared with some interesting flavours and texture combos.
The wine list looks interesting, although unfortunately we didn’t have a chance to try many of them out.
We had lunch for three people - 3 courses with a glass of wine each all for just over £100 - very good value for money too.
Highly recommended.
2. Samphire Seafood Bar & Grill at Orocco Pier

Orocco Pier on the High street of South Queensferry consists of the Antigo cafe bar and the Samphire sea food and char-grilled steaks restaurant. Both places open almost all day are nicely and modern decorated offering stunning views to the Bridges through their glass lined back walls. Having been many times to the Antigo for breakfast, snacks and drinks, for a special birthday night we booked a table for 8 at the Samphire next door. After a couple of drinks at the bar we were shown to our huge round table with the astonishing views to the rail bridge. The menu is quite small making the choices easy and the wine list covers all different tastes of wine. The food was freshly cooked, very tasty and excellent presented in posh big plates. Highly recommended the warm black pudding with smoked pancetta and baby new potato salad starter, the chicken and duck main courses, the pan seared scallops served with caramelised apples and their steaks. Desserts are out of this world too. The service was nice, friendly and attentive by a young waitress, although was her first night on duty. It was an unforgettable night. The only fault I would say is that the music is not combined with the posh style of the restaurant.

Khushi's was the first Indian restaurant opened in Scotland in 1947.
Reviewed By Jeanette S - Dunfermline, United Kingdom
Was so looking forward to going when friends said how great it was, so we were quite dissappointed when we went for lunch during the week. Wasn't a lot on offer and there was only a couple of veggie options. Didn't know that it wasn't licensed either. Took the bus so we could have a couple of drinks. Sorry but we won't be back.
4. The Wee Restaurant

We had our St Valentine's Day lunch here, our third visit to what is now our favourite restaurant and it was a good as ever.
The three course set lunch was a very reasonable £20 plus wine and offered amongst other things French onion soup, grilled chicken supreme on a bed of truffle flavoured risotto and cheese or sticky toffee pudding, all of which were absolutely delicious. I forgot to mention the home baked sourdough bread and butter with home made tapenade, but that too was excellent. The tapenade is also available as a take away in a small kilner jar and well worth the £5.
An excellent, friendly little restaurant where you are guaranteed satisfaction every time. Parking can be a bit problematic in the height of summer although there is a large car park under the rail bridge a few hundred yards away.
Highly recommended!

Have used this restaurant many time for lunch with foreign business partners, as the location is right beneath the Forth Bridge and the views are we fabulous. The bistro is great for both adults and kids and I especially like eating in the galleries upstairs, which also serves as an exhibition area and is detailed with a complete history of the bridge's construction. Food is always good as is service and staff very good - get in early, as it can be very busy, especially in the busy tourist months - definitely recommended.

Firstly, I only write TA reviews if the food had been either really poor or really good. On this occasion very good. We had the fillet and the sirloin and both were very tasty and flavourosme. The highlight for me was the homemade Tirimasu which was the best I've ever tasted, and I've been to Italy and had homemade Tirimasu there too but this surpassed it by far. Great service aswell. My new favourite place when I'm in Dunfermline.

We take our granddaughter here for lunch after school. The welcome is great and the owner is superb with children. There is a special offer on the menu for children which ticks all the boxes. We get good food too. The soup,panini,sandwiches are all good with lots of fillings to choose from. You can sit and watch all the fresh food being prepared. There is carry out too.

Classic cocktails and martinis, international beers and a fine range of wines and malts.Fabulous fresh produce, carefully prepared, simply cooked and beautifully presented. The Grill Is not just a hotel restaurant.This is a real treat.
Reviewed By Andy G
We stayed here for the night. The hotel rooms, reception and bar are lovely. Very cosy, inviting and relaxed. The staff were attentive and pleasant. The food was good but not exceptional, slight in the expensive side compared to the portions you got. It's probably one of, if not, the best restaurant around there but not a patch on some of the ones 4 miles away in Edinburgh. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay but feel next time we will find somewhere else to eat.

If you find yourself in Inverkeithing, pop into the Cadora Cafe. They are friendly and the food is good. You can also sit in and have your food in a lovely cafe which harps back to a bygone age of formica table and lovely service.
