French Restaurants in Fife
1. Restaurant Martin Wishart
French restaurant in Edinburgh
54 The Shore - EH6
Not every fine dining restaurant is a “favourite” of those who nominate it, but Martin Wishart’s low key but supremely accomplished HQ, with its “great location by the water of Leith” is one of them. A London-based reporter notes: “for a special occasion, this has been my go-to for some years, with exceptional service and very interesting, beautifully presented food” from a kitchen that’s “one of the finest in the UK”. It’s the absence of flash and the focus on flavour that seems to appeal and a sense of “feeling valued and welcomed”. In the evening there’s a ‘Market Menu’ at a competitive £95 per person, or the six-course tasting menu is £145 per person.
2. The Peat Inn
British, Modern restaurant in Cupar
“The Smeddle Family has consistently turned out very good food served by very knowledgeable and capable waiting staff” (all backed up by a heavyweight wine list) at this famous, upscale inn – sensitively modernised over the years and set “in a tiny village just outside St Andrews”. One reporter gives us the local lowdown: “As it happens the family have just announced that the business is up for sale. (March 2025). They have run it for twenty years and took it to one Michelin Star. Before them the legendary David Wilson ran it for thirty five years. Watch this space for details of the new owner…” [no transaction has yet been announced as of October 2025]
