East Neuk Hotel, Crail

REALLY friendly. The landlord has the gift of making every guest feel they are the number 1 most important person. Dogs abound! Evening food. Salmon with lemon couscous and venison casserole both highly recommended!

Cambo House Café

Beautifully restored stable courtyard on a totally dog-friendly country house estate. Lovely old walled garden which supplies many of the café ingredients. First class beach a short walk through the woods.

Pillars of Hercules, Falkland

Thriving and popular organic and whole food shop and café. Lots of walking and cycling options on the doorstep. No dogs inside, but the orchard is a beautiful spot to sit with your pooch on a sunny afternoon.

Ploughman’s – irresistible!

Cafe @ Number 16, Aberdour

Delightful coffee shop with good lunch menu. Very dog and child friendly – lots of children’s toys available. Easy walking distance from Black Sands and the play park. Closed Monday Tuesday.

Update November 2020: The Café have done a great job of refurbishing during lockdown. Quirky idea to mount spare chairs at ceiling level and plants used imaginatively as dividers. As dog-friendly as ever!

The Pavilion, Elie

Dogs not allowed inside here, but there is a sheltered, covered verandah outside, which is a sunny spot for lunch – a favourite for us. Great soups, plentiful paninis, and sweet potato fries. Chicken, avocado and mango salad also a great dish! Five minutes walk to the award winning beach.
