Wonderful

Fabulous food, wonderful service and great experience. Would absolutely recommend. The staff were so friendly and the menu was delicious”

Excellent food and friendly welcoming service

Beautiful restaurant providing a fantastic dining experience. Food was lovely (best out of the other Dean Banks restaurants we visisted in Edinburgh).”

Delicious food but something missing

Our first visit to haar and we were very happy with the quality and quantity of the tasting menu. Good selection of dishes that tantalised the tastebuds on every level. We added the wagyu beef and smoked lobster as an extra. Both were lovely but lobster was a little on the small side. As for the restaurant, there was something not quite right that we struggled to work out exactly what. The welcome was fine and the staff were friendly and engaging enough although the chef at the chefs table seemed a little shy to be suited for that role. We also found the restaurant to be a bit stark and needed something either decor or lighting wise to add a little warmth to proceedings.”

Couldn’t fault anything

We enjoyed every taste of the delicious menu from the snacks to the starter to the main, pudding and coffee. And the wine.
Beautifully presented, perfectly sized portions that tasted amazing. Loved the decor of the place and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. “

Superb

First visit and not disappointed as the welcome, food and service were top class. Everything was perfect and breakfast today was very good as well.”

Amazing

This was our third visit to’Haar’ in these premises.Everything was top notch. Already looking forward to visit number 4.”

Amazing Experience

It was our first time dining at HAAR and I've got to say it was the best experience I could have hoped for.
The staff was really friendly and the food was out of this world...
Keep it up guys, you're doing a great job!!!”

Delightful!

From drinks before the chef’s table to the 5-course tasting, a wonderful dining experience. Creative dishes, gifted servers. Thanks, Team Haar, we’ll be back.”

A warm welcome awaits

This was our second visit to Haar, but our first since they moved into their new premises. And the experience was even better the second time around. We went for dinner in between Christmas and New Year. We opted to the wine pairing menu and it was exquisite. We started the evening with some snacks at the chefs table. I have an allergy to crustaceans and this was swiftly and sympathetically dealt with in terms of delivery and care. Our server explained our extra choices and we are glad of her recommendation. The scallop with red Thai sauce and squid ink cracker was out of this world. The meal, ambience, decor and staff were so welcoming. Can’t wait to come back again.”

Top class food and service

Fantastic food and great service. Friendly staff, nice and relaxed. All round great experience.

You are started off in a lounge area and a drinks order is taken. You are then give them menu and told about the specials. We went with the tasting menu and added in one extra course of Wagyu Sirloin and one course of the Lobster.

You are then directed to the ‘snack’ area where you are given some pre-meal snacks. They are prepared in front of you and each has a little story to it.

Then you are taken to your main table and the service begins.

Each dish was pretty much perfect. I would definitely recommend it for anyone in St Andrews.

All in all - Great experience.”
