A special place

First visit with a friend for lunch and we both had a really special dining experience, each enjoying the snacks beforehand with a chef who was really engaging about each dish. As one of a handful of fine dining experiences, my visit to Haar was really welcoming with the service staff each taking excellent care of your dining experience. Looking forward to visiting in the future.”

The best tasting lunch we’ve ever had

Had the 4-course tasting lunch as part of the Winter Offer. Absolutely outstanding! Excellent value for money, incredible flavours, warm/friendly service, tastefully decorated restaurant. We’ll def return in coming months.”

Wonderful

We were given a lunch voucher for Haar as a gift at Christmas. Last Sunday we used the voucher and enjoyed a wonderful meal. Staff very welcoming and friendly. The personal attention from start to finish was lovely without being overbearing. The food was amazing and we enjoyed the descriptions of the ingredients used as the food arrived at our table.
The tarte tatin was amazing and delicious. We felt that perhaps a little more of the coconut ice cream would have been a welcome addition.
Thank you all at Haar. We would love to make a return visit soon.”

Fin to skin hat-trick

It’s an extraordinary philosophy. But 100% relevant for these times. Use all parts. Innovate. Explore. Exploit all flavour potential. Create deliciousness from fin to skin. Eye balls? Perfect for CCTV!

A magical lunch at Haar filled our hearts and tummies with love. Truly extraordinary. Exceptionally warm, funny and loving service. Beth, Giraldo, Hannah, Craig - front of house. Hats off to you. And chefs upstairs. Conjuring. Beguiling. Pulling multiple rabbits out of the hat. Unreal.

Pompadour and Haar done. Next up. Dulse in Edinburgh. And The Forager in Dollar. To compete the Banksy Big 4 magic show. Cannae wait.”

World class

Just left the Haar and I have to rave about the amazing food and outstanding service. Atmosphere was relaxing but upbeat for a Thursday night and decor was unique. Staff were friendly and attentiv. Very well paced with staff making sure we were having a good time throughout (indeed we were!). Over all world class service and top notch food. Well done everyone and we’ll be back soon with friends!”

Fabulous feast

Our first visit to Haar today and we certainly weren't disappointed. Delicious 5 course tasting menu and impeccable service. A wonderful relaxed service and with every course, a real treat, beautifully presented. Well worth the 2 hour drive to get to St Andrews.”

Top class

A fabulous time from start to finish!!
We were warmly welcomed and taken to our room. The room was tastefully decorated with everything you needed from ghd straighteners,robes,mini bar,tea,coffee and the most amazing view to the sea. The products in the bathroom were lovely(so much so I have ordered some for at home!) We then went to the restaurant for dinner, again the staff were very attentive! The meal was absolutely amazing! We had the 5 course tasting menu and added all 3 extras as we couldn’t pick only 1! We were not disappointed with any! The portions were very generous. I would definitely recommend the signature lobster dish. Breakfast in the morning was also fabulous with a great choice! We could not fault anything and would highly recommend!”
