“We Enjoyed the Haar-at-home and just had a fantastic visit to their restaurant!
We Enjoyed the Haar-at-home over lockdown which was excellent so decided to visit the restaurant itself for lunch early October on a dreich Autumn afternoon. Had the 4 course lunch and added in the scallops as a mid-course.
Thought it was truly excellent and we had a lovely lunch. We Especially enjoyed the oyster with Tom yum sauce at the starter and the Pork was fantastic. The miso butter was v tasty with warm bread and we had not had that before. Think there was something a little bit extra or different at every course; which is of course what your paying for. Had a couple of cocktails to start (the plum and and mulled, both great) and the wine was v. Like the fact that the wine menu was not massive and all old world (I think?) and had an option for our wallet (slim).
First time at a restaurant for a while and We felt v. safe, the place was spotless, everything properly distanced etc. The staff were charming and attentive throughout. Difficult with masks but that’s the current rules so just need to be a bit patient.” - by cw56n

I ordered the home delivery luxury lobster and crab box. It arrived when it should, still chilled due to the excellent, well thought out packaging. The prepared meal was very good, requiring a couple of elements to be reheated, which was quick and simple to do. Amazing tasty luxury meal at home. So good I ordered again since my first order. Very good - so glad I ordered.” - by beverleyg919
WOW! We had the Haar at Home - Best of Land and Sea. I’m not a cook but the instructions were excellent and the food was amazing. Absolutely delighted and my husband thought the Rib Eye was just fabulous. Personally, as a non meat eater I over indulged in the crab and lobster! Both amazing and everything was so flavoursome. Thank you so much for offering this and hopefully when the world is normal again we will be able to visit personally.” - by CatastropheCat
“Haar at Home - buy yours today
Birthday dinners at home do not get any better than this - and clearly superior to the Cail Bruich and the Ubiquitous Chip ones sampled during lockdown.
Masterchef final apart, this was a thoughtfully-constructed pack, where distinctive Asian flavours transformed a wide variety of premium local ingredients onto another level. Even the bread was a cut above, and the chocolate and salted caramel dessert was an unqualified success.
Starting from the well-packaged delivery with clear instructions, the You Tube video tutorial enabled me to prepare the rib-eye steak, roast potato and broccoli main (with XO sauce). Placed in a serving dish, it was a sight for sore eyes! Only the best for our 4YO son. If only he could behave in public..
The Fife coast is renowned for premium catches, and both the sweet lobster and juicy crab were accentuated by the fragrant butter sauce, smoked mayo, and the spicy Asian slaw respectively. As an enthusiastic amateur, I am in awe of the sheer skill in using simple seasoning and sauces..broccoli and lobster have never tasted so good.
In short, although expensive, our package represented excellent value for money, and enabled us to sample Michelin-standard food at home. Unlike other places, it surpassed our expectations, and left us wanting more. If you fancy something special, you can try one of many options available. You won't regret it!” - by coh8
I ordered this Haar at Home box for my son’s birthday meal and it was superb. The food was delivered in tip-top condition, all still chilled, having travelled overnight down to Sussex. The instructions for cooking were clear and easy to follow. The food was all absolutely delicious. Thank you to the team at Haar.” - by elisabethcY5131EZ
“Haar at home has been a revelation
Haar at home has been a revelation for us during the various stages of lockdown. We’ve had the luxury crab and lobster a couple of times, the best of land and sea, langoustines and steak and, our favourite, the Goan curry lobster box. Always sensational, fabulous value and always leaves us waiting to order again. Well played Haar and Dean! Fabulous!” - by craigs765
Delicious! We had the tasting menus and vegan tasting menu.
All meals were explained to us as they were brought to the table by knowledgable staff, including the Head Chef who took time to speak to all tables about their dishes.
This was a special occasion for us and I’m glad we chose Haar. Food was well presented and depth of flavour was superb.
We felt comfortable with the safety measures in place and were reassured by the attention to detail.
Look forward to returning in the near future, thanks to all the team for a great evening.” - by justwantaniceroom
We ate at Haar while staying at Kinettles. Everything was just perfect. We had the tasting menu, I had five courses and my husband opted to add the scallop dish so had six. The food was just amazing. Each course was introduced and explained by the person serving and the attention to detail was incredible. I decided not to have the beef tartare and this was no problem at all, I was offered the tandoori cauliflower which was absolutely delicious.
Unfortunately we visited during Covid restrictions which meant that we were unable to have the wine pairings with the tasting menu. This was a real pity, however it gives us a great excuse to go back!” - by LittlewoodFamily
“Fabulous, an absolute triumph
Despite Ms. Sturgeon banning alcoholic beverages, this place s a special experience. Sometimes high end chefs get carried away with their ideas of a taster menu, the result being almost unrecognisable as food. Not so here, the flavours are bold, simple, they dont clash or contradict. Highly attentive and informed staff. Ambience is amazing, especially to those of us that remember the previous occupants. This is a triumph, michelin will soon be knocking at the day.” - by mpbeahan
“A truly triumphant Harry at home!
Just recovering (in the nicest possible way) from last night with two of your crab and lobster luxury boxes as the centrepiece. Having experienced your signature lobster in your restaurant in those happy, far off, pre covid days, this was a succulent near equivalent triumph! Respect for the thought, attention to detail, prep and love involved! All the very best to all the team at Haar and your survival beyond this utterly mismanaged coving fiasco. Help out an independent and eat fab food!” - by hungryscotsman2014
