Haar Restaurant
Haar
The flagship restaurant of MasterChef: The Professionals chef Dean Banks, serving tasting menus of local seasonal seafood close to the Old Course.
Haar is at 1 Golf Place, on the site of the former Golf Inn, very close to the 18 holes of the Old Course and to West Sands, with guest rooms upstairs. Chef-owner Dean Banks rose to fame on MasterChef: The Professionals. The restaurant focuses on local seasonal ingredients and serves only five- or six-course tasting menus with no à la carte. Examples include smoked lobster from St Andrews Bay with mirin and seaweed butter, and Loch Etive trout with brown crab and galangal curry. Evening tasting menus start at about £82.50, and the three-course lunch is about £49, making it a relatively affordable way to try high-end cooking. Booking ahead is recommended.
