The food scene in St Andrews is best discovered on foot — walk between Old Course, St Andrews Cathedral and St Andrews Castle to taste what makes this city's culinary identity distinct. Tuck into lesser-known corners like St Andrews Botanic Garden for the dishes visitors rarely find. From morning market runs to late-night street food, every neighborhood here has its own flavor.
