The coffee is a special local roast and very nice, while an underextracted espresso shot was not quite up to snuff. Eggs seem to be limited to scrambled on the menu. Food was very good but the other café within a stone's throw, which also allows dogs(!), is better. Yet, you can't beat the feeling you get in this original building vs. a remodel. A must for a lovely, quiet brekkie!

The staff were friendly, helpful & accommodating. We ordered cocktails (Margarita & Spicy Bloody Mary) A little on the expensive side, but large and worth every penny, cool, refreshing & enough to last the meal. The menu is varied & pleasing to both the eye and the wallet. We both had burgers, my wife choosing a double burger tower , with myself ordering a spinach & falafel burger, both with delicious hand cooked fries and salad. All meals are freshly made on site, but with perfect company & a wonderful view to soak up, the wait seemed momentary. Everything about the Boathouse is warm and inviting. I look forward to our next visit. 10/10

This is a bargain! So the hot rocks is a super hot rock slab where you cook your own meat. We both chose the ribeye steaks (I was also tempted by the duck breast). It was a really interesting experience. You get to cook your meat to your liking however you have to deal with spitting fat and smoke at your table. The whole pace was smoky as there were other tables enjoying their hot rock meal. The sides I had where chunky chips and onion rings. My brother had the chilli cheese fries which were so good. Even though we were full we managed dessert. I sort of regretted that but it was lovely. Anyone looking for good food in Dunfermline I'd recommend here.

The Fisherman Pie, which was Haddock, Smoked Haddock and Salmon in a Creamy Leek & Chive Sauce, topped with Mash Potato and Isle of mull Cheddar, was delicious.

On top of that, they had a nice long list of ciders to select from and they had the Kopparberg Strawberry & Lime, which is one of my favorites.

From the outside the Ship Inn looks like a local bar on the "welcoming" side of the scale as…read moreopposed to the "Tourists Beware" side. On entering it is a spacious and cosy looking bar that is definitely suited for tourists with a collection of beer mats almost being used as wallpaper to cover most of the free space behind the bar, some of which I had never even heard of! The decor and feel to the sitting area itself is traditional with a modern fusion, little tweaks like old spirit bottles (JD mainly) being used as candle holders are excellent to the vibe of the place and really let you settle happily in to one of the booths and take the surroundings in. We went in here because my better half was feeling hungry (I was saving myself for the North Berwick Fry which is just next door to the Ship Inn, in hindsight I should have eaten here) and decided to pop in here for a drink & a bit of lunch/dinner, we definitely weren't disappointed. A chicken and bacon burger was ordered and a chicken and bacon burger it was. Where the chicken that this chicken breast came from I don't know but it was definitely doing some serious weightlifting and bulking up. It was MASSIVE, in all it's chickeny beauty I found it hard to resist taking a huge bite out of the burger. Long stoy short, I ended up taking a huge bite out of the burger. The chicken was beautifully juicy for general pub grub and the bacon was lovely, sweet but slightly salted which gelled all the flavours of the breaded chicken and the toasted roll together. Thinking about it now, I'm getting hungry again. Every time I have a pub burger, the side salad always lets it down, every time, it's like the bars expect people not to eat it, but not this bar. The salad was crisp and fresh, served up with a deliciously sweet vinaigrette that was perfect for dipping a wee bit of the roll in. The spirit measures were 35ml and the guest ales on offer covered breweries such as Innis & Gunn and The Inveralmond Brewery (who do beers such as Lia Fail and Ossian) which justified the bar being about 60-70p more expensive than the others we visited.
