St Andrews newest restaurant overlooks the Old Course
One of St Andrews’ most anticipated restaurant openings has arrived, as Clarets – the latest venture from The Rocca Group at The R&A World Golf Museum
Occupying a prime single-level space with seating for 60 guests, Clarets has been thoughtfully designed to offer a refined yet welcoming environment. Perfectly positioned with panoramic views across the iconic Old Course, sweeping West Sands and the historic Royal & Ancient Clubhouse, Clarets delivers an all-day dining experience unlike any other in town, combining a comfortable setting, warm hospitality and one of Scotland’s most celebrated backdrops.
Guests dine in a unique setting surrounded by an extraordinary collection of golfing memorabilia, including historic trophies and iconic claret jugs from the past and present. This immersive environment places diners at the heart of golfing history, offering a truly distinctive backdrop that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Blending design, atmosphere and heritage, Clarets delivers what can only be described as a golfer’s paradise for dining in Scotland – where world-class views, rich history and exceptional hospitality come together in one unforgettable setting.
The restaurant launches with a carefully curated breakfast and lunch menu evolving into a relaxed brasserie-style experience in the evenings. Morning and daytime favourites include elevated classics such as avocado on sourdough, a hearty full Scottish breakfast, indulgent eggs Benedict, and comforting plates including a signature haggis toastie — all delivered with Rocca’s hallmark quality and exceptional value.
