Restaurant at The Balcarres Arms Hotel Description
The Balcarres Arms Hotel was built in the 18th century along with the rest of Colinsburgh by the 3rd Earl of Balcarres to house disbanded solders. Owner, Damian Bolton has trained and worked at some of the top hotels in Scotland and has wrought many changes to bring the facilities up to date. If you are looking for hearty Scottish meals and traditional ales, served in a warm and friendly atmosphere, then you could do a lot worse than visit The Balcarres Arms Hotel.
Only local produce is supplied by their butcher and fish merchants, and they offer dishes such East Neuk beer battered haddock with chips and mushy peas, roast rack of lamb with a parsnip puree, sautéed potatoes and a rich port sauce or roast fillet of pork with a potato cake, cabbage and bacon, and a honey and mustard cream.
The restaurant features an open log fire which will keep you warm on a cold winter's day, while there is a small and friendly bar serving a fine selection of beers, ales and wines, or you could relax outside in the beer garden, where in summer you can enjoy lunch or dinner.

The food is fresh, tasty and the restaurant is fancily decorated. It has a warm local ambience, friendly and competent service! I could recommend the restaurant to everyone. In my honest opinion it was the best food I had back in Scotland.

I when to eat at the Balcarres on a recommendation from a friend, as they had been the week before. We were sat down on a table near the window to the rear of the building overlooking the decking area at the back. On looking at the menu, everything looked delicious. I started with the chicken liver pate and my wife had the warm goat's cheese salad, both were fantastic. I then had the rack of lamb with a rich red wine sauce and my wife had the duck in a sweet orange sauce. Both main courses tasted exquisite as we both tried each others. To accompany the meal we decided on the house red (Uruguay Tanant) on the waiter's recommendation. At this point we were both full and decide to go for coffee. The bill for the meal and wine came to about £50 for the both of use. I would recommend you try the Balcarres if you are in the area.
