The Adamson, 127 South Street, St Andrews, KY169UH

14/08/2013 by Emma Leave a Comment

The Adamson is located in the centre of St. Andrews and is named after Dr Adamson who developed the first calotype portrait.  The building also used to house the Post Office.

We arrived at lunchtime and were quickly seated and quickly served; we both ordered the local ale - the 19th brew IPA from the Eden brewery in nearby Guardbridge (bottles only at £3.80 but they do have West St. Mungo on tap for £2.00 a half/£3.90 a pint).

To start...

chorizo and feta squid

Chorizo and feta stuffed baby squid

3 big squid rings and 2 baby squid on top Lovely meaty chorizo minced and mixed with feta. An uncommon combo but we both love chorizo, feta and squid so decided to give it a go and it was lovely! Really strong flavoursome chorizo mixed with the more delicate crumbly feta and wrapped in well-cooked firm but not chewy squid rings. Fresh cherry tomatoes and olives

Scallops

Ceviche of scallop with watermelon and pink grapefruit

Thinly sliced fresh scallop. No overpowering tastes, light, fresh and simple. Light battered onion
rings

Our mains...

Beef blade

Beef was divine, sweet sauce but nicely salted.
Crisp rosti side of broccoli, chilli and garlic

Broccoli

tender stems with a kick.

 

Courgette risotto

Crab and courgette risotto

 

Lime creme fraiche and pea shoots. Creamy, light, not stodgy at all. Also had a side of house salad

House salad

Peas, beans, fresh leaves and tomato.

 

For dessert...

Mousse

Dark chocolate mousse

This was huge, 2 brownies with a salted sorbet?! Slightly bizarre and interesting combo, but we couldn't taste the saltiness from the sorbet but we did get a citrus background.

 

Parfait

Vanilla parfait honey roasted apricots, salted honeycomb & pistachios

Crisp honeycomb with smooth parfait and crunch pistachios. So many
different layers of texture. Delicious.

Overall, a great meal at a total cost of £78 for two of us. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly; toilets: spotless; decor: relaxed stylish bistro with modern-art on the walls, and you could see the food being prepared in the kitchen, which we like to see. The food was delicious and the portions were good too. There's outside seating for sunny days (and it was lovely when we visited) and a doggy water-bowl too.
