We were here on Friday for a meal. I had the scallops from Selling isle. Beautifully cooked in a little Hollandaise and sprinkled with Shetland black pudding. A lovely starter. My wife had the Skagen prawns in creme fraiche with dill and salmon toe. Very fresh to taste. Mains we both had the fish of the day which was seared cod on a bed of samfire. A few Hastleback potatoes... Fish cooked perfectly. Ice cream and a compote of overly sweetened berries to finish. We had a bottle of Monteplchiano red wine with the meal a lovely wine. Service was very good indeed. Small seating area upstairs.

Very nice restaurant with terrific service. Oyster appetizer terrific. Has the scallops as a starter and they were wonderful. Had their fish of the day, sea bass, which was done broil and was magnificent.

We visited a few months ago and were blown away by the quality of the food and service at The Räv. The decor and interior design is tasteful and relaxing; service is friendly and efficient; and the food is excellent. The soup of the day was a spiced pumpkin and carrot soup, which was perfectly seasoned and paired well with a basket of freshly-baked breads. Both the Swedish meatballs and cauliflower mains were delicious. Desserts rounded off the meal nicely.

Quaint Swedish fusion restaurant. Amazing food and service. The waitresses were welcoming and warm, the manager went out of his way to clear a table for us and our dog and baby in a pram.The food was something special and speaking to the chef, you can see why. He clearly cared deeply about his food and it shone through. The sweet and sour cabbage and Swedish meatballs were the highlights for us.Recommend some wines to pair with dishes to take it to the next level!

Scottish Swedish restaurant. People who works here are just great ! Super warm welcoming. The food were memorable too. Have to visit, if you are in town.

Service, views & food are exceptional. Had a bit of a kerfluffle when the online reservation system allowed bookings on dates that the Rav was apparently not open. Unfortunately our reservation was for my husband’s birthday. We were both so looking forward to our dining experience when we were called on the date of the reservation to be informed of the issue I was beyond disappointed. My original review definitely reflected this. I also fired off an email to Alex (co-owner) to voice my frustration. To his credit, Alex responded promptly with an apology and offer of compensation. We did accept and had a lovely meal the following Saturday. My husband was very happy with his Swedish meatballs and I was duly impressed with the awe inspiring view of St Salvador’s College Tower up close and personal. Jaime, Liam and especially Lena were exceptional in their very warm, friendly & professional service catering to our every need. I look forward to perhaps trying the Rav again once relocated to a shared space with my all time favorite restaurant in St Andrews, Lupo’s. Also on North Street, Lupo’s has never disappointed and remains our go to for the best Italian-ish fare in town.♥️

Would highly recommend The Rav. We had a beautiful lunch, the Swedish meatballs and the Flat iron Steak. I’d give Jamie, our waiter and Liam 10/10 for their hospitality.

One of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Firstly, very warm and friendly hosts who seemed happy to be there and made us feel welcomed . They offered us complimentary Prosecco when they heard it was a birthday dinner ?. The atmosphere was lovely, intimate, elegant and relaxing. The food was fantastic, beautifully presented, and offered exciting new Scandinavian gastronomic experiences. We particularly enjoyed the venison carpaccio ?. Overall, excellent and highly recommended ?. Thank you to all the hosts and the kitchen staff. We had a great time ?

High-end restaurant with an excellent drink menu and service. I had the venison and it was excellent.

Our waiter, Jamie, was lovely. Very friendly, relaxed and efficient. Perfect service. The food was also excellent, particularly the scallops to start which came with black pudding and celeriac purée. It was delicious. I also highly recommend the meatballs - a very generous portion and absolutely yummy. Burgers and chips were declared to be very good as was the venison although that could have been hotter. Next time we are in St Andrews we will definitely return to The Rav.
