Scotland Part 5, Continued
We drove through the rainy countryside to the city of St. Andrews. This city houses the family St. Andrews University where Prince William and Kate met and fell in love as well as where Golf was invented and has the oldest golf course. I'm not a big golfer, so we never had any intentions of playing on the course. I think my dad would love to play there, I got him a hat as a gift.
Despite the weather the course was open and we say people playing. I suppose if you could only play on a sunny day the course wouldn't be open very much.
One great thing about the weather was getting the chance to try out this fantastic restaurant. On our other days we didn't want to waste time eating at a long sit down meal. Our tour guide dropped us off near the golf course and gave us a time we would have to meet up a few hours later and two different pick up locations.
This restaurant had a Michelin star and the food here was really great! On a nice day the views from here would be great since the walls are all glass and it sat over the sea.
We had a corner window seat and watched the waves crashing against the shore and the sea gulls fly around.
We started off with some fresh bread and butter.
We started off with sharing an appetizer of mushroom risotto. I love this dish and make it at home all the time. It's always fun to see how it compares to the one I make. This one was very good.
For my main course I decided to try the Monk fish. I'd never tried this before, always heard it was called the poor mans lobster. It tasted delicious!
My husband had the Turbot. The first time we tried this was at Victoria and Albert's and this one was just as good.
After lunch we went and explored the golf course.
