Forgan's is a lively all-day restaurant and bar on North Street, occupying a large converted space that fills reliably without feeling hectic. The menu is broad and Scottish-leaning — haggis and neeps, fish pies, Cullen skink, and burgers sourced from Fife farms — but with enough variety that it works for groups whose tastes diverge. Brunch, lunch, and dinner are all served, and the bar stocks a good range of Scottish gins and whiskies.
The atmosphere is louder and more sociable than the town's more formal options, and service is fast. For groups, families, or anyone who wants a decent meal without the fuss of the fine-dining restaurants, it is the most reliable broad-church option in St Andrews. Main courses run from about £14 to £22. It gets crowded on Friday and Saturday evenings; booking is advisable.
