Ondine Oyster & Grill: Michelin-Recommended Seafood in St Andrews | wattafork

Ondine Oyster & Grill

On the coastline of St Andrews, overlooking West Sands beach, Ondine Oyster & Grill is the signature dining experience at Seaton House. The restaurant’s focus is clear: the finest locally sourced Scottish seafood, fish and meat. The kitchen, led by Executive Chef Lee Murdoch, prepares seasonal produce with what the team describes as “real love, respect and imagination.”

This philosophy has earned the restaurant a place in the Michelin Guide, which awarded it a Recommended rating for 2026. The recognition speaks to the quality on the plate and the commitment to Scotland’s exceptional natural larder.

The menu draws directly from the surrounding waters and land. While the name signals a passion for oysters, the grill covers a broad range of seafood, all treated with a straightforward, confident hand. The setting matches the ambition: the restaurant is housed within a lovingly restored local landmark, Seaton House, and offers a breath-taking coastal backdrop.

For those looking to explore further, Seaton House also offers The Board Room for relaxed all-day dining, and Bow Butts Bar, a moody, atmospheric space with a distinguished collection of rare malts. But for a true taste of Scotland’s coast, Ondine Oyster & Grill is the destination.
