A privilege going abroad are the food options. There’s rarely a moment where I miss the Kimball. In this blog I’ll describe more about what to expect for accommodations and into a guide on places that I have love.
Like Holy Cross you are applying to accommodations, through my experience and my peers, I was able to rank options provided to me. The greatest thing to be aware of is the difference between catered and uncatered. Debating your preferences and financial capabilities beforehand is very important and determines your experiences.
Here’s some of my top recommended places if you’re visiting or attending St Andrews:
Hatch: Classic spot for brunch with a great ambiance for light meals.
Mitchell’s: Lovely staff and great variety of food options. I met Howard during one of my lunch runs for the student deal (toastie with a soup for six-seven pounds). Another cool offer is their steak nights on Wednesdays.
Bibi’s Café: Another great option for a heavy breakfast.
North Point: This is a popular spot since it’s known for when Prince Williams and Princess Kate had frequented when they were here for their undergrad.
Little Italy: The only good chain restaurant in town. A bit pricier but it’s great for a dinner.
Café in the Square: Another café, you can try this for a wholesome vibe.
Lowdown Coffee in Edinburgh: Fun spot to stop by on Georges St.
Café Royal in Edinburgh: Good oysters.
Hotel du Vin: Great hotel bar.
Old Course Hotel: Awesome spot for afternoon tea with the best view of the Old Course.
I should really become a food critic,
