Gidi Grill, St. Andrews

You'll find yourself on North Street watching plumes of smoke drift from Gidi Grill's open kitchen—that's your first sign they're serious about their craft. This place has quietly become the spot locals queue for when they want proper char on their meat, the kind that comes from actual fire rather than a griddle. The vibe is unfussy and genuine; you're here for the food, not the Instagrammability, though the flames do make for decent photos if you're into that.
