A DUNFERMLINE restaurant has undergone a revamp to create an enhanced dining experience.

Jack 'O' Bryan's on Chalmers Street has been given a whole new look to reflect their brand new menu.

Bryan Coghill, who runs the popular eaterie in Chalmers Street with his family, told the Press: "At the start of the year we had been open for four years, so we're getting on to four and a half years and we looked at changing the menus and everything, doing a few changes here and there.

"Our background is other restaurants in Spain, Portugal and the one in Edinburgh in particular, so a lot of our menu is Iberian influenced we thought we'll do a stronger concept with that, so that's why we have our lunchtime tapas.

"With that, changing the menus, we wanted to change the decor to go along with that. It's the same sort of style of the food and the decor to match that."

The eatery is committed to giving its customers high quality, delicious food in a venue to match.

He continued: "The style of food we do is of a standard that we want the whole experience to be. It's not just about the food it has to be about the restaurant and the decor as well."

The new menu launched earlier this year and has already had great feedback.

"The restaurant has been modernised for today," he said. "It's fresh for the customers, its modern with a contemporary feel which again goes along with the food, and it's good for the staff as well.

"The other thing is that Dunfermline is now a city so we feel that the food that we do, in particular, is of a standard that you would get in any other city, Edinburgh and London.

"In particular, the style of food that we are doing, with the Iberian influence, is what you would find in Barcelona, Porto and Lisbon."

The restaurant has been redecorated with the help of local businesses and contractors, Erm electrical, Gid Wi Wid and Millcroft who handled the upholstery.

Photographs of the kitchen staff taken by Jim Payne are also displayed around the dining room as a play on an open plan kitchen. The pictures give diners the opportunity to know who is cooking their food and experience the workings of a busy kitchen without the need for a whole new floor plan.

Bryan added: "That's important as well, that we had local contractors, like the electrician, joiner, painter, photographer. It's good to have local people, like Rhoddy over at Millcroft, I mean he's literally across the street!

"I like working with as many local people as we can because at the end of the day businesses in the city should support other businesses and keep as much local as possible."
