Empire

Empire on Bell Street is a Chinese takeaway operating off the east end of South Street, close to the remains of St Andrews Cathedral and within the medieval grid of this ancient university city. Bell Street is a short cut between South Street and the seafront, used by students and locals navigating between the university buildings and the harbour. The menu covers standard Chinese takeaway dishes and Empire trades late into the evening — an important feature in a town where university life extends well past midnight. Bell Street's location near the cathedral ruins of one of medieval Scotland's most important ecclesiastical sites gives this neighbourhood chippy a remarkable setting.
