Balvaird Restaurant in Perth & Kinross

We had an enjoyable lunch at the Bein Inn. My partner said his burger was good, his purple coleslaw looked appealing and I have to say his chips (something neither of us is fond of) were probably the best we've had. I ordered a chicken fajita, which was the most unusual I've ever had: *everything*, including the rice (either pilau or basmati, not long grain as I'd expect), wrapped up in one big dod with three sauces on the side. It tasted fine and was filling, but looked tragi-comical. The young waitress warned us they had no avocados, but on questioning thought they may have guacamole; however it was substituted with some kind of chutney, which was ok if unconventional. On the plus side, it all seemed to have actually been cooked rather than banged into a microwave, which we appreciated. The service was good and friendly, and our food arrived in a timely manner, noting that we arrived at the beginning of Friday lunchtime when it was quiet. We're not in a hurry to go back, as the menu was limited and a bit overpriced, at least for my weird offering at £17. There seemed to be some renovation work going on in the entrance area, all good, but didn't add to the ambience. We'd originally looked into this for a Sunday lunch, which seems popular with others, would possibly try it for that in future.

Turned up at 20.45 on a Thursday only to be told the kitchen closed at 20.00hrs. Might be great but I'll never know!

Having passed the Bein Inn on the road several times, we decided to book into the restaurant. We were given the option of the main restaurant or eating in the lounge bar. We chose the restaurant. As soon as we walked into the Bein Inn we were greeted by the receptionist and, whilst tempted to sit ourselves down in front of the roaring fire, being hungry we opted to be shown to our table. We chose by the window but this was also by a radiator, so still warm. The menu was hearty & homely - just what we were looking for. Not only that but when the plates arrived, the portions were large; something that the waitress had warned us of when I thought about ordering a side dish. Luckily I took her advice. From the chicken liver pate to the slow roasted lamb shank, it was cooking to make you smile from the inside. I was pleasantly surprised by the breadth of the wine list. Whilst not a huge list, the wines on offer complimented the food and would appeal to a variety of tastes. To top things off, the service was lovely. We chatted briefly to the waitress and the owner who were both friendly and when we'd finished our meals we took the last of the wine through to the lounge bar where we also enjoyed our after-dinner coffees at our leisure, the staff being happy to accommodate our change of seating in there stride. When the bill arrived it was as expected and very reasonable value for both the hearty meal we'd had and the friendly service. We were tempted to book a room so that we could stay there all evening!

Nuestra intención era tener el almuerzo de domingo en Perth sin embargo, como nos pasó la Bein Inn decidí probar. Gran decisión!! Teníamos el asado del domingo, que estaba muy bien de precio de £12. La calidad de la comida era excelente. Carne asada y todos los adornos, como se esperaría, y me puedo quejar de nada. Verduras y carne perfectamente cocinado perfectamente de tamaño. Mi hijo tenía la hamburguesa con patatas fritas, handcut venado. De nuevo excelente. Sin duda lo recomiendo y sin duda volveremos como el mejor almuerzo de domingo!!!

Lange Wartezeit, ungemütliche Atmosphäre, mittelmäßiges Pub-Essen. Schottland kann es doch eigentlich besser...

Visité el hotel estar otra vez última noche con mi esposa para una comida de San Valentín y pasamos una noche fantástica ... el lugar cada vez es mejor y mejor. Mi esposa tenía cordero del menú San Valentín tenía una parrillada mixta ambas comidas eran de primera clase disfrutamos! Comimos en el restaurante en lugar del bar esta vez y no sólo la comida increíble, pero el ambiente era preciosa, el personal era feliz y hacen todo lo posible para hacer que su noche especial ... Después de cenar nos sentamos junto al fuego y haber escuchado a la animación que era. Una vez más, gracias a todo el personal por darnos una gran noche y una gran comida volveremos muy pronto ... si alguien todavía no ha sido bajar allí no le decepcionará!

Al haber manejado desde Inverness-que a menudo pasan por este hotel, la última vez que comimos allí fue decepcionante, segunda vez suerte-- no!El bacalao y eglefino Solicité que me dieron fue decepcionante y, como para el acompañante incomible tartare de salsa.personal ofreció reemplazar pero parecía que estaba bien-mal cambiar.Mi esposa tenía el bisteclo siento-mediocre de pastel pero pasará mucho tiempo antes de que intente nuevamente.
