Barley Bree in Perth & Kinross

Fantastic food and excellent service 100% worth the trip out from Edinburgh, possibly one of the best deserts of my life, definitely worth a visit!

My friend and I dined at the Coorie Inn yesterday evening. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly and shown to our table. The dining room is inviting and tastefully decorated with a plethora of interesting decorative features. Once seated, the friendly and attentive server (possibly the manager) confirmed my dietary requirements, immediately putting me at ease that I would be safely catered to. As a coeliac with several other allergies and menieres disease (salt restricted diet) I realise that I can be challenging to cater to, but it was clear my options had been discussed with the chef ahead of dining and everything was explained to me in terms of the ingredients and cooking methods. I opted for the mushroom starter, seabass as a main with a side of tenderstem broccoli and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. As my friend and I were sharing the side as suggested by the server, they provided the dressing separately so she could add to her portion, which was really accommodating. All courses were excellent, well presented and cooked beautifully. I dine out frequently and the Coorie Inn stood out as one of those rarer gems that try to ensure my experience was like that of other diners wherein items weren't removed from courses, rather I was provided with really good alternatives which I really appreciated. For both of us, the desserts were the star of the show. It was honestly one of the best desserts I've had in my life with a great variety of flavours and it didn't feel like catering to my requirements impacted on the quality. Often free from alternatives do not quite live up to the "normal" options and this was certainly not the case. All in all, it was a great evening with friendly, genuine and professional service. My only complaint is that the Coorie Inn isn't closer to me! I'd definitely recommend a visit to anyone in the area, particularly those with dietary requirements. You won't be disappointed with the options presented!

Beautiful Hotel, food exceptional and staff so friendly. Can’t wait to go back and stay next time, rooms look beautiful. Loved the experience.

Fantastic restaurant. The food was amazing and the staff were first class. The owner is ex Gleneagles and that shows in the quality, but much more affordable. We also stayed over and had a very comfortable stay and quality breakfast. Will definitely be returning

Best food @coorie_inn by far the best scallops and beef I’ve ever had the rooms are amazing and the most comfortable bed ever. I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels but this has got to be up there as one of the best Thank you to the friendliest staff who made our stay all the better Thank you @coorie_inn and we will definitely be back Thanks as well to my wee sister @lindseydivens who is one of the chefs and I think one of the best there is for our treat 🥰🥰🥰🥰

It's rare to find somewhere as perfect as the Coorie. Beautiful room, tastefully decorated throughout the property, a faboulous dinner and delicious, freshly cooked breakfast - capped by simply superb service - friendly, helpful and welcoming. Dinner isn't cheap but it is worth every penny.

Absolutely brilliant, very cozy with a lovely atmosphere! The quality of food, attention to detail and level of service was 1st class. Very impressive indeed. We will be back next year.

From the moment we arrived at The Coorie Inn, the welcome was friendly & warm, like going to a friend's home. Truly wonderful, relaxing stay over. Dinner in the bar, service impeccable, without being interrupted several times. Highly knowledgeable staff. It was like they knew us! Nothing was too much trouble. Menu, fabulous choices all of seasonal local produce, cooked to perfection! From the way it was presented and on lovely dishes. You can tell the chefs are passionate about their work! Couldn't fault our Dinner. Will be booking again & take more friends to enjoy the experience. We stayed in the room with 'the bath'! All amenities you could wish for, decor you could happily have at home & of course clean, comfortable & slept very well. Breakfast, again great choices & wonderful cheery service. The whole team are friendly, professional & wholeheartedly awesome at what they do. Don't hesitate, just go. Thank you to The Coorie Inn Team See you soon Morna

Phil, Andrew and their wonderful team have done an exceptional job and will no doubt be a roaring success. I have had the great pleasure of dining at the Coorie Inn several times now and each and every experience has been a sumptuous delight. This passed weekend, we calibrated my mothers 70th birthday with a Sunday lunch, which was exceptional in every regard. The Sunday roast was a perfectly cooked feast fit for a king, with impeccable service and the buzzing ambiance made it very hard to leave. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say, I cannot wait to return! Congratulations to you both!

Enjoy the food and drinks. It is a wee cosy place too, as the name suggests. Been regularly but not for a while. Will be back.

We made a last minute booking mid-morning and arrived 5 hours later to a warm welcome from Lisa. Our room was spotlessly clean and spacious. The bar area is warm and cosy with an open fire, perfect for a pre-dinner drink and game of Backgammon. Dinner was truly delicious, plenty of choice. The roast potato’s were perfectly crispy and the beef “melt in the mouth”. The highlight for me had to be the pumpkin and gingerbread dessert, YUM! After a good nights sleep, we managed to wolf down fluffy pancakes and an amazing Scottish Breakfast before our departure! It was a pleasure to meet the owners and hear their amazing plans. Thank you Phillip and Andrew, we loved our stay and wish you every success. We will be back to see the renovations and bakery!

Stayed overnight, absolutely loved everything! Warm welcome, staff very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Had an evening meal and it was delicious, beautiful presentation and the roast potatoes were the best ever! Our room was lovely, clean spacious and comfortable. Breakfast were fabulous, lots of choice and excellent quality. Cannot recommend enough

This is a new venture by 2 former Gleneagles Chefs. The chef and waitress are also from there. The Inn is warm and cosy wit a real fire in the small bar area and also a log burner in the dining room(awaiting a chimney lining but up and running soon) The Sunday lunch is a small menu but it has 4starters, 4 mains and 4 sweets. Everything is locally sourced and used in season as much as possible. The staff are warm and friendly and the service slick. The food was the star of the show. Prawn cocktail with really big prawns and not an over filled bowl of lettuce. That in itself is a plus point. The roast beef was melt in the mouth. The Yorkshire’s were big, but slightly overdone. Still very edible though. The sides of roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and a bowl of broccoli and kale. Extra heavy was also served. This is a good idea as sometimes only a small portion is put on the plate. The greens were cold, but everything else was very hot. The sweets were very well received and the cheese included the most tasty goats cheese. We had coffee in the small bar area next to the roaring fire. The decor is being upgraded soon , but it still has a nice, cosy feel. There are 6 rooms available too. Handy if you are having dinner and a wee drink. The Sunday lunch was buzzing. Good to see. All in all, this was a brave mov by these 2 young men and I wish them every success in the future.

Ignore the terrible and poor reviews, this restaurant serves a wonderful Sunday Lunch with terrific service. Dined as a couple and one of us has a food allergy ! The staff were attentive and incredibly welcoming, we wish the new owners all the best for the future and continued success. We will be back , it is just a shame we live so far away.

Our third visit to the cosy and welcoming Coorie Inn - this time for the Sunday Roast. This was the first time we had eaten there with our 6 year old and she was made extremely welcome and entertained greatly by the fabulous whiteboards and pens. The owner and staff are genuinely warm and interested in their customers, which creates a special atmosphere. The bar is an inviting space for a pre lunch/dinner drink and the restaurant itself is full of character. The absolute highlight however is the food. The Sunday roast in particular was exceptional. We had the beef and it was beautifully cooked and full of flavour. The side dishes are sumptuous, with generous portions. It felt like a luxurious feast! Starters and desserts equally delicious, and we ended the meal with a delightful cheese board. My daughter polished off her meal of pork sausages and was even served a dairy free vanilla ice cream, much to her delight. On previous visits, we have dined in the evening and found the quality to be equally high. The Coorie Inn is now firmly on our list of favourite places to eat in the area. We are thrilled to see an expanded wine/drinks list and look forward to sampling some of the new additions on our next visit. Keep up the good work, we are huge fans!

Very friendly staff, great food and a cosy atmosphere. The bar area is dog friendly and has an open fire to enjoy. We enjoyed the charcuterie board, which was excellent.

The Coorie Inn nails it. Perfect blend of charm, quality and precision. Owner managed and thoughtful. Our food was absolutely delicious, the restaurant was so comfortable and the team hosting us were great. Its clear to me that The Coorie Inn genuinely wanted us to have a fantastic evening and took pride in delivering on that. Thank you. Loved it.

Quite simply unmissable! From the moment I phoned to booked 4 rooms for myself and 3 colleagues as we were playing golf nearby at Gleneagles the experience was pleasurable. Our entire stay was outstanding, a great team providing a warm, friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The food as well was absolutely outstanding and you have to try the home made porridge in the morning! I will be back!

We stayed overnight and had dinner and breakfast on recommendation from family. From the minute we opened the front door we felt all cosy and warm. The welcome was also warm and genuine. Our room was comfortable and the bed huge! Our dinner and breakfast were both fabulous with the hosts being so helpful but not intrusive. We will be hurrying back to the Coorie Inn when we can. A wonderful place to be especially in the winter.

Sunday, after all the travel, all the way from London it was a bliss of the day, food was absolutely delicious ! The service was outstanding! I started with Mushroom with toasted brioche which was really flavourful, just on point! As a main Beef Wellington with all the sides best so far I tried 10 out of 10! As a desert Sticky toffee pudding really delicious - only down side it didn't had enough ice cream for all the dessert. Also we shared a rice pudding with apples and crumple really well combined flavours perfect sweet and sour combo.Highly recommend this place!! Thank you so much to the team!

What a lovely night out with family. The food was amazing - good value, high quality fine dining. The mushroom brioche - wow! If I can give one bit of advice to future customers - order ALL of the sides, we couldn’t decide which one we liked best! The attitude of the front of house is really important to me and the Coorie Inn didn’t disappoint. The owners and staff were super friendly. They were keen to engage and share their passion and vision for the restaurant. I wish them every success. We will definitely be back!

Had driven past this place several times over the years when it was The Barlee Bree. These 2 guys Phil and Andrew are doing a fantastic job in putting the Coorie Inn on anyone’s culinary excellence map. Such an unassuming frontage but wonderful warm welcome inside and a lovely big room overlooking the street corner. We were there for Dinner Bed and Breakfast and had an absolutely stunning Dinner. We hear that folk are already coming from far and wide to eat here and they won’t be disappointed. Phil and Andrew are a cracking pair of hardworking lads with real vision and have recruited a wonderful and loyal staff. No hesitation at all in recommending the Coorie Inn to all our gourmet and non gourmet friends.

The staff were excellent from the moment that we entered the restaurant. Some lovely dishes on offer with local produce and described brilliantly. Fish of the day was my wife’s excellent choice, whilst I elected for braised beef. The service provided was top drawer and great value.

Wonderful evening at Coorie Inn. First class food and friendly staff. Beautiful bar and restaurant area serving the best dishes. Some of the best food that I have had the pleasure of eating. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning to this fabulous place....

Warm welcome, great service and most important of all outstanding food. Couldn’t fault a single thing, from the homemade bread to the superb main courses. Thank you to all. We will definitely return.

Exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Excellent attention and care taken regarding food intolerances. Would highly recommend. Overnight stay was extremely comfortable.

Had an evening meal here and log fire was burning which was nice. Homemade bread was good, then had pork dish with Italian flavours and apple tarte tatin. Felt safe with covid rules being followed.

Taken there today for my birthday lunch and it was a fabulous experience. Had an alfresco drink before lunch. A bit chilly but nice start to a dry lunch. Wide choice on the menu including gluten free options. Staff exceptionally friendly and well organised. Well worth the drive.

Stayed here for two nights with my partner. A cosy and homely place to stay. Beautifully old fashioned decor, kept clean and tidy by helpful and lovely staff. Dinner was so tasty yet very pricey, but a lovely occasional treat. A beautiful part of the world to explore, I would recommend staying at Barely Bree's .

Sunday Lunch is my thing and I will happily travel some distance if I know I’ll get a good meal and experience. I have been here several times and have never been disappointed.This visit, first during Covid, found simple but effective precautions. The meal, as always, was first class and, for all my travels, the roast beef here is unsurpassed.Delightful staff and a building full of character makes this a terrific all round experience.

What an amazing find. The staff are absolutely outstanding and the food is as good as anything we’ve had at Michelin starred restaurants. The lamb was probably the best I’ve ever tasted.Seriously good cuisine from a chef that is clearly on top of their game, serving up a fantastic menu of locally sourced dishes.

My husband and I come to the area once or twice a year and always treat ourselves to lunch at the Barley Bree. We booked for lunch and this time we were left disappointed.There were some noticeable changes. The Prix Fixe lunch is still advertised under special offers (albeit 2019), with the menu now being a la carte. So instead of £17.50 for two courses it’s now around £7.50 for a starter and £12.95 for a main course.Previously the home made bread was complimentary (now £3.95) and you used to get petits fours with the coffee (not any more!). It’s not just about the cost though. The menu wasn’t fantastic either. There was a pigeon breast main course (we usually see this as a starter) and the chicken and mushroom pie was topped with a thin layer of potato, lacked pieces of mushroom and didn’t come with any veg or side dishes (another £3.95 if you want something with your main). The food itself was nice but just didn’t seem to represent value for money.We realise businesses are having to recoup losses during lockdown but we felt that the experience for us as customers has been compromised as a result. There were only two desserts on the menu, neither of which we fancied.The service was still excellent though, with our server being really attentive, efficient and pleasant. Sadly I don’t think we’ll be rushing back on our next trip to the area...

This place is wonderful!! I stayed the night in the hotel and dined in the restaurant, both were wonderful. Good COVID safety in place too.

We had a lovely family meal here to celebrate my birthday and it was just perfect. Beautiful surroundings, relaxing lighting, very professional yet friendly staff and the food was out of this world. Head and shoulders above all the other restaurants in the Crieff area.

Food was amazing, beautifully cooked and presented with an excellent choice. Service was very good and they have a good system to deal with the social distancing requirements. I would highly recommend

This is a truly superb restaurant. We were a party of four adults and everyone agreed that it was a faultless meal, each course was utterly delicious. I will be fondly remembering the scallop and mussel starter for a long time. We feel so luck to have a restaurant of this quality locally.

Sunday lunch having walked up the Knock and back we worked up a great appetite and had fortunately booked for today 15th March at 2.30, never dined here before and will surely return, very professional staff, excellent service food and wine. I’m not going to single out any dish we four all had three courses plus pre-lunch drinks a £30 bottle of wine and all for £154 wife and me shared a desert as we were full. At this rate won’t be long before we tried ALL Crief eateries. Tomorrow off to pitcrocknie trying a local eatery there. Congratulations to all the staff and Chefs.

I've been lucky enough to have been taken out to Sunday lunch here by my father 3 times in the last 6 months and each time my father, myself and our friends have had a truly delicious lunch with superb service. The food is outstanding and the staff are wonderful. This is a real gem and I recommend without reservation.

Had a Valentine’s Day overnight with dinner. Tremendous, the room was nicely decorated and cosy but it was our meal where the Barley Bree excelled, the food was out of this world. It was a 4 course menu which consisted of a wonderful butternut squash soup which couldn’t have been smoother, red mullet with samphire and wasabi, delicious, then duck a l’orange which I was looking forward to the least but was excellent. It was all finished with a chocolate and honeycomb tart with grapefruit sorbet which I absolutely loved. In my opinion it rivalled any Michelin restaurant I’d been to in the past. Will definitely be back.

From the outside, you’d have no idea that such a charming and cosy restaurant with rooms dwells inside. The concept is interesting- if you’re wanting a night away where it’s more about the good food than a fancy room then this is the place for you. There’s a car park round the back but use at your own risk! (Although it was perfectly safe enough to do so). The rooms aren’t fancy but they are clean and well-kept. Extra communal loos are also available on the landing. Now the good part.... Pre-dinner drinks and olives were enjoyed in the cosy bar area whilst perusing the dinner menu. Dinner was pretty incredible: broccoli soup with a haggis bon bon made an entrance as the amuse bouche. Starters were pigeon breast (perfectly pink and tender) and a prawn cocktail with a really unique shard of crispy kelp and smokey caviar. Mains were pork belly (super fatty and indulgent) and venison (again, perfectly pink and tender). Unfortunately there was no room left for dessert or cheese... potentially regret this.... a bottle of red wine was enjoyed and perfectly complimented the game. Every dish was delicious and well-cooked. The ingredients used were elevated by their accompanying sides and sauces- no flavours were overshadowed and you could taste the quality in every bite. Staff were attentive throughout the whole meal. It was a lovely trip and even if you don’t stay the night, highly recommend the restaurant!

A special night out to celebrate Hogmanay with a wonderful 5 course taster menu of stunning and imaginative cuisine combining the best of French cooking with fantastic Scottish ingredients. Personal highlight was Parsnip Soup, served with Haggis, Rosemary and Chestnut Crumble. This was our first visit to Barley Bree - we will be back!

Visited here in October 2019. There were ten of us for my husbands 40th birthday. We didn’t order starters but I ordered the beef for my main. It was delicious and cooked really well. My friend ordered venison and was asked if she wanted the chef to choose the vegetables. She said yes but when it cane out there was no side order with it. She then had to ask for a separate portion. Everyone enjoyed their main courses and the service was good. For desserts a few of us opted for the cheeseboard which I can honestly say for a highly rated restaurant, was very poor. There was cheese of different varieties but that was it. No chutney or grapes and the waitress then came with a basket of biscuits which we expected her to leave between us all. But no, she asked us to just choose a couple then took it away! I’ve never seen anything like it. Overall we enjoyed our meal but considering the price of the food, I think it’s expensive for what it was. A note for the management also is that some background music would have been nice to create a bit of an atmosphere, which I felt was lacking.

The best food in the area with superb French cooking. Portion sizes seem small but the food is rich and you always come away feeling delightfully full. The only slight disappointment is that they don't stock the local Strathearn cheese, so I passed on a cheese course and went straight to coffee

Great food, and very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed for one night in a superior double room which was very spacious. We live reasonably local so will definitely visit again for lunch or dinner.

This is an often underrated restaurant at which I've had many excellent meals over the years. Lunch today was no exception. Service was excellent, food was delicious and the settíng was lovely. A log burner was definitely required on this cold wet day!I started with a delicious pate and followed this with pork and finally a wonderful almond sticky toffee pudding. The food was excellent as were the wines.I will most definitely be back!

We decided to stop off for Sunday lunch and we were really impressed. I had the soup and then the roast beef, which I asked to be served rare. And it was, for the first time ever, and it was delicious as were the roast potatoes. W had the pickled herring and then the fish fillet, which again was excellent. Great service and a charming atmosphere. Highly recommended.

From the moment we walked through the door until we left, we were made to feel special and the food lived up to it. Fantastic all round.

Just returned from here after a really good meal. Staying at Crieff Hydro but so glad we came here for a meal tonight! Food brilliant, lovely attentive staff but soooo tasty meal. Well done .

We booked a table short before and went for a stroll in the nice town of Muthill. Although we were there before, we were welcomed a bit cold. The table we got was in the middle of the room although other tables were still free until we left. It seemed we got something nobody wanted. Anyhow, the food was excellent and we enjoyed it very much. Don't know if we did something wrong, but the service stayed like this. Even though we did not order a starter - we were not so hungry - we were paying guests.

Recommended by friends, first trip in 2017, returning 2019, Nov, Delightful decor with many healthy, delicious luncheon options

4 of us visited the Barley Bree for the first time on Friday night last week. Very interesting menu and extensive wine list. The service was good, and the staff really friendly and helpful. Meals are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I had two starters so I could avoid eating carbs - a confit duck leg and scallops - both really tasty, nicely presented and not too much on the plate, which is as I like it. We had a bottle of Bulgarian chardonnay - not something I've ever had before, but very passable indeed. Total bill including tip £180.

We have visited this establishment several times for Sunday lunch over the last few years and although slightly more expensive than an average Sunday lunch, it was worth it due to the great quality food.

This is a real gem, lovely comfortable rooms and a fantastic restaurant, Fabrice and Alison have created something really special.

I am a total fan... the chef, his wife, the cuisine, the kids, the rooms... so probably my advice doesnt count :)

Atmosphere was lovely and cosy. Food excellent and inventive. Staff friendly and welcoming. Would recommend a visit

Its been at least 2 years since we last visited. If anything the food is even better!! We all had a delicious meal of perfectly cooked scallops, Venison and an unusual Jelly with mint cream. One of my favourite places

We had a lovely evening here on Sat night. It was nice to relax in a lovely bar area before our meal with an extensive wine list to choose from. The menu offered a good choice even for a fussy eater such as myself. Once our table was ready we were taken through to the dining room. The 'amuse bouche' we had prior to our starters was the best soup I have tasted in a long time and the haggis bon bon was very tasty. Even the bread and butter were far superior to anything I have tasted recently. Mains and starters were equally tasty, and although the meals were satisfying I still managed room for desert. Would thoroughly recommend the tarte tatin. We will be back.

First visit on a recommendation of friends. Very busy but good friendly service. Quality well ahead of expectations and priced about right. Pigeon starter and venison mains all enjoyed especially as we had a full Scottish meal. Wine list comprehensive and reasonably. Plenty of parking at back. Loved it and plan to bring friends, especially those visiting Scotland. Well done for showcasing Scottish produce so well!
