Brasserie Restaurant in Perth & Kinross

We had the most lovely lunch in here followed by some lovely cocktails. The best one for me was the spicy Bloody Mary made by the very friendly Alvaro who couldn’t have been more helpful to us. Highly recommend the chicken Caesar salad with anchovies and the truffle fries!

We had dinner in the Brasserie, now called the Terrace restaurant with family during our stay at the Murraypark. We met for pre dinner drinks in the bar just off the foyer and received excellent service from the very knowledgeable and attentive bar staff. They also set up a tab that transferred to the restaurant bill We were shown to a table by the window, given menus and in short order our drinks order was taken and brought to the table. There is a good range of draft beers on offer, but they are all “premium” or “craft” and unfortunately the best lager in Scotland is not available. The beer was served appropriately chilled and was as expected Our server returned after giving us ample time to peruse and discuss the menu to take our order. She was very knowledgeable and described any aspects of the menu that we wished to query. Starters were served after an appropriate period for preparation I had the calamari for as a starter and the hanging chicken kebabs for mains. The calamari was crisp on the outside and cooked to perfection on the inside. The chicken kebabs had a good selection of peppers and mushrooms and very generous chunks of moist, tender chicken. Fries were excellent. Portions were generous and it was a challenge way beyond our appetite to attempt dessert. Throughout staff were attentive and ensured drinks were replenished when required. An excellent meal was had by everyone and we felt that when all things were considered it offered really good value given the quality of the ingredients, excellence of preparation and presentation and the friendliness of the staff.

Very embarassed as i had friends visiting Crieff, thought i would take them for lunch here fish lovely but very expensive when i went to pay cash not accepted only card BUT this wasnot stated any where. Disappointed

Great location and friendly attentive staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch with a good selection of dishes for all the family.

Average food, but acceptable, a big choice pizzas, pastas, salads, nice starters to share, we asked for some extra pitta and got 1, was very hot in the restaurant and the windows don’t open, staff pleasant enough, would go again as just average

Either they need to half the price of their food, or they need to double the standard. Seriously sub-standard meals at an extortionate price. Drinks are cheaper in London. They have a captive audience that they are fleecing. Such a shame as on holiday at a place like Crieff Hydro, it’s so much more convenient to just be able to have a good meal in the hotel complex especially with kids. We ate here on the first night of our holiday and did not go back - cancelled the rest of our bookings!

We've eaten twice at the Terrace during our stay at the Crieff Hydro. The outside decked area is a particularly nice place to eat, especially as we have been blessed with good weather. Food wise, the pasta and risotto dish were good, but at £14 costly for standard fayre. Sadly the carbonara came smothered in pepper, which over powered the flavour. I'm sure they would have sorted it, but I was too hungry to wait! The previous meal, aubergine parmigiana was pretty disappointing, and tasted slightly undercooked with no depth of flavour. The hanging kebab looked fabulous, though my hubby thought it was OK at best, which at around £20 was not a cheap meal. The staff were very pleasant, especially those out on the deck. But priced at the high end ( around 50% more than the other places we ate in area, I would have expected it to be a higher quality. For the convenience it was an OK compromise. The chips/fries, I should add, are divine... as is the Our Passion is Your Passion cocktail... give it a try if you are here, perfect for sitting n enjoying the evening sun!

The Brassiere is a good looking restaurant and the service was really nice. However, the quality of the food did not match that. It was totally tasteless and bland - my husband a pasta lover did not even finish his king prawn pasta as it did not taste nice. It is a shame and disappointing. The place is quite expensive and you expect more food quality.

So booked a table in the restaurant for a early lunch yesterday. The food is good but very pricey. The staff are friendly and helpful and couldn't fault them. I would say that the Bannoffee pudding was lacking in banana and not the best pud I have ever had. Nice surroundings once you find it. Not sure I will be rushing back. The lift and front foyer need attention to detail definitely need a hoover during the day. Sorry.

If you are staying at the hotel for a week it’s disappointing that the main menu never changes . On the occasions we had anything pizza based it always had a “soggy bottom” if you are going to do pizza it needs to be crisp on the bottom, so very disappointed. The staff were very helpful and accommodating so made up for the food. We have been going to the Hydro for a number of years and always enjoyed our time there. we realise we are in difficult times but please try and keep the standards up .

We ate here on the first night of our visit and found the team to be very welcoming, friendly, efficient and customer focused. We were seated quickly on arrival and our drinks orders taken immediately and fulfilled with minimal wait. My wife chose the lasagna with a side of truffle and Parmesan fires while I opted for the sole from the specials menu. Both were delicious and well priced. Would happily recommend a visit here while staying at Crieff Hydro.

It's called the Terrace but signed the Brasserie so well done if you find your way to it. And it will be worth the adventure because the food is great, the service too and the setting lovely.

Come to Crieff hydro every year sometimes a couple of times a year. Was happy to see the menu had eventually changed in the brasserie restaurant. Had pre booked as it’s always busy and can sometimes be difficult to get a table. Our waitress was lovely and very efficient so no problems in that area. The menu although improved and much better choices still think the starters and desserts could be better. We had 3 haddock and chips and 1 burger and chips all were served quickly and decent portions and no problems. The main issue we had was the dessert. We ordered two fudgy brownies and I can honestly say it’s the worst brownie I have ever tasted. It was so rich but not a nice rice like after one mouthful I had to leave it so was a complete waste of money. No one checked to see if it was ok or we enjoyed it. And it was supposed to have salted caramel ice cream the ice cream tasted of absolutely nothing and overall for the price was extremely disappointed. Next time we go to Crieff we are going to try piccolo or yann’s as I have heard lots of good things about these places.

Great service and good food varied menu. Clean modern decor did not make a booking but was given a table not too busy.

Relaxed atmosphere for meals with exceptional service. Good menu well varied to suit most tastes and caters for a wide variety of food allergies

Just a bit dull. Couldn’t get excited about anything about this place. Menu was a bit boring. Food was very ‘meh’ and it was pricey enough for the food to be significantly better than it actually was. Must be better options.

Had dinner last week - five of us - and it was uniformly excellent, from the quality and taste of the food to the warm, efficient and attentive, personal service, from Ceby. Thank you Ceby, and also your other waitress colleague. So nice to feel looked after.

Had a few lunches and dinners here during our stay at the Hydro.We were always well looked after by friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and hotel facilities.Excellent homemade soups, wonderful mains, puddings to die for.Found a superb wine - 'Los Intocables' Black Malbec on the wine list - if you like rich reds it's a stunner.

Just had dinner in the Brasserie restaurant. Couldn’t believe my ears when Daniel came to our table and said that they had a large booking who needed our table so could we finish up in the next 5 to 10 minutes. I was in shock. We’d only been there for 90 minutes. I called Daniel back. And said that we weren’t notified that there was a time limit. He said typically up to 2 hours. So I said we had 30 more minutes. My two sons, both with Autism, started to get flustered and anxious because they were now being rushed. Daniel couldn’t give a ####. I asked to speak to the manager and he said he was the manager. I think the management at Crieff really need to review their manager selection. He had no empathy. He had no answers to my complaints. All I got was a blank face. I’d have gotten more response complaining to the table we were sat at. Unbelievable. My sons were very distressed when we got back to the room. They thought they had done something wrong and that’s why we were being asked to leave. The company need to review Daniel and review his management capabilities because in my opinion he has none.

16 in our group and originally booked for 4 x 4 people. A phone call during the afternoon confirmed the booking for 16 and that we had all been moved onto 1 table - excellent service

Nice restaurant food excellent and staff first class.decor very pleasant a bit expensive but the food made up for it.

Good meal in this busy restaurant. The staff were excellent and the food pretty good. The monk fish was especially delicious.

The food choice and quality is great with superb service . It overlooks the grass area with Chess ,Connect Four and Wooden building blocks so ideal for young children to go out and run around before their food arrives.

Before leaving for our break I read the reviews and there were a few negative ones which was a bit worrying.

We were staying in the hotel and as in all outlets the servers are friendly and charming. At the same time, the dishes do not follow the pricing and the servers while friendly lack experience and supervision. Also cocktails are water down

The Caesar salad was okay. I wasn’t sure there was salmon in it... until I took a few bites and realized what looks like tomato is actually small bits of smoked salmon.

Food selection good and excellent for our family of 10 who were catered for well, even though we hadn’t booked. Service at table was very good and food was all cooked well. Particularly enjoyed the fillet steaks. Chicken breast in jus was very tasty but the portion size was on the small side. Would definitely go back and would recommend for family.

Service was good and the meal for 14 people arrived in good time and was delicious. The extended table was not too close to other guests.

We had a table for 13, including young children. It took 55 minutes from arriving in the restaurant for the first of our food to arrive. We asked for the children's meals to be brought out first, they were brought out last. The food was good when it came but they need to speed up service.

Excellent food in this restaurant. They use local products where possible and the quality is superb. Everyone enjoyed their meals

better atmosphere and standard but very poor value for money with good cafe standard food at 5star prices.

My wife and I both had fillet steaks so tender they melted in your mouth. Highly recommend the new Malbec wine to compliment recommended by Loreta who is very efficient and friendly making her customers feel at home. Always a wonderful experience here.

Dinner was included as part of our stay and was very good. This restaurant has a relaxed feel for families but still suits couples and groups. Good selection on the menu. The haggis appetiser was delicious, as was the haddock and chips.

Don't eat hear unless you like noise and children disrupting your meal. Also don't eat here if you want to have a conversation. There is a low ceiling and the noise echoes round the room. The staff and food are very good.

It was very busy (Easter week) but the staff were very good. Polite efficient and helpful. The food was O.K. but nothing special and I would not hurry to eat here again, although it may be down to how busy it was with families and young children.

We had one dinner in the Brasserie - the salmon dish, the duck dish and the steak were all outstanding. What is so good about the Brasserie is that the adults can enjoy these top quality dishes yet the children can get meals in the same restaurant which are just right for them. Our other two dinners were in the Piccolo, an Italian restaurant which is part of the Brasserie. Again the food was excellent and the children's dishes were just what they love. Another point to make about these restaurant is that the staff were really fabulous. A Hungarian waiter in the Brasserie was so helpful and an Italian waitress in the Piccolo was so kind to the children. I've never seen children's pizzas made to look like a face - superb! A piece of advice - you really do have to book well in advance.

My wife and I had the cote de boeuf excellent quality cooked on the bone and carved served with two different sauces and all the trimmings. I also like the new salmon dish with mussels. Always great service considering its very busy. Well done to the kitchen and restaurant staff.

Delicious food and excellent service! Would highly recommend. I had fish which was cooked to perfection. My son and husband really enjoyed their food too and we would definitely return.

Feels like a cafe, food not warm and very bland, not sure how you can get fish and chips so wrong ,overpriced for what you get, non alcoholic beers overpriced , smallest cheesecake I have ever come across, and bill had drinks added in error which was fixed when we pointed it out .

While the Brasserie name is not attractive to all, the restaurant is a useful alternative to the formal dining. The style is casual and friendly, you can be comfortable with children here.

The fish and chips we had was lovely but I found the seating a little bit schoolish ....staff were very good!

Excellent food and service. Good brasserie menu and wine list. Served with a polite and professional manner.

Had a family meal in this restaurant last night and my two year old niece was served RAW chicken nuggets. Thankfully after eating half of one we noticed it was completely raw inside and brought it to the attention of staff who brought another portion out and made a quick apology. When we received our bill we were shocked to find we had been charged for the chicken. No apology or goodwill gesture was offered and no one seemed to care that they had possibly poisoned my niece. No incident report was done and no one thought to check on her? Shocking service, none of the staff seemed to care and customer service was non existent. You can tell there are deep cultural issues throughout the full hotel all the staff seemed disengaged and you are nothing but a number. Also, the prices were extortionate for completely average food. I've had better meals in a pub for a 3rd of the price. Very surprised that no details were taken to check and see if my niece was okay? Will be passing this incident on to food standards agency but please do not risk letting your child eat here as there are clearly no procedures in place and staff don't care!

We ate both nights in the Brasserie and found the food of a high quality and the staff very pleasant all our group 4 audults and 2 children enjoyed the experience and if we were to return would book the Brasserie again.

We had a lovely lunch as usual. My burger and chips were cooked to perfection. The other members of our group had different orders but each enjoyed their meals. The only thing i missed was the french fries which were not available (the fries were the best ivecever tasted). I hope they bring them back soon. All in all a lovely lunch.

We had a lovely meal . The decor is lovely. It's not cramped like some restaurants. The staff were pleasant and the food was lovely and not overpriced. I would recommend this restaurant.

I've eaten several times in the Brasserie over the last few months and have no complaints at all. Good variety of choice on the menu and service was very good.

Nice place to eat with good range of quality food on offer as well as beers and wines. Good position in the hydro

We were staying for just one night at Crieff Hydro and chose to eat at the Brasserie Restaurant - family of four including two teenagers. The food was excellent and suited all of our tastes and the service was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble; I chose to have two starters, my son wanted a double portion of a children’s meal - everything we requested was given without any quibble or query. Yes, the meal cost a bit more than we would normally pay but as this was a family treat, we didn’t grudge a penny and the experience was well worth the price.

Had a lovely family celebration here with our grandson on his 1st Birthday we all enjoyed our meals. The restaurant staff were very attentive and the restaurant itself was very family orientated. We had a selection including the beef stroganoff, the slow cooked lamb and a pan seared cod dish. All were very enjoyable as was The birthday boy’s choice of cheeses pasta and garlic bread. We also had some nice desserts although my first choice wasn’t available. Would certainly go back again.

Nice estate and area. Food was nice but restaurant very noise, service was just lacking. Other places to get lunch nearby, but worth seeing the estate. Free on-site car park helpful.

Visited here today with family. Lovely outlook if seated near the windows and the restaurant has a modern feel. The staff were friendly and took our orders promptly but the food took a wee while to arrive and the restaurant was quite. My starter of pate was delicious and couldn’t be faulted. The French onion soup however was overpowered by herbs which was a shame as it looked and smelt delicious.

Booked in here at 7pm, it took 30 minutes before we got our order placed, then another 30 mins before our food arrived. It didnt seem that busy either.

Was with our family of five. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Was busy so service was satisfactory. Compared to a few other restaurants in the hotel, I felt this was a little more fancy and pricey. Food was tasty portions could be bigger.

The food was spot on a great steak and enjoyed by both my wife and I, and when next in the area will eat here again.

We went up for dinner one night taking the complimentary shuttle between the MurrayPark hotel and the Crieff Hydro. The restaurant was busy with lots of family groups. The menu was nice. I had the mushroom risotto and my friend had an appetizer only. It was a good change of pace, but perhaps a bit pretentious.

Captive audience in Crieff Hydro for the Brasserie. It is, as always very good. Needs a change in menu though as its difficult to keep coming back to the same old same old, especially with so many other little cafe/restaurants locally serving excellent fayre.

Lovely meals served here. Choices have improved since we were here last which was a real bonus. Service was really good and staff were pleasant and attentive.

This was an ok meal nothing great but ticked all the boxes however the waiter called Benedict was just such a nice person and really made an effort with my family

Found the waiting staff lacking in interaction. Just basic taking order bringing food and clearing away. Little evidence of any more than basic interaction. We could have been asked ‘ are you enjoying your stay’ or ‘ what’s the occasion’ as we were a larger group who had stated when we booked that it was for a birthday. Maybe some additional training on interacting with visitors could be given to staff.

Had dinner at 5pm and it was still busy. Noise level a little high. Food was lovely and service was quick. Staff were polite but.not as friendly as the rest of the restaurants on-site.

This eatery is welcoming & the staff were very attentive. The quality & quantity of the food itself was amazing. Definitely recommend a visit.

Thought this would be a good place for a wedding anniversary dinner. Very disappointed. Food OK but not fantastic. Had to pay extra for vegetables. Small glass of wine £6.95 large one £9.50! Kids running around, very casual.

Very good service and a reasonable vegetarian choice. Very noisy due to low ceilings but otherwise nice atmosphere.

The prix fixe is good value. Lunch on both days was quite nice and the service was pleasant. The chicken leg is good as is the roast salmon.

We had an evening meal (dinner) at the Brasserie Restaurant while staying at Crieff Hydro. The service was speedy and the food was excellent. I found the location comfortable and relaxed. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Unimaginative and over priced. Pretty poor really. The sister hotel, Murraypark is a much better choice.

Only ate there the first night of our stay. Service was very good . Food was served quickly but didn’t like the matchstick chips and fish was a bit greasy.

The food was delicious & the service was quick & attentive but not intrusive. The shared dessert platter was a joy to look at & tasted amazing

You walk in with certain expectations knowing you are in a 4* hotel.

It was great and quick service, the staff were polite and fast , the food was very good and all to a high quality, the only thing I disliked was how the menu carried in language like the start of a dish was in English then it swapped around for the end but that’s me just being picky , would definitely recommend a visit

Lovely place to sit and chill with a wine or beer Family can come in too we seen Great place to relax and unwind

There was 21 of us visitng and staying at the hotel. We enjoyed a delicious 2 course lunch in the Brasserie. Staff were attentive and polite.

Lunch was just a starter of cured salmon which was quite delicious. Very attentive staff make this a lovely place to eat. It is a restaurant that caters for all ages with all the attendant noise. It adds to the special atmosphere and is easy for families with young children.

I had the Roquefort Salad starter that was very nice and the local Haunch of Venison as Mains and that was really tender and tasty. Iced water served at table was a nice touch

Just returned from a visit and I feel it was over prixed for the quality received. My fish was nice till strarted finding bones si didn't finish it and at £14 a bit of a disappointment. Both my wife and daughters meals were average with the potatoes quite hard. The worse bit is the service we were shown to our table and given the menus nearly 15 minutes later the waiter cane to take our food order we asked could we get a drink first very poor attention from a place in a supposedly good hotel plus also pricey concidering service.

Decent bottle of red, wonderful baked cheese starter. Mains were delicious and the deserts were wonderful - glad it was...

Great food for all of the family, something to suit everyone in our large family party. Staff could not have...

Had a very enjoyable meal in The Brasserie. Quick service. Very tasty food.Good selection.Staff were very friendly and helpful.

This restaurant is lovely and Modern comfortable surroundings, well priced delicious food, Impeccable service, light music in background, suitable for...

We had a very tasty evening meal, the venison and the beer battered fish, with a lovely raspberry and basil...

Great food at a reasonable price. Service are very nice but can be slow. The menu has a reasonable choice.

A 'does what it says on the tin' expectation was exceeded by a really nice bit of cod in a bisque. The burger of my partner was decent. Mackerel starter had plenty of flavour. A nice surprise from a hotel restaurant.

Went here for dinner tonight and cannot fault one thing. Fresh cold water served straight away. The daiquiris were fantastic both strawberry and passion fruit. The food menu is pretty good apart from the desserts would like to see a chocolate fudge cake or cheesecake on it. The portions of food was excellent the staff were so consistent polite and available. We had the burger and fries which there was lots of fries and a big juicy burger also the mayo was delicious on the side. The fish was so fresh and cooked beautifully would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Can’t fault this restaurant and staff meal was superb staff lovely would highly recommend this restaurant

the food is ok here but overpriced for what you get. Kids enjoyed their kids menu meals but we were left wanting..

Waited about 40 mins to be served! Waiting staff very pleasant but “rushed off their feet!” Main course cod was nicely cooked, plate and veg not hot! Overall fairly uninspiring dish! Enjoyed creme brûlée and cheese board!

food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpfull, would highly recommend everyone who staying in hydro to eat here, Thank you brasserie team

Had my birthday meal here, I had my booking originally in for 7.00 but decided to change on day to 7.30 to which I was told the earliest they could do was 8.30! They managed to speak with restaurant who got us in for 7.45.Got there and the booking was in for two people when I had originally booked for 4! Thankfully there were a few spaces for a table of 4 which made me wonder what all the fuss was about changing my booking to 7.30.....Menu - good choice took me a while deciding what to eat. I went for pâté 2 of the group went for scallops, have to say they were not impressed for £10.95 starter you would expect maybe 2/3 good sized....this honestly looked like they had cut one scallop into two pieces and put on plate. Then you look at the other starters like the king prawn one, had lots on the plate. Very disappointing. When we said to the waitress about the scallops her answer well they always look like that, said she would go speak to chef but never came back which I found rather rude. Lastly steaks ordered sirloin but fillet came however couldn't fault it, was really tasty and cooked to perfection.They also gave me a complimentary wine for the steak mix up.Due to these issues I don't think we will be back.

A very good meal.We had an excellent table on the lower floor at the back, oval, ideal for the 8 of us.Kids menu very good, garlic bread and spaghetti bolognese receiving rave reviews from The Minions.Adult starters very good, crab mayonnaise well received.Steaks for mains, very good, fillet being rated far higher than the sirloin.Overall very good and worth a visit, a little bit on the expensive side.

I had chicken liver pate/parfait, chicken leg with bacon casserole and lemon tart with raspberry sorbet and a passion fruit bellini. All excellent and no quibbles. Could even watch kids playing in garden from our table. Highly recommend!

Nice tasty food very well presented staff very pleasant and helpful. I had the lamb which is something that I’m not in the way of having. The meat was very tender and came with purple carrot etc. If I had any criticism it would be that the navarine of lamb would have been much better with more jus . Sorry I don’t have any photographs as forgot to take my phone.

Good varied choice. Good service. Very enjoyable. Booking recommended. Fillet steak cooked to perfection

We attended the brasserie after being unable to get a suitably timed table in the Meikle restaurant as part of our stay at Crieff Hydro and the room service we got also came from the Brasserie. We both love steak and the steaks here were ok... not 'write home' good and not terrible by any stretch, just a bit...pale and not so tasty. The service was fine and not over-attentive so no qualms there, however it was so busy it was slightly reminiscent of a production line!

This was the fifth or sixth time that we have visited The Brasserie at The Crieff Hydro and we were not disappointed. Despite a late evening booking, we had good service and really good food. My wife sampled the French onion soup and their special of beef bourguignon whilst I tried their terrine de campagna followed by the Bandol bouillabaisse. All dishes were extremely tasty and served piping hot. We also sampled their cocktail menu, which as usual was superb. You really can't go wrong eating here - the food is always good, there's always a good selection for most if not all palates and they always look after their customers.

£15 for 2 toasties very expensive.Kids meals came with frozen vegetables - would expect fresh vegetables from this establishment.Left alone most of the meal and had to try and find a waiter for more drinks.Heard better reviews about Childrens High Tea. However, lunch not great and expensive - would not return.

Good food and very efficient service. Good choice of food on the menu, I had fish and my friend had the chicken dish, both were delicious.

We had a few drinks in the Brasserie restaurant. Large cocktail menu. Cocktails were delicious and well presented.We had to go looking for someone to serve us. Staff were pleasant.

We visited The Brasserie on a weekday evening when we were staying locally with family. We booked a table as it gets quite busy in the evening particularly during school holidays.On arrival we were welcomed and shown to our table. The restaurant is bright and functional though with hard floors and nothing on the walls to deaden sound it does get noisy.Once seated we were given menus and the daily specials explained. Our drinks order was tajken and served very soon after.We opted to skip starters and go straight to mains. I chose the haddock with French fries as did several others in our party.Meals were served promptly giving allowance for their preparation. All dishes were nicely presented and portion sizes were good. The batter on the haddock was crisp, not overly oily and just the right thickness. Additional sauces were offered and brought to the table as requested.After our main course was cleared we were offered dessert and for those that opted in they were promptly served Service was attentive without being intrusive and drinks refills were offered when requiredWe enjoyed our meal in The Brasserie and found it to good value for money. Would we return, probably, as it is better than most other options in Crieff and the views are stunning when the weather is fine.

There were all the choices of children's favourites on the menu. For example, tomato soup, burger, chicken nuggets etc. which was a delight for my grandchildren. The choice of food for adults was excellent as was the presentation. We enjoyed every mouthful of our meal.
