Cafe Biba in Perth & Kinross

Went to this place yesterday whilst visiting Enchanted Forest. Apart from one lovely lady with blonde hair who was very sweet, the other two female members of staff were rude and disinterested. Half the tables were empty throughout the whole duration yet they complained we firstly hadn't booked and secondly that only 4 out of 5 of our party were eating. The food was dreadful...9 pounds for a dry jacket potato which was dry and burnt and served with 3 leaves of lettuce. Won't be visiting again, such a shame the staff and food were so bad.

There's a varied menu of sandwiches, toasties, soup, hot meals, snacks ... and a fabulous cake counter! I have eaten here several times and will happily go back. I recommend the peppermint slices!

Exceptionally friendly staff. Decent menu, reasonably priced and nice atmosphere. Have visited before several years ago and would definitely return.

We came up to Pitlochry on a cold snowy day and popped in for some lunch to set us up for a day out walking. Simple, but tasty food, which kept us going all afternoon. Staff were friendly and attentive. First time trying this café, and would come back again. Hope to see you soon.

Friendly staff, tastless disappointing salmon pasta unfortunately. Lacked any flavour, perhaps we just got them on a bad day but we wouldnt return.

Quite when we called in and 1st impression was get out quick.. But it was dog friendly and sold pizza so we gave it a go.. Pizza out of this world create your own freshly made and cooked. They need to advertise the pizza betterit was yummy.. We'd go back defiantly

Excellent good, very friendly and helpful staff and great atmosphere.

Was there tonight was supposed to take my dog he was too tired. Food was great Service was great Thoroughly enjoyed it

Lunch was fine, not a lot, but that's probably what you can expect with a 'wee bowl'. Nice place and good service.

The place was quiet, so we thought we’d go in for tea / coffee and some cake only to be told it was “meals only” despite them advertising it on their menu outside. The place looks pretty rundown anyway and judging by the lack of people inside it’s for good reason. Avoid.

Excellent place & very cozy. Great food.

A fine establishment with reasonable prices and lovely hospitality. We stopped in to rest a bit and have a small bite Two appetizers and two beers for £30.

Brilliant food and staff were very nice

Been using Cafe Biba, for many years since travelling from Cornwall... Try it.

Should have known better when there was space on a busy Saturday. The most expensive cheap frozen pizza ever, no draught beers just bottles, menus looked as if they'd been walked on, never changed them or wiped down . Pretty hard up looking interior, dim lighting. Cheerful service though!

We had cream of broccoli soup and Late, staff were very helpful. We were offered water for the dog and a treat. So yes very dog friendly and very helpful and polite staff. Nice soup and coffee. Recommend.

I have to say, the best Calamari I've ever had, followed by the best Venison Sausages I've ever had too.

Don’t Judge BIBA before going inside,it’s doesn’t look much attractive from the rode but inside is amazing,When I went immediately hostess attended me and given the table,it was quite full in that time.Have a great wide range of manu for lunch.Pizza , pasta,burgers ,sandwiches,salad , specials everything they have….absolutely value for money….have some local beers as well. Service was really really good Absolutely 5* for them.🥇🥇🥇

Fast service and nice atmosphere, we really enjoyed sitting with a cup of cappuccino ❤️Very friendly staff, we liked it

Great coffee and great food. Got the beef curry from the specials board and it was the best one I’ve ever had.

Amazing place to eat! For the price and portion sizes. The staff was really sweet and helpful. I'm celiac and when I ordered pancakes I forgot to tell them to make sure that they are not only gluten free but also free from cross-contamination. They made new pancakes for me. They have a full gluten free menu and the gluten options were also really good.

Loved the food and the staff were amazing with both my dog and my 18 month old, who had built up energy from a long drive.

Brilliant Scottish all day breakfast lovely friendly service thanks

If you have a gluten intolerance don't have the chips on the gluten free menu. Made my daughter violently sick. Staff did not seem to care. Spoilt our meal out. If you are not gluten intolerant food is nice.

Don't enter if you don't have to. Ranked the lowest in all respects there is. Repulsive food, inedible, not fresh!

Great Scottish brunches, and fantastic pancakes. Very friendly service too, and reasonably priced. A great find 🙂

Very nice place, friendly people, recommended!

Close to parking, very friendly and attentive service. Good little dishes without pretensions, but good and plentiful. The XXL pancakes are to die for with an extra whipped cream mousse. Apparently homemade dishes. Nice, fairly typical setting. I recommend!

If you're in the mood for a real Scottish breakfast, this is the place for you. At the entrance you get a really grumpy welcome, probably due to the rainy weather. It seems like you're disturbing. Since we were the first in the morning, I could still smell the slight smell of urine, which was probably caused by the use of the same mop for the entire store, including the yard and latrines as well as all surfaces. The streaks from wiping the tables haven't disappeared even after an hour's stay, but upon closer inspection they appear very greasy and from days gone by. I would recommend replacing the mop fluid or cleaning rag from 1967. Coffee is served with grounds and costs a whopping £4.35. Artificial flowers and things from everywhere round off the ambience mercilessly. All in all, this is exactly what we were looking for. Food only got 3 stars because the remorseful brown sauce was missing and the self-dissolving skin of the disgusting sausage that they call sausage here was still hanging nicely burnt on the phosphate tube. A waitress was nice and tried to serve a lactose-free alternative to butter so that I wouldn't have to sit there. 5 Out of 5, would recommend for some Scottish breakfast experience! (P.s.: although the chocolate machine was already processing the violent breakfast crime, we decided not to visit the local toilet.)

Friendly staff and some nice local beers. Good food for the price and child friendly. Good selection of cakes but didn’t have time to try some. Maybe next time.

Quick and friendly service. Food very good

Nice small restaurant in the city center, good foot and fair prices

Came here today on our way back home for a quick bite. The dark haired waitress with glasses was very miserable and unwelcoming. Pulled a face when we said we weren't ready to order, we were trying to keep the kids happy and hadn't looked at the menu. Ordered the chilli and rice, the rice had very clearly been microwaved- it didn't have the taste of normal boiled rice and all the grains were split, chilli was bland. Husband didn't enjoy his toastie and the kids meals were okay. £46 for the lot which is a bit steep.

This was the second time we have visited Cafe Biba and once again we were very impressed. The staff are very friendly and engaging. The menu is one of the largest selections of food we have seen and there is also a specials board. There is something for every taste. My wife didn't want too much to eat so went for the Lentil Soup and I had the Chilli & Rice with a portion of chips on the side. Both were very tasty and filling. We highly recommend Biba either for a simple coffee and pancakes or a full meal.

This place is on the main road of Pitlochry. The the food was quite good in taste, and arrived without being unnecessarily delayed. Our server was actually quite courteous and fast. However - the lady at the bar, who seemed to control everything, was quite curt and insulting to the curstomers! I do not know what their usual timings are, but the day we were there, she made someone close the restaurant before it was 7pm even! Considering that all the other 3 restaurants in close vicinity are open and serving customers till past 9 pm, this was surprising. (We left without getting any desert, and went to the CoOp for buying some chocolate off the shelf just to finish our meal). The rating here would have been like 2 stars if it wasn't for our actual server who we could see was trying his absolute best to do everything quickly and courteously. (We heard him ask this lady why they were closing at 7!)

Delicious, freshly cooked food. Good size portion. We had venison sausages and haggis. Apple pie and cream for dessert. Good selection of beer. Service friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely little cafe, perfect for a quick and delicious bite to eat. The staff were very kind and very attentive, we felt really well taken care of. Thank you so much!

Waiting staff did not engage or make us feel welcome in any way. Not a vast choice of food on the menu and what we chose was pretty poor. Leek and potato soup (a special!) was watery and tasteless. Fresh Scottish haddock looked as if it came out of a packet. Chips were nothing special and peas were out of a tin. Was glad when meal was over!

Popped in for a breakfast me and wife both got toasties. The toasties were both good and the service was great. On a plus the toilets were clean which shows people care. So would recommend

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Our waitress, a blonde woman very cheery, was absolutely lovely as was the young girl that took our payment at the end, food was wonderful and service impeccable. We shall be back!!! Excellent work Cafe Biba.

Great food and ambience and very lovely food

Great location on Pitlochry main street not far from train station. Good selection of freshly made food. Caters for gluten free, vegetation and vegan. Friendly staff.

Pretentious. Trying to keep the tourists happy with 'fine' descriptions of ordinary food. Even simple rice is over cooked. However the house manager will justify everything. They do have rather decent tea.

Food great, Bolognese and scampi, quick and pleasant service. Bit shocked at price of ginger beer can at £3.55!

Have been before to this venue and the food and service was great, but this last visit the the food was mediocre and the service was not great. It only takes one member of staff, a senior member, to be rude to customers, and this is what new members of staff are learning from, not good.

The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

We have holidayed in Pitlochry many times and we have always eaten at Cafe Biba. Unfortunately, this year, the quality of the food and the attitude of the staff has gone downhill. We ordered the filled breakfast rolls .. the bacon was completely tasteless and the brown sauce (served in a sachet) was just sweet and flavourless. To top it all off, the woman who served us was not very friendly, just miserable as if she didn't want to be there. Sadly we will not be returning to Cafe Biba. There are plenty of far friendlier restaurants in Pitlochry.

Sorry...did not visit this cafe.

Friendly atmosphere, varied menu, love the options of smaller portions - see "wee bowls". Recommend the very tasty wee bowl of (locally caught!)Haggis, neeps & tatties. Good value, would go again. No on-site parking but main car closed by. Good toilets.

Good restaurant, extensive menu, good cuisine, very warm and friendly welcome, nice atmosphere to recommend.

Understaffed so had to wait a while to be shown to a table. Once seated, we were served by a woman who was miserable and made us feel uncomfortable as she came across as if she couldn't be bothered. We only had tea and scones, tea tasted cheap, and the scones were tasteless and served with cheap jam out of a paper disposable pill cup?? Very expensive for the quality. Never going back there.

Food was nice and the staff were lovely

Had a scone, straight from the oven, and a cappuccino. Enjoyed both. Very reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Will be back!

It was our second visit to BIBA this week. My wife Liz has a dislike of certain herbs and she fancied the Bolognese but it contained herbs. We asked what they were. They said basil & oregano. Liz wasn't sure so our lovely server, Suzanne, offered to get a taster bowl for Liz to try. She has never been offered that service before anywhere else. That is a real credit to BIBA.

Nice cafe to have a bite, they're meals are ok but the service is great!

Very much tourist-led in terms of the prices. Staff were really friendly and chatty but the food and drink were pretty basic for the money. The tuna baguette (the bread bit at least) was a ‘bake at home’ one you can pick up at 4 for a quid in Tesco but was almost £12. Cost £50 for 3 of us including soft drinks (the Diet Pepsi was so watery it didn’t taste of anything, even before the ice took effect). Drop the prices by 25% and we’ll talk.

Vegan pizza and lots of clearly marked veg options! Lovely service and conservatory seating area.

We ate pizza. Better to choose something else

Very pleased with food, service and value for money. Had a breakfast one morning and returned another day for lunch. Both meals were tasty and we'll presented on the plate. Staff most accomodating, no request was a bother and all service was with a smile and brief chat. Bright airy restaurant area with clean tables and cutlery provided individually to each customer, not well handled bucket of forks and knives dumped on table as in some eateries. Dog friendly with fresh water dish provided to table. Definitely worth a visit for a meal. 10/10 for staff front of house and kitchen.

Excellent food with quick service. Fresh plated meal served quickly and efficiently. Good selection of meals and desserts, with coffee and cakes also available.

Delicious food. Very nice help. Very cozy atmosphere.

Great food, smoothies and milkshakes but didn't enjoy the salad.

The food was fine, but the staff were so rude! I was going to leave as I was worried what she was going to do to my food, but my husband persuaded me stay. I suggested a change of staff could improve the atmosphere.

Cosy atmosphere polite attentive staff

Beautiful place in Stunning Pitlochry. 😍

What a lovely little Café. We had sandwiches, scones, tea and beer. The beautiful Scottish sunshine helped. See you next time, Cafe Biba. J

We ordered the baguettes with fries and salad. The food didn't taste good, the fries were unsalted and the "salad" consisted of two dry leaves, a cucumber and a tomato. The service was very friendly but the atmosphere in the restaurant was very cool.

Service was absolutely top notch minus one who took our payment at the end, thankfully that was our only interaction with that member of staff. But the woman that served us could not have been nicer and was so friendly. We went when it was quiet but the place is nice enough and can imagine a nice buzz if it was busier. The food was unfortunately average which was especially disappointing considering the prices. The saving grace of this meal was the service, honestly cannot praise enough the woman who served us.

Cafe Biba is an excellent cafe and restaurant in Pitlochry. There is a wide and varied menu and tasty tray bakes to suit all appetites at different times throughout the day. The food is very tasty and there is something to suit all palates. The owners and staff are very friendly and give excellent service. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely food and has a wide choice. Cute smaller place . Some of the staff were lovely but some seemed a bit grumpy . But I wouldn’t let it put us off going again.

Wonderful service and atmosphere. What can I say, we were late Sunday diners and Cafe Biba kindly seated us and we unknowingly stayed almost half an hour after they closed , but the lovely staff never made us hurry or leave. How refreshing and kind in today's day and age. We feel awful now realising they closed at 7pm so we shall be tipping doubly next time we visit. Thank you ever so much for staying late for us, we'll certainly be coming back here every time

Had a lovely meal with friends. Dog friendly.

Pleasant service, no problem when I asked for a chilled glass for my red wine. #GoodCustomerService

Great burger and chips with fantastic service.

We had a lovely meal here and the staff were very lovely and the food was delicious! We had dinner this time but we will definitely be back to try lunch and breakfast!

This is one of the best Cafés in Pitlochry. We have been in multiple times and it's always been great. There burgers and macaroni are both excellent. We have also been in just for a drink while waiting on friends and there smoothies and milkshakes were very nice. Would highly recommend. The staff are always very cheerful and it's alot better value for money than most other places in town.

lovely restaurant, delicious food , smoked haddock fishcakes were spot on

Went here for lunch when we were visiting pitochry. Took us a while to find somewhere where we both fancied the food.. I had the special venison sausage with mash and veg and my sister had the fishcake starter. Both were excellent and we indulged in two of their amazing cakes too. Really enjoyed.

Cute place and very friendly staff!!

Excellent food, and served in around 10 mins from order. Staff friendly and courteous. Photos show our lunch. I had the haggis dish, my partner the goats cheese and black pudding. Good value (£10 per person) Atmosphere is hard to rank objectively but the restaurant was clean and well presented.

Excellent no-nonsense food. Delicious. Great staff. Good menu and an option to choose larger or smaller portions size.

The restaurant is very cozy and has a lovely conservatory (probably need booking). The food was delicious too. We ordered the soup of the day and chefs special’s salmon spaghetti that came with the tastiest garlic bread. Although it was quite pricey but the portion was filling. Staff were nice but could have been a little more attentive as we waited a long time to order.

We went before the tsunami wave of tourists hit the area parked around the back it was a wet day, walked inside lovely kept, clean smelling restaurant. Drinks were cold and the food was hot, service was excellent pleasant atmosphere and clean toilets

Just love this place! Been here once before and returned today with our kids, such a good varied menu, even for my picky kids!! Lovely staff and the food was delicious, thank you!

Nice friendly atmosphere and staff only had cheese toasty but was very nice

Lovely quaint atmosphere. Delicious food. Great selection.

Lovely quaint little cafe.( not so little) Varied menu. We choose baguettes . They were freshly baked. Ward and soft with delicious fillings. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. . Definitely one to remember. Toilets old but spotlessly clean.

Very tasty meal. Coffee good. Staff happy and friendly. Relaxed atmosphere in the cafe. Would highly recommend a visit here.

Beautifuly cooked breakfast amazing, excellent customer service, very relaxed

Toasty warm, and very tasty food. The pancakes are especially good. It's much easier to get a table because it's a little out of town - work the walk.

Fantastic food and brilliant service from the staff. Dog friendly.

Went here with the family after a trip to Pitlochry bungee jump. We got there late and they still took us thankfully. We all ordered different meals and everyone enjoyed it.

Lovely place, very dog friendly. Food was flavorful.

Personal stets freundlich. Leckeres regionales Essen. Preis völlig in Ordnung. Kehren schon fast jährlich ein.

We visited here between Christmas and New Year. It was snowing heavily outside and we popped in for lunch to escape the weather. The lady seated us very quickly and was helpful and pleasant. We sat in the main seating area and the far end next to a window so that we could see outside. The menu was really extensive and reasonably priced. I got a hot chocolate, lemonade, cheese and ham toaster and chips. My partner got a coffee and blueberry pancakes with bacon and maple sauce. The food was delicious and came quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will be returning. Delightful place, good value for money, great food and friendly staff. Thank you. Would recommend.

We got a seat no problem for quick lunchtime bite en route north! The home made chicken broth was a generous helping rather salty but heartwarming with slice brown bread & butter! We will be back again one day !

I had Haggis, Tatties & Neeps for my New Year's Day lunch. It was cooked perfectly & hot on arrival. I didn't have long to wait & I had a cup of good tea with him.

Everything was absolutely great. We have had one little slip in regards to food but othwr than than all was ok.

Food is good from what I have tried. It is a quiet wee place and the food comes pretty quickly

We always use Pitlochry for a break going up to Nairn. Here at Cafe Biba you'll enjoy one of the best Scottish breakfast's. Today I choose the "Grand Slam" and it didn't disappoint at all. 👍👍👍
