Cafe Kisa in Perth & Kinross

Made a special autumn trip to Cafe Kisa for coffee and cake. It’s been a while and the old Cafe Kisa we once knew is now a fabulous new Cafe Kisa restaurant and coffee venue, same street, just across the road. Beautiful venue, excellent staff, warming tasty coffee, yummiest scones ever. Wish we were staying for lunch, though it is always best to book. Having mobility issues I always dread, often fear, having to visit the special access facilities. Hallelujah, stunning, great care and consideration has been given to visitors to this facility, thank you. My husband managed to climb the stairs to the toilets and his comment was - amazing. Worth the climb. Cafe Kisa is such a great asset to this lovely village, lucky locals. We hope to visit again soon as the food we saw being served was truly mouthwatering.

We were on Holiday this week and had lunch three times, twice the two of us and once with our friends at Cafe Kisa amazing best ever lunch in the hole of Perthshire area evening melas are also amazing just to try the breakfast will do this on our next holiday

Popped in for a cup of tea and cake. Good selection and very quick service. They also have a full menu, and they're open all day and evening so no "will we get there before they close" anxiety. It's a lovely space and great food; our only slight niggle was that it's quite noisy (both the music and the kids at other tables). But it's clearly a focus of the community and very popular! We'll definitely be back.

Great service, attentive staff, great food and a decent £££ We arrived and were taken to a nice spot in the restaurant. While waiting for our party to join us, staff asked if we'd like a drink while we wait. Really quick service after ordering, throughout our meal, we were asked if everything was okay. I would definitely recommend Kisa's in Auchterarder.

We stopped for a drink outside on our way home from a dog walk and ended up staying for some food. My husband is a very fussy vegetarian, doesn’t like pasta, rice, meat substitute burgers….the list is endless😱but they were very accommodating and adapted their fajitas to miss out the chicken and give him lots of yummy vegetables, miss out the mushrooms by the way🫣….sooo fussy!

All great, no complaints at all.

Very friendly with great food whilst accommodating our four legged friend

What an exceptional experience we had at this cafe- excellent service, beautifully presented food and first class service.

Quick service and tasty food. Good stop off when driving on the A9.

Dropped in without reservations. The lady found us a table. Excellent menu. Friendly and professional staff. Food was excellent and prices very reasonable. Five stars all the way. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend this restaurant.

Had breakfast here and what a breakfast! Hubby had full scottish and I had pancakes, both fab. Very good coffee , lovely staff and worth every penny.

Diverted to Auchterarder for a break from a long journey on the A9 and what a gem of a place this is! Its rare to find this sort of quality cafe nowadays and Cafe Kisa is obviously a very popular location place to meet for a meal or afternoon tea. Luckily there was a table free but if you plan to visit for any length of time on a Saturday it's probably best to reserve. There's an extensive food and drinks menu. The coffee, tea and cakes we had were excellent. Also great service and tables and floor were kept continously clean while we were there. Toilets were also spotless. Did not park opposite but in the main car park a short stroll away. It was free and despite being a peak season Saturday there were free spaces.

Stopped in for tea and cake. Superb.

Fantastic restaurant brilliant service fantastic food really good prices.

Was very surprised with this place sure you will be . Give it a try see what you think....

Nice place for food. Staff are very friendly and a credit to the owners. Owner was very helpful and friendly as well would go back again. If your in the area pop in best food/servi ce in the area.

Paradise baked potato to die for😋

Our first meal in Scotland, the staff were so friendly and supportive and the food was delicious. Thank you Cafe Kisa for introducing us to the delicious dish of Haggis!

Great service and excellent food and dog friendly

Lovely cafe with a really interesting menu. We were lucky to be in the small side snug room which was quieter. It appears to be a popular place (always a good sign) so the main eating area had a healthy buzz of noise. Tables are spaced out so you are not on top of each other. Really lovely service. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic service from the moment we stepped in the premises. Food was superb in a warm and vibrant atmosphere. Well worth a visit if you in the area and we'll definitely be back. Thank you

Just stopped for coffee but it was really good.Dog friendly outside.

Outstanding experience. Pulled of the A9 on our way north. 2 minutes and we were in the loveless and very friendly village. ( town?) of Auchterarder. Delightful place to stretch your legs and grab some fresh air. Cafe Kisa was the perfect choice for a late breakfast. Plenty of tables, no wait to be seated. Attentive staff and food came out hot and promptly. Very reasonably priced and delicious. The lunch menu looked good and it seemed very popular with the locals, Best of all, it was easy to grab a free park almost at the door!

Cafe Kisa is a lovely place to eat. The staff are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is calm with nice decor. The food has always been great! Fresh, tasty, hot. The fries are great. On this visit I had the halloumi burger it was the best I've had! My daughter, who is so fussy had tomato penne pasta and she loved it and that is saying something. She always has mac cheese when we go out and she came home raving about the penne pasta. I was most impressed. We come here for afternoon tea on occasion and their selection is always divine.

Great place for lunch. Food good quality and very tasty. Staff just lovely and attentive. Nothing too much trouble. Very relaxed place for lunch. Second time here and definitely be back. Thank you.

Dog friendly seating outside, it is sheltered in case of adverse weather. I had a scone with a coffee. Good service, food looked great and friends seemed happy with their breakfasts. I’d love to try this again when passing :)

Brilliant service and the best ham and cheese panini I've had in ages. This gem in Auchterarder is very popular and it's little wonder!

Popped in for lunch. Food was great, service was very good. Staff were extremely friendly. Did not have reservation,however managed to fit us in.😃👍

Beautiful restaurant. We only had a drink in the outside area, which was lovely. I have given five stars on the appearance of others food, it looked delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly and the atmosphere, for a Wednesday afternoon, was very pleasant. Well worth a visit.

Had lunch here a few days ago. The food, service and overall experience was brilliant. The chicken and banana panini was so tasty. Definitely recommend this cafe / restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.

Only had coffee and cake . Food looked good it was very busy with diners. Sat outside as it was a beautiful day. Dogs allowed outside. Caremal shortbread ,scones and coffee were lovely .

Good old fashioned table service, friendly and polite waiting staff, excellent food. This could catch on.

Nice food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. nice price.

We have eaten here numerous times. So this review is based on several visits over the past couple of years. Lunches have never disappointed us, they are done well and are very good, however, since the move to provide an evening meal service standards have slipped. Constant upselling from waiting staff is annoying. An example being, my kids ordered 'luxury hot chocolate ' at £5.... Asked if they would like cream and some marshmallows, now what kid is going to refuse that? So, the 'luxury' hot chocolate ended up being £8 each. A personal favourite of mine, on any menu, is a fish pie, so I gave it a go here. Truly disappointing. The fish consisted mostly of cubes of rubbery smoked haddock, prepacked frozen is my guess, along with one prawn and one piece of salmon. The difference in quality from a fish pie served at The Ship Inn at Broughty Ferry or the Achray House is night and day. We've now been three times for the evening meal and each time it's just not been up to the standards I'd expect for the price. I'm not alone with this sentiment, I've spoken with several others who feel the same....great for lunch, avoid for dinner.

The garlic prawns were good, but the chicken fajitas I had were so bland. The service was good, and the background music was good.

Greeted by a very friendly Kirsty who made us feel welcome from the first moment. Ably assisted by 2 young competent waitresses. A good varied menu. Plenty of choice . The 4 of us all choose different starters and main. No complaints at all. Even got to speak to Sam the chef. I definitely recommend this restaurant and hope to return soon. Well done team ‘Kissa’

We visit every time we go north. The food is exceptional. The staff are excellent from the minute you're through the door

Popped in for a late breakfast while out for a run on my motorcycle with my wife, we both had the large breakfast which was just fab, you get toast/jam, fruit juice and tea/coffee all included, since my wife doesn't drink tea they gave her a larger glass of fresh orange juice instead. Lovely fresh breakfast of sausage, bacon, egg and black pudding with some beans, potato scone and tomato, just the right amount that makes you fully satisfied without eating too much and feeling overly full. The service was excellent, and the decor and atmosphere are equally as good. Will definitely return the next time we are passing Auchterarder - thanks for a lovely time. Nick and Pauline x

Fantastic local restaurant... Great tasty food...Dog friendly 🐕😁

Loved my visit. Wonderful staff and so friendly. My breakfast and flat white coffe8 ever so good. You do need to book as so busy, people appearing from all around. Auchterarder - U R so lucky 2 have this 'quality' cafe.

Popped in here for a coffee and cake on Sunday afternoon. The place was really busy and having walked past a few tables with lovely looking meals we decided to try a sandwich as well. We did say to the waitress that we had only meant to have coffee and cake, however she said it was fine. The food was well presented, good value and really nice. Great selection of cakes and we settled on some scones as they had nice selection of flavours. Great friendly service and would highly recommend.

Excellent, very clean, very friendly staff Various options

So impressed by the sister restaurant Le Jardin in Kinross that we stopped of here on our return journey. Really lovely cafe/restaurant where staff had again taken note of access requirements and seated us accordingly. We only wanted a sandwich lunch but the quality was excellent - wide ranging menu encompasses everything from a sandwich to a main meal, something for everyone.

Very nice cafe, modern and welcoming. The food was excellent, fresh and beautifully prepared😃

We"ve previously eaten lunch at Cafe Kisa in Auchterarder and it was good - slightly different menu items and efficient friendly staff. This time, we were in transit but the experience was very different. We had booked for 6pm. Menu was very ordinary this time and the one thing we both wanted, Haddock & Chips, was not available in either breaded or battered form. Starters arrived about 6.30pm. - Having informed the waitress when we ordered that I had an allergy to capers, I saw some green bits in my dip and asked what it was. Incredibly, the response was that the allergy had only been noted against the main course!! My husband had mussels, some of which had not opened, therefore he did not eat them, and some of which were empty. - then we waited and waited, with mains arriving at about 715pm following a reminder - "would you like something else?" - "our main courses please" - "oh..you're waiting for your main course". - my husband's main course was Calzone - it had some very hard unidentifiable inedible bits in it and he did not finish the meal - my main course was a fish pie which was very salty (smoked fish not pre soaked?) and had 3 mussels on top. I didn't finish my main course either. So having spent far too much time on a poor meal we resumed our journey. 90 miles and an hour and a half later, on remote Dava Moor, my husband became very unwell and we had to stop. Without going into the horrible detail, the on board toilet roll was very useful and mussels were identifiable. I was better but had a nasty toilet moment when we got home an hour later. The restaurant requested feedback and this was given. To date, no acknowledgement has been received and there is no evidence that the matter has been treated with the seriousness it justifies. All in all a terrible experience not to be repeated.

Have to say we both enjoyed one of the best meals we ve had in Scotland. Nice relaxed atmosphere, staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. Menu is superb and food even better. First class

Super cute place! Ran in for a quick toastie and a coffee but would love to spend a proper brunch there. Cocktails looked good and there’s a range of wine available.

Been twice now and doesn’t disappoint.

Booked a meal for two, great location, great service and really good food, reasonable price, well done

Stopped here for late lunch when out exploring the area on my 🏍️ Delicious hot baked potato with boiled eggs in mayo. Nice combo served with a nice side fruit salad. I really enjoyed it! Will definitely stop again if and when I find myself in town again.

Friday evening first visit before bank holiday weekend, understandably busy but had prebooked, staff welcoming and friendly, coped well with a busy dinner service. All dishes were flavoursome, larger than I'm used to, but tasty and filling - recommend home pasta, penne, spicy (paprika) chicken fillet pieces with parmesan ham and leaves, excellent. An eclectic mix of Scottish, Indian & Italian concoctions. A good "buzz" to the place with a variety of age groups, Good access all areas. Off street parking only.

Excellent meal and Brilliant service.

Lovely restaurant, the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Food was great and well priced I would absolutely visit again if I was in the area

Great pit stop, extensive menu and plenty vegan/veggie options. Will be back!

Fantastic place! Atmosphere was great, food was fantastic & staff were very courteous.

I paid a long overdue visit to Auchterarder with my husband. We were last there in 2019. We popped on to Cafe Kisa which has always been a favourite of ours. They had moved across the street into a much larger building. We only popped in for a coffee! The staff were welcoming and managed to get a table (it was extremely busy so if you want to go you should book a table). We had a small bite to eat also, all very delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Cafe Kisa in Auchterarder.

Delicious lunch in my way to Glasgow

Great wee place and the nachos chos are amazing 👌🏻

Great find 😊 Ceoliac GF options clearly marked on menu and staff well informed. Good food well presented staff thank you

Tasty food, friendly staff and a very relaxing atmosphere.

Great place to stop for a cooked breakfast, staff very friendly

A quick stop for breakfast on our way home from a week in the Cairngorms led us to this lovely restaurant. Delicious food and lovely staff, very good value for money. There is parking directly opposite at the local supermarket but it’s only for customers and is limited to an hour (it did the job for us)

Had a lovely lunch at Cafe Kisa in Auchterarder. My wife gad a cheese and onion toasty with salad, which was delicious. I had the tuna and onion sandwich with salad and a cone of fries, which was also delicious 😋 We had a pot of tea and a latte, which were great. The staff were excellent, making it a memorable experience 👏 We would highly recommend a visit here 😀

We shared a delicious cottage cheese and smoked salmon salad with some sweet potato fries. Enough for a light lunch, and sadly leaving no space to try the fabulous cakes on display 😋

Great place for breakfast or brunch. Good friendly service. Not too expensive with lots to choose from. I had the Scottish breakfast and it was yummy. First visit, I will be back thanks

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic meal on Saturday, the service was impeccable and the food was equally delicious with excellent value for money, very impressive all round. Many restaurants could learn a thing or two from this team.

Amazing food! Quick delivered ! Plenty choices! Worth to stop!! Full tummy!! Perfection!! Nice place and staff! Can’t recommend enough

Fabulous lunch in an amazing restaurant Modern, clean and friendly. Good size portions beautifully presented and delicious. If you are in the area definitely eat here.

Very tidy and clean place. Friendly staff. I personally wasn't really impressed by the coffee. It was just not the kind of blend I like. For me the blend is too weak but some people might like their coffee with little coffee flavour. I had the Mexican panini and was a bit disappointed when it arrived. The chicken was wonderfully flavoured with the perfect amount of spice but unfortunately it was very dry and could have done with more sauce of some kind it also was really badly presented. The only thing that looked very pretty and presentable was the salad that came with it. I will give it another shot but with another dish and really hope that the chef just had a bad day that day.

Stopped here on the way to Aberfeldy for lunch. Great food and very polite and friendly staff

Great service and piping hot food available on the A9 while going towards Thurso/Wick. Enjoy the place run by elderly people and experience good food. Unfortunately, did not take pictures. Tried Mac n cheese and burger. Great service.

5* all round service, food, drinks and environment were perfect. A lovely evening for reasonable pricing.

All the food we had was very tasty, filled with high quality ingredients. They serve traditional cafe/restaurant food, with many options having well-thought out twists. The waitresses were very attentive and stopped to talk. We were very impressed.

Lovely staff nice pot of tea and cake bake nice atmosphere lovely place Auchterarder.

Lovely place with good staff and nice food.

Lovely café - bigger than it appears from the outside. Comfortable, cosy and the staff are lovely and friendly. Menu of snacks and light meals through the day and ours was very fresh and tasty.

We have short breaks throughout Scotland 2-3 times per year and always stop here on our return. Never disappoints and always busy do suggest you rebook. We were contacted on mobile by staff when table for 4 was available which was only 10minutes later. Food so fresh and tasty never let down in years- keep up good work thank you

Lovely place for breakfast, only feedback I would give is that the vegetarian sausages where on the anaemic side and the grilled tomatoes needed a few more minutes. Drinks took a while to come out but I’m beginning to think that’s a Scottish thing :,) Lovely atmosphere and very clean.

The worst place to eat. Get rushed to finish my wine, my partner was using the toilet and he gets hurried to finish. Horrible service,we got the worst table in the restaurant and having someone wipe the table while I'm still sitting and there. They were laughing at us, very disgusting. Shame on you. You don't know nothing about hospitality. Get a real job. Spierdalaj.

Visited here as a family of 5 for brunch on Valentine's Day as our son's wanted pancakes and we didn't go anyway for Shrove Tuesday...! Much bigger inside than the outside looks and we got shown to our table straight away (we had pre-booked). Service was prompt, friendly and everything came exactly as we ordered. Everything was hot and fresh (pancakes, French toast and full breakfast) and reasonably priced. Nothing seemed a bother for the staff and the place was great for what we wanted.

Lovely atmosphere, busy but greeted warmly and quickly, staff attentive and efficient, food delicious. Good varied menu, steak burger for me, chicken fajitas for wife, focaccia between 2 as starter and choux pastry and ice cream desert. 4 bottles of Peroni each. Came to £70. Left very content- not hurried at all. The front of house lady (who owns with her chef hubby) was lovely as were both waitresses! Sorry didn’t get names! Will 💯 eat here when we visit again..,

Got engaged here and seen that I totally forgot to leave a review. Food and staff are outstanding!! Service is second to none with staff helping with my proposal. Best place to eat in Auchterader! One of the best in Scotland!’

A busy spot on the main street that caught our eye. No private parking. We were quickly seated at elevated seats as the were so full. A fair menu and service was fast and the servings were reasonable. The staff were fine and the prices weren't too high. The restaurant is bright and modern and it is clearly the place to be seen. My fish was good quality.

Great café,restaurant, stopped off for a light lunch, very friendly service, and good food, downstairs disabled toilet. Cater for breakfast, light bites, lunches,etc, Very reasonably priced, will visit again when in the area.

The chilli nachos were lovely and the meat was very finely chopped so no fat/bits. Good ratio of meat to nachos and nice guacamole etc. Sandwiches and potatoes were good. Staff were efficient and friendly. First visit but would return.

Visited the new cafe Kisa today, having eaten very happily in the original cafe many times over the years. I was shown to my table and given the menu and that was the last contact I had with staff. I waited for 15 or 20 minutes for somebody to take my order and couldn't attract any attention. I was meeting somebody from the station and couldn't wait any longer so had to leave feeling roundly ignored. Maybe it's not just the location which has changed as the service was not like this in the past.

I have visited this restaurant many times as the service and food are amazing. I am a picky eater and go out of my way to eat here. The service is amazing and food is brought out quickly. I am most certainly a regular

Have to try the food! It's absolutely delicious. I'm gf, but they offer plenty for me to try. There pavlova is to die for!

Service was very good, music was low, the roast beef dish was amazing and plenty of it.

The service was first class, and the battered chicken strips were very tasty. The price was extremely competitive.

Always reliable in delivering what they offer, fresh tasty, well prepared and presented.

Booked in advance, arrived a little bit early, and had to wait a short time to get a vacant table. Really busy Friday lunch, nice helpful staff, decent portion side salad with baked potato was lovely 😍

Really busy Friday lunch, nice helpful staff, decent portion size salad with baked potato eas lovely 😍

Wife and I grabbed a quick lunch. Very nice setting and was busy which would suggest it was good. Both had haggis paninis which were delicious.

Great food for a cold day, and a warm welcoming space to enjoy eating it.

Another lovely lunch at café kisa, ham and cheese panini, coffees. Service excellent.

Very nicely furnished, friendly staff. Although steak wasn’t the best had been tasted but is a good place to have a casual dinning.

Great place for a catch-up with friends and family for lunch . Staff are really nice and the food is lovely.

We went in for a drink at a busy time but the waitress was very pleasant and found us a table. We didn’t have food but what we saw other customers getting looked good.

Lovely place for some lunch and a catch-up
