Cateran Cafe in Perth & Kinross

Stopped off at the outside seating for lunch. The ham and cheese ultimate toastie with the chilli jam was excellent served with crisps and side salad. Egg mayonnaise sandwich was equally good. Good sized cappuccino coffees.

Popped in today after a long walk, we found a very clean establishment, lovely staff and great food . We will certainly return, I would certainly give this place 5 *****

We regularly visit this cafe and are never disappointed. We go ourselves or sometimes take the grandchildren and are always welcomed. They do simple things like bacon rolls, scrambled eggs(probably the best I’ve ever tasted), egg sandwiches, scones and cakes really well. But what makes this a standout place are the specials. They vary, Italian, Indian, Middle Eastern, American or Scottish influenced but always a little bit different from usual cafe fare and always delicious. The portions are generous - my husband and I often share. They’ve just introduced ‘small plates’ though for smaller appetites. They cater well for vegetarians, vegans and can accommodate those who are wheat and lactose intolerant. And definitely the best coffee in Blairgowrie. Since covid they’ve added a deli counter for fresh treats and also sell food and other goods from local producers. Most of the food on the menu is locally sourced too.

Found by accident, when touring the area. Had superb “ Special” toasties.: 4 cheese with salads and crisps and a Reuben with pastrami. One of the best toasties I have ever had and I i have had a few. service was friendly and prompt. Cakes looked excellent too.

We were cycling through Blairgowrie on our way to John O'Groats and decided to stop for a coffee if we saw anywhere nice. Cateran was right on the route, and the sight of busy tables in front suggested it was worth a try. We were not disappointed! Really good coffee, delicious fresh scones, very friendly helpful staff, and pleasant seating in the sunshine. Lots of nice cakes and savoury items available inside as well as Belazu products. We had an excellent break and would recommend it to anyone passing by in need of good coffee and a nice snack.

Had a lovely cup of tea , and a perfect Lorne Sausage and Fried Egg roll. It was completely delicious, cooked just right. The lady who served me was brilliant, it was a great experience:)

Excellent food. Very friendly staff. Good value lunch sat outside. Very tasty interesting menu on offer with yummy cakes.

Sunny spot for sitting outside if you have dogs with you. Coffee was lovely and service good. Nice friendly place.

Stopped for coffee and cake. Lovely. friendly staff. Delightful visit. Obviously popular with locals. Would go again if in the area

Stay locally but regrettably not been in for a few years but today we went in for lunch. Loads of choice I went for soup & sandwich while my husband opted for the Indian Tiffany box both were beautifully presented & tasted excellent. This is somewhere I would recommend for coffee & cake to a lunch staff were very good & sanitising tables as they were vacated will not be as long till we are back

Revisited The Cateran with friends who thoroughly enjoyed the experience, friendly and helpful staff, wide menu choices, served promptly, covid rules being observed, on street parking.

Just a quick stop for Tea and cake. We sat out side and the table had been clean/sanitized. When we sat down the table marker was turned over so that it had to be cleaned for the next party, so this made us feel safe. The staff were very friendly took our order and we completed the Track and Trace form. Such jolly, friendly staff!

We sat outside for coffee and had lunch the next day. Food and cake and service excellent and worth a visit.

We had a warm welcome and found seats outside as we were travelling with our dog. The menu was great, something for everyone to suit all ages. We really enjoyed the breakfast rolls whilst our daughter had a scone and jam. From what we saw the other options on the menu looked great. Lovely drinks, clean eating area, covid restrictions are adhered to Etc . Not faults founds and we’d happily return.

We picked this cafe due to its TA reviews, but we were disappointed. We sat outside, then a group arrived at the next table and started smoking (something that seems commoner in Scotland than in England) so we moved inside. The cake was fresh, but far too sweet (another trend that we noticed in Scotland) and the cappuccino was extremely bland. A pity. We have had better and better value elsewhere on our trip.

Family lunch visit on a busy Thursday lunch time. Hadn’t booked a table but staff managed to squeeze us in. Food was delicious, easily the best toasted sandwich I’ve ever eaten, was outstanding. Staff were very accommodating to our daughter and even decanted her soup...

What can we say. The "sandwich" (meat & four cheeses) we ordered for lunch turned out to be enough for the rest of the day. It was a "heart-attack" on a plate. Totally delicious. The previous day we'd popped in for coffee and cake which...

I’m new to Blairgowrie and I’ve only been here twice but both occasions have been great! The staff are all super friendly and generous, the food is so tasty and the coffee was one of the best latte’s I’ve had! Would highly recommend the Cateran...

We live locally and have visited multiple times over the past 3/4 years. While the food is good, the attitude of the manageress June towards young families is absolutely shocking! You get the impression that you are just a hindrance and it is really off-putting....

Friendly staff and prompt service to our pre-booked table, choice of starters and main courses, cakes are delicious, on street parking. Covid regulations observed.

Stopped for lunch today and we were really glad we did. Food was superb and the service equally good. We had a sausage roll that was to die for, served with a great green salad and a delicious potato salad. Definitely recommend.

On a sunny summers day we enjoyed coffee and cake at the outside tables, service was prompt and friendly.

I've been here a few times as Blairgowrie is a bit shirt on good coffee shops. The food used to be excellent but oh dear, what's happened?! I ordered a cheese and chutney sandwich which turn out to be two slices of Hovis bread, cheap...

While service was good I can't say the same about the food we were served. Soup of the day with cheese and ham roll. The soup was ham and lentil and despite the fact that we both tak a fair bit of salt in our...

Couldn't get breakfast at Spoons because I couldn't be bothered downloading their app so went to Caterans. Attractive outlook, seating indoor and out. Staff following covid guidelines. Also helpful and friendly. Breakfast came reasonably fast, good sized portions, well cooked, lots of toast and local...

Um café acolhedor ,com staf simpático e competente. Comida com apresentação e de gustação muito agradável.

Excellent breakfast of thyme buttered mushrooms with poached Eggs on sourdough - nice place with very friendly and interested staff.

A very nice comfortable restaurant serving great coffee and cakes ,All day menu also very good and staff very helpful.

Shak shuka was excellent and the flatbread served with it was really soft and so fresh. There was only one drawback, no room for dessert.

Had a wee trip here and were panicking as we hadn’t booked - free seats aren’t always available- but luckily for us 3 tables were just leaving as we arrived. We hung about looking for a seat and were directed to a newly vacated one...

Good service good food enjoyable atmosphere and well priced. Not much seating area but we'll spaced out. Had the Blair marching band March past, great sight.

Stopped for a light lunch having been for a long dog walk. Thankfully the weather was nice and we could sit outside with the dogs and enjoy a very tasty lunch of scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and toast - delicious! Extremely friendly and efficient staff - thank you!I would definitely recommend a visit if in the area. Good menu and reasonable prices. Enjoy!

Two bacon rolls filled with lots of tasty rashers a tea and a coffee, an attentive server in a clean, comfortable cafe. Go try !

The cafe has a good central location, great selection of tasty cakes, sandwiches etc, staff were friendly and keen to help. Look forward to ouir next visit.

This is the second time we have visited the first was okay. This time we were waiting 20 minutes before I asked do you come to the table to take the order the young girl replied yes.We waited another 5 mins, still nobody came so we walked out and went next door to the bakers and got take out which was nice and spoke with the really friendly lady , unlike in the Cateran cafe who were not.

Quick service and the apple slice was outstanding, the coffee good and strong. The cafe has outside seating with great views of the main streets and life passing by. Prices were good and a busy feel about the place. You order at the counter and food is brought to your table. You pay at the end.

I honestly can say, you should stop here. The food is amazing, lovely coffee, a great atmosphere and well located. Every time the service was spot on. Lovely place for a family meal or catching up with friends. I will be back soon!

We enjoyed our lunch in the Cateran, and so came back for coffee a few days later. They have a decent selection of cakes, but we also enjoyed our savoury dishes which were vegetarian. The service was friendly, and teh place was busy in the summer with both locals and tourists.

Great option for lunch. The waiter is very nice. We shared a plate of sandwiches with praws, smoked salmon, avocado and dried tomatoes.They have kid's menues as well. Delicious!

Had a grease filled breakfast there this morning. We both left most of it and went somewhere else. Disappointing choice for breakfast, just your standard roll and bacon/sq sausage etc.

Had lunch here today with my sister and was delighted at the choice of specials on the menu. I had a large plate with falafel, hummus, flatbread, cucumber dip, coleslaw and side salad. The coleslaw was slightly spicy which was delicious and the salad was mixed and very fresh. My sister had a open smor-bread selection with 3 different fillings, all of which were delicious. We didn't leave a single morsel on our plates!

Great wee cafe on a wide stretch of pavement with tables and chairs outside. Good coffee, huge sandwiches and toasties (one between two is enough). A nice spot on the high street for people watching.

Just popped in for a refreshing drink while waiting for another appointment. Had a luxury hot chocolate loaded with marshmallows and we shared a scone with clotted cream and jam. Fruit scone, very tasty. Quick service. Good value.

This was such a wonderful "find". A lovely warm welcome from the friendly staff.

Sat outside for delicious coffee and blueberry cake after a long walk Good choice of teas and coffees.. Service prompt and friendly .

Stopped by for lunch after walking from bridge of Cally on the Cateran we. the lunch was spectacular my husband had the scrambled egg roll and said it was the best he'd ever had staff were friendly and helpful offered water for the dog and charged electric bike charger nothing seemed to be too much trouble I would highly recommend this place

Friendly staff, great food, good value, food was almost mediterranean twist. Would throughly for pick lunch, fast service

Nipped in for a quick respite this morning Lovely lorne sausage roll and veg sausage roll and great cup of tea Most enjoyable will be back

Always met with a smile. The menu choices are mouth watering and you can eat inside or at tables and chairs outside. They don't mind people having small meetings there either

Gorgeous lunch enjoyed by everyone, ham salad was delicious and the gluten free rueben was fab. Friendly attentive service on a busy day

Popped into this wee cafè for a quick cuppa on the way to Bridge of Cally. They had an amazing selection of home baking, some of it gluten free. My husband had gluten free blueberry cake which was more like a gateaux, i had a taste and the icing was delicious, almost like a creamy cheese cake and totally delicious. I had lemon drizzle slice which was scrumptious. Very warm and friendly staff.

Great place for a lazy breakfast or lunch when you are in Blair shopping. My son used to work here and they are as kind as employers as they are good as caterers. Great place.

The Cateran cafe is most certainly worthy of 5 stars. They make by far the best Skinny Mocha I have ever had in my life. I make a point of visiting this fine establishment on a daily basis, it gets me through the day!

The cheese, ham and chutney toastie was absolutely delicious. The staff is helpful, the view of this peaceful Scottish town was lovely. I liked the local color with the historical background of the caterans.

Food excellent and simple. Staff really friendly. Coffee really tasty and hot. If I lived local this would definitely be my go to place.

This restaurant is a real gem with outstanding dishes and superb service. Five of us visited yesterday for a birthday celebration, the atmosphere, food and drinks were all delicious and we all enjoyed the relaxing environment. The variety of choice accommodated everyone's palate. If its good enough for the Deputy First Minister and his family ( They arrived as we were leaving) it must be a place worth visiting!

3 cheese grilled sandwich that was perfect for lunch. All 3 cheeses were the perfect combination for taste and flavor. It was served with a delicious potato salad.

This attractively decorated café is situated right in the middle of Blairs high street with free parking directly outside or within a few yards.They have outside seating in the summer and there are town benches outside where you can both chain your bike and watch it whilst you have your break.Inside is welcoming with a large attentive staff offering the usual choices although there is a daily chalk board for specials and home baking.There is a single toilet and free newspapers.We would recommend the fruit scone and bacon rolls although it all looked good the place was full on a Tuesday noon

If I stayed in Blairgowrie this wee cafe would regularly be one of my guilty pleasures. A nice atmosphere and friendly staff . The artisan coffee is superb and the fruit scones fresh out of the oven to die for . We will certainly be back next time we are in Blairgowrie

Excellent cakes, coffee, staff and bacon rolls. The stuff of dreams. The cakes are consistently good. The seating arrangement is adequate. They also have a loyalty card which is useful. Only minor is just one toilet.

Unusual freshly made delicious food with an Asian slant. The coffee is very good and the cakes are a treat. Cakes are too sugary and dietary requirements are effortsly met

Really friendly atmosphere in this cafe, The food is fresh and scrummy! Had soup one day then a special from the board another day - the most amazing cheese & ham toastie we've ever had!!

A lovely little cafe with wonderful cakes and hot food on offer including an awesome breakfast. Well worth a visit if you are ever in the area.

Decided to go for lunch at the above cafe/restaurant

Lovely place to seat and relax outside , fantastic value for money , good friendly service , will visit again

Yes, we managed to sit outside last Saturday in the sun and enjoyed the coffee and bacon rolls/Reuben sandwich very much. Finished off with a second coffee and some gluten-free brownies. Lovely menu and a very good selection of daily specials/cakes.

I have visited the Cateran Cafe, again, expecting a great service and amazing food. This time we brought our 9 days old son. The place is amazing, great menu, lovely people, not surprisingly is always busy. Loved it, again and we will be back for more. Thank you!

Called in twice on consecutive days for a tea and cake and then breakfast. Both were excellent. My partner had a delicious carrot cake with tea. I had a superb bacon sandwich for breakfast and a wonderful pasty with tea. Brilliant smiling friendly staff. A gem! Great gluten free options too.

We popped in today for a spot of lunch whilst waiting on tyres being fitted.

sat outside and ordered a cold drink and a gorgeous huge slice of cake( they had quite a selection)

Popped in for a coffee and bun after a long walk with the dogs (doggies outside only) mindset was just to get a quick refreshment before returning to our holiday cottage in the town.

Although it was busy the food was totally amazing and came to the table quickly. Very quick service and very friendly. Certainly will be back again

My wife and I visit this cafe fairly often and have always found the staff friendly and helpful. It's often a busy place but we always find the service is quick and efficient. My wife generally has an Americano while I get a glass of hot milk to which I can add as much, or little, coffee as I want. There is a great selection of cakes, biscuits, scones etc. We generally have a cake between us as the slices are generous. The cafe even operates a loyalty card which is an added bonus!

Lovely relaxed feel, and great food. There were so many menu options I fancied that I ended up getting a takeaway lunch too.

It is a very real treat to lunch here, excellent menu and very attentive staff. My ceoliac friend thoroughly enjoyed the gluten free bread offered as an alternative to a wrap and we enthused about our Meze and Falafal meals. The friendly atmosphere allows for a relaxing experience. Oh and the cakes also received a hearty thumbs up.

Nipped in for some lunch with my mum today, was lucky to be offered to share a large table with another family. Genuinely great service and the food was an unexpected treat! The specials menu had some great options, we had the Rose Harissa Chicken (served on a flatbread with side salads) and the Salt Beef Bagel (with mayo, pickled yellow beetroot and jarlsberg). Everything tasted really fresh and the service was quick and friendly. If you’re bringing a crowd might be wise to book, quite a busy wee place. They have outdoor seating too - and a fab selection of cakes. I’d definitely go again, really interesting selection of food. A wee gem!

Dropped in for a light lunch, had an amazing ham lettuce and tomato sandwich well stuffed. Thank you

We called in for breakfast after dripping our car off for an MOT along the road. We were lucky to get seated; a couple of genteel ladies offered us space on their table. Breakfast service was propping and the food (my wife had porridge with fruit, I had scrambled eggs and splendid bacon) was delicious. It seems that the place is such a stand out that they take reservations through the day to avoid disappointing regulars. Good coffee, great looking cakes (off my diet) and scrupulously clean. Best cafe in Blair.

Only stopped for having coffe, but had a salad as well. it was exceptionally tasty -leaf, toms, beans, nuts and prunes... could have added ham in to it if I had wanted. Salad did have nuts in it, although it did not say this on the menu... it does have information about allargens. coffee was flavoursome too. Cost for the large salad was £6, coffee aprox £2..Veggies catered for, as well as GI, good selection of home bakes. Seats aprox 30 folks inside, outsdie seating available too. Toilet is unisex, but big enough for disabled access/ baby changing. Clean and tidy. Staff friendly, plentiful and helpful

Comfortable, great service and super home baking. Serves unusual soup and lovely salads. Tables outside too which is nice in recent hot weather

When the simple things are done well it says a lot about a cafe. We only stopped for a quick breakfast but we were hugely impressed and would love to go back to sample some of the other dishes on the menu. The attention to detail when the lady cleaned the tables also shows how good this place is.

My husband and I stopped here whilst on our way north on holiday. Just had drinks and a scone. Great service, fantastic choice of cakes, traybakes, scones and drinks. The lunch choices looked great as they were coming out of the kitchen. The cheese scone was light, cheesy and gorgeous. We would definitely stop here again if in the area.

My wife and I stopped off at Cateran Cafe on the way through Blairgowrie for a quick lunch and were well impressed by the quality of the food and the choice available - very nice indeed.

Lovely little place for a tea, coffee, baby chino and cakes. The carrot cake was particularly nice and gluten free. Service was pleasant and quick. Would definitely return.

Charming staff, excellent cakes and good coffee made for a pleasant stop here. The custard cream wasn't too sweet, which did it for me

We stopped in here for a cup of tea on a visit to the area. The staff were very nice and welcoming. There were tables outside but we didn't feel it was quite warm enough and sat inside. We had a pot of tea and a fruit scone each. The scones were delicious and the tea came in a good sized pot. Lovely little tea room.

Visited here for coffee and bacon roll. It was excellent!! Bacon was so tasty! Good selection of Gluten free too. Definitely be back!!

Popped in to meet with a friend for a catchup and we couldnt resist the cafe's cakes. This time we had orange drizzle and a 'lemon and earl grey' cake with iced cafe latte. Heaven!

We travelled to Blairgowrie for our first visit there in several years to collect some artefacts for the Tayside Police Museum in Kirriemuir.

Great choice of lovely cakes and staff very polite .just perfect for morning coffee. Lovely soups and snacks also

Excellent coffee and a super range of cakes, scones and tray bakes. the staff are very helpful, polite and friendly. Definitely a place to visit. They do lunched but I haven't tried them yet.

Great cafe, friendly service. Excellent range of delicious cakes and pastries . Highly recommended for meeting up with friends . Also mouthwatering lunches for all the family. Very child friendly . Well worth a visit

A bright cafe with good coffee and an appealing lunch menu .We visited two days running, service was good. Interesting to learn about the Cateran trail, a challenging local walking tour and the derivation of the Cafe name, all to do with marauding cattle thieves!

Overall, a disappointing experience. We wanted to experience a Scottish breakfast. We were informed they didnt serve a breakfast although we could have most parts of it seperately!

Great service, lovely food for lunch . Highly recommended . Good for children or a quiet lunch. Cakes to die for . Excellent coffee

Always an interesting menu with specials board. Had a lovely, tasty lunch. Staff are friendly and efficient and everything spotlessly clean.

Great service, very hot day and had a cool drink on the table with a short time. I had a toasted sandwich which was exceptional and more than enough to fill me up.

Just a quick cup of tea and a little something for dessert was all we needed. So we had three desserts which were delicious and walked out with three more as a 'takeaway' for later. Very, very tasty!

fantasic.... lovely fresh food excellent service .... sandwiches loaded with choices ...everything fresh . the baker and others delivering whilst I was there , very clean and a lovely warm welcome cannot find anything to fault ...looking forward to try some of the specials yum yum

I've been here twice when I've been travelling through Blairgowrie and both times it was excellent. If lIme and courgette cake or orange and parsnip cake sound a bit weird they certainly didn't taste weird, scrumptuous! Their coffees are brilliant too! THe second time we had lunch and it was wonderful too, really unusual but delcious
