Deans Restaurant in Perth & Kinross

Used an Itison voucher for a two course lunch. Prawn cocktail with smoked salmon - mm. Good service, such a shame they're having to close soon

Enjoyed a very pleasant lunch here Great company, which always helps. 😀 All food was exceptionally well-presented. I felt like I was sitting down to dishes prepared for Masterchef - the serious one. My companion had scallops to start, and the presentation was amazing. A rock concert experience extraordinaire. Even though I don't greatly care for scallops I think I could learn to live them when they arrive like this! Service was friendly and efficient. No cause for complaint at all.

Fantastic 5 course taster menu. Great personal service. Lovely setting. Quiet night, but was a Thursday.... thank you. Highly recommend.

Great cocktails and friendly service!

Never lets us down!! Absolute tragedy that it is due to close

Amazing food and service experience!

I had a wonderful experience at Deans in Perth. The food was brilliantly flavoured and well portioned. My wife and I shared the chateaubriand (cooked perfectly medium rare) and paired a Chardonnay with entree (cheese soufflé which was amazing) and Malbec with the mains. The Malbec matched particularly well. The wait staff were very attentive and were very friendly. They were even happy for us to try to finish all of the the fantastic truffle chips (so sad to have left 5 behind), even though we were the last diners in the restaurant, we never felt rushed. The onion rings surprised me. I’ve ever eaten one that I liked, but these had a brilliant crunch! I don’t actually know how they achieved it. The sauces that accompanied the meal were brilliant. My only comment would be the peppercorn could be a little more peppery. The red wine jus was top notch. Unfortunately we didn't have any space for a dessert. If we make it back to Perth we’ll definitely be heading back to Deans!

Great time in Perth. And we enjoy it. Thanks Dean's

First time visit, using an itison voucher, and it was more than worth the trip to Perth. The venue is lovely, warm and stylish. Service was first class and the food was spectacular. The normal tasting menus look great value for money and they offer a kids version, so we’ll definitely travel back to visit again.

Amazing!! Beautiful food and fantastic service from Zak and the team, as always!!

Fantastic quality dishes, presented beautifully. Hope they open something similar down the line!

Deans is one of our favourite restaurants, it isn't close so it tends to be special occasions we travel through for and the food is always exceptional. They always have options to cater for dietary requirements and the children's menu is brilliant. We hope they find new premises with the end of their lease fast approaching as it would be a great loss to Perth without it.

The food was amazing, like always. We made a reservation for a specific table, but when we arrived, they had given that table to somebody else. We were not offered bread during the meal. The place was packed and very noisy this time.

Outstanding. I've never eaten a better meal- everything I ate was delicious even the things I wasn't so sure about. Service was fantastic.

Food was excellent. Good range, well presented and very tasty. Staff very attentive

Had a wonderful lunch yesterday using itison voucher. Great value for money. Excellent service and lovely staff

Fantastic food and service. Surprise seating at VIP table for our anniversary. Attentive staff, beautifully prepared dishes and delicious wine. Wonderful lunch experience.

Amazing food in a classy setting

Very friendly, professional and helpful staff. Food presentation and taste second to none. The mix of flavours and textures on the palette was refreshing and extremely tasty. We'll be back.

Great Sunday lunch with friends - fabulous food and drinks and great atmosphere.

Went in for lunch midweek, not many other customers. Service was good and food was lovely. Only gripe is there was not enough chutney with the cheese and biscuits. It has a nice atmosphere. Will go back to sit in the bar area and have a cocktail and some bar food. Nice atmosphere, very relaxing. Food was fab.

First time at this restaurant. Was amazing, looked after so well, staff were great, couldn't do enough for us, food was excellent. Will defo be back, even travelling from Kirkcaldy. Oh, as long as there's a bucket of different strength spectacles available Athena!

Great night out with delicious food, attentive waiting staff and very relaxing ambience. Our first time there but will definitely be back.

I can’t say enough great things! One of the best meals and dining experiences we’ve had out in a very long while 😍 Visiting family in Perth and they recommended Dean’s for a nicer meal out. Lovely setting and seating areas and the bartender was unmatched! He made a special mocktail for our son (under 10yo) which was just wow! Layered juices and cotton candy with dry ice for that incredible effect! Kiddo was so thrilled and made to feel very special. Staff were warm and welcoming and all worked seamlessly together. Was very impressive to watch them coordinate their work. The food was outstanding! Portions were perfectly sized and presented so well we were hard pressed to ruin the aesthetics by digging in! I understand why this is our family’s favourite local place for a date night or special occasion. Prices were very reasonable especially for what you were getting. There wasn’t a bite that wasn’t enjoyed. We can’t wait to return for another visit 💜

We traveled all day to get to Deans Restaurant and I would love to say it was worth it. We called to confirm our reservation for seven people earlier in the day and were told they were looking forward to hosting us. When we arrived we were received with hostility and told we needed to wait. We know it’s difficult to accommodate our party, so we understood. Once seated, the young man who took our drink order was very professional and kind. Unfortunately, the woman who appeared to be the manager, Margo, was not! She was rude and abrasive. When we couldn’t decide our order within a few moments she became visibly frustrated. We not only felt like we were imposing, we were unwelcome. We decided to leave and the woman began lecturing our 25-year-old son who delivered the news. My sister respectfully asked her not to lecture our group of adults. She continued to belittle and aggressively address our group. We got up and left, leaving money to cover not only our drinks, but the service of our kind young man. I doubt he saw any of that. We have traveled extensively and never experienced such rude service. STAY AWAY!

Can't put over well enough in words how good this restaurant is, the food is amazing to say the least, the presentation has the WOW factor and the staff were brilliant and engaging, 100% recommend this place

Fabulous food! Fabulous service! Cant wait to visit again 😎🍷

First time visiting, and was certainly not disappointed. Beautiful meal. Service was excellent, really friendly and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to return. Highly recommended.

Very good food Pleasantly served

Absolutely fabulous meal here last night. The scallops starter was amazing (see photo) and the venison was so tender it literally melted in your mouth. Loved the black pudding balls. Everything was just perfect. Best meal I've had in years. Will definitely be going back.

Amazing dining with great food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff were super attentive and friendly, and the whole evening was amazing.

Service 5 star. Food absolutely fab! Price very reasonable.

Delicious food with good size helpings. Lovely atmosphere

We are so lucky to have this restaurant in Perth and having tried most of the top restaurants in Scotland, for me there is none better than Deans!

Amazing food and better service! One of the best restaurants in town 👌

Fantastic food and service once again for The Lending Channel Christmas lunch yesterday!

Excellent staff, very attentive all the time, a very pleasant atmosphere, the food, without words, absolutely everything was exquisite, highly recommended

Our first visit for bonfire night and wow, really impressed with the quality and flavour of the dishes we selected. Kids enjoyed their menu too and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Really gorgeous food and nice to have a location like this so close to home. We will be back!

Just had a work night out here and absolutely loved it. Staff were friendly efficient and lively but the start of the show was the food. Simply amazing we were a huge booking for a small venue but the night went flawlessly and I heard nothing but the highest praise from my colleagues. Highly recommended.

The in finest Restaurant that it has ever been my pleasure to have frequented, my second visit. The food is a work of art all the Staff are worth their weight in gold.

Have to say the day didn’t go as planned and wasn’t expecting to end up at Deans. Saying that very happy we did. It seems very hard to find a location in Perth that does a Sunday roast. Deans does a great one if I have to say. What to expect a very warm welcome and friendly staff. We were shown to our table not the best as we were seated by the entrance to the toilet. This was a surprise as there was only one other table being used so maybe not the best location was a negative but in the end didn’t spoil the day. Servcs was good was offered a drink when seated then a few minutes later was asked for the food order. This seemed simple but not as easy as you would expect as they take the order as you sit at the table this didn’t work when the starters arrived as I didn’t get what I ordered and didn’t end up eating my one as the order I asked for was given to one of the others and they loved the theatre that went with the food and didn’t want to take it from them. So I missed out as what was ordered for them wasn’t for me. It didn’t go to waste as it scoffed very quickly by the other half as the food was so good. When the mains were served I got my roast beef that was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Only negative was the size of the Yorkshire pudding they were tinny. It was hard to find on the plate. Then again the chicken dish didn’t come with a Yorkshire pudding that he was looking forward to as that is one on the best parts of a Sunday lunch. Might be better if they’d gone to get aunt betty’s. We all enjoyed what we ordered and so happy we ended up at Deans. I will be going back again to try the rest of the food on offer and if as good as what was served today will keep visiting when I visit Perth. This is a must visit if you are in Perth, if today is a sample of what to expect. It can only get better.

The restaurant was recommended to us for having a nice lunch on our sixth wedding anniversary. We before had read some of the previous critical feedbacks on Tripadvisor, reporting for example excessive salt and lacking service, but I can only say: Our lunch was amazing in every respect! The service was excellent and friendly, attentive without being overpowering, and swift, but without making you feel rushed. The food was just wonderful – from the starters to dessert – great quality, varieties and subtleties in flavours, taste and presentation, and this coming also in the right proportions and at a good price. We certainly will be back for another delight!

The restaurant was absolutely boiling and they need to do something about smell extraction from the kitchen as the place was smelling heavily of burnt bacon. They had a problem changing a lager barrel so we waited 15 mins on a drink, then they served the pints in warm glasses so immediately went flat. The service was generally poor, very hard to get their attention. When we finished our meal, we still had cocktails and drinks left, yet they then made us move back to the waiting area as they wanted to get more diners in. The prices were exorbitant, quite ridiculous really. Silver lining was the food was excellent. All started and mains were thoroughly enjoyed. Overall quite disappointed though

I have visited Dean's on many occasions regardless of travelling round trip of 120 miles to dine there! I visited last Friday evening for to celebrate my Wedding Anniversary. The food is always very good quality and presentation and menu always innovative. The service was mixed and one younger member of the FOH team was not up to standard in terms of customer skills and knowledge The last issue was the prices charged for wine and cocktails are very expensive

This place is exceptional! A gem hidden in Perth’s rusty crown!

Excellent meal for our anniversary.

Service was lacklustre, I do not appreciate being greeted by the waiter with a "Hello, young ladies", at the best of times - much less when he's addressing my adult daughter and me. Next server was a very sour-faced woman who clearly had better things to do than take our order or clear away food was OK, but way over-seasoned. Atmosphere was try-hard, with ridiculous prints of classic portraits, with the eyes "wiped out". Trying to be edgy? Just weird and cheap.

Amazing food, I never clear my plate but this meal was incredible! Beautifully presented too! Would give 10 stars if I could! Both waiters were really great and attentive, just a really really great dining experience. Would recommend to anyone! See you all soon!

Today we get full marks for Deans in Perth. By British standards, a great little restaurant with friendly service, clean and very good cuisine. Not everything was to our taste, but the chef put a lot of effort into it and, as we all know, you can't argue with taste. So full marks and our unreserved recommendation.

First visit to Dean's yesterday for lunch , fantastic food , great service and brilliant waiting staff . Will definitely be back

Beautiful food and drinks, very attentive service. Shout out to Zac for making our visit extra fab with his sparkly banter. Very good value with the Sunday deal also.

If you are in the Fair City of Perth and you are looking to impress I recommend Dean's. It is a bit more pricy but the hit in your pocket I am sure you will feel is money well spent. The menu is not huge, I see that as a positive with a professional chef it should result in good quality and well prepared food and it is. I booked on the Web site the response was quick which to me is a must. The service was good but not 5 star the drinks waiter was unable to recite the selection of rums available at the bar. This is an issue to be sorted by front of house. The food was delivered quickly; hot ;and we presented. My group had the sea Brean and the venison. Full marks in that area. One sweet was ordered lemon meringue pie. Again full marks. Put all this into a warm 25c evening was perfect.

Phoned to book for 1 pm and told only had a table at 12.30 pm. Arrived to an empty restaurant and after 3 courses it was only half full when we left. Minor point that there was a limited selection of beer available as they did not have not everything on the menu, fine for larger and pale ales. Cannot fault the food, the cheese soufflé is so light and delectable, the whisky sauce was delicious and I would have loved a smidgen more. The chicken main course was moist and tasty, again served with a beautifully made sauce. However I could not taste the chicken in the crispy confit chicken leg through the amount of wholegrain mustard which was the only thing that spolied the dish for me. (I did mention it). Finished with strawberry creme brule with basil sorbet and realise that basil sorbet is not my thing. Would still recommend as each dish was beautifully presented and expertly made.

My wife and I had a lovely meal yesterday afternoon. Highly recommended. Will return again.

Perfect food ambience, and service, Jamie and his team are amazing, Thank you

1st time going to Deans in Perth. All I can say is that I will definately be back. The food was pleasing to the eye and very tasty. The staff polite and very helpful. Price wise I thought they were very reasonably for the fantastic quality of food being served. The wine was lovely too. 😍

Very good food in this restaurant: excellent dishes, courteous and efficient service, cozy atmosphere.

Another amazing visit to Dean's restaurant in perth. Truly amazing food. Service with a smile. In our opinion the top restaurant in perth.

We had an excellent lunch here. Great food, great service and great atmosphere

Fantastic place, lovely food and such happy staff. Thanks everyone

I highly recommend the Deans restaurant. Delicious food and very friendly service x

Fantastic meal here as always! Elena was very professional with her high level of service and she ensured our night was flawless. See you again soon x

Good food and great service. Would return.

Honestly the best restaurant ive ever been to! The food is outstanding! So many flavours going on and cooked to perfection. And very reasonably priced! Ive had lunch and dinner and both were so delicious. The staff are amazing, they are so friendly and they work so hard! The cocktails are out of this world. I honestly do not have a bad word to say, i travel 2 hrs just to eat here then 2 hours back home! I recently just booked a room nearby so that i could enjoy the cocktails. I am already planning my next visit. If youve never been you must go! You will be hooked! Love Deans restaurant , if i could give more stars i would!

rude staff, cold food, food took ages, the tables were dirty, cutlery was 🤢

Lovely food, good service and a great atmosphere 👍

Delightful to return to an excellent restaurant. Food beautiful.

The food and service was great, could not fault it at all. However half way through our meal a VERY noisy large table arrived, they didn't talk, they shouted, to the point that we could not hear each other. I asked then to stop shouting and they did for a few minutes, so we asked the waiter to ask them to quieten done he said it was a busy Sunday, I said no they are shouting and we can't hear each other. Husband said about it to who we think was the owner, she said oh it's just a large family group, enjoying them selves, she thought it added to the atmosphere, my husband said and what about our enjoyment and atmosphere, she didn't say anything. We have absolutely no problem with people enjoying time together, but when they destroy the enjoyment of others that is not okay. Noisy, rude, inconsiderate groups like this should be in a private room., there they can be as noisy as they like without ruining other peoples enjoyment and atmosphere

Had a fantastic meal here. The food was exemplary, and the service was fantastic. Friendly and attentive waiting staff. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. My wife is allergic to dairy and egg, the chef was incredibly flexible and managed to alter the dishes to suit her without compromising the taste at all, they even made a bespoke dessert

Magical atmosphere, pleasant staff, delicious and varied cuisine. I would especially like to thank the waiter Alina for her always good work and positive mood.

We got into the restaurant by accident without prior reservation of a table. We understood that the Restaurant had the highest level of service from the very entrance to the restaurant! We were warmly greeted and taken to one of the most comfortable tables in the room. The impeccable taste and stunning appearance of the dishes we chose only confirmed in us the right choice of restaurant. A great evening and a great mood, thanks to the efforts of the restaurant team! We will definitely come back here many, many times!🥰

I only went to collect vouchers.. Looks lovely and I'm reliably told food is pretty..hence the gift vouchers..

What an amazing experience, lovely setting and the food was out of this world. I would go as far as to say it’s the best meal I’ve had, ever. I would 100% recommend.

Amazing food and service, compliments to the bar staff and the chef. Beautiful set up and everything served to an exceptional standard.

As someone with anxiety it wasn't to bad.

Great food and cocktails! Service was impeccable.

Excellent food tonight, cheerful staff and a lovely relaxing restaurant. Thanks for an excellent evening.

Staff very nice...food amazing...seemed small portions but bang full of flavour and left with no room for more food... So yes very nice all in all

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and looking at the dry ice cocktails you expect a great experience. For us we didn’t get that. Service was slow. Ordered drinks on arrival and they didn’t arrive until the same time as the starters. Starter was great in presentation and taste but both main courses were soo salty that we couldn’t eat them. It was a Saturday night and I they were busy but nobody checking in with us and so after a very long wait I just asked for the bill. Three simple fixes. Speed up bar service, ease up on the seasoning and check in to see if everything is ok. Real shame, it’s expensive so expectation is that it’s good and when it’s not you really question going back. If I’m honest, I don’t think we will. Worth it if the experience had been good… Overpriced when it’s not.

Never again will I give this place my trade, myself and my wife went to deans for lunch, (couldn’t fault the food) We paid the bill and left, the following day the owner phoned and said he had undercharged us! This wasn’t our fault we paid the bill that was presented to us. The way I was spoken to on the phone was nasty & abrupt, not great customer experience. Well chef dean, you have now lost 2 customers that have dined in your restaurant on numerous occasions. NEVER AGAIN WILL WE STEP FOOT IN YOUR RESTAURANT

Lovely experience, very attentive, efficient service, beautifully presented food with amazing flavour. Very good value also. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing delicious lunch wonderful staff and chef will be back again

Good Sunday dinner with friendly staff and nice decor

Classy restaurant. Very tasty venison. Friendly staff.

Excellent food. Service was great.

Just been for lunch and have to say it was absolutely exceptional. I am vegetarian, and had the risotto and my partner had the fish and chips. I tried his ‘mushy’ peas, and they were to die for. So had to order my own which were probably the nicest peas I’ve ever tasted! As a vegetarian I was super impressed. Excellent service and very attentive waiter. A wee golden nugget in the heart of Perth. Hopefully one day we will be back!

Great atmosphere, attentive staff and excellent food. Will definitely visit again 😊

Didn't book but staff welcoming and found us a table. The food was amazing and set lunch menu at £18.50 for 2 courses was good value. A place not to be missed if you are in Perth

Very good food but very slow service!

No words could describe the ambiance and service we received here. Food presentation and taste beyond anything we had experienced anywhere on our travels through Scotland. A must visit if in Perth. Do not miss it.

Visit to Deans on Sunday 22nd May. I did book on website for a Sunday lunch offer 3 course with glass of champagne when we arrived the menu had changed with I understand is noted as subject to change at restaurant discretion. I asked the waiter if the a la carte menu was available to order from to which he replied yes but I will have to take the Prosecco away which he had already served to us I replied that I was happy to pay for the 3 glasses of Prosecco but I felt totally embarrassed that he was saying this in front of other diners that this is the action he would be taking if we didn’t order form the lunch menu. He brought us the other menu to which the 3 course offer also includes a glass of Prosecco so I am still confused as to why he had threatened to take it away. I noticed that most of the food was on the a la carte menu so I offered that as it was 2 people in the party that preferred the a la carte menu that I was happy to order from the Sunday lunch menu when he replied he would need to ask the kitchen if one person can order from a different menu. I wasn’t asking to mix and match food from both menus so I really didn’t see a problem with this so I asked him to remove the Sunday lunch menu from the table. We then ordered a bottle of wine which was not available in stock. This was a 30th birthday dinner and I feel it was spoilt from the word go with the attitude of this waiter and the embarrassment he caused to us. He was definitely not the usual standard of staff I have ever been served by at Deans his customer service was shocking. I would also like to point out the same waiter was out the back of the restaurant having a smoking break when we passed to enter the restaurant I was somewhat surprised when he greeted us as in my opinion he had no time to return inside and wash his hands. The food was amazing as always compliments to the chef and the other 2 waiters the young dark haired girl and the young lad who sever our bread they were both lovey Sorry Deans not sure if I will return anytime soon

Nice restaurant with a small menu and nice service. The ventilation was a bit weak.

Terrific food and service. First time here will definitely not be the last.

Lovely food presented beautifully. Staff very friendly and helpful.

First visit and really enjoyed our family lunch. Some great flavours and dishes!

Went there Sunday evening with an Itison voucher which has its own menu. A vegetarian path and a fish and meat options. The food was superb and we tried all the non veg deliberately to see what they were like. None let us down. It was busy but not overly so, but we had to wait a while for our order to be taken and drink delivered. Once up and running the service was fine. A rather over loud waiter greeting familiar customers did disturb us more than once and a glass dropped at my partner’s feet didn’t help.

Valentine's meal. Lovely, coffee included might have been nice. Slow to get attention to get bill

The best coffee in town best cocktails in town

Foods ok but staff and management need some training in customer service

Had a great 3 course meal for our Xmas day out. Food was amazing. Would definitely recommend it. Lovely staff and nice atmosphere and surroundings.
