Fit Food Bistro in Perth & Kinross

As we are fairly local, we use Compass Cafe as a lunchtime stop. Fantastic food and layout, however, the reason we have marked it 3 is that the staff have a management issue. Don’t know what country most of the staff originate from, but they should not be speaking in their native language in loud voices in front of customers - a huge hospitality ‘no-no’.

Dry, uninteresting pancakes, no butter offered, a drizzle of maple syrup and two rashers of bacon. Woefully under satisfying. Two dry pieces of toast, no butter offered, one rasher of bacon, a single slice of cheese and a fried egg. Difficult to eat as dry and uninteresting, and disappointing. How can you get pancakes and a breakfast sandwich so wrong? Clearly prepared by those who don't understand how to produce appetising and tasty food. You can do better Tiso!

Excellent friendly fast service ,coronation chicken sandwich was delicious,the only reason I’ve taken a point off is the price ,2 sandwiches and 2 drinks was over £20

What a beautiful healthy menu We both had the soup and sandwiches combo. I had soup with brown bread, tuna,egg,peppers,olives and a delicious salad on the side. What a find! Thank you 🙏

Asked for a menu and rudely ignored and then as menu was about to be given to me by one staff member the other snapped that there was only cakes available (3.30pm - fair enough). However , ordered 2 cups of tea and 2 small cakes - £14!! Then approached at table by staff member with jacket on who said she wanted to go home but the cafe needed to be empty… so then we were kicked out! Expensive and poor service, won’t be back.

We ordered a Bacon and egg roll and an Avocado sandwhich. We waited for 45m and no food. A couple came in after us, ordered and got their food before us. We decided to leave and just pay for the two teas that came fairly quickly. The lady made the excuse the wifi wasnt working, didnt even apologise. No Excuse - could have used a pen and paper. Really poor service.👎

Once again, not let down. Very quick service, very friendly staff and lovely food and a happy atmosphere 😃 Dog friendly as well, although we didn’t have our pooch with us today.

I’m traditionally a big fan of the Tiso cafes but not on this occasion. We stopped en-route to the Black Isle and ordered 2 drinks, a breakfast roll & a pancake stack. The drinks were done & dusted, & a distant memory before we enquired about our food taking so long. Apologies were offered & 5 minutes later an OK breakfast roll arrived as did a stack of lukewarm not-fresh pancakes with a fridge-cold banana, honey & yoghurt. £8.25 for pancakes - maybe even yesterday’s? - I could have bought from a supermarket for £1. The cafe is now run by Compass & it doesn’t bode well.

Popped into the Compass Cafe for a bacon roll and coffee and it was absolutely 100%. Very friendly welcome and staff were helpful and cheery. Food was delicious. Will definitely be back.

Went for lunch, could see it was busy but approached by the waitress and just told no, no tables. Not even an estimate of how long. Very poor service which seems to have gone down hill since our last visit

We went here for breakfast and quite frankly we won’t go back. The lady who I think was in charge today made various sarcastic comments about our dog who is still quite young. We were shown to a table out of the way as she said you’ve got a dog. Fair enough. At one point she came to the table and he sat up and put a paw on the table and she said “training’s going well” . Another time when she appeared he sensed someone was at the table and he came out from lying down under the table and briefly hopped onto the bench seat beside my daughter. We immediately told him to get off which he did. A comment was made of “oh do you do that home?” We were always quick to correct him and he wasn’t a nuisance. He was quiet and friendly and other customers came over to pat him. Another comment she made was “he’s cute really, even though…” We don’t allow our dog to put paws on the table at home and we take him to dog training where he’s actually doing ok. We just felt unwelcome here from the start. The cafe advertises as dog friendly as they say they’re part of the family but this staff member obviously would rather dogs weren’t there. I left a small tip as I always do but I really shouldn’t have. We’ll stick to The Tickled Trout who really do welcome dogs.

Upstairs in the Tiso outdoor shop, but managed separately I think. Interesting menu, large portions, well cooked, efficient and speedy service despite being busy, good value. A great place to stop on your way to Inverness and beyond.

Outstanding customer service, the staff were super friendly and the food was first class you could tell they use quality ingredients. Keep up the good work 👍

The menu looks good on paper, but in reality it has a way to go. I opted for the "5 bean vegan chilli with rice and tortilla chips" and a black americano coffee. Coffee was OK but incredibly strong so had to ask fora jug of hot water. Veg chilli came very quickly but alas the chilli part was barely warm so I asked for it to be properly heated. When it came back it was still not really hot enough, but the rice was scalding and tortilla chips were rather darker at the edges than they had been. So the whole plate had been in the microwave; plate and rice pretty hot, chilli not! However i decided to risk it...and whilst it was clearly homemade and the flavour wasn't bad...it was almost completely devoid of beans never mind the 5 varieties (I assume!) that were being offered. I counted 7 chickpeas in the whole thing and so I did actually mention it to the waitress, who couldn't quite believe it and said she'd ask in the kitchen. However I was actually laughing (she wasn't) as i told her that this was quite funny as it has happened to me before in a different cafe that the 5 bean chili had literally 5 beans in it and so now it's a family joke. Anyway, on paying the bill a different person asked if it had all been ok so I told her that I'd mentioned the non- bean situation to my waitress, and so this new person did actually take a couple of quid off my bill, which i thanked her for. (the Mars Bar crispy cake was fine!)

We have visited this cafe lots of times over the years but the standard is poor now. Food was very expensive and the plates were sparse. Cucumber slices in side salad were dry and going brown- poor quality produce. Soup was okay but lacking seasoning and love. It used to be a great cafe but standard are poor and cosy is high

We always stop in here en route from the Highlands to anywhere further south. The coffee is first rate, the scones are fabulous, and the soup is hot and tasty. An absolute bonus is the staff (especially the Eastern European Manageress). They are helpful and friendly, and you certainly get service with a smile. We'll definitely be back next time we are this far south !

Had a great time shopping then coffee in shop. Not so great time receiving £40 fine for staying too long in car park.

Turned up Sunday lunchtime. Seated and served promptly, I opted for the all day breakfast, and my wife the pancakes with maple syrup and bacon. Ive seen a few people questioning the value, but can honestly say we thought it was good. Wasn’t a cheap breakfast, but was generous and good quality.

I honestly can't think how Compass can improve. I've stopped here 3 or 4 times and the service is slways friendy and helpful. Today I chose the veggie breakfast which had a great mix of interesting food - not just straightforward meat substitutes. It was served quickly and was piping hot. Thanks Compass, you really made my day 😀

We tend to stop here for a quick bite to eat on our way down from the Highlands and have a wee rest before continuing our drive. We have come here for years but lately have noticed it is becoming very over priced for what is on offer with erratic service. The lavatories leave a lot to be desired as they could be cleaner and the water flow at the sink should be looked at is was a trickle during my recent visit.

The staff had no urgency to attend to any customers and were more concerned about remaining on their mobiles and chatting among themselves. The staff are overdue a proper training programme as they were incapable of basic customer service.

Had to leave a post after seeing the previous negative review. I am a regular visit here. The food is great and the manager (yes the dark haired lady with the accent) is so friendly and welcoming. Her manner is open and direct, which is capable of being misunderstood, but you can easily see how well she gets on with customers. All the staff work really hard and the service is well organised and efficient. It’s a great place to visit so please give it a shot. It’s also in a large open space, which has been ideal over the pandemic.

Called in for a coffee to decide on what Christmas presents to get from Tiso. Really unpleasant experience with female staff member. On arrival I asked to sit at table with comfy seats and view over shop. Was told these were 6 person tables and not for couples. When I pointed out that 2 tables were free and the other 2 tables already had couples sat at them, the staff member said it was lunch time and there was about to be a rush. I said that the places was not busy and it was 11:20 and we’d be left before lunch. This only made the female staff member even more abrupt and unfriendly. I felt very self conscious to be having this conversation in front of all the other customers who were now watching and listening to this debate. We left feeling we had been treated unreasonably by a rude and unfriendly by a middle aged, dark haired female staff member with an Eastern European accent. I have used this cafe numerous times and bought lots of kit in Tiso, when heading to and from the Cairngorms but will not to calling again. A really rude and embarrassing encounter.

This place doesn’t even deserve a 1 but it’s the lowest score I could give them. I’ve never been so embarrassed ever by the most rude lady ever!!!! Called in for a lite bite just after 11am. Very quiet and loads of tables free. There were 4 number 6 seater tables, 2 were taken with 2 couples and the others were free but had been used by couples as the tables needed to be cleared. Lots of other tables for 2s and 4s available. But these were the best views looking out over the shop. But this “lady” a dark haired foreign National wouldn’t let us sit here as there were only 2 of us. There were already 2 sets of couples using 2 of the other 6 seater tables. She needed these tables for lunchtime rush……it was 11.20am…. My husband went back to reason with her and explain that we were only going to be 20 minutes and showed her how the cafe wasn’t busy, but she got very vocal in front of all the other customers. We’ve called here in numerous occasions, as it’s a great outdoor shop, and one of our favourites. But I have never been spoken to ever in that way. This is also a very poor reflection on Tiso even though this cafe is ran independently to them. It would put us off shopping here also. I’m sorry I didn’t ask the “lady” her name, but she’s a dark haired foreign National, and she’ll know exactly who she is. I never want to step foot in here again!!!

We loved this café and as a lunch stop on the way north it was brilliant! However, this time around the menu and staff seem to have changed and we didn't enjoy the food or the atmosphere as we usually did!

We were on our way north and called in here for lunch as we've done before. The food was lovely as always and the girl serving us was very pleasant and helpful. We've been here several times and it's a very convenient food and toilet...

Popped upstairs after shopping in Tiso. Lovely scones with butter and little pots of jam. Good coffee.

Popped in with my daughter for a cracking wee lunch. Soup and sandwich deal and a "normal" coffee for me, really nice! Enjoy the food on offer, soup today was Potato and cheddar, cracking!

What a find often stopped to visit the shop but never thought about eats, fantastic varied menu to cover most tastes, the homemade soup. sandwiches, cakes everything excellent.

Very dog friendly shop, however the cafe is no dogs allowed. Menu looked nice but we had to leave due to this.

Situated inside Tiso which is visible from the Inveralmond roundabout, this cafe is upstairs and seemed to be very popular on a Saturday afternoon. We wanted a light lunch, and I was tempted by the soup which I think was cauliflower and cheese or something...

We have been to Fit Food Bistro twice recently - once as a family group and once as a couple. Both visits were excellent as well as facilitating purchases in Tisos. Great menu choice available! Quality food at reasonable prices! Helpful and friendly staff! Thanks.

Wasn’t expecting it to be anything special but was really surprised how nice the baked potato was and how pleasant the staff were ..kids enjoyed the soft play

Been here lots of times but decided to bring my puppy this time as I was shopping in tiso. Dogs aren't allowed in the cafe but if you sit at the first table as you enter the cafe you can actually get your dog quite close to you.

Oh dear! What has happened to this place? Last time we were there (a year or so ago) the food was great - but no more. We stopped for a quick bite on our way north and my wife asked for pancakes with syrup and coffee. When the pancakes arrived they were impossibly dry and doughy (frozen beforehand?) and it would have taken a forensic specialist to find any syrup on them. My wife left the whole plate. The cappuccinos were bitter and undrinkable. Presumably cutback orders from management, but they've lost four customers anyway. Shame.

Visited on 15th October. Sandwich good, apart from margarine (YEUCH!!!) having been used and not butter. I asked the waitress who checked with the Chef and apparently they have used margarine, not butter in their sandwiches for the past 2 years. How bizarre. It's disgusting stuff. Please change to butter, or at least give customers the option of a reasonable alternative. This margarine tasted cheap and spoiled an otherwise good roast beef sandwich.

We love this combination of shopping, playing and eating. The softplay for the kids is probably the biggest draw but hard to choose. Shame they changed the dog policy it was better before.

A nice place for lunch when out shopping or driving down the A9. Really friendly service. Good value sandwiches and a huge selection to chose from.

Popped into Tiso at the weekend and decided to have some breakfast. I tried the vegetarian breakfast while my partner had the eggs benedict.

A waitress came to top up the water bowl at the dog tether station first even though we had been waiting for more than 5 minutes waiting to be shown a table. That should have been the warning sign; when our order was taken we waited 30 minutes just for two soup (which proved to be bland) and sandwich combos. Not sure what ticket system the kitchen uses but it doesnt work. Very disappointed as this used to be a favourite of ours.

Visited here en-route to Aberfeldy. It was really busy but we got seated quickly as there was only the two of us. Ordered a panini, coffee, coke and a scone. The panini was well filled and delicious. The fruit scone was just as a scone should be. It was also huge. Served with butter and jam, a little clotted cream would have made it better. Staff were all very friendly and attentive. Well worth a visit.

Visited here for breakfast and were impressed. The cafe is located on the upper floor of the shop and is cleand spacious. Waitresses were friendly and efficient and the full Scottish breakfast at £8.95 was well worth the money. Large menu on offer. Worth a visit if you are passing through Perth.

Only had a short time to get something to eat so I didn’t know if this would be a good place or not. Shouldn’t have worried, we got the cooked breakfast and couldn’t be happier. Service was quick and food ideal. Polish, I think, waitress/ manageress really friendly and was happy to discuss various options with the group, so everyone got what they wanted. Would definitely come back.

Stopped for something to eat. Egg wasn’t cooked. Asked for no butter on roll, got butter. The menu couldn’t be further from ‘Fit Food’ if it tried. Service haphazard, more interested in chatting to each other than customer service. We won’t be back

So today I was invited to an interview and the way I was spoken too was disgusting. I was asked if I would like a drink and said yeah I would like a cup of tea but I only got tea and milk so I asked for some sugar and was told I would be charged for it. Secondly they then asked me why I left my other jobs then stated i seem to cause a lot of drama and this wouldn’t be the type of job for me. Then told me they wouldn’t like to continue the interview only being there for 5 minutes. So I then left and I burst into tears and phoned my mum. They then told her I walked in like I owned the place because I was bubbly and said hi to someone I know. In my opinion I wouldn’t advise anyone to go here.

Stopped here to have a bite to eat on the route North, it was very busy but we were still seated promptly. We ordered soup and sandwich both of which were very tasty and fresh, tried a Chai Latte which was lovely and would definitely recommend it.An ideal place to stop for a break as their are toilets and you can have a browse round the clothing section too.

Intended to have lunch, waited for menus for several minutes place was not really busy, waitress noticed we were still looking for some attention and shouted over from counter we would be attended to soon.

Wow what a chicken club sandwich bread was so fresh very tasty highly recommend coffee was lovely as well will defo be back 👍Cakes all looked amazing but was to full will be having one next time👌

Stopped here for lunch. Overpriced . White bread stale . Baked potato dried out . Tasted as though they had boiled them...

The food was passable, but the experience was soured by the waitress' manner. After being provided with menu's we were approached twice within 5 minutes asking if we were ready to order.

No estoy seguro de cómo mi comida estaba hecha, pero es la primera vez que he tenido con salsa holandesa salsa la piel. Los huevos estaban ligeramente cruda, pero no se puede pedir a quejarse, no creo que hubiera registrado. Me dio la sensación de que no estábamos muy valorado como cliente y el personal eran hace los trámites. Se prueba la próxima vez M&S; cafe - menos niños gritando en el fondo.

Lugar estaba tan ocupado, pero aun así nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa. Chica polaca kasia estaba buscando después de nosotros y ella fue muy alegre y amable. Tenemos una sopa y sándwiches, pero usted puede fácilmente decir que fue recién caseros. Mi leche caliente era realmente finalmente encontré un lugar donde es hecho como A MI ME GUSTA (calor, calor, calor). Sin duda volveremos. Lugar que vale la pena para probarlo.

Utilizada para esperamos parando aquí en el norte para una buena sopa fresca y sandwich. Tenía una decepcionante visita hace unos meses y pensamos que sería un pero por desgracia hoy era peor. Macarrones estaba tibia y sin sabor, pollo stovies también estaba tibia. Té llegó rápidamente, pero estaba casi terminada antes de la comida llegó. No volveremos a comer aquí.

Hoy vine aquí solo que estaba bien, excepto cuando estás en tu propio notas cosas que quizás no lo contrario. Yo tenía un sabroso, aunque caro, sándwich y una mediocre sopa. El suelo es rugoso, y con el personal y los clientes, me rebotaron marchando alrededor a través de mi almuerzo, que era irritante. También muy ruidoso, pero desde la tienda es esencialmente en un gran cobertizo, este probablemente no ayudó. El personal era simpático, sin embargo, y la comida era rápido. Parada aceptable estilo café.

Tener una cafetería al aire libre encima de una tienda es ideal para exterior - tipo de personas hacia el norte desde las tierras bajas de Escocia o Inglaterra. Excelente ubicación junto a la A9. Seguimos un vistazo a Tiso con un café y sándwich en el entresuelo mirando hacia abajo en todo el montañismo, senderismo y escalada cosas. La comida es de primera calidad con un montón de cocina escocesa y el servicio era muy amable y acogedor.

Went for lunch and asked what tray bakes were in the refrigerated counter and amazingly not one of the 3 people behind the counter could tell me what some of the items were. I did enjoy what I had but had to taste it before I knew what it was. Come on folks - if its on your counter then you should know what it is !!

Came across this place by accident. Only wanted to pop into Tiso, but once my nephew saw the soft play that was us for an hour so decided to have lunch too!It was very very busy when we arrived but the manager managed to find us a table for 4 plus room for a high chair. Yes, it is table service, not quite sure why as you can easily order, pay for your food and then get them to bring it over. However, it works and we enjoyed a range of paninis between us and a large fruit scone. My sister had to ask a question regarding her nut allergy and the chef himself came out to speak to her wanting to make sure he got the order right. The staff were friendly and polite, mostly very young and still learning (this may be because we were there on a Saturday) but the manager was around and came over a few times to make sure everything was ok. Overall, a great find with fantastic food, good management, reasonable prices and the soft play is a bonus!

It was busy when we got in but got a seat immediately and the waitress appeared with menus and to take our order a few mins later. I had a lovely Scottish breakfast and coffee :) very chuffed!

Visited by myself as I had a couple of hours to kill. I've been before and was able to order at the counter but was advised it was table service. Sat down and waited around ten minutes for the waitress to bring a menu. She firstly complained about there being 'so many people here today' - it had been open for approximately an hour and a half and s handful of tables were occupied. She then slammed a menu down in front of me and immediately asked 'do you know what you want!' I asked for a coffee as I quickly scanned the menu as she practically sat on my shoulder, she gave me around 5 seconds before she said 'do you want something to eat?' I felt so harassed that I just said no thank you, although I didn't manage to read even half of it, and she whipped the menu away and disappeared without another word. I eventually received my coffee. I later witnessed another waitress rubbing her nose with gusto before preparing food and drinks with her unwashed hands. Delightful.

It's so handy after a nice walk from town but I always leave feeling disappointed. The staff are nice enough but not many pleasantries and they always look harassed. The coffee(latte) left a taste in my mouth and went cold too quickly. Poached eggs on toast was fine but had to ask for butter and then go and get more. Another in our company had to go and get her own ketchup. The till system seemed to be taking so long or didn't accept us paying individually but ended up paying together to save time. It wasn't busy but the two waiting staff seemed harassed.

This place used to be really great for food. Service was fabulous and the food was fresh as well as good value for money. My recent visit was disappointing due to the stale bread used on my sandwich and the lack of filling for the price. It seems a little chaotic in the way it is run now and the general manager seems a little flustered at times. It is a shame but definitely could be improved with a few changes.

Handy bistro cafe upstairs in Tiso's store on the outskirts of Perth. Despite being busy we were seated quickly and were served promptly too. I've read various reviews of this cafe, some of which were less than complimentary, however, I can honestly say in my experience the level of service and standard of food could not be faulted.

Visited 20/12/16 for lunch and Christmas shopping with my Dad. Have visited for food multiple times before but was let down on this occasion. I ordered the Olympic Gold wrap - not toasted - and my Dad the vegetable soup. Waitress was friendly enough to begin with. However food arrived and my wrap was toasted and my dads was the wrong soup, accompanied with stale bread. When the waiter came along a few minutes later with our drinks, we explained that the wrong food had been served to us. He didn't seem to know how to react; stumbled through and apology but there was no offer for replacement for either of the items. When going to pay we complained to the cashier (who also happened to be the original waitress). There was a brief apology which we were underwhelmed with, before she asked what method of payment we would use. We regularly visit this outlet and know they can do better. Disappointed after this visit and will think twice before returning.

This is the second time my husband and myself have had lunch here, both times we have had the soup, It was very tasty and the service was fantastic as per usual, We usually just had coffee, but from now on this will be one of our lunch places, So thank you to all the Staff, Merry Christmas

During a very brief visit to the Perth area, we made a bee-line for Tiso, the mountain clothing shop, and also to have a spot of lunch.The cafe overlooks the shop floor and was very busy. It obviously attracted lots of locals to sample the food.I ordered the Olympic Gold jacket spud, with mozzarella, roasted butternut squash, roasted tomatoes, pesto and salad.It was a proper baked potato, very tasty and a generous portion. The menu clearly described gluten free etc options, so there's no worries about asking questions etc and feeling like you're being awkward.My dining companion had a jacket spud with tuna and salad.The service was quick, efficient and very friendly.If we are in the area again, we'd definitely revisit.

Soup sounded appealing but had to return it for reheating. Taste was not wholesome.Waitress was unclear when I asked her about bread options as accompaniment. I opted for granary style. This was a heel chunk of very dry bread.And another thing. Why are you serving me water in a jar with a handle, and a straw?Please. You can't really top a glass of water.I know some folk write whinging reviews as a hobby. I don't do reviews usually, but this lunch experience was dire, actually. Will anyone sort it? (Mine isn't the only poor review).

Nice place for a snack lunch. Varied choice of dishes on the menu. Staff very nice and friendly. Quick service. Plenty of parking spaces.

Lovely soupA very busy staff but pleasant none the less A great pit stop off the A9.Definitely go back

Upstairs from the giant Tiso store on the edge of Perth. Great coffee. Good selection of cakes and buns and variously filled baked potato, panini and sandwishes. Several vegetarian options. But sorry - didn't think much of the new festive horsechestnut and mushroom filling.

We have eaten here several times in the past, the last time being a year ago! I chose the soup as usual and looked forward to it as it was chunky vegetable broth. However, when it was served most of the soup was barley - I found 2 or pieces of carrot and a couple of pieces of leek - not what I would describe as chunky vegetable - in my opinion, it ought to have been called barley soup! It was served with one piece of bread and I had to ask for butter. My husband's ciabatta was better and I complained about the soup so wasn't charged! I believe the chef has changed since our last visit - I was very disappointed!

I love this bistro lovey staff and great food.Always clean and consistent. Great for breakfast with varied menu , great for lunch as wellHas plenty car parking spaces and close to other shops

Go here regularly and food is constantly super. Staff are friendly. Very awkward customer in queue infront of me and manager dealt very calmly and efficiently with her. (think I would have told her where to go). Definitely recommend.

First time going with me and my family and we all enjoyed our food very much , the staff are more than kind and are very lovely people food was brilliant and Such quick service!! Will definitely visit again, and will recommend to friends.

Our favourite coffee place while we have stayed in Perth. We have visited many times, for coffee brunch and lunch, easy parking and toilets available. Brilliant food service and ambience.

Great service which has improved now and the food here is good wholesome , well cooked and prompt. very good value we love it

My wife and I called in here midway through a long drive home. I don't know what I was expecting but It certainly wasn't table service. We were quickly shown to a table. I asked the waiter what soup was available and was told that there was no soup left. We had intended to have Soup and a Sandwich. We were then left for just over 10 minutes before the same waiter came to take our order. I pointed out that I'd seen soup being served to diners who has come in after us. I asked the waiter to check again, amazingly Cream of Cauliflower soup was now available, hmm, However, we decided to just have a sandwich, Cheese & Pickle toasted and Egg and Mayo, both were fine, our sandwiches were accompanied by coffee, which again was fine. However, I wouldn't visit again, the service wasn't all that I would have desired and I still can't fathom our why there was no soup and then there was? Seating note try to avoid the far end of the dining area, unless you have children as it overlooks the children's play area and can be quite noisy.

Great pit stop for food in way up A9. Busy cafe. Yummy soup and coffee and a soft play. Total result.

First class service and foodStaff very helpful and friendly Especially DerekLovely home made soup and fresh breadChoices of panini, sandwiches, rolls,baked potatoes etc.Good choice of cakes something for everyone also have kids menuDefinitely worth a visit The cafe had an off day last weekend with only one grill working They continued to provide hot lovely foods and apologised for delaySomething they couldn't foresee Definitely worth a visitAnd will definitely be back

V.tasty food, A1 service. Great for a coffee or snack after shopping or as a journey break on the A9. Recommended (especially chocolate broken biscuit cake)!

This is a wee cafe type arrangement based in Tiso. There's a great variety of food based around sandwiches/panini/wrap/baked potato. Good range of drinks and bakes too. It's regularly busy and service can vary a little at peak times, but you can always pop up to the counter to speed things along. Staff are typically friendly and food is lovely and fresh. A great wee stop if you're on a North/South journey on the A9 or if you need refuelled before heading into Perth proper.

Usually can't fault the place but today we had to wait over 20 mins on a coffee a day a soft drink people even came in after us and were served quicker!!

We visited here 10 months ago. I gave it 5 stars. Lovely food, busy eatery and decent staff. We thought we'd return today and it is just awful.Sat down and were given menus. Gone are the burgers and the French platter that we'd raved about on our previous visit. All on offer is soup, various forms of sandwich and a baked potato. We were disappointed with the selection but hungry. We had to call a waitress to ask what the specials were. Some chilli panini type thing and the soup was lentil or potato and leek. We ordered a ham sandwich for our son, one of each of the soups on offer, a cheese and ham toastie and a chicken and avocado panini. Drinks of water and Diet Coke.Drinks came first. All warm so returned for cold ones. Can I have some ice please? No, sorry we've run out (on a Saturday lunchtime!). Drinks came with plastic cups whereas other tables had glasses. Ham sandwich for our son was just that, 2 slices of verging on stale bread (decent ham though) and one piece of cucumber and one quarter of a tomato.Lentil soup was reasonable. If I weren't so hungry it would have been returned for being lukewarm. Leek and potato soup was vile and couldn't be eaten by either of us having swapped around. Toastie had a miserable amount of filling and the panini was tiny. Staff had no interest at all and didn't even ask why a full bowl of soup wasn't eaten. What have you done to your menu? We were thrilled with our first visit and were really looking forward to stopping in today. For half the price we should have gone to Marks and Soencer and eaten in the car. Today the cafe was less than a quarter full compared to waiting for a table last year. I wonder if this is as a result of the menu.Very, very disappointing. It was so good.

The member of staff was on her phone leaning on the counter and when she made us coffee she walked over looking at it her before putting it in her apron pocket. That was very unproffessional. The guy who brought us our rolls appologised and asked if there was anything he can do. He also explained the manager and supervisor where not in for the complaint. The food was nice and but to look at that when you are in a break from work is appaling.

We make a point of dropping in here for food whenever we are heading up the A9. It's much busier than it used to be, but the staff are friendly and efficient and the food is great - they have something for everyone, and a much better selection of vegetarian and gluten-free options than most cafes. Really good value, too.

Met friends here who were travelling south on the A9. Very handy location for it! Have eaten a few times before and never been disappointed. Menu is extensive and interesting and the prices are more than adequate. Great breakfast menu, coffee and good cakes. What's not to like?

A great atmosphere within an outdoor clothing store,a great selection of quality food. At a reasonable price

It was busy which we didnt expect on a Sunday. The kids food was good and they enjoyed the melons had to buy one. The cappuccino and latte done to perfection. The food was also good I recommend Highlander panin. Our waiter took time to find out if there was anything we wanted and even had a chat with the kids and they said he is a funny blackguy and he is so friendly.

Parking outside is free but you should give your registration number to a member of Tiso staff just in case you want to say longer than 2.5 hours (there are lots more shops, an M&S etc in addition to Tiso). The Fit Food Bistro is upstairs in Tiso and you wait to be seated. Six of us were eating but not everyone arrived at once - still it was no trouble to arrange a table for six for us. Excellent service - all done easily with a cheery smile. The menu looked attractive with soup (choice of two), sandwiches (choice of bread), panini, baked potato or salad. Efficient taking of our food order, putting everything into an ipad type device. Food was top quality, large helpings, very enjoyable. The BBC sandwich (Bacon, Bri, Cranberry and rocket) was just fantastic. Various coffees included Americano, Cappuccino which were both good (plenty of cocoa on the Cappuccino). Also an excellent kids lunch deal in a bag with games to play etc. Six lunches came to well under £50, exceptional value for healthy, very enjoyable meals. All the staff were exceptionally helpful, really nice people. There is a softplay area for children down a stair from the cafe. It cost £4 for each child - looked fun but we had run out of time.

This is a handy cafe on the road north. Parking is free and the snacks are good and wholesome. Soup is invariably tasty and the sandwiches are generous. Although it can get quite busy, staff are efficient and we've never had to wait long. Great facility for kids too, with a large climbing frame. So all in all a good spot!

The cafe area was extrememly busy when we arrived and grabbed one of the last tables available. We were initially worried about the potential wait to eat but this was completely unfounded. Our order was quickly taken and after a very short wait our hot food and coffee arrived at our table. Food was tasty and as ordered. We also noticed how efficently any vacant tables were cleared and cleaned after use. Overall a good experience and we were really impressed by the quality and efficiency of the service given how busy the cafe was at the time.

Good cafe for family. Good range of "basic" food on the menu. All food served very quickly and freshly prepared. Service was faultless. Soft play area available for families although it comes at a cost! Didn't try the home baking but what I saw looked very tempting.

The staff are always lovely, and the food is pretty good - today's special the pulled pork was amazing. The coffee is very strong (which I like) and the cake is good too.

Decided to try the cafe on 2nd July after visiting Tiso. Looked nice, and menu was okay. Our food came on dirty plates, maybe a dishwasher problem, we were given our drinks in plastic cups, (everyone else in restaurant seemed to have been given a glass). When food arrived mine had large clumps of hard overcooked haggis, which I could not bring myself to eat. My baked potato was dry, and had 3 pieces of chicken in a potato that cost £6.70. No one came near us to ask how the food was, so my potato sat largely uneaten. Eventually we gave up waiting for someone to come over and just paid the bill and left. Wish we had gone to M&S just a few metres away. I sent an email to Tiso when I got home, and the manager responded quickly to tell me he had passed the email on to the manager of the history, who has yet to address it. I won't ever visit this cafe again. Our bill was only £25, but it's £25 I wish we'd spent somewhere else.
