Monteaths Restaurant in Perth & Kinross

We were staying at Gleneagles and made the mistake of not booking into a restaurant on our first night so found this place to eat. The food was beautiful I had beetroot and goats cheese starter and was very impressed all delicious… My only niggle was the drinks were quite slow in arriving but don’t let that put you off..

Delicious food and great service. We had 3 courses all were delicious. I chose the vegetarian choices and all tasty. No complaints at all. Friendly service, food arrived quickly

This is an upmarket restaurant in a delightful estate (Duchally) ten minutes south-east of the Gleneagles resort. Just off the A823. The dining room is principally divided into two sections - two lovely rooms, boldly decorated. The food is excellent, well presented, innovative and tasty. Top marks. It isn’t cheap but……we managed just over the ton for two. Though only two glasses of wine and a single, shared starter and dessert. 12.5% service added. Try it I am pretty sure you will relish the experience. I will just also mention the young, very obliging table staff. Thanks to you all.

Outstanding food and great service too. I had the beetroot and feta to start then the duck for main. Cooked to perfection! Just wish we hadn’t waited until our last night to visit as would have definitely returned. Highly recommend!

Pleasant meal and nice staff. Food is as expected. Come early to get a good table by the window. Table is large which is always a plus.

My wife and I stayed in the hotel for an evening and really enjoyed our dinner here. All the servers were excellent including Jodie. The restaurant did an amazing job in catering to our needs as we are both Vegan, the food was delicious I would really recommend the Dahl. Would definitely visit again. Thank you for your amazing service. Steven & Erin

We spent 3 nights in the resort & had dinner in the restaurant twice. Great menu & food was delicious. Well presented & cooked to order. Staff are great. Definitely worth a visit.

Tucked away in the Duchally Wyndham Resort Auchterarder is this great restaurant called Monteaths. Everyone talks about Gleneagles Resort but I had never heard of this place before. You can eat here even if you’re not staying at the hotel or lodges but you have to book a table. Food is SOOOOOOO GOOOD you really must try and decide for yourselves. The prices are very competitive. We really were delighted with the Food and the Service we received. Keep up the Greatness guys at Monteaths.

We had our Golden Wedding in the Glendevon. Many thanks to Sarah for organising our lunch. Waiting staff were so attentive and food was amazing. Thank you for making our day extra special. Would highly recommend for a special occasion.

Had a lovely meal while staying at Duchally Estate. We had Sweet potato, chilli & coconut soup and the Smoked salmon & prawn salad starters. Seabass and Haddock & chips main courses were good size portions and were delicious. Staff were great and always get great service. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I visited this restaurant recently for dinner. Overall, it was a decent enough meal, but things could certainly improve, and it was a little pricey for what we got. Our starters were tasty enough but I was a little disappointed with my prawn cocktail. The portion was quite small compared to most other places I've ordered this. My dish consisted of prawns, sauce and a few lettuce leaves, nothing more. My wife had lamb with dauphinoise potatoes. Whilst she said everything was very tasty, the portion of potatoes was simply tiny. It really needed to be twice as much as what was on her plate. We ordered a bottle of wine which I believe was about £31. When the waiter poured some for my wife to taste, it had to be taken away as it was very unpleasant. We then had to order a more expensive wine, which was better than the first, but still wasn't great. At least we weren't charged for the first bottle we ordered, but then why should we have been when we didn't/couldn't drink it. The only reasonable value on the night was the dessert. Again, it was a little pricey compared to most other restaurants at the same level, but at least it was very pleasurable to eat. We have eaten at Monteith's several time before, and had much better experiences than this last visit. Whilst the food is decent enough quality, the portion sizes really do need to be improved in order to justify the prices charged. Overall, Montheaths has room for improvement.

Being that the restaurant here is closed both on a Monday & Tuesday night I opted to try their takeaway menu. The Thai green curry seemed to sound like a tasty treat so I opted for that. The curry itself wasn’t too bad, plenty of chicken & peppers, a nice fragrance coming off it was quite tasty, but the accompanying rice was a complete let down. A small measly portion of overcooked clumpy (not sticky) rice that was hard & tasteless - It looked like it was scraped from the bottom of the pan. Admittedly as I was so hungry due to not eating all day I scoffed the lot so couldn’t really ask them to re-cook it. On the upside the rest of my family shared a takeaway pizza from the health spa, they thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had both dinner and breakfast in Monteaths. Our dinner was superb! Beautifully presented and perfectly balanced flavours. A small menu but actually there’s something for every taste. We stayed here just at the start of the alcohol ban but the lovely bar staff had been very inventive by concocting some fabulous mocktails! All of the staff that we met, during our stay, were just lovely, so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious as well, lots to choose from and cooked to perfection. All in all a super stay.

Very good and polite service All dishes really well presented and great value at under £30 for three course Quality decent but didn’t set the heather on fire in terms of flavour Enjoyed the venison haggis Bon Bons starter

Staying in Duchally so booked restaurant. Food well priced and delicious. Service was great too. Very busy so worth booking beforehand. Really good visit.

Visited this restaurant during my weekend stay in the area and couldn't have been happier with the experience on this occasion. The staff were all really friendly and happy to advise on options on the menu, which was great value for money. My wife opted for the steak as her main and it was cooked to perfection the way she had ordered it. I ordered the mouth watering fish and that too was cooked the way I like it. I usually order a sweet, when on holiday, but was too full after my starter and main so decided to skip it on this occasion. Overall, I found the prices to be good value for money and the food quality to comparable with more expensive restaurants in the area. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are holidaying in the area.

The food is lovely, well presented and value for money. Staff happy to swop starter s if not on set menu. The rib eye steak was great. All staff at Duchally were pleasant and polite. Will be happy to stay again.

had lunches here and they were delicious and reasonable in price....the staff were helpful and efficient and had a great selection for everyone from panni;s to meals.... and the whole area in general a must for a visit......especially if going to the golf at gleneagles........lovely tranquil place to stay and minutes from the golf course

During our stay at the lodge, we booked dinner for 4 in the restaurant. Nothing was any trouble to the staff. They were helpful, friendly and just really lovely. The food was outstanding. It was fresh and tastes amazing. All four of us cleaned our plates. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much to everybody at Duchally estate for making our weekend so comfortable, memorable and an all round perfect experience.

We booked for mid afternoon and were shown into the conservatory for tea . Pleasant setting with plenty of light Nice array of sandwiches and cakes on a nice presentation cake stand . The staff were friendly and helpful

Just back from our second visit to the Duchally Estate. This time we had both Afternoon Tea and an evening meal in the restaurant. Afternoon Tea was fantastic we chose the option with a Gin & Tonic which was lovely. We received a great mix of sandwiches, scones and cakes all tasting delicious. We ordered some snacks off the menu for our kids as well. Our evening meal was also great. We all (2 adults, 3 children) had three courses with various drinks and the bill was very reasonable. Menu has something for everyone and kids menu also has a varied choice. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and all staff are very attentive.

Went here twice for dinner, once breakfast while staying at Duchally Estates cottage (which were *excellent*). Our son was allowed to eat free, always a plus. The breakfast buffet was a mix of standard fare and some Scottish specialties like black pudding. Perfectly acceptable fort he price, nothing remarkable. Dinner was not cheap but reasonable for what we saw elsewhere. They have a kids menu with good option (again, kids ate free). I actually preferred their pasta-based vegetarian diner entrée over the meat dishes my wife got. Save room for the sticky toffee pudding, second best we had in Scotland and a sizeable portion. I preferred this diner to Andrew Fairlie's, comparing the ratio of meal price to meal enjoyment. :D

Food is nothing special, portions are standard but prices are high. Recommended you book as not many tables.We were a family of 6 and only had a main meal and one drink each which was £100 and 2 of those were children’s meals.its nothing special but nice atmosphere sat in conservatory and was lovely.

Visited the restaurant while staying in the hotel, the food was absolutely delicious and my boyfriends steak was the best he had had in a long time! The girl serving us was super and I cannot fault our experience of the restaurant at all. Hope to be back to soon!

Great staff.great menu and the food was excellent.We chose from the set menu which has a variety of dishes,enough to please everyone.

The menu was limited but the options sounded delicious I had monkfish with sautéed potatoes, potatoes and veg undercooked. Then I had pork belly and mash, the jus was lovely but the pork had a thick layer of fat on top not the crispy crackling expected very off puttting and disappointing. My husband had the chicken terrine which he said was ok, then a burger and chips which he said was nice with onion rings kitchen couldn’t manage to get burger,chips and onion rings ready at same time though so he had almost finished meal by time they arrived. Both had sticky toffee pudding for dessert which was lovely and we would order again. All staff were very pleasant and helpful no faults with service. Restaurant itself very clean and nice. Not many people in when we went. I wouldn’t go back here lots of other restaurants in the area with more choice and better execution.

I booked a table at Monteaths to meet friends for an ‘early’ Xmas lunch on Sunday 2 December. We were not residents and had been in the premises before. When we arrived we were offered the option of a table in the actual restaurant or the bar area where a fire was on and another family were eating lunch. We opted for the bar area. The waitress who meet us was very friendly. However from there on in the experience went down hill. The service was poor after 2 hours we still had not ordered a dessert or coffee etc despite asking to do so. In that period the bar area became busy and the barman decided to put the TV on which was virtually next to us. In fairness the volume was was switched ‘off’ however suffice to say that changed after our ‘2 hour’ experience and that was really the final straw. The quality of the food was also poor and after complaining about the TV we were offered a table in the actual restaurant- well what a surprise the place was totally empty - what great festive cheer. We decided enough was enough and left.

We had a superb dinner here and couldn’t recommend it any higher. All of our starters and mains were very well prepared and the service was wonderful. Would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

We had a meal here on Thursday, it was lovely, nice setting the service was good. it was a nice experience and the food was lovely

I visited Monteaths on Sunday August 26th with my family as we were staying on the resort, despite booking a table for 6pm we were the only ones in the restaurant until around 7:15pm when it started to fill up.

My wife and I went to Monteath’s restaurant in Duchally hotel for dinner an we had a very nice meal, service was excellent. After dinner we were entertained by the live music in the bar.

We had dinner here while staying in one of the lodges. Staff were welcoming and offered to keep food warm while my daughter-in-law tried to settle my granddaughter who woke up just as it arrived. All four adults were happy with their food although my son had the trout which was pretty small and did not come with much in the way of potatoes and vegetables.

We loved the dining room, and the young ladies serving were really lovely and very engaging. We enjoyed our meal and would go back.

While the service and surroundings are lovely the food definitely lets this restaurant down ......room for improvement. We would still return due to the wonderful service on the Estate however probably not return to Monteaths.

We had a family meal in this restaurant,we ordered from the set menu and the food was great and well presented .The staff were very friendly

Really Good Steaks! Homemade soups also a highlight. Home made breads with dips are a nice touch. Good selection of whisky in the wiskey bar!

Had dinner here recently and was underwhelmed. Limited menu and fish dish was served undercooked and lukewarm. Musical entertainment in the Whisky Bar was fun and created a nice atmosphere however bar staff struggled to make a decent Expresso Martini which was disappointing.

Ate here whilst staying at the Estate. 3 times and didn't disappoint. the home made soups are lovely and try the lamb (oh and Steaks!)

Ideal if you’re staying in one of the Lodges . Choice of fixed menu or a la carte , well supported by decent wine list . Service is enthusiastic and yet professional , food is well prepared suggesting a more than capable kitchen .You are assured of a warm welcome .

Family of five adults had a meal on a Saturday evening. We were presented with two menus, a set menu & a la carte. We all decided to eat from the a la carte but when presented with the bill we discovered that some of the meals were available from the set menu and as such our bill was less expensive. This was done without us mentioning it which we were delighted with. The food was lovely and our waitress was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed without being obtrusive. It was a warm evening and we were next to an open window which we were pleased about as sometimes it can be uncomfortable in restaurants in warm weather. The menu was fairly extensive, as was the wine list. I would thoroughly recommend dining here.

We stayed at Duchally and had lunch and dinner here. They try to present food that is a tad bit more uppity than standard pub food, and succeed mostly. Their heritage tomato salad was a pretty sight, and pretty good too, so too their Isle of Lewis mussels. Their scallops came with a squid ink crackerwhich was quite a novelty, but their beef and ale pie was somewhat salty.

Lovely food. No matter what we requested, the catering staff managed to provide it, whether indoor BBQ or dinner for 17 with five hours notice, all happened smoothly. Thanks.

Muy decepcionado con comida familiar en el whisky bar que sirve el mismo menú que el restaurante el monteath al lado. Inicialmente, el camarero encantador y copas rápidamente. El deterioro del servicio y sin embargo tuvimos largas para platos principales y postres para ser servido....

Todo empezó con una llamada de teléfono para una reserva de última hora y de 5 estrellas por el servicio al cliente. El joven por teléfono no podría haber sido más servicial conseguirme una mesa de último minuto. Llegamos a una cálida bienvenida y de...

Comimos allí el jueves por la noche y 2 platos por £20 oferta era sin duda un valor como la calidad de la comida es muy buena! El personal es muy amable y bien informado sin duda recomendaría

Buena comida bien presentada y un precio muy razonable. no puedo quejarme de eso. El personal también son excelentes y cuando sabían que era mi cumpleaños celebró en licores gratis y me dieron una tarta. Todo bien hecho en Monteith.

Stayed on estate for a week, ate here twice food is fine nothing exceptional bordering average and the menu does not change so when eaten once choices are limited. Have to say steer away from the fish and chips has to be the worst better I have ever had soggy and oily ruined the fish inside. The asparagus and stilton soup was the best part of the meal which really says it all when the soup is the best dish

Excellent for dinner and breakfast. Attentive staff and good choices. Nice surroundings - no problems at all

As per my review within the hotel review, the restaurant staff are very friendly and attentive, bringing water and checking everything was alright. The food was excellent, the salmon and stone bass both very tasty and beautifully presented. I can t comment on dessert as I was far too full after 2 courses to attempt a 3rd. The wine, tried one glass of white and one glass of red, were both very dinkable and not overpriced. I would definitely recommend staying in to eat if you're staying at the hotel or in the lodges.

Eat here while staying in the hotel. Food was of good quality, but the choices were very limited especially as we ate her 3 nights in a row. Beef and Venison were good, but little choice for vegetarians, fish or white meat lovers.Staff were lovely and service was prompt and efficient

We have been many times to the restaurant and food is excellent and fresh and cooked to perfection. No complaints highly recommend.

Misordered food and not very good food anyway . Sorting out bill was a struggle even though they got there in the end! But made me feel like they were doing me a favour. The family did not want to eat there again ,which is a pity as it was so convenient.

Arrived for dinner 2 cold starters took over 30 mins, also forgot to bring water we had asked for on arrival, another 45 mins to bring main course waiter apologies for delay "kitchen busy tonight" I could only see another 10 people in restaurant, then forgot one of the sides had to cook it from scratch again too late, food was bland and very average I don't really blame waiters its obviously the kitchen at fault Gordon Ramsey needs to work his magic in there, I would not rush back.

The food was good - but not good enough for our celebration. We expected more for the price we paid. Perfectly acceptable if it had been half the price.

We were staying at Duchally Country Estate with friends and dined on several occasions in Monteaths restaurant. The choice of food was excellent, the staff were very helpful and the meals were always of a very high standard. If staying in the hotel, the breakfast is also very good with plenty of choice.

Good food and good atmosphere. Staff all helpful and friendly. Plenty of choice on the menu. The food was really good in fact delicious is a better word to use. Excellent quality vegetables. Lovely sweets too. The lemon tart was very good.On my list for many visits I the future.

Staying at Duchally, we always book into the restaurant on the first night.Good food, good value and good service.

Just felt the food didn't match the prices. Plenty on the menu, not value for money. No other issues regarding service etc.

Have had 2 dinners so far during our stay here.The staff are very proffesional andAttentive.The 3 course dinner menu offers a good choice of freshly cooked beautifully presented dishes.Its well priced at £24.There is a full ala carte menu also available.Pre dinner drinks can be taken in in a well stocked bar which offers whisky tasting.There is a lighter menu available up till 5.30pm .Give it a go !

We visited rage restaurant during a visit to Duchally. Staff were very pleasant and efficient, with the service carried out at the right pace. The food was wholesome, well prepared and served in a timely manner.

the food was very dull, uninspiring, dry overcooked, and very overpriced. The steak was such a poor quality I have genuinely seen and eaten better on a steak night at Wetherpoons and for them to charge nearly 6 times the price is ridiculous, and then to add insult to injury wasn't even cooked correctly!

Visited the restaurant for dinner whilst staying at Duchally. Drinks arrived promptly and service was reasonably good throughout, although bread took ages to arrive. My husband was half way through his soup starter by the time it did. Not ideal. My Caesar Salad starter was fine. My rosé veal main reasonable but meat rather tough. Onion rings fab. "Duchally mess" (Eton Mess) v good. Not great value for money. Probably a premium as there are few other options if staying at the hotel.

We stay at Duchally a lot and have seen many changes to the bar and restaurant over the years. The current menu seems to be working well as it was pretty busy.All day set menu for £20 is about average for the area and everything is good quality. Choose to sit in the restaurant or the bar - same food, same price. Lots of staff when we were there so no wait at the bar and the food was pretty quick. Locally sourced in the main.Kids menu is pricey for a toddler but big enough portions for older kids making it ok value. No veg with kids meals as standard but provided on request.Nice relaxing place - upmarket pub food and none the worse for that ! A La Carte also available with fine dining options but a price band up.

We stayed here for the weekend and dined on the Saturday evening as a party of 8. We received a warm welcome and were seated through in a quieter part of the restaurant which was nice as it was busy. There was a good choice on both the a la carte and set menus and the 2 children with us had plenty of choice on the kids menu. We were served mostly by Freya who was very friendly. Some ate from the a la carte and some from the set menu and the quality and portion sizes were not compromised by having the set meals. I thought for £24 for 3 courses it was very good value for money. The sticky toffee pudding was massive! We were pleasantly surprised with our bill. Was a nice relaxed and enjoyable evening and very convenient to have it on site.

Delicious food in a very relaxing restaurant. The staff were polite and friendly. I would recommend the steak pie if you are very hungry, good sized portions!

We dined here for 2 nights whilst staying at the hotel. We ate in the bar which has the same menu. On both nights the food was of a high standard and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

We dined here for 4 evenings and 4 breakfasts and the dinner menu and food was superb.Everything was cooked as we wanted it and the staff were very attentive and friendly.Breakfast gave you a good choice of cereals, fruit, yogurts, croissants, and juices but the cooked breakfasts were in heated containers and were a bit overcooked. It was so nice, on our last morning there, to have our breakfast cooked to order as they weren't busy.The background music was unobtrusive and enjoyable.

Honestly can't fault this restuarant at all....food was cooked and presented to a very high standard. Waiting staff were very informative. A must eat here if your passing or staying at Duchally

We have eaten here several times when staying at Duchally. The food is always delicious and the staff are extremely friendly.

The meal and service were excellent. There was a very good choice for each course. Wine was moderately priced.

Been once before, wasn't disappointed, food excellent, staff very friendly and attentive, lounge bar with nice open fire was very comfortable for pre dinner drinks and coffee after dinner, great all round.

Visited twice whilst staying in one of the lodges on Duchally Estate. Very reasonable, and a restaurant that has room between tables! We ate from the A la carte menu on one occasion and off the set menu £18 For two courses on the other, both very good.

Dined 3 times in the Whisky Bar each time following prior booking - which can be on-line. Service was beyond reproach and the food I would describe as gastro pub. Quite clearly booking would be essential in mid season!

Really nice,lovely staff,if you want to eat more informally then you can eat in the bar(same menu)Specials for children and if you eat earky5..6.30 then one child per two adults eats free.Nice menu too.Mid range price wise

Fantastic meal, the service we received from Jake (our waiter ) was brilliant his attention to every detail was amazing we had a lovely seat at the window, the whole meal was one of the best that we have had in a restaurant for some time with a nice bottle of bubbly to wash it down . We will be back at Monteaths again in fact we have booked a stay at the hotel today

I ate here a few times during my stay at Duchally. Breakfast was really good with a good choice. We also ate at lunch time in the bar and in the restaurant for dinner and generally the food was of a good quality and reasonably priced

Ate in the Whiskey Bar on Sunday evening and thoroughly enjoyed meal. Menu for the Winter is the same as restaurant- chose to eat in bar as more relaxing with our 9 month grandson. Mixed sharing platter was lovely, haggis starter very tasty. Two had grilled breast of chicken - lovely and well presented, steak pie home made and risotto cakes lovely. Super all round

We visited the restaurant whilst staying in the Duchally Country Estate lodges. We visited on a Sunday evening having booked ahead, the restaurant wasn't busy but it was still very pleasant.The staff were excellent and very attentive (but not overly so). The food was good (not the best we've had, but definitely very good!).My wife had the haggis neeps and tatties to start and found it a little dry, I had the filo cheese parcel and thoroughly enjoyed it.For mains my wife had the steak and ale casserole which was extremely tasty, and the lamb shank was impeccably cooked melting away from the bone!Costs was as expected for the venue, reasonable.We would definitely visit again if we were to stay at the estate again.

Lovely choice of menu and wine list, reasonably priced and staff extremely friendly and helpful considering we had our 12 week old grandson with us, who thankfully was very well behaved to his parents relieve

Full menu offered in spite of loss of power to the hotel - they were up and running within 30 mins - fantastic! Sea bream starter was excellent variety of mains from simple full-flavoured pies to subtly cooked seafood dishes scallops etc. Vegetables perfectly cooked and plentiful! We were even tempted to enjoy a sweet as we passed the time to the background of the live singer in the Whisky Bar!

We had a lovely meal, unfortunately we had to wait 50 mins for it to be served. We were getting a little fed up waiting when the food arrived the presentation was lovely, & it was delicious. The staff were friendly and apologetic about the delay. But we never found out what the delay was, it was strange as we were the only diners in the dinning room! That said, it was Sunday evening, maybe they only had a skeleton staff on duty

Had a lovely meal here with friends, although the only snag was the service was a tad slow, particularly for the starters. We did not really mind as we were not in a hurry, however staff were very pleasant and welcoming.Quality and quantity of the various meals very good and overall good value.

Ate at this restaurant on two nights, during our stay at Duchally Country Estate. Although very quiet, staff were very welcoming and friendly, and service was good. And the food was pretty good too, in particular the starters - I had an excellent creamy and flavoursome chowder on one day, and some really tasty crab cakes on another, and my wife was impressed with her warm chicken salad. Of the mains, a braised lamb shank was perfectly cooked, and with a wonderful sauce, and the venison tender, and also with a great sauce to set it off.

Stayed at the Duchally and ate in the restaurant -Food was ok but we had the sirloin and venison and although we asked for medium came well done. Ordered a bottle of wine and it just got plonked on the table.Not quite what we expected having read the other reviews on here :-(

My partner and I visited The Monteith last week for dinner and I must say it was a very good solid meal. The staff were accommodating enough the only real downside was that the restaurant was very cold whereas the bar area was lovely and warm!! The food is reasonably priced with 2 main meals and 2 drinks in the region of £50 which would appear quite steep but I don't think anyone who has eaten here could argue that the locally sourced food deserves it.

It's either the other restaurants in Auchterarder are all branches of 'The Ritz' or this restaurant is not being accorded its due commendation! Very friendly and attentive staff. We were there at high season and it was still not overcrowded. The food was brilliant! had my first taste of Hagis and now I'm a believer! There's also some (albeit meagre) entertainment at the bar on some days. The decor is minimalistic which is coincidentally what I prefer......The food is very affordable! I couldn't ask for more.If you happen to stumble unto this part of the world, visit them pls!

We ate here on one of the three nights during our stay at Duchally Country Estate. The menu provided a good variation of choices with helpful alternatives for those with gluten free requirements. The wine list was extensive and bottles were reasonably priced. The menu had the feel of a posh hotel but the prices were not that expensive. The restaurant is better than the bar for eating.

Plutôt cher et cuisine plus que moyenne. Personnel peu aimable. Passez votre chemin, il y a des endroits plus sympatiques dans les environs.

Our table was booked for 1 p.m. Sunday and we arrived around 15 minutes early. We were directed to the bar. We were given menus and ordered our food and drinks. Thinking we were going to the restaurant we passed on the way to the bar. I had booked in advance. I enquired if we were going to the restaurant and I was told it wasn't open at lunch time! The waitress wasn't that friendly! We watched as others arrived and got the same treatment. However one couple said that they wanted to eat in the restaurant and another member of staff made a bit of fuss saying that the table would take time to arrange. By this time our starter had arrived and we decided to stay put. The food was very good, nicely presented and tasty. The ambience of the bar wasn't so good. If I'd wanted a bar meal I would have gone to a pub. Whilst we were there there was a party - looked like someone's birthday - they were beside us in the bar. When we left and passed the restaurant.....hey! there were people dining there and another large table was set up for the birthday party. There were other tables available, so I don't understand why they were unwilling to set tables up in the restaurant. That was a spoiler for me so I won't be returning.

There was a varied choice of menu. We enjoyed the food and the service was good. We actually ate in the lounge as our booking was for 5.30 pm and the restaurant doesn't open till 6 pm but we still had the a la carte menu.

Cant understand why this is not higher up on the scores as this restaurant is superb.We both had the crab cakes with lime and salsa dressing. To die for!My husband had the pork. It had a herb crust that was soo nice. It also came with an apple crumble that was such a treat to go with pork. I had a taste and wished I had chosen this. I had ordered a home made burger, really tasty.I couldnt manage a sweet but hubby had the eton mess, I thought he was going to lick the bowl he liked it that much!!Good wine to accompy great food. staff friendly and attentive. What a great meal.Give it a try, you wont regret it

We stop of here for lunch it settings are amazing and the food was Perfect in every way the you g girl that was working in the bar and took our food order was so very polite we asked if it would be ok to sit outside as the weather was wonderful and the was no problem, when our food arrived the presentation was great and the taste was even better , I look forward to a return visit to the wonderful settings and amazing food .

A very nice old country house restaurant. Quite well furnished with natural woods and nice decor. Staff were ver attentive and chatty with out being familiar. Prices were excellent for the standard and quality of the food. It was well presented and cook ed exactly as one ordered it. Ask for a window table for pleasant views. Nice bar area for drinks before and coffee afterwards.

Booked the meal as part of a stay at the lodges. As we were a large group we were given a private dining room which made our meal even more special. As we were a large group we had been asked to pick a set menu and submit the menu choices in advance so in the day the food just appearedEach course was fantastic with plates all clearedI had the terrine with come with a chutney on the sideMy next course was the pork with apple and black pudding. The sauce that accompanied this was out of this worldThen to finish it was chocolate torte so lovely but very rich. Everyone else's dinner was also fab. I don't think there was a morsel left on any of the platesAt £30 a head the standard of food made this really good value for money This is the second time I've eaten here and this was better than last time but both times were outstanding really 5 star foodI can't wait to come back for dinner, be it with my partner or a groupDefiantly worth the trip for lunch/Dinner

Crab cakes were underwhelming to start. They weren't crispy on the outside as a good crab cake should be. My sausage of the day main was okay though the amount of mashed potato provided was inadequate. The whole meal was under-salted. The staff appeared to be friendly to their more obviously Scottish clientele but less so towards me (Scottish but you can't tell from my accent) and my wife (Canadian).

We visited Duchally Country Estate on a snowy Tuesday on March to use an ITISON voucher.We were directed to the bar by reception and told to wait to be seated. We stood for quite some time until we were shown to our seat.Our voucher entitled us to a two course meal - which we both enjoyed. The crab cakes as a starter were tasty. The country estate sounds much grander than it is in reality. Nice enough if you are passing but not sure I'd go out of my way again.

What a great surprise.I downloaded a voucher for two for a two course lunch at Duchally and was treated as if i was a fully paid guest The choice was excellant and food was fab The staff where so friendly and George the waiter needs a special mention as his smiling face and conversation made my day

the food was cooked to order and was piping hot good steak good service with a smile breakfast really good can not fault it at all.

Wow what a find, through all my years of travelling from glasgow to aberdeen I didnt know this place existed until i came onto trip adviser to look for a restaurant for my birthday lunch with my family, I had family travelling from glasgow and we ourselves were travelling down from Aberdeen. The location of this country house is AMAZING! the staff are brilliant, really make you feel welcome and were very attentive throughout out visit. We had the full three course menu and coffee afterwards, I personally couldnt fault any of it, everything was cooked to our liking and there were no emply plates! The only one thing I will say that I didnt quite like was how far the actual bar was to our table as we had people sitting a bit too close behind us at the bar, i think the table layout could have been done better within the room. We had a great lunch and i thought the food was excellent for the price. I definitely go back and this time for an overnight stay as the setting of this country house is just so peacefull, i would highly recommend this as a great place for a lunch, as i will definitely be going back again soon

Lovely atmosphere, fantastic food, good range of choice on the menu. Gorgeous desserts.
