Perthshire visitor centre in Perth & Kinross

Lovely visit as always. Very helpful, friendly staff, the most amazing scones and the summerhouses are brilliant-cosy, dog friendly-a brilliant idea, finished off with a walk to see the Heilan Coos. A truly wonderful place to visit-there is something for everyone. The added bonus is the Christmas Shop is also now open. Don’t delay-visit today

A super stop on a very long drive. Great staff, good menu selection, and very good value. A cut above a motorway service station!!

Great spot for Scotland souvenirs and more! Stopped in to see the many different collectables and homemade items for sale. Friendly staff. Lots to choose from.

My husband and I stopped for a quick snack on route from Stirling to Inverness on Sunday 13 October. At the takeaway counter we were served by the most kind and courteous young man who presented us with the best bacon rolls and coffee we have tasted in a long while. Well done to this lovely guy for taking the time to put his love and effort in to making our delicious snack and for the gentle manner with which he served us. We also purchased some delicious cakes for our onward journey. Perfect customer care. Much appreciated. Thank you. We'll be back!

Excellent meals and snacks, table service. Lots of shopping opportunities especially for tourists visiting Scotland.

Taste P never disappoints. We are regular customers. The food is good, the restaurant is clean and comfortable and the staff are excellent. Helen is particularly helpful, friendly and efficient!

We had a wonderful breakfast The full Scottish. Truly amazing and tasty. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly.

First time visit, great staff and welcome, family atmosphere, good food served well. will call back again next time in Perhshire.

Our first time visiting Taste Perthshire and won’t be our last! Well catered menu for all of the family. Kids loved their pancakes. Our hostess was incredibly fun with our kids which makes all the difference! :)

I take tour groups here and without exception everyine gives it a hugw thumbs up, the food is excellent and the staff are all lovely

20th November Visited for their Winter Afternoon Tea. Great value, excellent food and friendly and attentive staff.

We had the sharing platter, with the best pate ever, haggis in tempura batter, cajun chicken, oatcakes and salad. Beautifully prepared and served. Our waitress Julie was friendly, informative and efficient, a thoroughly enjoyable experience, on our way from Aviemore to Dumfries. Thanks to the team, we'll be back, we've just added it to our favourite places !

this place has the best café and shop ,love visiting this place .this is friendliest place to visit. all staff are so friendly and happy, cant do enough for you .if you visit once you will always go back.

The restaurant looked lovely with great Christmas decorations. The lunch menu had a wide variety of options from soups, toasted ciabatta and full meals. We have been twice before and we’re warmly welcomed back by the waitress Helen. After a lovely lunch we had a wander round the shop and bought some Scottish themed Xmas presents. Thoroughly recommend.

After waiting hours in a massive jam on the A9 we were desperate for some food! It was only 10 minutes until the restaurant was due to shut at 8pm. We couldn’t have felt more welcome not a hint of it being to late. We were served a lovely freshly cooked hot meal by friendly and polite staff. Thank you Taste of Perthshire - we will be back hopefully not so late next time!

A wonderful, just off the main road cafe, deli and shopping experience. We had b’fast and a week later lunch, both were great quality, chosen from a varied menu and I really can’t recommend the food highly enough.

Great find. Will stop here again if passing. A bit of everything to appeal to everyone food, gifts, clothes, takeaway, restaurant. Breakfast was excellent. Staff brilliant.

This was our second visit to Taste Perthshire and we were not disappointed. The restaurant was very but but we were quickly seated. We both had the Roast Beef dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Danielle, our server, was cheerful, efficient & friendly. We followed with an Eton Mess & Clootie Dumpling both of which were delicious. This restaurant offers an excellent dining experience and it is clear from the standard of the food that it is local.

My son & I had a lovely meal & hot drinks with our food served by pleasant & hospitable staff in lovely surrounding enjoyed considerably will return

Well worth stopping at. Loads of local products as well as a well stocked gift shop. You can have a sit down meal or just grab some snacks. The selection is great.

A lovely clean environment with friendly welcoming staff and good food. Definitely worth a stop to break up a long journey. Service with a smile and no long waits.

A friendly restaurant with a good range of food. We enjoyed fajitas and scampi which were great. Really fresh and generous portions. A welcome meal after a long journey. Very clean and well kept facilities.

My husband, myself and Ruby: our dog had a wonderful visit. The staff were so efficient, friendly and were so kind to us. The food was excellent. The outside area was so lovely.

Heading from Inverness to North Yorkshire. Called in at taste of Perthshire the fuel is responsible not like motorway services. The staff are very friendly and service is very good I would highly recommend the food is lovely and the place is lovely and clean

This was a Lovely place to stop. The Cafe has a good varied menu and lovely staff. It has a very nice gift shop also. Nice clean facilities. Well done !

Very friendly staff, made very welcome. A very comfortable dining room plenty of space between tables. The food was excellent, portion sizes if anything too big so if you are going there, take an empty stomach. Faultless service. There is a gift shop attached geared...

The service was splendid and staff very nice ,the macaroni cheese the best I had tasted in a while I for one will be back when in the area.

The young waitresses were very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. Our lunch was quite delayed - hence the 4 stars - but was delicious once it did arrive! The stand out waitress was Helen - absolutely hilarious and a real credit to the...

First class service and well laid out store. The meals are very good and plenty of snacks on offer./ Have visited the store many times over the years and each year there has been some change to the layout which makes it interesting. Excellent outside...

We were on the A9 heading north and show a sign for the Taste of Perthshire. Very busy and popular restaurant/shop/gift shop. We were there at the height of the lunchtime rush but the staff and kitchen coped well. Food was delicious and service was...

Two visits in a recent stay to the area for takeaway service . Booking online with quick turn around worked so well . Food was ready at arranged collection time . Staff could not have been nicer and really nice food and value for money...

Absolutely delightful! Overnight camper stop. Despite being close to a main road, the sound of the babbling brook was just lovely. Lots of most useful facilitiesThe staff in the shop couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.

I have been visiting here for many years. Since Jane and Calum MacLellan took full possession in May 2015, there have been myriad improvements and developments. taste PerthSHIRE won a 4* Award by Visit Scotland. Alongside the A9 in Bankfoot, seven miles north of the...

The food is amazing here and the service is quick even if they are busy. The staff are friendly. The only thing for us was the queue to pay. One suggestion would be to have a cleaner for the toilets. Overall will recomend here to...

brilliant service from all staff , excellent value for money food, excellent choice from extensive menu

What a fab accidental find!! We only stopped here because we need fuel but I am so glad we did. We had a wonderful breakfast, perfectly cooked and served by the loveliest staff. There is a great array of shopping here, lots of things we...

We stopped here on the way to Aviemore for lunch and on the way back home for brunch. It was lovely to get a place just off the main road with such good service and food. We were impressed with this place, first of all...

We have visited here a few times and this latest visit was just as good. The restaurant staff are super efficient, but also very pleasant and friendly. My husband and myself both had fish and chips on this occasion and it was delicious, mine in...

We have been here before and cannot fault it. This visit, however, was a stop off on the way home and I really wasn't feeling very well having just come out of hospital but I felt I needed to eat and ordered the chicken broth....

Stopped on the way to Inverness for dinner. I have dietary intolerances and the waiting staff were so very helpful in providing me with a delicious meal that catered for all my dietary issues! The rest of the family loved the choices on the menu....

We stopped here on our way through to Loch Ness, & what a find it was. It may not look very big from the outside but it’s like a tardis inside with the building split into segments (womens cloggers, men’s clothes, home decor, whisky section,...

Service was excellent it ran like an well oiled machine. Willing to engage in conversation and the food was excellent. Nothing to much trouble.

The staff here make this place amazing! We attended on the way to Lossiemouth with my little boy and the staff were brilliant with him, Helen especially. The food was good as well. We enjoyed our visit so much so that we stopped in on...

Impossible not to give 5 out of 5, cheery staff good food and facilities and not overly expensive, been passing this place for years but never went in as we stayed too close but having relocated and now visiting north of Scotland more often it’s...

We stayed here for one night with our camper. What a lovely find. The staff are amazing here nothing is too much trouble. We had a takeaway meal but ee asked if we could eat in and were given proper plates knives and forks. Amazing...

Convenient stop on the A9 north of Perth. Shopping/food and restaurant. Friendly service, amazing scones and cakes. Will be back!

Stopped here for breakfast - tasty food and excellent service. Generous portions of scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and crumpets, and bacon with banana, syrup and fluffy pancakes - delicious. Had a browse around the food and gifts section; everyone here is very friendly and...

We stopped of for lunch on the way to Dunkeld, the food was lovely and the staff were really nice and friendly. The price was reasonable for that kind of Garden centre type restaurant would recommend

We stopped here for lunch last Wednesday, on our way to Pitlochry. The staff were just lovely and the food was fresh and tasty. We were meeting a friend for coffee and cake later, or I would have had a cake as they looked amazing!...

we were there,12/02/2023 between 11 and 12. we stopped for breakfast ,which was great and service was really good. we mostly went to make up our own hamper for gift ,it is great you can pick anything to add to your hamper ,then the girl...

Both Danielle and Conor at Taste Perthshire went well beyond the call of duty to help me out - when I went to have a coffee and asked for help to get wifi. (I needed access to my wifi to download credit so I could...

Great coffee and friendly staff. Great place to stop off either to eat or to grab a coffee, if you are traveling on the A9 Shout out to Ellie (with the smile) for excellent customer service 👍

Easy parking. Bit of a maze to get to restaurant. Had booked and requested quiet area/ table but on table 22 and it was noisy with coffee maker. The only complaint. Tea, latte and fruit and plain scones so nice and fresh. Tasty jam. Staff...

It was very nice and Hannah was very nice and the food was really nice and it was very cheap and the sandwiches were very nice

From the outset, staff very attentive particularly if Taste is full and one has to wait for a table. Communication throughout queuing was brilliant; staff were continually telling us when a table would be free. Service very warm and friendly, staff asking during eating if...

Not the place it used to be. Staff were sharp when they spoke to customers and other staff members, cheese bought was mouldy and very expensive but we didn't notice the mould until we got home. The staff in the food area were only interested...

Thank you for excellent service last night. After a difficult day feeling rough, having to use last window of time to visit care home in Fife, I was not looking forward to drive back up in this weather. I phoned ahead as the clothes section...

Passed this place so many times without visiting. My wife and myself are unlikely to pass by again without calling in. Both my wife and myself loved the place. My wife liked the clothing, I loved the deli and our lunch was superb.

we dropped in for cuppa and when there we were looking at the hampers ,we got one photo enclosed, the good thing is you can buy made up one ,or make one up yourself or add and take away from any one in shop .staff...

Really disappointed that this establishment thinks it’s appropriate for take away coffee to be self service costa express machine. Owners should be embarrassed and ashamed at this. Not worth the even the small detour for this. Not sure how this represents the best of Perthshire...

Taste Perthshire is warm, exceptionally friendly and the breakfasts are out of this world! All the staff are wonderful and today’s super star was the lovely Belinda who made mine and my dad’s visit so special. Thank you Belinda!

It is November and Christmas decorations are everywhere. Normally I would turn heel and run. Here though is a familiarity which for decades has welcomed me for afternoon scones with family and late full Scottish breakfasts with my Mama Dearest. My affection for the joint...

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Taste, Perthshire. (Recommended by family). On entry the gift shop was very attractive (although expensive!) & a warm welcome from the customer service assistant, who chatted while she completed purchase at the till. We decided to eat in the restaurant,...

Great roadside stop! We stopped here on our way up and back from the Speyside area. The way there we were fortunate to get the Sunday roast. Delicious. Warm Clootie Dumplings! On the way back, hot food was needed and their baked potatoes were just...

We have never been attracted to motorway service stations and usually avoid them like the plague hence the reason we chose to take a break on the A9 north of Perth at “Taste Perthshire” in the hope that we would find something different. We did....

Very expensive electric car chargers (realised after that there are free ones a short drive away!) Reasonable hot drinks and cakes but poor service - asked for an extra plate to divide cakes between kids and it never arrived, pot of tea arrived with no...

This is a real jewel in the crown of Perthshire. Food is locally sourced and is fantastic, had both breakfast and lunch and both were first class. The staff are a real asset to Taste Perthshire, incredibly welcoming and friendly. Overall, 5 stars.

Stopped in here for breakfast before a long trip. Most notable thing about the experience was the friendly staff. Genuine and happy to help - very efficient too. Food was reasonably priced in this current climate and tasted superb. The dining area was reasonably clean...

Second time we've stopped here on our way north. First time was for breakfast and today for lunch. Really efficient, friendly staff- all working on serving tables and clearing up very quickly. It's a great system they have - credit to the management. And the...

We stopped here on our way to and from a holiday in Inverness. On both occasions we were greeted by very friendly and chatty staff. We only had light snacks but they were good on both occasions. If you want decent food at a reasonable...

Average food, but it was hot, and a reasonable portion. However, £9 for a baked spud could be considered a bit of a nerve. Think I'm going to try the pub next to see if they can put a smile on their face. I know...

Have visited previously and always been impressed and impressed again this time. The staff are so pleasant, friendly and very efficient. We both had a Scottish breakfast which was good, the raspberry jam I had with my toast was excellent. It is a pleasant and...

Stopped in for breakfast whilst passing heading north. I had the full breakfast and my wife had Banana and Bacon French toast. Overall very good with excellent quality ingredients. Only marked down to 4/5 as they forgot the bacon with the French toast (which was...

Taste of Perthshire at Bankfoot is just off the A9 and as well as having a restaurant and takeaway, has various food and retail outlets to look around. It’s been a few years since we were last here and I must say that it has...

Great food, really friendly staff. One of our meals was delayed due to a kitchen mishap, and they apologised AND gave us all (a party of 4) coffee and cake on the house. I've never come across that kind of service! Very impressed.

On the way to Ullapool and heading back from Ullapool we stopped at this venue for lunch both times! First time it was ok but still chaotic when it came to service, I opted for the soup which was ok and my wife had a...

A9 isn't blessed with too many good stopping off points and there are some very poor options. This is somewhere you'd probably drive past, but worth a very slight detour. Quality food at very reasonable prices and a wide selection from full meals to light...

We have been twice now to Taste Perthshire and the food is absolutely FABULOUS. We would now actually go out of our way to come here. The food is cooked fresh, the portions are brilliant and the taste is second to non. I would highly...

We discovered this venue by following the brown sign. It was a joy to have breakfasts and our evening meals here. The staff were brilliant - engaging at the right level. It was clear that the lady in charge has very high standards which was...

Very nice location, good parking facilities. Easy access for everybody. Nice shop. Good food, nice and quick service.

Be warned! The shop is full of goodies you will want to buy! Elaine the Retail Supervisor is a lovely person & truly on my wavelength, thanks to her I spent too much on clothes. Had a superb lunch - the baked potato with Mediterranena...

Popped in on Monday morning for a coffee/breakfast, before meeting a friend. Received a very warm welcome and a friendly smile from everyone, as I walked through to the restaurant. I like a hot coffee and an extra hot flat white arrived quickly, exactly as...

The staff are absolutely phenomenally welcoming. We love coming here & look forward to the exceptional food every time!

Five of us arrived at the Taste of Scotland restaurant and we asked if we could sit outside, the waitresses could not have more helpful, they set up the large umbrellas and their good natured banter put us at ease. Our food arrived piping hot,...

Having been cleverly routed through the House of Bruar-lite type shop, but resisted the urge to buy tourist tattle, the restaurant menu looked promising but delivered low quality fare. Kids Mac n cheese @£6.95 was microwave stodge and murky peas, my blue cheese burger was...

Asked to sit outside, as I had my dog with me. Was seated outside and waited 15 minutes for service before leaving. Found a very dog friendly place in Perth!

Enjoyed breakfast here last week. Disappointed no pancakes or potato scones. Surely, a taste of Perthshire should include these staples??

Just arrived for a park up in our motorhome and the staff could not be more helpful and friendly, a great stopover on our way up the A9 and the food was lovely too...!

Stopped by on our way home to Yorkshire from the Scottish Highlands for some food. The staff were excellent and very helpful, especially the chef in the takeaway section. We had an amazing pulled pork burger, a toastie and the (new to the menu) veggie...

We used their takeaway and had a great meal, Chilli loaded fries with homemade guacamole and a side of homemade coleslaw. We were so full we had to skip breakfast the next morning. All the staff were really helpful especially the chef who took our...

This is our usual pit-stop when traveling down the A9. I think we've been about 6 times. The service is always friendly and attentive. The food is very good and great value for money. Whether a pit-stop or a planned meal out - you can't...

We stopped off on our journey from Buckinghamshire to Inverness for some food and we were not disappointed! We were offered to order from their new menu and tried the pulled pork burger and dirty burger and it definitely hit the spot. The lady who...

Had lunch here while on holiday with our caravan. Very pleasant staff and a good choice of food, but as soon as I heard there was roast beef and Yorkshire pudding too, I didn't bother to look at the menu. It was very tasty and...

Beautifully prepared and well presented food which included several choices for vegetarians. A busy Saturday lunch so was not surprised there was a queue for a table but was surprised that it moved really quickly. And staff that were obviously very busy were still very...

We visited here on a lovely Sunday in May.. Altough we only had coffee and cakes the service was pretty poor. We were seated by a pleasant young man who told us all about the menu. A lady then took our order. A different lady...

One of the joys of taking the unexpected turn is that often you encounter 'hidden gems'. Taste Perthshire is a perfect example of that. On a trip from Edinburgh to the Western Isles we just chanced on here for breakfast. It was wonderfully made, tasty...

This lovely spot just off the A9 had been recommended to us and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food came fast and tasted great. Our little daughter (2 years old) loved her mini fish and chips almost as much as...

When in Perthshire a must place to visit a good Menu and great value for you money.The staff are always very helpful and always greet you with a smile.Plenty of parking spaces and a very good place to shop. The shop on its own is...

Myself and my family having been stopping off here for many, many years on our way to Aviemore, and are always greeted with such kindness and wide smiles everytime. Over the years the wee shop as you enter has always been stocked with lovely little...

We were passing and decided to break our journey for something to eat and drink. Found to have lots of spacious car parking. it was like an Aladdin's cave with all the Scottish goods on sale. The dining room was busy but only had to...
