Restaurant at Kinloch House in Perth & Kinross

The location, the restaurant, the staff and the food are all excellent. My partner and I had a truly wonderful Sunday lunch and each dish (cheese souffle, John Dory and blueberry pana cotta) worthy of 10 out of 10. scores. My only concern is that the 25% increase in the price may deter future customers.

What is it about a traditional, class, hotel with pristine white table cloths and attentive staff? It's reassurance that they care about keeping customers happy and in the zone of quality they expect. This hotel is isolated but provides all the comforts of home (and more). My meal was a delicious veloute followed by rump of beef to-die-for and then the wonderfully light but awesome sticky toffee pudding. A glass of pinot noir added to the experience. Sunday lunch was a treat, followed by coffee and the Sunday papers before a postprandial stroll in the grounds. A welcome return to dependable excellence.

Excellent food in a beautiful setting. If you haven't been before, give it a try. Our first visit but certainly not our last! Thank you to everyone, we loved every minute.

The kitchen at Kinloch presents fresh vegs & fruits,fish from local area, beautiful flower arrangements, cozy sophisticated bar-room and candlelight dining

By all standards the Kinloch House, lives up to the highest possible. We had a passing visit just for the set lunch. From the friendly, helpful and efficient staff, to the quality of all three courses and the most elegant ambiance, the whole experience was a delight. Yes we were almost on our own, all the better for us to enjoy all this fine Hotel Restaurant has to offer Well done to all concerned

The food and service were all excellent and priced at £30 for 3 courses was pretty reasonable. The blade of beef was fantastic. The hotel itself is a "typical" country house hotel with decor around hunting, fishing and the glens. All very relaxing. Only negative is I really didn't like the old, pretty tatty, stuffed bear that greets you as you come in.

Checked in here after doing a Land Rover experience, the hotel is perfectly situated and easy to get to.The staff where friendly, polite, and professional.The bar was comfortable and has a good range of drinks except beers on draft.The food could not be faulted and was thoughroly enjoy by both of us.The room was clean and comfortable allbeit a bit to warm through the night.All in all a very nice stay, and would use again.

L'endroit est très pittoresque et romantique. En revanche le lit de la 3 ème personne est un lit de camp...et le dîner reste onéreux. Le wifi est moyen.En revanche le petit déjeuner est top.

New menu for dinner every evening. Fine dining. Lots of game and local seafood. A wonderful treat. Will return.

We're regular Sunday lunch patrons of Kinloch House. We have gone for years, always waiting for the 'disappointing' experience which seems to come out of familiarity and complacency (on our part). However, the team here have never failed us, the meals are always par excellence and I have placed the featherblade of beef on my list should I ever be in the questionable category of choosing my last meal! The produce is top class, the cooking dependable and well-judged and the presentation is great without introducing naff things like smears, foams and folderols which only serve to disguise incompetence in lesser establishments. Wonderful.

Excellent food and personal service .. Lovely surroundings and countryside views. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. . Cosy log fires in lounges . Friendly staff.

The food was amazing a fine dining experience with fabulous attentive waiting staff in a beautiful setting.

Tuvimos un fantástico almuerzo aquí por 8 miembros de la familia. Muy buena comida y servicio personal. Era como si estábamos cenando en su propia casa con un completo equipo de ofrecer un servicio eficiente, sutil pero. Las habitaciones salón para bebidas antes y café funcionaba bien. La selección de vinos era un extra!

Alojarse localmente, así que decidimos reservado para comer el domingo.

Un menu sympathique, une jolie carte des vins, du champagne de qualité à un prix correct, un service attentionné, un décor élégant et confortable, autant d'ingrédients qui ont fait de notre diner une très agréable expérience. Le petit-déjeuner a confirmé cette É très bonne impression.

Wonderful, food, great staff, wonderful ambience. While we were there it snowned ( in May) and rained. Just wonderful

Fomos para uma diária neste hotel e jantamos no restaurante.O lado positivo foi que só havia nossa mesa para o jantar, então o atendimento foi excelente.Geralmente procuramos no site o menu e o deste restaurante é enganação, pois o site está todo errado.Na carta de vinhos que estava disponível no site, não tem NADA. É uma enganação total. O menu da comida também foi completamente diferente.A comida é boa, mas não vale o preço.Muito caro para uma comida simples.Não recomendo!!!

Cuisine raffinee digne d'un R&C dans le cadre buccolique de l'Etablissement Kinloch. Ambiance tres cosy. Carte succinte mais changeant chaque jour, avec les specialites de la region (saumon, cerf, etc..). Assiettes bien presentees, produits de la region de bonne qualite et en bonne quantite. Le personnel est aux petits soins. Tres bon service efficace. Agreable d'aller prendre un verre au coin du feu dans le salon apres le repas. Une bonne adresse culinaire pour un bon rapport qualite prix. Tres bonne surprise

I have been for a meal on a few occasions and have never been disappointed. The staff are attentive, but unobtrusive. A three course meal is £25 per head, but would pay more in a Michelin star restaurant for the same quality of food. There are 3 sitting rooms with open fires to relax before or after your meal.

A special occasion celebrated with a fantastic meal. The menu for the day offered plenty of choice including locally sourced salmon and beef in starter and main course. The desert menu had mouthwatering options ~ difficult to choose. We were not disappointed by the warm welcome, furnishings and table service. All of a high standard. Coffee was taken by log fire in luxurious lounge. Highly recommend this hotel for a meal, and we shall revisit again this year.

The best venue for impressing friends when showing off lovely Perthshire. Beautiful setting, and interiors it is difficult not to lick! Set lunch menu particularly good value. Highly recommended.

We stayed here just the one night. The food was very good, but since we ate local smoked salmon and cheese for starters and final course, we could only judge the cooking by the main course. We both chose the sea bream. It was delicious. Served on a light champagne sauce, it was perfectly cooked and served on a red wine risotto with green veg in the side. Service was impeccable but it was a Sunday night in November with only one other guest, so not, perhaps, representative. Nonetheless, it was lovely food well served. The wine list was a bit thin and priced at 3 X cost. I really dislike this sort of mark up but it has become almost the industry standard. Plus point was lack of piped music! Hoorah!!

After dining at Kinloch for many years we are disappointed that the dinner menu pricing has progressively increased and is now over priced, especially as they now charge £4.50 for coffee and petit fours. It is also annoying that they add a supplement for steak - but do not adjust the set price dinner for vegetarian options. Get real on your pricing and you will continue to retain long standing customers.

Really enjoyed our dinner with pre dinner appetizers and nice drinks taken leisurely until dinner ready. Then fabulous dinner.

We went here after my sisters wedding for drinks and a meal. We received an extremely warm welcome and glass of champagne. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Beautiful surroundings and very cosy. Service was second to none and the food was incredible. Pricey but worth it. Thank you so much for making the day more special. Couldn't recommend enough and would love to return.

This is a dream location; a lovely country house in an idyllic setting. The public rooms are comfortable with a traditional/clubby feel. Open fires and plenty of reading material add a nice homely touch. Family-run, assisted by great staff, the food is consistently excellent and well-presented.

Super meal in relaxed sumptuous setting , broad and interesting menu all dishes we had - we tried most of the menu ( as we were a large party ! ) , fabulous wine with very pleasant attentive staff . This felt like we were being served in " our own country house " by friendly people with a wonderful cook providing dinner . Truly a memorable night with great company and a meal that was very high class . Recommend highly - " We'll be back " !!!

Went for meal this evening 29th of May with high expectations reasonably warm welcome from staff the atmosphere warm and comfortable head waiter well trained and superb but no warmth or friendliness all waitresses great . Food was ok the sauce with the sole lacked any depth and the roe deer was tasteless with regards too the dessert the local strawberries were tasteless . When the bill for two persons came to well over £100 without any wine it certainly did not come up to the standards I would expect . Justin A

Kinloch House has a slightly old-fashioned atmosphere, and I would say that also extends to the food, in the sense that the standard is what I would have expected at a typical Relais & Chateaux establishment about 10-15 years ago; during that time restaurant food in the UK generally has improved dramatically, and perhaps Kinloch House has been left behind a little. Hence I feel I can only give it a score of 4, rather than 5, and also why, I assume, that it does not appear to have an AA Rosette (although that does seem a bit mean to me - I'd have rated it it at least 1 Rosette, if not quite 2).That is not a complaint, however, and in any case cutting edge cuisine would have felt out of place. We certainly enjoyed our meals very much, and the (albeit limited) limited selection of wine by the glass was very nice too.

We could not fault the professional service and wonderful food at Kinloch House - would highly recommend!

In an age when much hotel food is pre-prepared or part cooked it is a real treat to be served fine fresh food prepared in the hotel kitchen. Inevitably the choice has to be slightly curtailed but the quality of ingredients and the cooking are outstanding. The range of wines on offer compliment the food perfectly.

We went to celebrate my wife's birthday on a wintry Monday in January We were warmly welcomed and seated beside a roaring log fire. We enjoyed a superb lunch with excellent service and great hospitality. We look forward to returning for a longer stay in the near future.

The restaurant is beautiful and has retained its Victorian charm.The service was very good and the whole meal outstanding in terms of quality and taste.The wine was reasonably price and complimented the meal beautifully.

Used the lodge as meeting place for dinner with my wife's newly found Scottish relatives. Dinner was above expectations, everything from meeting us at the door to coffee and dessert was first rate. World class gem in tiny Scottish town . A must if in area. The staff went above expected to refreshing level not often seen.

This hotel has fabulous standards and is spotlessly clean .I love the pristine table set out perfectly .Everybody comes to talk to us and say hello with such warm friendliness and remembers exactly what we eat and drink.Paul looks after us very well and goes the extra mile with the best Pimms I've ever had.The food is delicious and not once can I say in the yrs we have gone here have I ever not enjoyed my meal.The set lunch menu is a good price too very reasonable especially for the standard of food and service that you get .The Best in Perthshire and 5 stars from me .

Certainly not the warmest of welcomes on a recent visit and rather lacked the previous courtesy and professionalism of the front of house staff.A delicious starter was followed by a main dish that resembled school dinners (no presentation whatsoever) and a dessert that completely missed the mark.A disappointing return.

We had a party at the weekend for my mum's 65th and booked one of the private dining rooms. It was set up to look beautiful with lovely tablecloths, candles, flowers and plenty of salt and peppers and other things to make sure you didn't have to do much at all except enjoy your lunch! The food was beautifully presented, served by lovely staff who have been trained and are friendly at the same time and couldn't have asked for a better afternoon. If you are looking for something that's top quality in a lovely country house you couldn't ask for better. Definitely the best place for a celebration but may not suit younger than 30 types!

Le défi étant de trouver une très bonne table en Ecosse, il faut dans ce cas s'en remettre à la sélection décidément très pertinente des Relais & Châteaux. La meilleur gastronomie du coin se trouve chez eux (Chez Roux, ou encore Andrew Fairlie sont des R&C).Vous entrez en poussant la porte, comme si vous rentriez chez vous, le feu de cheminée vous accueille, on attendrait presque de se déchausser !Cuisine travaillée, produits locaux, atmosphère cosy et campagnarde à la fois. Un très beau mélange d'élégance, de raffinement et de simplicité rustique.Quelques petites fausses notes dans le service, mais rien de bien grave.Un très beau moment, sans luxe tape à l'oeil, mais avec beaucoup de sincérité.

We visited for lunch on Mother's Day and were treated to a delicious meal. The staff are attentive but unobtrusive, the food is well cooked and presented. Would definitely return in future.

Came here with my partner on our anniversary and we had a great time. We had champagne and canapés in the lounge before dinner which was lovely and really gave us time to relax more. Dinner was amazing. The pigeon for starters and the guinea fowl for mains were cooked perfectly. After dinner we had coffee and petit fours back in the bar lounge which was a nice treat to the evening. The only fault I can give is that there was no partridge left for the main course which I would have ordered. Nevertheless we were the last to eat and the guinea fowl sure made up for it.

Fabulous place!Warm and friendly staff, very welcoming fire in the drawing room.The meal was simply superb. Not a weak dish in the menu to be found on our table.Chicken liver Parfait, wild mushroom risotto and scallops for starters, roe deer and chicken for mains were what we ordered and they were perfectly cooked and presented.The sticky toffee pudding to finish was a triumph!

Treated good, long time friends to a lunch to celebrate their Ruby Wedding. Wonderful place to have a wonderful lunch. Fitted the bill exactly for this important anniversary. To all of you we say, Thank you.

Nicht nur das Kinloch House Hotel, auch das Restaurant at Kinloch House ist ausgezeichnet. Man wählt Schottland-typisch zwischen drei-vier Gerichten je Gang. Und da ist für jeden etwas dabei. Alles ausgezeichnet und auch eine sehr gut sortierte Weinkarte. Wir haben drei Mal im Kinloch House zu Abend gegessen und es war jedesmal köstlich.

Not a huge menu, but everything perfectly cooked and the balance of flavours was amazing. Not huge quantities either, but we certainly didn't leave hungry!

We dined here last evening.The ambience wonderful, as was dinner.Scallops starter, followed by Roe Deer, ending with Parfait.Others had Chicken liver Parfait, Chicken, then Sticky Toffee Pudding.Asparagus, Turbot, and Cheese Selection. Wine with dinner and dessert wine and port.Finishing with coffees in the conservatory.Staff were extremely attentive. All in all a thoroughly memorable evening.Would strongly recommend.

Today we had the pleasure of Sunday Lunch at gracious Kinloch House. A complete experience, with a glittering jewel everywhere you look. The staff are so professional, with quiet understanding. The ambience is quite stunning, and the food could not have been bettered. Deliciously cooked to order, with a dignified twist of their own. So utterly relaxed, but not a detail missed. It is a total credit to Mr Graham Allen, and his staff. I cannot speak highly enough of our day with our family members, who were suitably impressed. I am sure if we had snuggled in to any of their beautiful lounges and closed our eyes, no one would have minded. Thank you all so very much for a most beautiful family Sunday lunch, and a very special memory. A quiet jewel in Perthshire not to be missed.

Second visit to the Restaurant at Kinloch House. Each time was amazing. We've just returned from Andrew Fairlie's Restaurant of the year at Gleneagles and I can still say that Kinloch House is one of my top choices to eat out. Service was attentive, the menue immaginative, and the meal was simply superb. All this for a very affordable price. Well done.

The food at Kinloch House is fantastic. Beautiful, locally-sourced ingredients presented well. Congratulations to the chef!

The entrance is lovely to this country house hotel. Perfect for a few family photos as this was a special evening celebration. Beware of stones if wearing heels - walk slowly! Most attentive service on arrival. Canapés were divine in the conservatory. Ordered then to our table in the dining room. Starters - we enjoyed soup, lobster and smoked salmon. Had lobster with a tart flavoured sauce and salad - beautiful. Main courses were roe deer, fillet of turbot and corn fed chicken. All were divine! Vegetables served with dishes were tasty. We did ask for potatoes as extra and they gave us 2 portions for 5 of us which was perfect. They came quite quickly as we only asked for them when our main courses had been served. All dinner plates were roasting hot and food all hot. We were all delighted with our choices. Water was topped up very regularly and Pinot grigio was crisp, cool and refreshing. We had a nice break before dessert which again was divine! Panna cotta, sticky toffee pudding and iced apple parfait. I thoroughly enjoyed the parfait with honeycomb, cinnamon minimuffin and a swirl of apple on the side- just beautiful. We were surprised with a lovely cake for our celebration served with raspberries and strawberries and a candle. Coffee, tea and petit fours were served in the drawing room which we had to ourselves. It was a lovely relaxing end to our evening. Would highly recommend for a specialfine dining experience and special treat. Thank you!

Tender and tasty meat, excellent quality. Good atmoshphere and attentive staff. Candles, napkins and silver service.

My husband took me off to Kinloch House for an overnight break, dinner was included in the overall price. Although there wasn't a huge selection on the dinner menu what we ordered was absolutely delicious, from canapés to pudding all the food was well presented and tasted great. The staff were very attentive but as said in previous reviews, a bit formal, but hey at least they weren't rude. The wine list was vast and the coffee was lush.

Very good service. Food for me just average, Limited choice for main meal, only three options available. Nothing to rave about it was nice, but , no more than that I'm afraid.

We were a party of 8 wanting a lightish lunch and I find myself generally in agreement with your last reviewer Dalguise. We liked almost everything about the place. Unlike her, however, I have rated the overall experience "very good" while she only found it "average". Why?Well, the service we received from everyone was friendly and attentive and the lunchtime prices represented very good value for money. The menu looked really promising and don't get me wrong, the food wasn't at all bad. Had it been that bit more flavorsome, I would have raised my overall assessment to "excellent".Would I return? I definitely would.

We were taken out for a meal to Kinloch House near Blairgowrie, Perthshire last Friday. A really lovely building and beautifully kept grounds. Plenty of parking space and someone opened the door and welcomed us which was a lovely touch. It certainly has the feel of a country house and that you are very welcome guests.We were taken into a lovely drawing room with open log fire and very comfy sofas and chairs. Drinks quickly arrived, very good choice of gins and scotch whiskeys.Delicious canapes came with drinks. Menus were unpriced except for our hosts. I am not sure if this is a good idea or not for me. Good selection of starters but I think only a choice of three mains. The service could not be faulted and the staff very good.However having said that the actual food really disappointed us. I think there was a complete lack of taste. The lobster and citrus starter was visually beautiful but lobster chewy and tasteless. A plate of smoked salmon was okay and mushroom risotto nice! For mains my husband had beef blade which was tender but not outstanding, duck breast again was presented beautifully but again a bit bland and the organic salmon fillet and smoked salmon fishcake were overcooked and tasteless. There was a distinct lack of vegetables, in fact I only remember a tiny ring of spinach with my fish. I had cheese and tiny portions of dry indifferent cheese, I think those who had sweet deserts were underwhelmed as well. The petit fours with coffee were MUCH more delicious and impressive.I don't know what the bill came to but know it was expensive which was fine for the wonderful setting and service but unless it was the chefs night off I would be looking for another one if I was managing Kinloch House as this would prevent me from returning.In summary we had a lovely evening. Could not fault the service, ambiance and setting but would not recommend the food.

The food is excellent and of a very high standard. The dining room is gorgeous and the building spectacular. Definitely one of my favourite places for lunch or dinner now.

ignore the cost - service and quality to be envied and a lovely location - but possibly for the more discerning diner

Good food and wine in a lovely setting. Service was prompt and efficient but would be even better if a touch less formal. Canapes and coffee are served in the adjoining lounge which makes for a nice start and finish to your meal.

Food excellent. Very good choice, great ingredients. Fantastic service. Could do no wrong, excellent all round.

Fantastic food and even a choice for my coeliac husband and lactose intolerant friend.

expect canapes by the fireside as you sip your pre dinner cocktail, and then superbly served dishes - high quality locally sourced produce - an excellent experience all round

We chose from a limited menu 1 hour before diningthe meal was of excellent qaulity well cooked and presented served by very professional staff.I particulary enjoyed the lobster starter and choclate potdessert. Coffee and petite fois were served in the library beside the log fire -Bliss

Good menu, and food was of a good standard. A bit pricey at c £40+ without wine though, and the dining area could perhaps do with some updating as it is a little bland, and in need of attention to complete the experience?Staff made a difference - all very friendly and attentive.Window tables look onto lawns disappearing into the river - very pretty, and ideal for tae and scones on a nice day!

the food here is amazing! well worth a splurge! the hotel has a lovely traditional Scottish ambience

We had lunch at Kinloch House some months ago, and although we came late in the afternoon, we were greeted with a warm welcome. The house is lovely especially the wonderful log fire in the reception hall, as one arrivesOur dog had to stay in the car, but he was offered a drink - bowl of water!, and it was just a lovely atmosphere, albeit that we were the only people left to dine, and indeed dined in the restaurant by ourselves.The maitre'd could have asked us to dine elsewhere, but he did not, and we were treated to his full attention and excellent, but not intrusive service. We were genuinely very impressed, and did not feel at all rushed or in the way. I know that we should not have felt in the way, but so often one IS made to feel this, and it just ruins the experience and one just wants to leave as soon as possible. This was a relaxed excellent meal, with freshly prepared food, and excellent wines. We left at around 4.30 in the afternoon, feeling very happy and very full ! Many thanks

The set dinner (multiple choices at each of the three courses) was good value at £48 each ($78 incl tip) but with (excellent) house wine at £35 expect your evening for 2 to cost around £150. The food was perfectly cooked and presented; tasty with balanced portion sizes.The hotel has a comfortable warm country house feel and the restaurant has a good ambiance with well spaced tables, but avoid the table for 2 at the window hard up against the wall.Overall, a place for special occasion unless you have very deep pockets.

Good looking house with many extensions in a quiet position enjoying good views with highland cows and passing geese.Hospitable and warm friendly service.The bar may be due a makeover decor wise.The menu , dinner at £48 is somewhat unadventurous , however food is perfectly cooked and served. Flavor always good.Perhaps "old fashioned"but is that not its charm ?
