Riverview Restaurant in Perth & Kinross

Ordered vegan food and found what seemed like animal part in it. They insisted it was part of a mushroom which it clearly wasn’t. This made my wife feel sick and therefore couldn’t accept the offer of another meal. Offers of drinks etc weren’t acceptable as this had ruined our evening. I had to argue for any reduction in the bill and was threatened with the police if I didn’t pay. Appalling customer service.

Sorry did not stay so can't comment on the accomodation, but stopped for late lunch on the river front, nice spot, food as expected and staff happy to help. If you are town worth a visit especially if the sun is shining

I went with my family, 4 adults and 3 children. It was a varied menu, the service was good - efficient and friendly, and the food delicious. The situation was also nice, overlooking the river. I would definitely go back.

We stayed at the Atholl Arms Dunkeld for two nights,(Room with Breakfast) The staff are excellent very helpful and friendly. The Bedroom we were in was very comfortable clean and tidy We also decided to have our evening meals at the hotel,well that was definitely a good decision as the food was absolutely superb We have no hesitation in recommending the Atholl Arms Dunkeld We will definitely be returning

Superb food served by friendly and pleasant staff. Excellent range of options on the menu for vegans and non-vegans alike. We will definitely return next time we are fortunate enough to be in Dunkeld.

We ate here on two evenings, as part of our 3 night stay. Friendly staff Katrina was welcoming and chatty. We enjoyed seafood tagliatelle, steak and fish n chips, and shared a cheeseboard.All food was freshly prepared and delicious. Luvly views of River Tay and Bridge and their beer garden

We ate here on two occasions while staying in the Atholl Arms. On both nights the food was superb. All local produce. There is a slight delay in getting served as everything freshly prepared, but its a lively view overlooking the river . The 3 way salmon starter was lively as was the seafood tagliatelle. The cheese board was also extremely tasty. Lovely wine list as well Staff are dealing with the new covid regulations extremly well and sanitiser stations throughout the hotel area.

We used to holiday in Birnam or Dunkeld and always made a point of visiting the Riverview Restaurant in the Atholl Arms Hotel. My wife is vegan and the selection for her taste is very good, as good as any non-veggie specific eatery we've visited. I'm not vegan and enjoy their imaginative specials. All that coupled with good service, good wine options and a beautiful view over Dunkeld Bridge and the Tay to Birnam Hill. Once all our kids had grown and flown the nest we decided to sell up and move here, and we've never regretted it. Birnam & Dunkeld is full of good cafes, interesting shops and amazing history - significant battles, the key location of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', where Beatrix Potter first wrote Peter Rabbit, and the scenic inspiration for many works by John Everett Millais - plus there's a terrific arts centre that manages to bring top line acts to this little rural village. We've seen Peggy Seeger, Phill Jupitus and superb touring dramas there in the past year alone. I liked Howie's Bistro too - though haven't visited since it's passed into new hands - but the Riverview Restaurant remains our favourite, and always worth a visit.

I asked to see wine list told no list available Asked for 250ml glass white wine Charged £8.50.for not very good wine. Food ok . Expensive for what was pub meal.

On arrival we found the restaurant to be tidy and welcoming. Service seemed to be good and we were offered a fixed menu describing 2 course meal for £20 or 3 course meal for £25. Ordered drinks and awaited our starter. Found the starter to be tasty but such a small portion that we wondered if we had made a mistake when ordering. The main course which was ordered by all four of us was very disappointing. The dish comprised of lamb shank and a small piece of neck of lamb some sauce and a sliver of raw cauliflower. We also had a desert which was again tasty but extremely small portion. When we complained at the payment stage the waitress explained that we could have ordered side dishes at extra cost. This was not explained at the time of ordering and the menu did describe 2 or 4 course meals which we assumed meant there would be vegetables on the plate. Overall we would say the service was prompt and friendly, this was the only positive. The food was overpriced and poor value. The taste was about average but the portion size was extremely small. We were very disappointed and will not return.

We were extremely disappointed with the quality of food for the price. Paying £15 for a main you would expect fresh flavourful food, instead we were given bland freezer food, less than you would expect to find in your local wetherspoon. Although the place was virtually empty, service and food standards were sub par. The staff were quick to take food off the bill when we complained which to me indicates that it is not a rare occurance.

Nice starters but the ribeye steaks were extremely disappointing certainly not the best rib eyes I have ever had. One came medium when it should have been well done. Service was poor seemed to be a lack of staff to return to ask if there was anything else required or a further drinks order.

Booked specially for meeting up with friends from Australia. We live locally and eat in the meeting place from time to time. Had the set lunch menu , wouldn't recommend. Service unimpressive. Food somewhat poor, although I enjoyed the sea bass. I really didn't feel that everything was delivered at its best. Stick to the bistro type menu.

Visited 2 nights great food both nights went for 3 course dinner priced under £30 great value, staff very helpful and friendly

First visit to the Atholl Arms Riverview Restaurant at the end of May. It was our 15th wedding anniversary. The food was outstanding! Both starters & both main courses were delicious. A visual & culinary feast. I had a ribeye steak which was cooked to perfection. I don’t think it could have been better. The menu choice was well thought out and catered for a wide range of tastes. The staff were friendly and professional. A hard to achieve combination, but from the moment we arrived until we left we felt very well looked after. Standards ate on the rise across Scotland but this just feels ahead of the game. Huge thanks for a memorable evening. It won’t be long before we go back.

We ate breakfast here during the two mornings of our two night stay in the Atholl Arms Hotel. A very comfortable eating area complemented by first class food and service.

Excellent choice of cereals, fresh fruit or cooked breakfast with coffee or tea with toast and a view of the river.

We dined on the Saturday evening 4 days before Valentine's day and thought it would be busy. There were only two other couples in the restaurant so there was very little atmosphere or ambience. The service was excellent. Friendly, helpful and efficient staff. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. We had 3 courses from a fixed menu with a good choice of locally sourced produce. My husband had the fish which he thoroughly enjoyed and I had the fillet steak (rare) which melted in my mouth. Overall the price we paid including drinks was very good value for a wonderful meal.

We booked to go to this restaurant when we were on holiday as the menu looked very good. Unfortunately, when the Taxi tried to drop us off, the location on the map was in fact a residential road, and when we had to the phone the restaurant to ascertain it’s location we were not only informed that the map was incorrect but in fact they were not even open in January. We were told this was not the restaurant’s fault but in fact Open Table were to blame as they were supposed to remove the listing for the month. Do not believe everything you see on the internet... you have been warned!

Excellent meal enjoyed by a roaring log fire on a very dark cold night. The food was very well prepared and tasty (certainly the best Cullen Skink and Apple & Sultana crumble ever tasted). The staff were very welcoming and delightful. All in all a good dining experience and excellent value for money.

We stayed in the Atholl Arms partly due to the reviews of the food in the restaurant and we weren't disappointed. The food was excellent. I had the salmon on gnocchi with olives and capers and it was wonderful, as was my salmon and prawn tartar to start. My husband had Cullen Skink and then haggis both of which were very good but my salmon dish was the star!

This Restuarant is perfect for those that like excellent food and of course situated in a wonderful area of Scotland Enjoy!!

This restaurant is part of the historic hotel at the bridge.

Avevamo prenotato questo ristorante addirittura prima di partire perché sapevamo di essere in zona di sabato sera e avevamo paura di non trovare posto. L'avevamo scelto perché aveva un intero menù vegetariano, anche se il ristorante serve di tutto. La posizione è molto bella, proprio nel centro della pittoresca cittadina di Dunkled, con le finestre che guardano sul fiume. Abbiamo mangiato bene e il servizio è stato attento anche se non rapidissimo. L'unica cosa strana è che nonostante fosse un sabato sera c'eravamo solo noi, è vero che era un po' presto, ma in Scozia la gente cena anche alle 18. Comunque 5 stelle anche solo per la considerazione data ai vegetariani.

The food and wine was excellent also the service was friendly

Our party of five friends had dinner here on Saturday night and we were certainly not disappointed. Everything was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. The menu selection is really diverse and interesting, plus the addition of a completely separate vegan menu was very welcome - we were all jealous of our vegan friend's choices! I can't recommend this little place more highly. We've eaten here on many occasions and we'll definitely be back next time we're in Dunkeld. We didn't stay here this time, but were here for the mother-in-law's birthday a couple of years ago and were upgraded to the fab suite. Lovely place, lovely people, and delicious food.

Our favourite place to eat in Dunkeld - amazing that it has an entire vegan menu and the food is absolutely delicious. Can't be faulted.

Por desgracia, no es el mejor almuerzo. Esperamos en la zona del bar por 10 minutos me sentí invisible. Después fuimos a un cliente obtener un miembro del personal. Nos sentamos y yo no creo que nuestra orden era difícil una macaroni una maltratada abadejo no sólo patatas fritas ensalada. Mi madre que estaba en el día 69 no había sido mantener bien estaba deseando ir. Ella odia el pescado y pan rallado puedes adivinar lo que le dieron. Ella no quiere decir nada, pero ella no era la única orden causado. Había tres mesas adoptadas y otra de salmón ahumado y nos pedimos queso ahumado. applewood Había que hablar entre los comensales había sido el lugar en el mercado. Espero que se emplean personal que tienen interés en escuchar lo que sus clientes quieren comer. Podría haber sido un pequeño error, pero que se podría haber evitado y sí podríamos haber dicho, pero mi madre odia sensación incómoda y no quería que su hijo se sienta peor. En general no es un lugar para volver a

Friendly attentive staff. Good food and stunning view (if you're at a window table). Made our stay at the Atholl Arms a pleasure

Tuvimos una buena mesa junto a la ventana, vista del río en un viento de sábado en Dunkeld. El servicio era bueno, gente amable, un mobiliario agradable. Tuvimos el pastel de carne con cerveza, y la hamburguesa de carne. El pastel fue maravilloso, las verduras lado eran perfectas, las patatas justo. La hamburguesa era otra historia. He vivido a dos de las más grandes áreas de hamburguesa en el planeta: el sur de California, y Dallas - Ft. Worth, Texas. Todavía tengo que tener una buena hamburguesa en Europa, y han vivido aquí desde 2009. Me trasladé a Escocia el verano pasado, y aún tengo que encontrar una buena pieza de carne. Soy una cocinera cumplida, e incluso más consumado gastrónomo. La carne en esta hamburguesa era difícil, seco y demasiado en que además de carne buena. Demasiado orégano, o algunas otras hierbas; demasiados picada cebolla, demasiada sal, y probablemente algunos de llenado. Aquí es lo que lleva: 80 - 85% de magro de ternera a la parrilla, 85 - 90% magro para una sartén. Sal, pimienta. Todas las otras cosas en la carne como lo hace mal gusto albóndigas de carne. Todo lo demás está bien, pero todavía tengo que encontrar un buen hamburger aquí.

comfortable surroundings with a lovely view of the river, good food, nice presentation and good service, wouldn't hesitate to return

Part of the friendly comfy Atholl Arms Hotel in Dunkeld . The restaurant is an Ariy bright room with great views over the River Tay . Creative menu with good vegetarian choice . Excellent local produce used to produce delicious dishes .

La comida es excelente. Gran ambiente. Fenomenal azafatas.

El restaurante del Atholl Armas Hotel es una buena opción, es la comida que espera uno en un pueblo de Escocia, servicio agradable, igual que el lugar. Muy recomendable para el que ande por aquellos lares

Alojando en el hotel durante el Año Nuevo. Cena en restaurante en la calle 31. Haggis bon bons. entrantes, platos principales de venado con puré de apionabo y carne, y queso de mesa y un pequeño café irlandés. Servicio amable de todo el personal. La comida fue genial. Volveremos otra vez.

Stayed here over the new year period. Fantastic meal served here on the 31st. Haggis bon bons. Venison for mains with celeriac mash. Then Scottish cheeses and a wee gealic coffee. Friendly service and all with a smile on their faces. The meal we had was superb but there was many other selections on the menu. We will be back for sure

Having read good reviews about the Riverside Restaurant I was disappointed that its lunchtime menu is that of the Meeting Place which is more suitable for a weekday than Sunday lunch. Not a roast dinner in sight! The service was appalling. Almost an hour's wait for our food and we had booked beforehand. At least we had had a Scottish breakfast and weren't starving. We did receive an apology and were told that they were busy "on the other side". We were obviously less important on our side. Things appeared very disorganised and we had several different waiting staff. The kitchen ran out of the soup of the day after the order was taken. An alternative was offered. In the end they did manage to come up with one bowl of the original soup of the day. Overall the food was very good and excellent value for money.

The food was superb. My wife eats mostly vegetarian, and she was delighted with the choices on the menu. My choices were also fantastic. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone. Portion sizes were also very generous. Great service, nice decor, and couldn't have asked for any better!

Well what a let-down. The building itself is in an A1 location in Dunkeld, right on the bridge and with a fantastic river view, and when we booked (needlessly!) I was thankful we'd managed to get a table overlooking the river; as it turned out only three tables were occupied, and after a glance at the menu I could see why. My wife and I had hoped for a quality traditional Sunday lunch but sadly it wasn't an option, and while the pizza (yes, pizza!) we opted for was okay, had I known the menu was so disappointing I would have bought a pizza from the Co-Op across the road.

We eat here regularly, mostly in the bistro but sometimes in the restaurant. When we saw a 5 course tasting menu advertised for £29 a head we just had to book a table. The staff were very friendly and attentive as usual, thank you Gill, Sophie and Sarah. All courses were fantastic but the cod, pea puree and potato rosti chips was the stand out dish of the night. It was also great to be able to choose wine by the glass which is usually only available by the bottle.Hopefully the tasting menu will become a regular occurance as we would absolutely try it again.We will be back soon for the regular menu.

We had a lovely evening meal here last Saturday night. There were good choices to be had from the menu and the staff were brilliant with my dietary requirements. Very reasonably priced for non-hotel guests. We will be back.

Sunday lunch with old friend. Seated in Riverside Restaurnt at window overlooking Hotel garden and River Tay. Food was delicious - sea bass - good portion and accompaniements well chosen. Superb bottle of Spanish white Rioja. Staff all very friendly and attentive. Would come again.

The Riverview restaurant was closed (despite our booking being accepted) and we were re- located in the hotel's "meeting place" (bistro/cafe/restaurant?). No river views here, no views at all in fact as no windows. Confit Duck smelled & tasted bunt although the meat was tender. Duo of salmon & sole was served without any form of carbohydrates. Very insubstantial meal & too expensive.

We ate in the Riverview Restaurant & had great sunday lunch - make sure you see the specials menu. Seabees & scallops great, Locally smoked salmon delicious. Friendly staff. Fantastic view of River Tay

We were staying I the hotel for two nights and had dinner there on the first night. The Fishcake Starter was delicious as were the mussels. We both had steaks, huge, cooked to perfection with lovely accompaniments. No room for desserts! We chose the traditional Scottish breakfast on the first morning - wonderful. On the second morning we had smoked haddock with poached eggs. A great way to start the day. We will definitely be back.

Visited both dining options at this hotel whilst in the area last weekend.Both excellent and always busy.. Cannot fault the food or service and next time will book in to the hotel as the atmosphere of the whole set up here is perfect.Keep up the great work.. Don't lose your style!!

Breakfast was not quite what I expected, staff not helpful at all and when you asked for extra butter for your toast,you were frown up. No jam only marmalade, no natural yogurt and jugs of fruit juice were never filled up so you may have wanted another glass but you,d over stepped the mark asking for more butter and jam. A poor breakfast didn't feel welcome at all felt they wanted to clear up everything to get you out when there was still another hour to go for breakfast, and for the money I wouldn't go back

Pleasant lunch in this restaurant. Variety of options from sandwiches to burgers and fish and chips. Service was ok although we had 3 different people dealing with us and the water failed to appear. That was a minor detail, we all enjoyed our food and would certainly return.

This hotel restaurant is open to non residents and has an excellent variety of traditional Scottish dishes served in a quiet and comfortable dining room.

Had lunch here today and was delighted to be able to have beautifully cooked mussels. Absolutely delicious. Staff great and very friendly. Rest of menu was wonderful. What a choice at lunch time. Had dinner here on several previous occasions. First rate value

Met friends here for lunch and was impressed by the warm welcome from the staff and the interior of the hotel. The reception area is furnished with very comfortable sofas and the paintings on the walls are all very Scottish but with a modern twist. The dining room is comfortable but lacks the atmosphere of the reception area but it does look out looks out onto the river. The menu was extensive, very reasonably priced, and the food was superb. The restaurant staff were efficient and friendly. We will definitely be going back to the Atholl Arms.

I was disappointed when I took visiting family to the Riverview. Staff pleasant if a little inattentive (we had to request refill of our water glasses), the room itself a little dull (and the view of the Tay smaller than I had expected). Food looked better on the menu than on the plate or tasted in the mouth ( a few days on I cannot recall what I had as a main dish). However it was not expensive and was pleasant enough.I have certainly had worse!

We were staying in dunked area for a short break and decided to go out for a birthday meal, as my sister is a vegetarian we looked at various menus and decided on the river view restaurant. We called in to book a table and the young lady at reception was very helpful. Upon arrival at the restaurant we were greeted by Alan who saw to our needs through the evening along with Paris both of them were attentive and professional. The food was very good and we all had 3 courses. My sister was very pleased that as a vegetarian she had at least 2 choices for every course. Alan and Paris were two lovely people who gave great service. We also had the best table with a great view of the river.

We waren laat om te lunchen en te vroeg om te dineren. Toch moest er gegeten worden. Voorgerechtjes waren prima, hoofdgerecht (fish&chips) makkelijk en wel ok. Het restaurant straalt weinig sfeer uit. De locatie is erg mooi.

We eat here regularly but had to review tonight's meal. I had baby haggis with fried duck egg to start, which I have recently had in a five star hotel, the Riverview restaurant's version was superior in every way. The locally sourced chantrelles on toast were simply unbeatable.Mains were Pousain and Pork&Haggis Sausages (think gourmet) absolutely magical. The wine list was very clever before... Now it is incredible. Serious quality at affordable prices. It's so refreshing to see great wine on wine lists that are not pretentious and scary at the thought of the check.Cami is an amazing host, she'll make you feel so welcome.If you have the chance go to The Riverview Restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

Had a very pleasant lunch here.I had pear, blue cheese and walnut salad and it was well presented and delicious.The surroundings were comfortable and inviting.Our waitress could not have been more helpful or friendly.Would recommend.

Dined here whilst staying in the area last week. Had the lovely local Dunkeld smoked salmon starter and my wife had a very fresh tomato and mozzarella salad. Both were beautifully presented and tasty.For main I had the duck breast and my wife enjoyed the fillet of sea bass. Both dishes were stunning and worthy of a pudding.Whilst we thought the dessert menu was offered we had to decline as we were full. Lovely wine list and staff were polite, friendly and eager to please.All in all the experience was of what we would expect in top city restaurant and we can't wait to go back next time we are in the area.

Booked ahead to dine in the Riverview Restaurant during our overnight stay in Dunkeld as there appeared to be a dearth of restaurants open during the evening. In fact it was not busy despite being a Saturday night. The meal was adequately cooked and presented, and the service polite but spiritless. To be honest we had expected a more welcoming atmosphere but the restaurant felt rather clinical. Afterwards we discovered there is an adjacent bistro which may have been more to our liking and which perhaps we will try on a future visit.

Arrived about 5.30pm. Asked if meals were being served as previous restaurant we tried was closed till 6.00pm for dinner. We were asked if we wanted to eat in rhe bistro or the river view dining room overlooking the river Tay. We chose the river view. Very friendly efficient. We had the steak and ale pie and the venison burger, both excellentFinished off with sticky toffee pudding (one of the best ever). We will be back.

My wife had booked a table for us here tonight, for my birthday. When we arrived we were informed there was already a large party of diners in the Riverview and as they were "rowdy & loud" we could eat in the adjoining restaurant. The Meeting Place. We would have liked to sit at our reserved window "Riverview" table but due to the noise of the large party we decided to eat in the adjoining restaurant. The food was excellent and the service very good, however the ambiance and view were not what we wanted. The bill at the end of the evening did not reflect any amendment to the price considering the amendment to the location, which would have been a nice consideration. Having said that we could not fault the food or service. Paying just under £100 for a meal for two (with wine, whiskey & coffee) is still a fair old price when you don't even get to eat in the restaurant you originally booked. Yes we were given a choice, but should we have had to do that??

Visited here last weekend for lunch the place had no atmosphere ordered food came out all wrong forgot the soup order and was cold the price for what you get was hideous will not be back . No one seemed to care that you where customers .

The service and menu were excellent. The execution was very good but I somehow expected more. The restaurant's central location next to the river is great.

I went at the last minute, quite late in the evening. The choice was still excellent, the service impeccable, the combination of tastes delightful. For whatever reason you want to treat yourself, this is the place.

We liked the environment. The staff were great. Food excellent and local too!

Stayed at the Atholl Arms Hotel 10 days in October 2014 while being at at the Perthshire Amber Festival. The morning buffet was excellent with a very large selection, - and they managed to serve a perfect boiled smiling egg for me every morning. All my dinners were very carefully prepared, most tasteful and with great pleasantness for the eyes as well. But most important: The staff made me feel welcome and "at home" . I will look forward to come back.

We had previously eaten in this restaurant a couple of years ago and enjoyed an excellent meal. Our Easter Sunday lunch however was awful. Very basic dining with undercooked anaemic looking fish & chips, certainly not fine dining as it used to be. Such a shame as its a great location

Spent two wonderful days at our favourite hotel in Dunkeld. As usual, the service and attention to detail was impeccable and faultless. The value for money on our two night dinner bed and breakfast was outstanding. The Riverview Restaurant Restaurant is bursting with character and has outstanding views of the river Tay, complemented by the fine dining experience and wonderful service. We can say that all of our meals were of the highest standard, and would put even the best local restaurants and hotels to shame. My wife had baked Haddock, and I, braised ox cheeks. The presentation was definitely up to finest dining standard, and the flavour and quality of produce excellent. Value for money??, a resounding "YES"!! I would recommend the Atholl Arms Hotel with no reservations to anyone thinking of going to either stay or eat. If there were six stars to score them, then I would not hesitate to do so.Colin & Cath FerrierVisited March 2015

My holidaying group of 15 were welcomed to the delightful Riverview Restaurant, part of the Atholl Arms Hotel, Dunkeld on two occasions last week. The pre-booking was very easy and the ambience of the restaurant augured well for a splendid evening. We were not disappointed - excellent food and wine, friendly and attentive staff and no pressure to conclude our enchanting time, Sufficient to report, my group 'pined' for another visit and three evenings later we were back enjoying ourselves again. Our host on the second occasion, Alan Berwick, was charming, attentful and very accommodating and his staff complemented the evening as the same qualities of the first occasion were repeated, perhaps even enhanced! I have been visiting Dunkeld now for 22 years and this is only the second holiday I have indulged at the Riverview - it will most certainly not be my last ! Highly recommended and guess what ? The Gourmet Society's Card is welcome also !Our cup runneth over on both occasions - well done Alan and your staff.

Great food, well served. Much more available than the website would have you believ; bar menu, resturant menu, good selection of specials and two dining areas available.

Just a brilliant simple mouth watering burger... Nothing at fault just want to eat 3 or 4 next time I'm at.Very good fresh taste.

We booked into Riverview for a special Valentine's dinner menu. We were both attracted by this menu, as it had interesting choice and although it was still very much based on wholesome Scottish produce and cooking, the whole thing was with a twist: some dishes such as the smoked salmon ravioli in lobster bisque with wilted spinach sounded quite different! Bit pricey, we thought, but took the risk. And it paid off so much that I will always remember this meal as a super treat and want to thank the chef(s) who created it and cooked it. The flavour combinations worked, we thought everything was fresh, cooked and seasoned very well, and my pudding of trio of chocolate was divine. We were also given (as free) a small helping of homemade bread that was fluffy and fresh, and tasted as baked at home, and little croutons with goats cheese to start with, very nice. The service was professional and relaxed, chatty and pro-active. We had a really nice time and will come back when in the area!

Spending a week at our timeshare in Dunkeld we came across this unpretentious, but excellent restaurant by the bridge over the Tay. So good was the food, that we visited a second time and were not disappointed. A good choice of menu with excellent "specials", all very tasty and with good service. We will be back...

Went revisted the Riverview for lunch and it has changed. The menu was totally different and the staff seemed not too happy that day. The meals were rather mediocre and the atmosphere was not so nice because there were hardly any other guests in the restaurant. I was informed that the restaurant had not changed hands. So why did everything seem so different? Very disapointing indeed.

Заказывала столик оп-лайн по отзывам с ТА. Почтовый индекс у них в адресе неверный, нужно PH8 0AQ! Если пользуетесь навигатором. Мы приехали на ужин в воскресенье, в ресторане НИКОГО не было, кроме нас… неуютно как-то, впрочем еда была неплохая. Брали голубя: грудка сочная, а ножка сухая, как будто не только что зажарена, но в целом – вкусно. Пока ужинали, официанты стали убирать посуду с других столиков и накрывать на завтрак, так как это отель. Просто ужасно!

I have booked on-line. Postal code in their address is incorrect, you need PH8 0AQ! If you use the Navigator. We arrived on a Sunday dinner, the restaurant was empty and we felt us uncomfortable... somehow, however the food was not bad.

No one to greet us despite ringing bell for service. Only one other table occupied which is unusual on a Saturday lunch-time whilst restaurant next door was full! Little ambience and no staff available in the restaurant itself except when serving or clearing. My 3 companions found their food very average whilst mine was a bowl of tasteless overcooked fish! We were not asked how food was until we were finished so when I was offered for my food to be cooked again I declined as I would have been eating alone. Very disappointing and we won't be back!

Following the wonderful reviews on trip advisor we made a booking for a special dinner. We sat alone in this empty restaurant, so it wasn't as though the staff were busy, yet we had a different 'busy' waitress each time the table needed attention. My entree arrived very soon after ordering, so I politely asked if we could have some space before serving our main course . Indeed we were given "space",but when our mains did arrive the plates were too hot to touch and one suspects our mains had been cooked and left sitting in an oven, while we had our "space"! This is not how a well reviewed restaurant should present itself. Very very disappointed

Located overlooking the river rapids, by the old bridge in the Dunkeld old town.Small gardens and the old bridge are worth a look for a before or after-meal short walk.It has its own parking below by the river and beside the old bridge, but you need to turn in quickly at the corner to get into the lot. It took us 2 tries to get it right, but it is not difficult if you know where it is you car is not too wide. The restaurant is in the Atholl Arms hotel and on the corner, so it is very easy to spot. We had Scottish rib eye and smoked salmon dishes with greens salads. Everything was perfectly prepared. Small wine list, but acceptable inexpensive wine choices.Moderate pricing. Good value.

We ate at this restaurant on the Saturday night during our recent 2-night stay. We can honestly say we were very, very impressed with the quality of the food. Lovely menu with a good selection of choices using locally sourced produce. We had sea bass with lobster sauce, crushed herb potatoes, samphire and asparagus - absolutely divine!! Cheese board and sticky toffee pudding were heavenly!! There were locals dining as well as residents (always a good sign!) and when non-residents turned up looking for breakfast on Sunday morning, they were made very welcome! When we passed on our good comments to the friendly and helpful staff, we found out that the restaurant has a new Head Chef - Alister - so, thanks Alister and the rest of the team for making this such an enjoyable and memorable meal!! We will be back!!

This is genuinely the very first review I have ever posted on Trip Advisor.All we can say is amazing. There's not been food this good In Dunkeld in years.Great service. Wonderful Hospitality. Wine that is very clever. And FOOD...Aahhh the food, so good.We'll be back. Very Very Soon.

Very good food and good service. Really enjoyed our evening

Walked into this lovely restaurant by chance. Our small group of three were pleasantly surprised. Two of us eat vegan food and we had so many delicious sounding options, it was difficult to choose. My meat eating hubby was also spoilt for choice. His main meal of pork belly made him very happy and and the vegan tofu goulash and the nut roast were simply delicious. The salads were colourful and fresh and offered some wonderful flavour combinations of leaves and fruit. Yum!Service was fast and friendly. Prices were very fair. We will return.

This was my third visit for food at the Atholl Arms and I really enjoyed their latest vegan-friendly additions to the Riverview Menu (which we kindly offered for lunch so we could have extra vegan options). My fiance & I shared a starter of beetroot salad, chickpea fritters, and avocado cream. I'm not normally a fan of avocado but the cream was really tasty. For main, he had the bean & vegetable burger with the vegan goddess dressing, and I had the Puy lentil and broad bean stew with broccoli tempura and ginger and citrus tofu. I think I would have preferred a marinated tofu rather than the flavour being drizzled over; however, maybe a more subtle flavour was more of a complement to the stew. The broccoli tempura was amazing, I could have eaten a whole plate of it. It was a decent portion and I felt quite satisfied afterwards. We shared the dessert of Silken tofu brulee; I thought it had a nice sweetness, and it's always exciting for a vegan dessert to be available. I don't know how appealing it would be to non-veggies though as it looks too much like tofu in it's original form. Tofu is so versatile and I think diners would be surprised if it was whipped up with cocoa powder to make a chocolate mousse, or a tiramisu. Service was excellent. I look forward to my next visit!

Booked Lunch for Mother's day simple but good. Friendly staff, good choice of food and a good atmosphere.

We had a light lunch , so it was not a great test of culinary skills but it was very nice and well presented by friendly and efficient staff. The room is a bit bare but not uncomfortable .Would like to see it when tables are laid for dinner. Would definitely visit again in the evening.

Really superb food in terms of quality and choice,and quite reasonably priced Friendly attentive staff

We ate here during a 1 night stay at the hotel. Our dinner was really outstanding, very good food, beautifully presented with good combinations of flat ours. We commented on the fact that they had a good chef. Our table for two was at the window so if it had been a light evening we would have had a good view of the river, so the restaurant would have lived up to its name. As it was we had the view in the morning at breakfast which again was excellent. Recommended.

Just back from a lovely weekend stay at the Atholl Arms Hotel in Dunkeld and we ate in the Riverview Restaurant the first evening and in the hotel bar/bistro the second evening. As a veggie for over 30 years, I was so pleased to enjoy great and creative vegetarian food on both evenings. The menus go much further than the usual 'vegetarian option' with lots of excellent veggie choices per course in both the restaurant and the bar/bistro. Thank you so much. It was great to get good vegetarian food without having to negotiate and also to get as much choice as those who eat fish and meat. We will definitely be back soon. Jan and Duncan, Edinburgh

Really nice to see, and taste, good quality, imaginative vegetarian options on the menu. Whoever cooks them seems to understand veggies want proper meals, not just a salad.

After a long day of traveling, we found our cottage and before unpacking, headed into Dunkeld for dinner. It was getting dark and we were hungry, so we just stopped at the first place we saw, this hotel restaurant at the Atholl Hotel. We had an excellent meal served by a very friendly wait staff. The fish was outstanding and the pork was tender and delicious. Dessert was special as well. A perfect way to introduce us to Dunkeld, one of our favorite towns.

My fiancé and I are considering getting married in Dunkeld, and were there in July to scope out potential food options, and had had a great email response back from the Atholl Arms about vegan options. The service was really good, and for lunch we had a vegan friendly veggie burger with 'Vegan goddess' dressing (tahini, sesame seed paste, chives, lemon and oil), and cashew cheese sandwich, which tasted nothing of cashew cheese but very much of tahini, but was still tasty so we didn't say anything about it as we'd otherwise been very pleased so far. They had said that they if we booked for the next day they would make sure they had a vegan friendly special option on the menu the next day, which we did. I so wish we'd tried the Lentil & Cashew Loaf, but we opted for the 'Potato Rosti' special. It was very oily and salty, and was literally a plate of vegetables, with a potato pancake underneath green beans, 2 halved red onions, 2 halved bulbs of fennel (I think) and a little chopped peppers. We very much appreciated the consideration, but felt like someone thought, "What do vegans eat? Vegetables!" and made the dairy/meat/egg free option a default "Everything free" option to suit any customer who came in with any sort of allergy or intolerance: no gluten, wheat, sugar, nuts... flavour. We would visit again, and plan to do so again later in the year, and think we may try the Lentil and Cashew nut loaf as that sounded quite interesting and flavoursome.

We ate in the Riverside as we were staying at the hotel. Really glad we did. The local produce is well cooked and presented. Really enjoyable dinner.

On the basis of the favourable reports on this site my wife and I booked a table in the restaurant to celebrate an anniversary but the moment we walked through the entrance to the hotel I could sense its decomposition; it is a dingy hotel suited to those who wear tee shirts, grubby jeans, and dirty trainers. The entire ambience was dismal and depressive. To advertise the restaurant as having a river view is a 'con' although a small area of it can be seen but do not expect to be excited. The decor of the joint was drab and uninteresting. The dining tables were without coverings although had a dingy cheap ornament holding one yellow weed like flower. When the meal arrived it had no resemblance to that exhibited in the hotel's brochure; it was akin to a dog's excrement and tasted as awful; its appalling flavour remained in my mouth until I was able to get something else to eat. We were the only diners in the restaurant yet it was a Saturday evening. The meal was inevitably abandoned when we politely paid the bill and did a quick exit. We headed to the nearby Hilton and enjoyed better food and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening listening to pleasurable music.

Took my father here for lunch and it more than passed his exacting standards! Good selection on menu and great view of river.

very good range of fresh local food, well chosen menu, good river views and good fresh cooked breakfasts also

A great meal is to had at this pleasant restaurant. Our party was warmly welcomed and seated quickly.None of us wanted a starter so we just ordered main courses. not long after taking the order a tray of complimentary dips and breads arrived as well as a large jug of minted lemon water, My steak was perfect and the mushroom and whisky sauce that came with it was also good. The other members of our group had chicken and duck dishes which were also faultless.the deserts were just as good. a very pleasant dining experience that will be repeated.

Had outstanding meals when I stayed.There were 14 people in our party but the service was spot on and very efficient.A lot of us were veggies so there were more meals put on the menu for the weekend we stayed which was a fantastic touch.The veggie dishes were delicious with a lot of imagination put into them.Can't really speak highly enough of the food,the non veggies had excellent dishes too.Will definitely be back.

I was staying locally with friends and was treated to dinner at the RiverView restaurant. Simply put, it was the best meal I have had in a long time. The food was fantastic quality and combined with excellent service made it a most memorable experience, one which I'll be repeating on my next visit to Dunkeld. Can't sing the praises of the staff highly enough.

my husband had decided to take me somewhere different to celebrate our wedding anniversary and after a lot of searching he came up with the riverview restaurant!And what a fantastic delightful and delicious meal we had,both my hubby and i had the local salmon starter which was delicious by far best salmon i have ever had!our main course was the breast of corn fed chicken also very tasty!hubby didnt have sweet but i just could not resist the gorgeous looking chocolate cheesecake which may i add tasted as good as it looked!!.....also the service was spot on also friendly staff made the whole anniversary treat the best yet!! 10 out of 10 for food/service&friendly staff, and 10 out of 10 for my hubby!!
