Taste Perthshire in Perth & Kinross

Lots of choice of goods and a bonus that it was open late .

We visited the highland cows round the back. You can buy food for them in-store

Always good friendly service - even arriving at the end of day it wasn't a problem. Good food and nice shopping place.

Really lovely breakfast.Slightly expensive compared to other restaurants but very tasty.

Good stopping off rather than service station. Friendly staff. Lots of interesting gifts especially Highland Coos

The cheese scones are amazing. The BEST scones we've tried

Great stop for a meal, shopping, and, of course, to see and feed the Highland cows.

Recomend the cheese scones👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧❤

A tourist stop by the road with a cafe, souvenir shop, but more importantly cute Heilan Coo. Can buy the food from the shop and feed the coo ^^ Don't worry if they take your hand into their mouth, they don't bite.

Love looking round this place. Food is 1st class and decent portions. The shop can take a while to look round, so you could spend an afternoon shopping and eating. Fresh produce available to buy as well.

Well located. Good restaurant and a nice souvenir shop. Station too.

A great place to shop /eat and rest can’ think of anything I dint like

Good stop to see the hairy cows

Really good place on the road, taste food.

Cozy, has souvenirs and good food but the best thing was being able to see and feed the Hairy Coo

A wonderful little gem just off the A9 … restaurant / take - a - way / delicatessen/ gift shop / ladies & men’s clothing … great to see the Highland Cows … fill up with petrol before setting off again on your travels. Staff are always friendly & very helpful 🌟

Stop by for coffee and get to know...in situ...the famous and exclusive Scottish cow

Nice and quiet. Here you can see the famous hairy cows. It has a motorhome area

Great produce and lovely restaurant

Nice place to admire the Highlands coo (difficult to find) plus the store is very well stocked and the prices are not excessive

Food was great. Staff was very nice. Store inside was nice. Great for taking a break after a long drive.

Great rest area. The cafe does a breakfast to die for. Good stop for fuel, food and a rest.

Stopped at Taste Perthshire for a quick pitstop on our way from Edinburgh to the Highlands, and it turned out to be the perfect break! They have clean toilets, delicious breakfast options, a great selection of drinks, and even food to feed the cows! The food was excellent, but what really stood out was the outstanding service. Every single staff member was so kind, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making sure we were well taken care of. They made us feel like part of their family, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our first meal in Scotland here! The loaded baked potato was wonderful. Place has a lovely shop and place to purchase food for the road. Staff was lovely, friendly and efficient. Lots of folks here for afternoon tea. Thank you!

A nice place. They make you stop when you go on a trip to the Highlands. but many people

Great place for a break. Excellent espresso and scone. Table service was very efficient.

First Class stop over, the biggest jacket potato ever, totally fabulous place to stop

Stopped there on the way to Newcastle. Great place. We had coffee and sandwiches. Fast service, delicious food. Specially liked the setting outside. Nice cosy tables, to enjoy the sunshine. Kids went to playground and loved the little house. Spacious car park with petrol station was very convenient too.

An unexpected bonus here😍I bought very sweet Scottish strawberries🍓

What a lovely wee gem of a place. I was expecting more service station type diner. Instead they had a restaurant, with an option of eating outside in lovely little huts. They were wee sun traps, while keeping us sheltered from the wind (there were some in the shade too). There was a play area and the food was delicious . It was pricey but the quality of the product used was high - from a fresh from farm/boutique cafe. The staff were lovely and so helpful.

Most excellent place. Follow the sign, 2 minutes off the main road. 100% better than a regular motorway service stop off.

Very interesting place. You can eat and shop.

Staff very nice and good range of stock and the option to go slightly of menu.

Loads of selection for what is otherwise a roadside stop. And there are hairy coos! And you can pet them!

Top place to view and eat nice things in the souvenir shop. We had a delicious meal here. Highly recommended

I take peoplenhere all the time on my tours and without exception everyone bas said its a lovely stop. The staff are all lovley.

The best food I've had at a service station, great surprise

Great food at reasonable prices. Always a cheery welcome from lovely staff

Friendly service. Good quality traditional dining in a pleasant environment.

Very nice location for a motorway service station on the M9. Nice food and drinks

Amazing place. We stayed here with our motorhome. (Free and immediately made to feel very welcome). It looks somewhat average from outside but once you spend a bit of time here you see how special it is. We will have been here almost 24 hours when we leave. We had lunch yesterday, breakfast this morning and soon will be having afternoon tea in one of their huts. Food is excellent. The staff, service and atmosphere are impressive. They could not have been any more flexible to accommodate our kids who are fussy eaters. Nothing is too much trouble. We spent a fair amount of time sat outside in the sun on their very comfortable sofa. We watched other guests come with dogs and the staff would show up after a little while with water bowls for the dogs. So much more I could say. Highland cows (with babies) 1 minute walk away. (Kids enjoyed feeding them). Kids play area that our kids spent hours in. Really can't praise this place enough. A special mention to the restaurant staff who really could not do enough to make our visit as pleasant as possible. Thank you.

If you're looking for a great location with a dog and want to eat and drink delicious food....amazing for a "rest stop"...the word just doesn't fit. You can also buy all sorts of things: local cheese, whiskey, clothing, souvenirs, etc

Plenty of seating, excellent atmosphere. Good range of food available. After ordering, a cool glass of Coke quickly appeared, followed by an immense portion of a 6oz steak burger, slathered with cheesy chilli beef and served with a generous helping of chips. It was a taste sensation, every flavour combined well to create a spicy, sticky delicious mess of a burger, accompanied by the crispiest but most fluffy chips ever. Followed by a portion of carrot cake, it was magical.

Love this place! Manager and waiters so friendly & the food is great!!!, have gone here for years and will return!

Wind yourself through the gift shop and bakery counters and arrive at the restaurant to enjoy a meal, dessert, a bit of gin, you can't go wrong. I had the steak pie, which was delectably flaky and hearty, and an Edinburgh rhubarb and ginger gin and tonic. We also enjoyed a fruit crumble with custard; maybe not the best health diet, though. Oh, and before you leave, go feed the Hairy Coo for the experience!

Always like to stop here for a meal on my way to and from my holidays. Food always excellent

Very original road station. With a chance to see the famous Scottish hairy cows.

So glad we stopped at 'Taste' the place looks pretty average from the outside. However when you step inside ...wow some amazing shops, we spent almost an hour. Food was great at responsible prices. I loved the beach huts, painted In some amazing colours. The highlight was the visit to the Highland Cows, in the field next to 'Taste'. Will definitely return 👍

Always an excellent stop, very highly recommended.

Arrived very early in the morning with our motor home after driving up from France the evening before. Parked up in the corner to catch a few hours sleep before popping in for a lovely full fry up and coffee. The place is lovely and the staff are so nice. I would recommend a little look at the shop as well. Worth a stop on route north or south.

Second time coming here 1st time I ordered poached eggs and crumpets service was slow waited half hour for food and my poached eggs where raw the server was very sorry and was very nice mentioned she had been here for years can't remember her name .. 2nd time now currently 25 mins been sat down and we are still waiting for breakfast my coffee is finished the restaurant is empty.. probably drive past this place next time I head down south Food finally comes I'm missing sausages from breakfast and they are clearly deep fried horrible taste same with black pudding it's been deep fried has no flavour left in it and just oily for the price it is.. it's a bang average breakfast won't be back 100% P.s you need a new breakfast chef not one with the dirty cloth over the shoulder

Technical stop on the road for food and bathroom, good food options and clean bathrooms.

Extremely friendly staff from moment we entered the premises for breakfast. Very helpful, even to the extent of finding out the names of the Highland Coos for young granddaughter when I phoned in the evening. Happy granddaughter, happy grandad.

Everything was positive, really enjoyed taking Sunday lunch here after a long drive! Perfect

Always fantastic service, food and drinks. Staff are amazing 👏 we actually come most weeks to feed the cows as my daughter loves them! Food, atmosphere etc amazing so a great bonus! Shop has lots from toys, food clothing etc. Great place to take kids for calm play, lunch etc.

Our first visit and definitely will not be the last! Really efficient and cheerful service combined with tasty food. We had one of the sharing platters which was excellent - a wee taste of several menu items.

Excellent, hot food. Very tasty. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

A great place to break a long drive, just off the A9 between Perth and Dunkeld. It's both a Scottish produce shop, a deli and a restaurant. It now has a petrol station adjacent. We bought sandwiches and filled rolls to take away and they were excellent.

Great shop for a we walk round just off A9 sells a bit of everything at reasonable prices. Toilets are very clean.

Very good food and service. We are glad we stopped here.

Excellent food and staff so nice Very dog friendly l would highly recommend a visit

Good food and attentive staff. Lots of curious to look at and Highland cow's to feed.

Slightly over priced with distinctly average food, the shop is very nice though and the staff are lovely But the food definitely has a ‘prepared quality’ to it

Convenient stop. Pleasant shopping area, super staff and very good food.

Loved our over night stay in Cvan. Warm welcome. Nice products for retail therapy. Food lovely and good sized portions.

Nice find off the A9. Tasty food, fabulous friendly service. Cute wooden huts to sit in with dogs. Decent shop to look round.

Great place for dogs had our own little purple cabin. Deli and gifts loved it. We even pulled the van up for the night. Serve breakfast at 8 too.

Restaurant/ cafe at back of the shop. Great place for a stop on the way up to the north. Breakfast served from early morning, also huge choice of cakes, coffees, teas. If this doesn’t convince you ? Maybe a hairy coo will - only place on the way to Inverness at A9, where you can meet coo’s 🐮.

A very special rest stop restaurant with a decent scale. There are alpine cattle for viewing and taking photos, and a children's play area for parent-child tourists to have fun. There is a restaurant for catering, a restroom, and souvenirs/commodities/food/clothing for tourists to consume. , quite a nice resting spot!

Lovely food and staff make you very welcome.

Worth a visit, busy place, food good quick service reasonably priced

Your petrol filling station took double the amount from my bank account before refunding me the difference. This will shaft people near their overdraft etc. STOP making money off people just to get extra interest in your account. Gulf in name. Your business name on my bank statement. Should be ashamed of yourselves.

Me and my family have eaten here more than once on our way to and from Inverness, and I can honestly say the food is so good! Hot, fresh and tasty, the service is exceptional too. I always look forward to stopping here xx

Busy place just off the A9 at Bankfoot, well worh a visit

We generally come up to Taste Perthshire, every couple of weeks. However, our last 2 visits have been disappointing. My daughter has Coeliac disease and decided on this occasion, to join us, as we told her how good it was. We ordered and on arrival of our meal, they told her at this point, they didn't have any of the soup left that she chose. Therefore, we were served meals and she wasn't. I have had the Sunday Roast several times and it's always been delicious and tender. The last twice, it's been very thickly cut and so tough, I couldn't cut through it, nor eat it. Yesterday, they did deduct the price of a coffee and a cider. However, I essentially paid for a meal I couldn't eat. Such a shame as we are very regular customers. Hopefully just a blip

Good food and very nice people.

Stopped along the way to Inverness, and everyone in the family had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, especially the breakfast (I had Haggis for the first time, and it was DELICIOUS). Service was quick and friendly.

Cracking wee garden centre and cafe staff are friendly and helpful and quite a variety of goods for sale definitely worth a visit

Nice, cool and pleasant, Everyone will find something for themselves

Food is really good and the service was extremely outstanding and top notch. Not just one but every single one of them was really nice and accommodating to all our needs. They took care of us like their own and kept making sure we are all okay and good! My family and I love it so much here. It’s so so so so good. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Will definitely come here again if possible.

A nice place to rest and see the cows

Delicious food served in reasonable time. Decent shopping, and pleasant atmosphere.

Friendly staff clean reasonable vegetarian options

You can buy the grass and feed the highland cow here

Dogs not allowed into shop, much smaller than anticipated just like a moto services. Sat outside of restaurant with having the dog, got given menu but then never came back to take our order so left VERY disappointed. Would never go again.

Great road side cafe and restaurant. Costly but good rest stop, nice touch with sit down restaurant and take out options. Toilets are clean and pleasant. Fuel station on site with good fuel prices.

What a lovely hidden wee gem on the A9 at Bankfoot nice friendly staff lovely hot food ate outside dog friendly staff made a fuss over our dog will be back soon.

Great place for breakfast and a coffee. The shop is also much nicer than you’d expect!

Good place for stopping by, grab some foods and essentiak while traveling to upnorth and highlands

Wonderful stop. Spent the night in the night in their parking lot in our campervan. Grabbed takeout dinner and had the kids play around in the playground. Recommended!

Great place to grab something to eat or drink. The staff were great too!

While driving from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye in a rental car, I stopped just for a toilet break, but I ended up staying longer as the place had more gifts and food than I had expected. It was a very nice place with some rare items like small bottles of local whiskey, so I stopped by on my way home. There is also a gas station attached. I think the pork pie was a little salty.

Very well-run and organised with a great welcome. Shop selling gifts, memorabilia, crafts, clothes and a nice deli / food shop. The cafe / restaurant has a wide choice of food and delicious coffee. It has a quirky, traditional vibe from decades ago (in the best way possible) as you are greeted, seated and served at the table by highly-effective staff who take pride in their work. Loved the place.

Good cup of tea . And clean toilets

Beautiful meal, the best Latta Coffee I've ever tasted. David

It’s one of those places that you pass time and time again, wondering what’s in there. Had time to kill yesterday on the way up the A9. Popped in with just the intention of a wee nosey and ended up having a cooked breakfast in the restaurant. They also sell foods, clothes, accessories and homeware/ gifts. Staff were friendly and approachable. Thumbs up for the cook breakfast and coffee/ tea in normal sized cups instead of those silly large cups that other places seem to favour. Will be back again and already recommended Taste Perthshire to family. Well done!

A great stop on our way up to Speyside. Good car chargers for the EV, a lovely little loop walk for the dog past the cows and sheep. Dogs are welcome in the cosy cabins on the patio, but not inside the building. Good, traditional menu with something for everyone.

Did eat in the restaurant. Bacon roll was fine. Lots of interesting food stuffs.....

Good food, friendly service Upd: it's been a while since we last stopped in here, but glad to see the food and service are still good

A very busy restaurant but with plenty staff serving the customers. The fruit scones were lovely, and the strawberry 🍓 tarts were scrumptious, well, so my husband says Yes, I had the fruit scone.
