The Dome in Perth & Kinross

Popped in here for lunch with our dog. Decent amount of choice on the lunch menu. The steak pie was steak with a pastry top, rather than the pie we expected. The omelette was tasty and the portions were large. The staff were friendly and the service was quick.

Visited here 3 mornings on our stay in the area. Missed scones on first two mornings but succeeded on 3rd day👍. Nice homemade traybakes and cakes. Never tried any of the food but it all looked very nice coming out of the kitchen. Chatty staff all had time to take care of our dogs. Will definitely visit again if in area.

we have a regular Sunday breakfast in the Dome and it is always delicious and great value for money. the staff are all very friendly and helpful with one young lady in particular being a ray of sunshine on a cold morning. we love the banter and look forward to our Sunday outing.

Four of us for lunch. Fresh, delicious salad, sandwiches, toastie, and a six-part breakfast. Quick service l. Interesting and unique decor with carved wood seating and a "dome" room.

Absolutely first class . Great friendly service . Good home made food This business deserves to succeed .clearly used by locals also Nothing too much trouble and very dog friendly Will return

I often bring my mother here for lunch, the food is good for the price. We have had problems with the food being wrong before but today was terrible, my elderly mother cannot sit for too long and after waiting for half an hour for our lunch I asked how much longer will our food take?? The waitress hadn't noted it down properly or something so they had forgotten us.. My mother couldn't wait any longer so we left, the girl offered us one free slice of cake to apologise, but still charged us for two cups of tea...We won't be returning again! They have lost good customers. If it had been busy, I would completely understand that this could happen, but it wasn't.

Dropped in for lunch and settled for some great sandwiches ,good food ,good prices and good service .We were really taken with the Dome feature at the back ,it certainly feels like an Italean ice cream parlour which of course thats what it was originally . There is an interesting history hanging on the walls and the owner was quite happy to tell us about the original owners .

We come most weeks whether its takeaway or sit in. Food is fantastic cant fault the portion sizes. Cakes are amazing and believe all home made. Staff very friendly and always happy to help. Restaurant is always clean too.

This was our first visit after the recent refurbishment and we were very impressed. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the breakfasts we ordered were freshly cooked and plentiful with accompanying toast and unlimited tea and coffee. The menu had something for everyone and we will definitely be back.

First time here. Excellent value all day breakfast that includes toast and limitless tea/ coffee. Choose whichever items you want. Not at all greasy. Good covid precautions in place. Very friendly and accomodating.

WOW!!! What a difference now the new owner is in charge.The Dome has been completely redecorated to a high standard inside. At last one feels that they are welcome and the atmosphere is so friendly and relaxing. The place is spotlessly clean, with all the coronavirus precautions in place and readily accessible. Now the food - well presented,hot, plentiful and delicious. Couldn't eat all of my burger, it was too much.Good luck to the new owner and staff, you have certainly made a good impression on this couple of oldies!!!

Went to Blairgowrie for a drive out.Walked along and found the dome, my wife and I ventured in. So glad we did, what food, excellent service, hope to go back in the better weather. Highly recommend a visit.

Popped into The Dome in Blairgowrie for some lunch when I was visiting my parents. What an excellent cafe, amazing selection of freshly baked cakes. The coffee was lovely and a great selection of lunch items. Fantastic atmosphere within the cafe, and the staff were so lovely and helpful, really can not fault anything! Can't wait to visit again!

Came in for a coffee and a cake with the family and was given a warm welcome with friendly smiles. Had a variety of cakes to choose from, and the one I had tasted delicious. Would highly recommend coming to visit and I will be back very soon!

Popped in today for a coffee and cake and was made to feel very welcome by the staff. What a lovely atmosphere - a real gem! Cake was delicious! So much to chose from! Will definitely be back and would recommend without any hesitation.

The premises are spil between a cafe and a carry-out sadly one spills into the other. The cafe service was fine and the food looked o.k. but sitting in the cafe the overwhelming atmosphere was of a greasy-spoon.

What a lovely warm welcome on arrival. Fab coffee served by a lovely, effecient, friendly member of staff - Carrie. Thoroughly recommend this cafe - Carrie wins the award for creating the best customer service experience on my Scottish trip... 😊

Was a lovely wee place which caters for dogs.Food was very reasonably priced & very tasty.We were sitting through the back of the cafe underneath the domed ceiling. The atmosphere was lovely & very festive.The walls are covered in very affordable pictures, mainly of highland cows.I would return.

Been here a couple of times and has to be the best place in Blairgowrie to stop in for a coffee and a slice of their numerous great cakes.....it’s even dog friendly! Friendly, polite service. Next time going through town, we’ll have to stop and try their amazing all day breakfast again too. Honestly couldn’t ask for more!!

4 hot drinks and 4 slices of cake couldn’t take any longer to organise. Apparently no table service either. We had to pay again on the car park it took so long then my hot chocolate was ice cold so I returned it. The lady kindly offered to fix it and bring it to my table. Thankfully I’ve been around a bit longer than her so carefully checked the temperature of my cup which no surprise was scolding hot. Clever prank ladies but it wouldn’t have been funny if I’d burnt my lips and ended up in A&E....... most definitely DO NOT recommend and certainly will not return. Customer skills nil points!!

I visited recently with a friend and her large retired guide dog. This is a dog friendly place. The welcome was warm, the cakes were delicious and there is an excellent selection of coffee and tea. Service was prompt. I definitely recommend this eatery.

We look for good food at a fair price and this is the place...........Breakfasts very good including your tea and toast, staff are cheerful and helpful we will be returning. we are just disappointed that we dont have The Dome down south so we could visit more often

Great choice of cakes for afternoon treat, including gluten free options, all served with warm and welcoming service. Definitely return when visiting the area.

Visited yesterday with family. Really warm friendly welcome. Lovely homemade food, great portion sizes. Food was that fresh that when we ordered burgers, they went down to the local butcher for fresh burgers! Love when local businesses support each other! a nice relaxed atmosphere, where you didn’t feel rushed to leave. Will definitely be back.

My husband and I come here for early breakfast sometimes on our way to Perth. Wonderful choice and the food is always good. Late afternoon on our way through, again we will pop in for a treat. Apple pie and ice cream is his favourite. The staff are very friendly and efficient.

Brilliant breakfast in a surprisingly large interesting building. Breakfast was really good on Wednesday on way for a few days away we went back on Friday for another. Brilliant food, brilliant staff. Hoping too be near again and have another

I went here for breakfast with my mother in law and it was honestly the best breakfast I have ever had. It was so good that when we were on our way home after a two day trip to Pitlochry, we stopped in by for breakfast again. The price is great and the food is of fantastic quality. We will definitely visit here again next time we are in Blairgowrie.

Serendipitously fell upon this charming café for a quick lunch on our way to Edinburgh. It was quite difficult to concentrate on lunch when faced with an array of sweet treats enticing you, like there is no tomorrow. Just take a look at the photos and you will know what I mean. The food is well presented, tasty and locally sourced. Prices are more than reasonable. The owners and staff will surely win you over with their friendly service. Well worth a stop if you are in Blairgowrie.

If you want a great full Scottish breakfast look no further. A cafe with old church pews to give it some character. Lovely cakes and scones. Good menu but my favourite is their brekkie with all locally sourced ingredients.

we saw this place as we had parked in the car park close by. the décor is unique very classic and traditional wooden benches, which gave a great atmosphere. Food was excellent my wife raved over her soup and I had the omelette which was huge! service was excellent to! needless to say we will be back!

Great selection of baking Up a side street so not immediately obvious to us Good Value I'd definitely go back if in the town again Oldie world inside interior ; we liked it

Really good place with good quality food. Very good produce and varied menu. Service was excellent. A random find that turned out to be an excellent lunch for the family. would visit again when in the area.

Roast beef, mozzarella & caramelised red onion chutney Panini....absolutely delicious. Stopped in here on a drive out - lovely little place. Top staff, very friendly

We visited the dome for a spot of lunch while enjoying a short winter break. The food was fantastic as was the service. The owner was happy to chat and provided us with some nice recommendations of places to have dinner that night. The building itself was charming with really nice features retained from its past as an Italian ice cream parlour/fish and chip shop. Excellent value for money and we wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend to others.

Thank you again, Dome Blairgowrie, for yet another top class breakfast. Great quality ingredients, cooked to order and served with a smile. Coffee is perfect too. Very good value. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

The standards have been slipping of late. They should take more care in ordering better quality ingredients from their suppliers.

A lovely, dog friendly cafe in the centre of Blairgowrie. This was a welcome stop after walking up and down the river bank on a chilly day. Hot coffee, a lovely array of cakes. We were only in for about 3 mins and the waitress came over to offer us a bowl of water for our dogs. A lovely touch.

Visited this place on Sunday whilst in Blairgowrie. Decided to try The chicken and sweetcorn soup on offer. have to say this is the best I have ever had. Soup was thick and very creamy. Delicious. Soup was served with a roll and butter. This place also has an amazing selection of cakes and scones to choose from as well.

This is a local institution. With its domed dining area and booths. The coffee, tea and cakes are very good, good quality and reasonably priced. Staff are chatty and service is good.

We arrived just as owner was closing up but he was very happy to stay open to cook for us. Food was very good and reasonably priced and the owner was very friendly.

Stopped in here on the way back down south - looks nice from outside but unfortunately in my opinion this place felt grubby, food was not up to scratch, it was slow service and my child was practically glued into the old wooden high chair it was that sticky with the layers of grime.

It's always a treat to visit The Dome in Blairgowrie, a wonderful selection of cakes and the best coffee in town.

We were quite amazed at the size of the Scottish breakfast offered at the Dome. It was all cooked to order and was of a good quality a plateful arrived which was well presented, with a choice of types of eggs and items to choose from.

Although clean and tidy with lighter décor and friendly staff , the service was slow. Our meal was nothing special despite the "home made" claims and was expensive.

Lovely cafe with excellent food and service. Nice to sit in the actual Dome area rather than the front if the cafe shop.

Food average.coffee was like an instant coffee made with milk at home and they charge top dog for it will not be going back

The Dome is a lovely café in the heart of Blairgowrie. The food was great and the portion size was well worth the price with huge freshly prepared sandwiches with tasty fillings accompanied by salad and chips. Only trouble is how to find room for the vast array of cakes and pastries on offer. Don't miss out on a visit to this establishment when visiting the town, you will not be disappointed

Very impressed with breakfast and varied choice on menu in a clean setting ,staff friendly and helpful and prices very good

We visited the Dome restaurant on a day trip to Blairgowrie. The food was excellent and the staff were efficient and friendly. Loved the authentic old style setting inside the building, very rare to find somewhere in this day and age that has not been ruined by so called modernisation. We will be back!

Had cream tea for 4; good value! Nice place with good ambience ; good place to rest and stretch your legs🤗

Food was outstanding and has improved and could not have been faulted in any way shape or form, service from staff was exceptionally friendly, would highly recommend this establishment to any local visitors to the area.

I had a delicious breakfast here. The staff were friendly, and the ambiance remended me of a by-gone era. The blond waitress was charming. I noticed her being particularly helpful and friendly with the older customers. She is a real asset to this restaurant.

Liked the look of the place from the outside and were tempted in by the promise of home cooked food. We weren’t disappointed, the lentil soup was delicious and the servings were so generous we had to leave some! We will go back if we get the chance

My husband and I were staying in a hotel nearby n we decided to have b/fast at the Dome restaurant. We asked for 2 breakfast and we were asked if we would like to sit in or takeaway. We opted to sit in. We waited nearly 25 minutes and when the bfast finally arrived we were served in a takeaway container and we were told to help ourselves with the plastic cutlery and tea was served in a 'carton' cup. Tasteless! The Sausages were like cardboard round the edges we believe they been reheated in the mwave. Overall DISGUSTING

Now just as good as before that the new owners have taken over since summer 2017

The Dome was a warm & welcoming relief, after a shopping trip to Blairgowrie on a bitter cold day with my wife & sister in law. Finding a cosy corner in the beautifully ornate Dome, we tucked into the home made Chicken Broth & Lentil Soups on offer both of which were excellent. We followed this up with what could only be described as a top class cheese covered steak-burger, with side salad, coleslaw and a mountain of chips which were done to perfection. To be honest we all struggled to finish the huge helpings, but such was the quality of food on offer we weren't going to be beaten. Coffee's & Teas followed with a choice of cakes chosen from the excellent display from the dome shaped counter and like the rest of the food the quality of the home made cakes were perfection. Throughout our visit the attention from the staff couldn't be bettered, and it was a delight to find such a quaint and welcoming family run establishment today with so many quick food outlets being the norm. I highly recommend a visit to the Dome any time your in the area, you wont be disappointed! Value for money all round.

Loved this place. The Domed ceiling through the back is awesome and is full of history and character. The coffee was okay - could have been better but the cake was deeelicious. I also felt the seats could have been better laid out to make it more welcoming

Treated myself to an afternoon break during the cold weather. Hot choc deluxe plus red velvet cake - hit the right spot.

Back home for a flying visit. Stopped off in the Dome for lunch. The fish was freshly made and delicious with nice chips. Very helpful and friendly staff. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Blair.

This has long been a fav of ours and we have been several times. I'm aware that it is under new ownership but sadly the range and variety has dwindled. The food is okay now, just not as good as I recall but it's early days and I'm hopeful of an improvement. I used to like the quirkiness of the place and it now seems a little 'bare' but that's just my taste

Tried to get lunch here on 27th Dec but closed due to festive season. Good meal last time I was here if a bit cramped at the small tables. Will definitely go back in the new year.

Frequently visit this cafe but have to say the staff are always polite and friendly and helpful, the food on the other hand is going down hill with an obvious change in suppliers, not as fresh as the local produce was but prices have stayed the same, if the quality has dropped then so should have the prices to accommodate this, I have been a loyal customer of this cafe for a number of years so have noticed a substantial difference, I say bring back the old ways.

the staff friendly and polite ....food poor sausage burnt , coverd in beans black pudding cheap and tasted of perfume ...nothing nice to say about the meal

Myself and my partner popped in for lunch today whilst visiting the area. It was our first visit so we didn't know what to expect, but the prices seemed very reasonable so we gave it a try. What a breath of fresh air! The food was really good and the service was excellent. The man who served us (possibly the owner?) was very attentive and friendly and the lady who brought over our meals was very polite. I wish there were more places like this :)

Top notch fare with reasonable prices. Outstanding coffee and deserts. Lots of seating. They don't take credit cards but an ATM is just across the street.

Quaint cafe and diner which is worth a look. We loved the old world decor and the food was quite nice.

Very good service, new owners and seem to be working well and improving all nature off things. Well worth a visit with friends and family. Cakes are very scrumpy, but be quick as they sell out sometimes.

A spur of the moment decision to pop in for breakfast. We sat in the front part of the cafe which has the 'pew style' benches. Through the back you have a relaxed cafe style dinning room. You need to order at the counter, are given a tray and grab cutlery and condiments etc. The food and hot drinks will be brought to the table. We had roll of sausages and roll of black pudding with hot chocolate and a soft drink. We found the actual rolls a bit too floury for our liking but they were generously filled with tasty sausages and black pudding.

This looks nice but on our visit we werent overly impressed. The staff didnt seem to interested in taking the order then when we did order the soup i choose was sold out but was still showing on the spe ials board. The food was served with no cutlery and no advice as to where to get this from, no offer of condiments which I had to locate myself along with cutlery. The food portions where quite small for the price. This would not be somewhere i would go again

7 of us visited the Dome between 12 to 110pm today (Friday), Deluxe Hot Chocolates were off due to machine broken down (fair enough things do breakdown), it took 35 minutes for all the orders to arrive, along the way, we had 3 x wrong orders arrive at our table and 1 x wrong order arrive at the table beside us. We also tried to visit on Monday, but it now appears to now no longer open on Mondays? so we took our trade on Monday to a nearby rival. Also concerning how many tables they had empty at lunchtime today, it never used to be like this, you would have to tour the Dome to find a free table and soap dispenser was empty in Gents toilet. Understand new owners took over 3 months ago, so by now they should be well on top of any transfer of business teething issues. They really need to up their game, otherwise they are going to hand their trade on a plate to the likes of multi chain Whetherspoon's who have recently arrived in Blairgowrie. We will visit again in the hope things will improve as our family have been loyal customers to the Dome for years.

Step back in time in The Dome restaurant. It is quaint and atmospheric, and both the food and service are very good. It is also reasonably priced, especially the childrens menus.

The Dome is a very quaint cafe which serves delicious home cooked food. There is also a great selection of cakes and scones. Great for a light lunch or coffee and cake. A must visit if visiting Blairgowrie.

Used the quirky pews so decided to eat breakfast here. Coffee hot and fresh, breakfast too. Good selection of cakes and baking. Friendly staff nice atmosphere. Thanks for a lovely meal.

Very friendly and prompt service when we visited for light lunches, good choice of food and cakes, would return in the future.

A unique building with period features .A delightful place to stop in for a coffee. Reasonable prices and friendly welcome. New owner so watch out for interesting developments.

Popped in here whilst visiting Blairgowrie, had scones, butter, jam with Tea for two for less than six pounds. Scones were lovely, staff very friendly, will certainly return, well done.

Went in for a quick soup and sandwich lunch but service was very slow, soup was none too hot and ham sandwich was very basic. This was in a transition period between owners so hopefully the new owners will get things sorted out as this lovely old institution is a part of Blairgowrie's history.

Excellent service from happy staff. Tasty, home made food. Lovely atmosphere! Really made me fell welcome!I'll be back!

Pleasant enough surroundings. Reasonably priced. Coffee was ok. Cake was lovely. Huge selection to choose from. Busy!

We were parked in the street right beside the entrance to this Famous Old Cafe in Blair, so I urged ny wife and grand-daughter in that I might, once again, inspect this phenomenal small bit of architectural curiosity. However, we went further and sat down for a meal as the menu looked inviting and the place was clean and tidy. I had quiche, chips and beans, the wife had something with a salad and our lovely young girl had macaroni and cheese. All very good, substantial, peasant food, well served and plated ...and pleasantly priced.And the DOME itself, I hasten to add, is a thing of beauty, of times gone by, never to return.To quote The Great, A. E. Housman, it is one of... "Those happy highways where I went, and cannot come again."

Popped in here to escape the rain whilst in Blairgowrie with my wife.Very pleasantly surprised by the range of foods on offer and reasonable prices.We opted for the Hot Chocolate Steamer - with cinnamon and cream, a yoghurt and cranberry traybake and gluten free chocolate brownie. We enjoyed it all.Extensive menu with soups, sandwiches/rolls and hot meals as well. The café has 2 sections - part at the front with wooden pew-style seating and the Dome further back with a range of chairs and a couple of sofas.Would definitely be worth a return trip for lunch.

This favourite café has operated since 1903 and the original Italian owners added the Dome in the 1920 s The layout is booths for four in front and tables for four in the back under the Dome.Present owners are Scottish and offer a full range of meals and snacks at reasonable prices.The scones cherry or fruit are fresh every day.There is a step down into the gents toilet which is a little cramped

We went to Blairgowrie specially to pick up a Xmas present , we decided to have a look through shops ,we popped in to the dome for a coffee and a lovely doughnut which was delicious , while we were there the proprietor came round with a basket of shortbread and offered everyone a piece which was a lovely gesture , very nice place and will definitely go back was very reasonable to .

Nice old fashioned style cafe, booth seating which is quite cramped but very unique, food was excellent and service good with friendly staff, would certainly come back

This is my favourite stop for a huge lunch of Macaroni and Cheese which can be served with salad or chips and salad. I have to say they also offer a small portion. Quaint interior with a small italian cafe feel..definitely worth it cost wise.

They serve food which is basic but tastes alright. Nothing special but functional none the less. Sit in front as back is a bit dingy.

Called in for tea and shortbread. A lovely pot with two quality tea bags and a pot of hot water. Good slice of home baked shortbread to accompany. Very good and inexpensive.

We took my daughter and she loves this place, which is nice as I loved it as a child too. We used to always visit Blair on holiday and I used to love the food here. Glad to see it hasn't changed. The chips are still to me better than a chippy! My daughter loved her kids pizza, chips and beans, and I could have a soup and a roll. Coffee is good too and the home made cakes and tray bakes are superb. Best place to go in town,. lovely old building too with all the original features. Sit in the old booths if you can!

we stopped here for coffee and cake and it was lovely. The cake was delicious and the hot chocolate was just right. Hope to be back.

Stopped off for breakfast on our way home from our break, lovely little restaurant really friendly staff, tasty food and easy parking

This is a great cafe. We visit on occasion for lunch as a family. Delicious food, large portions and a good price. Only negatives are no wifi and you can't pay by card. Still a nice place to eat though with friendly staff.

This well established formerly Italian café is right in the middle of Blair but there is plenty parking nearby if not right outside.Your met with a friendly welcome and there is the usual lunch fayre plus home baking.There are booths at the front and a domned extension through the back which is our favourite

A quick stop during a short lunch break from work.Service is quick, the gentleman who was working at the counter was lovely and makes a great coffee.The soup was fantastic and served with a tasty roll (choice of white or whole grain).Definitley will go back.

Lovely little cafe, friendly staff, nice cakes and lovely decor. Good place if you are looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful for the family

Been here a few times now.Ordered baked potatoes and coleslaw and baked potatoes with cheese and beans.Potatoes a bit black underneath. Better quality of cheese would improve flavour as cheese was mild and tasteless.Portion size was fine with side salad.£5.50 per potato - maybe a bit steep for what it is. Staff pleasant enough.

Very unclean and whoever does the baking needs to stop as the cant. Possibly the worst scone I have ever tasted.

Came here for lunch, 3 adults and 3 kids. Good menu, large portions and very good kids menu, also had toys, books etc for childrens to play with. Food was very good and staff were friendly.

so today i went for lunch at The Dome - walked in and saw all the unoccupied tables were dirty and full of plates/cups etc. sat down at a table which was also the same and thought to myself the waitress will clean the table once ive ordered. i ordered my food (a baked potato and a juice £7.10!!) with a guy called stuart at the till. the woman in front of me also asked for her table to be cleared. he had a slight moan at her for asking! the food came very prompt about 5 minutes later and the waitress put my food on top of the already dirty plates!! i couldnt believe it. she came up to me and said "baked potato!" dumped it and left.... not is there anything i can get you, ill come back and clear the table, clean it?? nothing!! i am still in shock! i will never be back the place is disgusting and so dirty, the skirting boards beside my table are so dirty. i wouldnt even give this place a 1 star!

Nice to find a place where they seem to make every thing on the premises. Pretty good value as well.

Another great lunch. Macaroni is a speciality and always good and a choice of 3 portion sizes leaving room for one of the lovely cakes.
