The Paper Boat on Loch Tay in Perth & Kinross

Lovely location, good service and great food. We had bacon rolls, an egg roll, followed by scones & cakes, all were excellent. Will definitely be back on our next visit to the area.

Yes, as mentioned in other reviews the scones really are first class. It’s a very nice little establishment and there were no issues with bad service. I’d happily return.

Stopped for coffee / tea and cake. Scones were good and views over Loch Tay were beautiful. Good for a stop and break with family.

Tucked away in the corner of the loch. Some seating inside, outside and blankets on the edge of the loch - excellent views. Minimal menu but excellent quality. Both cheese and fruit scones amazing. Bacon roll excellent too. Hot and cold drink choices are good too.

What a find. The Paperboat is a beautiful cafe situated on Loch Tay. We visited on a gorgeous summers day and sat outside on the balcony. The cheese scones were the best i have ever tasted and i have eaten a lot of them!! The menu is simple but everthing on there is done to a high standard. Can't wait to return on our next visit.

Arrived at 10:30. There was an “event” on (a table full of folk who’d just done a yoga class) and were told we couldn’t get food until 11. Fine, ordered some coffee and waited. At 11:00 we were told that because of the “event” the only good available was a bacon and egg roll. Perfect for a vegetarian… or a cake out the cabinet. Here we are at 11:30 about to leave watching food from the actual menu being brought out to people. They’re probably wondering why it’s nearly mid day and their tip jar is empty… won’t be back.

This gem of a place is sat right on the edge of the loch so the setting is idyllic. But the cake I ate there was sublime. One of the gluten free choices was a white chocolate rocky road and this is what I ordered. It was HUGE ( as were the other (gf & non-gf) cakes - the scones were almost the size of dinner plates). Back to my rocky road though. It was the best cake I have eaten EVER!! It’s worth the journey for that cake alone. Drinks choices were excellent too and the staff were polite and very helpful. Well worth a visit.

Great food, great coffee, great location. We stopped on a warm sunny day and got a table on the decking overlooking the loch. We ordered the dhal, pork & apple sausage roll, and cheese scone, all of which were excellent, and flat whites which were really tasty (though not *quite* as hot as one of our group would have liked). We loved it, and will be back.

Short-staffed due to illness which was totally out of their control however you could still welcome your guests in a friendly manner. Guy behind counter was stressed and bordering on rude and abrupt! Great coffee. Scone and cinnamon bun lovely. White hot chocolate tasted like hot milk!! Not even drinkable! The decor has changed and table arrangement different from last time and nit in a good way...inside no longer looks like the pictures. If you get the chance, sit outside. Views are stunning!

Delicious coffee and cakes! The cinnamon buns are 10/10. Lovely lookout over the Loch so makes for a lovely setting to enjoy a cappuccino. Highly recommend

We visited here several times June 2019 and were always impressed by the friendliness of the staff and quality of the small menu. With outside tables with amazing Loch Tay views right by the waterside if weather permits!

Came along Wednesday afternoon. They didn't have any coffee at 1pm and I found the staff cold and abrupt, particularly a blonde member of staff. Won't be back.

We had a great time here- amazing location, delicious food and drink and wonderful weather! We were slightly let down by what we considered to be a rude member of staff but we can’t wait to return here soon! Thank you.

The Paper Boat is in a stunning location with a lovely deck and outside seating space on the side of Loch Tay which is idyllic when the weather is clement. Good coffee and interesting and tasty cakes. Have been disappointed several times recently to plan visits and find the cafe closed an hour or more before times advertised online. Would recommend the cafe posts updated closing times on its social media pages on the day if this happens to save people making wasted trips - it’s easy to do.

Lovely location on the loch side with outdoor seating. Food was delicious and staff very friendly and helpful - brought everything to our table for us. Lots of homemade treats drinks served in compostable cups.

Lovely setting on the edge of the loch and the picnic tables are ideal for families but the interior is lovely too. Kids loved the ice creams - nice choice of flavours (lemon cheesecake for me). Having visited on Monday I had thought it was...

Stopped for a quick coffee and cake mid-journey across the country. A nice looking place and great selection of cakes, which were nice. Unfortunately we ended up pouring most of the coffee down the drain - overheated lattes with no froth whatsoever and horrid aftertaste....

Hired 4 E bikes for the day, they were very helpful, gave full instructions and suggested routes and maps, very enjoyable day was had exploring Glen Lyon

Lovely view over Loch Tay. Everyone seemed to be happy with their tea and sandwiches, but me and the kids had hot chocolate which was too hot and very weak.

Extremely pleasant vist to the Paper Boat nice staff and quality product ,we hope to return sometime soon. well situated on the banks of Loch Tay plenty of space and seats in a excellent location for first class views of the Loch and surrounding countryside,...

A great wee cafe for cake and coffee - the sandwiches looked tasty too. Limited seating inside but about a dozen tables outdoors looking on to Loch Tay. Dog friendly too!

My wife and I sat on the deck and enjoyed the vies and the vibe at this great little coffee shop. The coffee was excellent. My wife enjoyed an unusual cinnamon cake/bun. And I loved the spectacular cheese scone which was served with a chunky...

Was waiting for it to open. Was shout at by the owner to not smoke outside. Really rude. I apologise and he was still rude and shouting. I always carry an ashtray and take rubbish with me. Was really shocked and upset as everywhere else...

Stopped off for a coffee and cake, both were delicious. The place does need a good clean! Great otherwise

Fabulous little cafe surrounded by plants, inside and outside seating on edge of loch. Friendly staff and lovely food. Well worth a stop.

This is a restaurant with a difference. It's accessible for wheelchair users and disabled people. When you get inside it's like being in a tropical garden, there are loads of plants everywhere and they are for sale too. The food is delicious and food allergies...

Popped in for lunch today. Food and coffees were great and great selection of cakes. Cafe well laid out for social distancing. Setting is amazing right on the loch.

Really good experience here after a disappointing start in another facility. We did stand at the entrance for a few minutes while staff walked past (assuming it was not their role to welcome people) but it would've been nice a simple hello someone will be...

Great coffee in the most amazing location imaginable!! Little bit pricey but worth every penny !! The views are amazing ,friendly staff perfect !

We (4 adults and a child) tried to visit the cafe this morning! Staff didn’t appear to be organised at 10am and took it out on us. 2 adults and a child entered in front of us before we were rudely approached by a young...

This was our first time using this cafe. The staff were organised and helpful and the food was lovely. Cakes were great and the home made soup with lovely bread is recommended. Seating outside overlooking Loch Tay and some beautiful views

Freshly made chocolate brownie and coffee overlooking the marina on Loch Tay! What more could you ask for on a beautiful day. Socially distancing measures working very well here and a great array of plantation on sale. Defo pit stop here on our next visit.

Had a light lunch at the café yesterday. It is not currently possible to sit inside but thankfully the weather was gorgeous and everyone was sitting outside looking onto Loch Tay. It was early afternoon and there wasn't much left to it as they had been really busy but what we had was lovely and fresh. I really appreciated the fact that everything they sell can be either eaten, recycled or composted! Great role model for other businesses.Well done Paper Boat!

Popped in for tea and a cake on a lovely sunny afternoon. Social distancing measures were clearly marked so felt very comfortable going in. The staff were lovely and the cakes were delicious!

Popped in for lunch when visiting Kenmore after first having been to the cafe last year. The Covid measures in place were very reassuring. We both enjoyed our toasted focaccia sandwiches and lattes although we thought that it was a bit pricey.

Great selection of food and sandwiches; all vegetarian. Our group had two soups - both delicious- with a variety of focaccia. I had the humous box; very tasty and great value. There is a great selection of plants for sale too!

Fab place to stop for lunch, delicious cakes and coffee. Spacious area outside that you can sit and enjoy the view which tucking into your food.

What a find! The Paper Boat is tucked away on the shores of Loch Tay with outstanding views from the back terrace, blink and you might miss it! Outside seating only at the minute, we’ve been 3 times this week & have yet to secure a table to perch on as it does get busy, however plenty of grass to sit on , this doesn’t deter from the view or fabulous food, best carrot cake I have ever tasted! We’ve had focaccia, chocolate flapjack, empire biscuits, cappuccino , coffee & walnut cake, I could go on. It’s all baked fresh by the lovely staff, try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!

Ice cream was spot on and the coffee was outstanding. Staff very friendly and great location with views across the Loch...

This little cafe by the side has been renovated since we were here two years ago but still has the rear terrace looking out over the water which is beautiful in any weather. They have a variety of food including homemade cakes, savoury items and lots of drinks. Inside as well there is a sale of eco friendly plants in non plastic pots too. Lovely plants with a lot of choice.

Lovely clean cafe offering hot/cold drinks, sandwiches, snacks and some seriously tempting cakes - I was unable to resist a cinnamon bun. My son loved the blackcurrent flavour ice cream with the fudge stick. They also offered an assortment of eco-friendly plants growing in unique compost (no plastic) pots. Due to Covid it is obvious the cafe has had to alter their practices so there is no indoor seating but it was a lovely day and they do offer a comfort break and lots of outdoor seating beside lovely Loch Tay. Would definitely go back when in Kenmore again.

Excellent visit to the paper boat during our stay A very green and environmental friendly cafe Wonderful cakes and sandwiches Seating effected via recent Covid but no ones fault Professional in its approach Friendly super staff

Only had couple of drinks here but would recommend a stop here, lovely lake outlook from the rear over Loch Tay. Kenmore is s lovely stopping off spot!

My husband and I popped in on a miserable day for a coffee.Note stating just a limited service as they were going to be busy at the weekend. I thought it was due to Covid. When I asked they said the sun was going to be out so they were having a quiet day today. So tough for folk going in on a crap day.Couldnt smoke outside either. Anything but accommodating and plants on sale were the usual rip off prices for tourists

Best view you will ever have from a cafe!! Stunning view sitting outside looking over the Tay. having a lovely coffee and fresh cake. It is somewhere you must visit if in Kenmore.

Love this place. Great coffee and left with four plants. We sat outside and watched the world pass by. Brilliant.

Loved this place. The food was super fresh and really great. The scones were especially amazing. Best cappuccino I’ve ever had. The café itself has a lovely vibe and views are beautiful. Staff made a great job of remembering our coffee orders from day to day.Kid friendly.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Took my parents and grandparents, who are now in their 90’s, for lunch over the February long weekend. They both loved it. The welcome is always very friendly, the setting is relaxed and the food is superb. My kids also love the ice cream during the Summer months.....!

Super location, but too wet and windy for us to take advantage of the outdoor seating. Fab little cafe with an interesting selection of dishes. Great quality food - fish finger sandwich was a monster with two massive doorstops of white bread! Dog friendly.

One of the most impressive things about this cafe is the view of Loch Tay from their windows.The view itself is worth the stop.The food was good and the interior was comfortable.

Popped in for hot chocolate before going on boat cruise. So helpful and friendly as they explained only had small takeaway cup, but we could take 2x of their mugs. Rather than risk breakage we took the takeaways.After we came back freezing from the boat we thought we would have some soup. Their veggie soup was the best I’ve had with great home baked bread.Also had some of their spicy carrot cake was also good.Have no hesitation n recommending this place - staff were great although run off their feet as busy.

This place was so much great place it really had a great vibe in it a perfect place for photography and to enjoy the nature they really had a great option in veg which made our day they also had enough parking n safaris also even we really enjoyed every single minute there so great coffee with the 1 degree temperature was prefect blend Overall i would rate the service as 4 Food 5 View 5 Must go once if visiting that side

We visited on a cold Saturday afternoon, indulging in hot chocolate, banana bread and carrot cake. Everything was perfect so we visited again for breakfast the following morning. I had the avo toast with added poached egg & bacon. It was delicious! My husband had a bacon & egg sandwich. Well worth a visit. We hope to return with our kids next time. Thank you for great hospitality.

The place is fabulous, they are dog friendly, the food is delicious, staff are lovely and the views are breathtaking so we can’t ask anything else. Worth to make a stop to try it. See you soon.

Doggy friendly lovely cafe we found this morning Excellent coffee and hot chocolate, followed by outstanding home baking all in a lovely friendly atmosphere. What more can you ask for......the view is amazing too!!!

We had strolled around Kenmore and along the loch shore and came upon this place. It doesnt look much from the land side but once inside you smell the food and the warm atmosphere is great.A good choice of food/snacks and we decided on the soup of the day with cheese scone and chunky bread served with a few pieces of cheese. It was a cool day but lovely and sunny so we decided to eat outside on the balcony overlooking the lake. Well worth it for the stunning views.The food kept hot and it was very tasty. Good value.

We paid several visits here during our holiday week for brunch and lunch. Good selection of homemade cakes which were fantastic. Great location on side of Loch Tay with plenty of outdoor seating for warm sunny days

Came across this lovely cosy cafe when visiting Kenmore. So glad we did. We all had scones with tea and coffee as they had a limited menu on that day. I loved the way the food was presented as I think it makes a difference. It was so cosy and friendly and we enjoyed the ambience as well as the food.

Beautiful view and delicious home made scones. Lovely little stove keeping the room warm. A great pit stop after the Loch tour.

Visited with my mother on a Kenmore wander and it was so good we did it again the following day! Scones were some of the best we've had in the area (and I have set myself the task of eating a lot of them).

My family and I stayed for a week at Kenmore and visited this superb cafe a number of times. With polite and professional staff, excellent coffee, tea, cakes and savouries we were smitten. Then there is the pleasant, quiet beachside alongside and the views across the loch to the mountains. Try the e-bikes for a spectacular few hours there. The owners Alex and Bridget are always on hand to see visitors get the very best service.

Visited on a wet October day. A pleasant, modern, airy Loch side cafe with friendly staff and great local food and coffee. You can look out over the Loch from some tables or sit outside on a nice day.

This lovely little cafe on Loch Tay, Kenmore is cosy and clean. The staff are really friendly and the food fresh and tasty. I had scottish cheddar toastie, which was brimming with cheese. My husband had a bacon doorstop, which lived up to it's name! There is a lovely seating area outside too, with beautiful views up the loch. I believe this is a relatively new cafe, but so far they are doing a great job! I highly recommend this place.

Thoroughly enjoyed my morning/ afternoon sitting relaxing in this fabulous place. Listening to peaceful background music, excellent food, tasty vegan options. A lovely way to spend my birthday. Even sell eco friendly goods. Well worth a visit. Great choice for a relaxing birthday treat. Great location. Excellent views.

We found this lovely coffee shop by chance situated right on the banks of Loch Tay. The coffee was excellent and the staff were lovely. We will be back again.

Fantastic bacon doorstep and delicious coffee. Highly recommended. Lovely, welcoming staff. And it’s dog friendly!

A lovely little cafe. Awesome coffee, friendly staff, and a beautiful location by the side of Loch Tay.

Lovely place with views beside the small Safaris car park. Lunch of home made soup and foccacia, coffee selections and homemade cakes was perfect.

Nice place on the lakeside. Specialy on the terrace at good weather. Inside also pleasant stay. Not shure when its open.

We had coffee while waiting for our boat trip which was nearby. Coffee was excellent, plenty of selection of juices and cold drinks. I had a banana loaf which was superb. Well recommended.

Tucked away in a pretty village is this wonderful place. Stopped for a quick bite had posh toast and a slice of carrot cake. Both were of the highest quality with service to match. Recommend visiting this cafe if in Aberfeldy or Pitlochry. Well worth the effort.

Ate lunch here after renting their electrical bikes. This small cafe has a beautiful view over the water and a nice atmosphere! We had the soup of the day, which was very tasty. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Kenmore is pretty small but this place is big on quality food and friendly service.

We needed a quick bite after a trip with Loch Tay Safaris. We chose bacon butties and tea. It was too nice a day to sit inside, but the room was pleasant and airy (do not be put off by the external appearance of a large shed). There were plenty of benches, deckchairs and cushions to choose from outside .The service was friendly and prompt, and the bacon sandwich on chunky bread was perfect.

Visited after boat trip round Loch Tay nice setting lovely views of the loch. Great service, very relaxing enjoyed sitting outside 😊

I called in for coffee and one of their renowned bacon sandwiches! Absolutely delicious,and to eat it with magnificent views was a great plus!

Delicious vegan chocolate brownies and lovely views of the Loch at the tables outside. Good place for coffee and snacks if you’re waiting for a boat trip

Great clean cafe right next to Loch Tay Safari departure. Delicious Huge Bacon Sandwiches. Would be 5 stars if Juices/ drinks more reasonably priced.

Such a lovely cafe that’s serves beautiful cakes, lunches and snacks with an amazing view over Loch Tay!! Definitely worth visiting if ever around or in Kenmore! The staff are also super kind and thoughtful.

dropped in for a coffee and a sandwich, nice place to spend some time with lovely views and friendly staff

Great cafe providing high quality food and service. The sunshine yesterday certainly helped as we sat outside taking in the views. Very clean toilets!!! Fabulous beetroot cake.

Lovely atmosphere in the cafe, the food is excellent and the staff so helpful. We were lucky enough to catch some brilliant weather so had our lunch on a bench overlooking the loch - perfection!

A small modern building right by the water's edge of Loch Tay, run by young couple and their team. Great food during the day, with some unusual flavours as well as mainline snack favourites.

We went here quite a few times over our fortnight’s holiday. Lovely food, amazing location right by the loch, friendly staff, lovely decor. Highly recommended.

It's a coffee shop in a superb location, so don't expect a full meal, but what is available is yummy. We sampled cheese toastie, chicken and leek pie, coffee and walnut cake (yummy icing), empire biscuits, chocolate brownie... outside when fine, right beside the small beach and with boating activity to watch. 50 cyclists turning up without warning did cause a run on the bacon for butties but usually plenty of staff. A favourite daytime location during our fortnight holiday.

Very slow service. Waited 15 minutes after ordering, despite saying we were going on a boat trip, for two teas costing £5.20. There were only four tables of people.

We come to Kenmore once a year to watch our son compete in Rob Roy Challenge (wonderful cause check it out)

What a great place this is! Tasty food in spotlessly clean and pleasant surroundings, with fabulous views out across Loch Tay to the Crannog Centre beyond.

Lovely cafe on Loch Tay, delicious food and really friendly and attentive staff. Can’t wait to come back and try their electric bike tours!

Too many of the wee villages in this area have substandard coffee/food but Paper Boat is absolutely top notch. Great views of Loch Tay from the outside decking, coffee and cakes was fantastic and the sandwiches are absolutely amazing, we highly recommend the BLAT (bacon lettuce avocado and tomato) and even the standard bacon sandwich is massive and tasty, will be back again.

What superb venue for coffe, lunch & snacks! We had delightful service in a superb setting with views over Loch Tay. Love the fact that this gem of an area features such a high end Cafe.

Only had time cuppa as they were expecting a private function in 20 minutes when we arrived but we were made welcome neverthess and will return again

We were originally enticed in by the cakes - but decided we'd have a butty first. You're talking proper doorstep butties, here. I had the bacon sarnie (with optional fried egg) and it was immense. So much so, in fact, that none of us had room for any cake! I guess we'll just have to go back... :)

Awesome food.. Best cafe ever visit. price of everything is resonable and environment is good. sound and ever thing is upto marks best place for visit. Five stars and the manager is awesome too.

Worth a visit for the cake and great coffee. The views are stunning and the staff charming and friendly

Have to say this was my second visit here and the reason I didn't give it a higher rating was because the americano coffee was so strong it was virtually undrinkable.

We popped in after the loch boat trip and wow what a great little place, the food choice was great and the atmosphere superb, customer service was friendly and welcoming ,went back a couple of times and would go again

Mooi uitzicht over Loch Tay. Relaxte sfeer en goede koffie. Alles ziet er goed verzorgd uit. Fijn dat er ook een toilet aanwezig was.

Friendly and welcoming new cafe in Kenmore. Lovely cakes, and very good coffee. Not a nice enough day to be sitting outside, but I expect the verandah area will be well used when the sun is out. Prices on a par with other tourist areas.

New incarnation of lochside cafe, with outside seating. Fresh approach with range of cakes, drinks and lunch dishes. Close to marina, boat hire stations with competition. Large coffee and delisous cake while sitting outside in sunshine.On Bank holiday didn't open until 10am so missed some custom. Great location, nice modern decor and attention to service, toilets also available. Negative point was when I went to pay the server made no mention of the cost nor counted back change - I think this is important especially with no prices displayed and many overseas visitors.
