The Restaurant at Old Churches House in Stirling

The restaurant is one we have visited reasonably often as it is local, friendly and has a lovely view. The menu has enough choice and is tasty enough. However on our last visit we were given an arrival time of 7.45 pm but when we sat down we were almost immediately asked for our orders with no time to read the menu or the wine list. We really didn't linger over studying the menu but she obviously wanted to get the order into the kitchen as fast as she could - 3 times she pressed us and it did feel very hurried. Study the wine list? No time .... opt for the house white because there wasn't time to look for anything else. I do understand that kitchens need to finish up but then perhaps make the last booking a little earlier to accommodate this?

very nice but quite expensive for the amount you receive. friendly staff and very attentive. nice surroundings

What a meal, my wife and mother in law are both coeliacs. Most of the menu was gluten free or adaptable. They had fantastic fish and chips. It was so good, followed by a crumble with roast coconut and maple crumble. It was to die for. Chef certainly knows what he is doing. The staff were very friendly and attentive, the owners were also on hand and invested in ensuring you have a great experience here. First class!!

Went for afternoon tea a couple of weeks ago using a Groupon voucher. This has to be the oddest afternoon tea I've ever had-and not in a good way. Afternoon tea started with a tray with a couple of meat pies, sausage rolls and some sandwiches which looked like they had come from a supermarket and simply cut into quarters. Oh, and there was a small cup of soup (actually quite nice, but for afternoon tea??) After this a small tray of ‘cakes’ arrived. This comprised 2 scones, squirty cream, jam in prepackaged individual sachets (as you would might see in a budget breakfast buffet) together with a couple of squares of flapjack/millionaires shortcake-again looked like they came straight from a packet. The website says it charges £28 for two people for afternoon tea. Frankly if I had paid £28 for what we had I’d have felt pretty ripped off. With a Groupon voucher it was just about acceptable. Not recommended though if this really is the usual standard of afternoon tea-and certainly not one for a special occasion. On the positive side-the setting is lovely; overlooking the cathedral, and the staff are charming, helpful and friendly.

Visited for some lunch the venue is near the Cathedral so easy to locate. Parking is nearby, but it might be different in mid summer. The menu was presented and the was a limited choice for the lunch menu, but it was adequate. Drinks were organised and the starter arrive quite quickly. These were flavourable and well presented. The mains were there quickly served the portions were well presented, but the fish was a battered finger with some mash and the other was a mushroom stroganof in large bowl with round of rice. The dishes were in themselves tasted fine. One of use finished quite quickly and the other too a lot of time. I would go back but perhaps it would be at night perhaps.

Lovely brasserie, great staff and atmosphere. We called in as they were on gourmet society list, this is an error. However, I am not surprised the food is excellent value without discount. We had Cullen skink, haddock croquette as startes and both had a very generous venison portion . Wished we lived nearer I think we would be there every week.. too full for dessert.

We wilden wat kleins eten, en ons oog viel op een gerechtje met verschillende varkensvlees gerechten (naam ben ik kwijt). Vooral het buikspek stond centraal. Erg lekker. Ook de 'bitterbal' was lekker. Het restaurant bevindt zich op de eerste verdieping.

Eaten here several times and always enjoyed my meal. Pleasant service and you are very relaxed. Not too noisy with nice selection of meals. Good view of Cathedral through the windows adds to relaxed atmosphere.

Best afternoon tea I've had. Sandwiches were delicious - lovely bread with substantial and tasty fillings, Cakes, scones and coffee excellent. The member of staff who served us could not have been more helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back again.

We are regulars here: the service is excellent (the staff can't do enough) as is the food. The ambience is classy and relaxed and the outdoor tables are great in the summer sunshine. Highly recommended.

Lovely ambience and the waiting staff can't do enough. Food is always good and the ambience is lovely with views out to the cathedral.

One of the worst meals we've ever had the misfortune to sit down to. See my full review under the hotel, didn't realise there was a separate entry.

The brasserie is cosy, with a mixture of booths and tables. It has a limited menu but choice is good and varied. Friendly service and food was very good

The service was excellent.Food was fantastic.Resturant is a very cosy atmosphere.staff are very friendly.And what topped it for my family and I was when the chef took time to come and ask us how we enjoyed our meal.i will most certainly return with my family.

i had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch with an old friend on Saturday, food was very good in particular the battered haddock was excellent and the presentation was superb. The service was excellent. Id happily recommend this place to anyone looking for good reasonably price food.

We popped in for lunch and had soup and a couple of paninis. Very tasty cream of celeriac soup and nice fillings for the panini (Scottish brie and cranberry). Modern surroundings with high airy ceiling. Just opposite Dunblane cathedral.

Staying at the hotel and resisted the cooked breakfast on the first three mornings opting instead for porridge and poached eggs. Thought the last morning I would treat my self and was so pleased I did. The welcome is warm, the server very very friendly...

We had a lovely Sunday Lunch, we were just on our way back from Scotland and we called in, we have never been before, but the service and the food was excellent.

Stayed at hotel and saw menu and we were tempted. Four of us dined and ordered different choices. Two of the starters, fish cakes and haggis bhaji were cool? We sent fish cakes back and the second ones were better. The main courses were overall...

We arrived unannounced on a Friday lunchtime and were eventually shown to our tables. Everything from there seemed to take an eternity. We had aimed to have coffee but after an hour during which only 1 course was served, we elected to queue to sort...

I visited this little gem when the local golf club could not accommodate our party due to a double booking. The golf club recommended it. We had a party of 15 to be catered for on the evening. The staff where extremely nice, nothing seemed...

This restaurant was opened in 2013, but isn't well publicised outwith Dunblane. We only stumbled across it by accident at the weekend. It is part of the Old Church House hotel, but is open to non-residents and so deserves separate mention. Well worth a trip....
