Visited for dinner. Fantastic place. Lovely staff too. Went for the beef blade and it was delicious. Only critique - slightly small portion.

The Riverside feels like a treat. The atmosphere feels friendly and relaxed and welcoming to all. At one table there was a woman breast feeding the other a group of university professors discussing their business. The staff were attentive but did not crowd you which is always a bonus. The food- you have various menus- regular, gluten free vegetarian and vegan all with dishes I wanted to sample. The food came out and was not too long and of a wait and came out some of tbe best food I have eaten in a while. My partner and I are already discussing a return visit!

Went for lunch on my husband's birthday. Staff were friendly, atmosphere was great and a good selection of dishes on the menu. We had two main courses, two deserts and coffees for just over £60 which was very good value. We couldn't fault our food, everything was delicious, piping hot, good sized portions and very well presented. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Great place to stop and have lunch at! Very cozy and welcoming atmosphere to eat here while exploring the town. Soup of the Day was fabulous as well along with the Soup deal they have. I would recommend coming here! We ordered the steak burger, fish finger sandwich, Soup of the Day (Mushroom Soup), and two starter dishes to try.

Came here on a lovely day and didn't have the best experience. I ordered a chocolate fudge milkshake which was £4 and they gave me a bottle of chocolate milk.... (not a milkshake). The pizza was OK but it was clearly a premade bought base with added toppings... for £15. I don't think the quality here justifies the money if I'm honest, but if you're happy to pay it to be in the location, then fair enough. Into the bargain I felt the server was quite rude, not just to us but to others, I think she may have even been the supervisor. I'm not sure if I'd be back so can't recommend. Lovely atmosphere on the wee deck outside though

I used to love this place, but it has declined recently. During a quiet visit, it took 50 minutes for my food to arrive. The portion sizes were noticeably smaller (I got a whopping 8 chips with my meal). This is surprising given that most dishes are now £3-5 more expensive than before. I understand inflation, but upping the prices and decreasing portions is a joke.

A rather unfriendly welcome from the female manager, who gave us incorrect information about the wines, and who then sat chatting with other staff members. Piped music annoyingly loud.

My husband and I went there for coffee and cake without a reservation. It seems like people were not pleased, I assume it gets busy, but we got a table for 1 hour. We left before that. Coffee was good, cakes were okay: good flavor, but too sweet to enjoy their flavors. They do have savory meals, but we didn’t have time for a full meal.

So visited here this week. Beautiful warm, sunny day. Sat outside on the decking, right by the river. Birds chirping. The sound of water gently flowing over pebbles. Halcyon days. Smooth cafe latte till my friend arrived - lovely - with a glass of chilled water - cucumber in it. Refreshing. Then I just fancied some chips with aioli - a large piping hot bowl of chips arrived. Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Too many. Enough for two I would say. Delicious. Lovely snack/food, lovely coffee, lovely service, lovely ambience, lovely location. Oh and immaculate toilets! Well worth a visit! Thank you. 👏👏👏👏👏

Came here from Edinburgh for the day - shocked at the price of the food so rather than have mains we opted for sandwiches, which were fine but far from amazing. Appreciate it's one of the only decent venues in town but geezo. Servers and folk inside were lovely so can't fault that part. You know it's pricey when folk from the capital are wincing.

Staff are lovely but the place lacks atmosphere and food was awful. You are pleasantly greeted at the door and sat down and served with friendly smiling staff. You sit down and the place is quite literally warm, possibly to cater to their heavy presence of elderly customers and even ignoring the chatter I couldn't hear any music if it was playing. Keep in mind I grew up on a farm where I ate and still do eat basically anything I can get. I ordered a soup of the day which was prepared scorching hot and was like eating pure liquid ginger I then ate the shrimp linguine. The sauce was presumably straight out of a can as my dry, overcooked linguine sat in a pool of oil, covered in dry, flavorless 'tomato' sauce of some sort, with scorching hot shrimp which will give you a scare if you don't look out for it. The cocktail of the month was OK just not my thing and the water came with a cucumber which again I'd rather a lemon but that's just small preference stuff. I won't be coming back but the place seems successful so I hope you enjoy your visit a lot more than I did. Thanks again for the wonderful staff being so helpful!

I'm amending this review because our lunch there today was so disappointing. 2 stars because its dog friendly, but the food has gone seriously downhill. Took my elderly mum there for lunch -hers was ruined because the 'sandwich' she ordered was a rock hard ciabatta roll. Awful, avoid the sandwiches unless you have seriously strong teeth!! Its obviously a cost saving measure-nearly £15 for a rock hard ciabatta with a meagre amount of beef bits in it plus a few chips. The coffee we ordered afterwards was bitter and tasteless. I certainly wont be recommending this place ever again. What has happened to it?

We stumbled across this gem while looking for somewhere to eat in Dunblane. We weren't too sure but were hungry by this point so we stepped in. SO GLAD WE DID!!! The service from when you step in is fantastic. You are seen to straight away despite it being busy. Your menu is quickly given to you and your drinks are brought over nearly instantly. The selection is great, with a standard menu, a specials, a vegetarian menu and a gluten free menu. The actual food is amazing! The burger is to die for, it tastes phenomenal. I had the blue cheese steak burger and I could have eaten two. Its so tasty and moreish, thr ingredients were perfectly balanced and the burgers were fantastic with nothing wrong. I wish I could eat these everyday, I've never had a burger that tasted so good. The deserts were just as good. Creme brullie was perfect. The topping was perfect and the shortbread was a nice addition. The portion was large and really filling. If you are in Dunblane or anywhere nearby you have to try this fantastic gem or you are missing out!

The Golden Larches is an exceptional business known for its outstanding hospitality and attention to detail. The team consistently goes above and beyond to create amazing experiences for their customers, and their professionalism is second to none. While it’s disappointing that some individuals may disregard their clearly stated policies—such as the bathrooms being reserved for customers—the owners handle these situations with admirable respect and grace. Their dedication to protecting their staff and business is commendable, and it only enhances the already welcoming atmosphere of this remarkable establishment.

Today me and my four friends had dinner at Linden Inn, the food was really good but unfortunately the service was awful. We were overcharged for drinks, politely asked to recalculate which was done. The second bill was made with an extra fillet steak added to it which we didn't notice as everyone calculated their share and we paid, left a tip too. Then one of the waitresses approached us and said we didn't pay enough, asked to pay an extra £26. We then looked into it and noticed their mistake. The waitresses were very obviously annoyed that we pointed the mistake out, there was no apology. They gave us out tips back by basically dumping it on the table and walked away!! When I said it wasn't very nice, I got "mistakes happen my lovely". This was said in a non friendly tone, the waitresses kept looking at each other as if we were wrong or something. They never smiled, were not polite. We left very disappointed and offended by such rude treatment.
