The best restaurants in Perth & Kinross Central Scotland

First visit with many more to come - we turned up late for our booking but were made to feel more than welcome met with a friendly accommodating owner who advised he had kept the kitchen staff on a little longer 🤝. Accessible entrance and toilets in an older building demonstrated the effort to be all exclusive - thank you guys . Wonderful food - friendly atmosphere - lovely decor - clean and tidy - very reasonable prices - great choice - first class - great staff . Tried to tip the kitchen staff thru card but it’s cash only which is understandable - so please bring some along as they are extremely nice and efficient - this is shared out monthly. Can see why you are busy 👍 so book in advance possibly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just a very good and consistent quality of Indian food served…. Try a few dishes but I reckon one of the best Pathia dishes I’ve ever eaten.

Had this place pop up on trip advisor came highly recommended, and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious (we had toasted ciabattas and their freshly made soup of the day) Happy staff, happy atmosphere, happy customers ☺️

Really good food, friendly owners i that bar on the edge of the world (well, almost ;) I highly recommend!

Brilliant food and friendly helpful staff. Great value for money and desserts amazing. Have been several times and always a warm welcome. Would highly recommend but remember to book in advance

I discovered the wonderful Tea Garden at Comrie Croft when out for a drive. Easy parking. Very friendly staff. Beautifully presented, delicious cakes and bakes. Extremely clean and tidy. Lovely, lovely coffee. Great to be able to sit inside or out. The staff are wonderful with nice chat and local information. Will definitely return and can recommend highly to everyone.

Sensational food, wines, service and ambience. The roast chicken with porcini sauce and mash is a must try. The mash is just out of this world. Everything we had was incredible, generous portions, relaxed but efficient service. Can’t recommend enough, we will be back. I strongly recommend booking as we’ve tried to get in a couple of times before to no avail.

Amazing place tucked away in a small st in Perth friendly staff and brilliant coffee and wonder cakes . Brilliant bakery

A cosy tea room with friendly hosts and excellent scones! Highly recommend. Scones were delicious, with cream and jam, and tea is served in nice china teapots and cups. Would suggest booking ahead as very busy, which is a testament to how great it is.

Place is amazing. Matilda, Tom and their team are fantastic, right from arrival to departure. The food was very special, lots of surprising twists and different takes on familiar things. Cocktails were lovely, the area is beautiful. Nothing to complain about. We have already booked our return visit.

Best burger in town!!!! Highly recommend this cafe for lunch. I've come here previously for cake coffee and breakfast, which have always been amazing but we have just had our minds blown with panni is and burgers!!!! 5 star service too. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We were lucky enough to be able to book for New Year’s Eve lunch, and what a superb experience. The setting is magical, the food excellent and the staff excellent. Already looking forward to when I can return.

What an amazing place, the owners Scott and Steph supported by Katie gave us an amazing experience from start to finish. We were invited into cosy and relaxed lounge area to take as much time as we liked before dinner with every drink you can imagine. We were blessed with an appearance of stags and deer outside that freely roam the estate. When we decided to move into the restaurant Steph the chefs cooking - wow !!!!!- every chosen and surprise course was incredible. We’ve eaten out a lot but nothing compared to the quality of the cooking here - it all worked so well. Their thoughtfulness and inclusivity when it came to my wife’s gluten free alternatives was the best we’ve experienced where every course, even some to nibbles had a gluten free option. Throughout the evening Katie and Scott were amazingly attentive, and Scott also gave his time to educate and allow us to try some of the amazing collection of whiskeys. Blown away by the whole experience and thank you so much. There’s a station just outside this remote restaurant and the thought of taking a sleeper up for a few days is one we’ve started looking into already.

12th January was my wife's birthday, so I searched out somewhere I thought might be "special", using Tripadvisor reviews. Cairn Lodge seemed the place, but turned out to be something different from all the glowing reviews. But let me be fair. There were some good points. The ambience of the Garden Restaurant was very pleasant, and the staff were very attentive. But the food has a serious problem. We decided on 2 courses and 3 of us chose the belly pork. We all knew that belly potk is usually slow roasted and comes with crisp crackling and soft, tender, melt in your mouth meat. We were sadly disappointed. My wife had one mouthful and left the rest of the pork. Instead of meeting our expectations, the belly pork servings more closely answered the descriptions of Scotland's number 1 catering wholesaler, Brakes, who in their online belly pork advert to the trade, say, "Once reheated by either boiling or microwaving in the bag from frozen, remove and finish under the grill to brown the top as desired and serve..." The pork showed no sign of being roasted and then sliced on site. All the pieces were identical, suggesting factory production. All were equally tough. The pieces of carrot and parsnip , and the roast potatoes, were tasty enough, but the near incinerated Yorkshire puddings needed to have been "reheated" for several minutes less. Presumably they came from the same stable as the pork. Around the dining room, everyone seemed to have the same bought-in offerings, all treated in the same way. I have several observations. We are all used to this sort of food in the cheap fast-food places attached to Travelodges and the like, but Cairn Lodge presents itself as some special. Instead, you offer second-rate food at inflated prices. The meal for 4, with no wine, cost just under £160. I feel there is a certain dishonesty in what you are offering. Over-priced and second rate. Secondly, I am very disappointed that you have apparently weaned your clientele on to this standard of food, and they actually believe it is a good standard.. I come from a background as a writer for one of the major travel companies, and I can tell you that your food is not of the quality customers are led to believe. It is second-rate, and does not belong to an hotel which promotes itself as giving quality. Clearly we will not be back.

Popped in today for lunch. Not knowing Creiff we were not sure where to choose, but the temporary traffic lights stopped us in front of here, and the deal was done. Lovely bright room cosy atmosphere and superb food. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Would definitely return if back in the area.
