The best restaurants in Strathmore Perth & Kinross Central Scotland

Sorry folks but the meal we had last night was really poor. My dad lives locally and we were visiting so I rang up a few days before and booked a table for dinner. On arrival, the restaurant was closed and we were directed to a table in the far corner of the bar. Soon after we arrived a band started setting up just in front of us. Our main courses were not very nice. I had the mushroom risotto. There was far too much of it rice wise, not many mushrooms and it didn't taste of anything. I then had the panacotta. Not like any panacotta I have ever had. When I phoned to book, they should have told me that thr restaurant wasn't open and offered me the bar...and told me there was a and playing. The band were pretty goof but it was impossible for us to speak while having dinner as it was so loud. All in all, not a great experience. Wouldn't go back. Sorry.

We went for lunch on Wednesday and the food was good. The lady serving us was very good, although new to the job. She was polite and helpful. I'm so glad we arrived when we did. As it got busier and busier and the poor lady was struggling to cope. Another lady came to help but was taking the wrong orders to tables. Someone's club sandwiches sat on the bar for 5 minutes before being taken to them. At one point, a man came out of the back of the house, took one look, and disappeared. Obviously, he wasn't going to get himself involved in the shambles. We heard people commenting, and one person mentioned Faulty Towers. I did feel sorry for the first lady who was trying her best. We would have stayed for a pudding, but as we were never offered, we went elsewhere. Eventually, a third person got involved. Come on, get your act together. You are about to go into your festive season . I'm not sure that I will be back in a hurry. Did remark to the receptionist on the way out, but I think it probably fell on deaf ears.

Nice location in the countryside overlooking Scone and Perthshire hills. Plenty of parking and if weather nice there are tables outside to sit. Eolas itself is through Murrayshall with a lovely view outside. A long restaurant with a number of dining tables reasonably spread out. There were 4 servers active when we were there. So we were well looked after, served promptly with drinks, orders taken and after a short wait the starters arrived. The food was very good, we had 3 courses and we were full at the end. We had a voucher and coffee was included, although originally the bill included them, but it was quickly sorted out. We enjoyed the experience and will return for hogmanay.

A really nice meal with very friendly and helpful staff. We got a discount as we were staying at the neighbouring camping/ caravanning site. Good value.

Not a pub anymore sold and being turned into flats

Disappointing coffee and scone. Went in for a wee break en route further south. Coffee was bitter and watery. Scone edible but not the freshest.
