The best restaurants in Strathtay Perth & Kinross Central Scotland

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.

My wife and I visited Dunkeld and Birnam after attending a wedding in the area and, after hearing about a bookshop in Birnam, wanted to make sure we visited before heading home. What a fantastic bookshop! We spent ages browing through the superb collection of books - both of us taken with the large range of art and photography books. Even though they were all second hand, the condition was immaculate. The prices for books that essentially looked new was another bonus, being far less than I initially thought. Needless to say we both left very happy with a stack of books between us. Icing on the cake was a coffee to take away (talking of cake, there was cake as well, but sadly after filling ourselves up with our hotel breakfast we couldn't bring ourselves to try any). Service was faultless as well and very pleasant. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Amazing as usual We live in the village, but travelled from Bristol after a trip away, and thought we would wait till we got home to Stanley to have a meal. As usual it didn’t disappoint, Julie and Kenny are amazing hosts, and the food was 5 star as we have come to expect. As the saying goes “There’s no place like home” thank you both

We called in after spotting this deli/cafe and we were not disappointed. I had soup and it was delicious and hearty, real Scottish potato and leek and I just loved it. My hubby had it with a ham and piccalilli sandwich, after all the years together I didn't know he liked piccalilli!!! Anyhow he just loved it. We were so full after it we couldn't fit my promised cake in. One guy said that he was sorry for leaving such a clean plate as he felt that he had inhale his meal as it was sooooo good Well done and keep up that level of service and great wholesome food

I am shocked at the lack of reviews and one terrible review for this place, not representative of this lovely cosy coffee shop. The coffees are slightly more expensive than the average price but well worth the extra money for a delicious coffee. My partner had a spiced latte with homemade syrup that was just perfect, not too sweet and gorgeous flavour. We will definitely be back for a coffee pitstop on our way to the highlands! The lady who runs it is really friendly and chatty, thank you so much for a lovely coffee experience!

Excellent cafe and shop in Dunkeld. Staff are friendly and chatty. Coffee and pistachio and pear cake were excellent. Highly recommend if you’re in Dunkeld. *Very Dog friendly*

On a cold miserable day we went for lunch. A lovely bowl of tasty soup warmed the cockles and ham and cheese panini which was filled with thick ham and lovely cheese not the usual tasteless stuff you get in some places! Lovely log burning stove raging away to keep us warm! Would recommend

Loved everything. The food, service and to top it all off the Real Betis fan who liked my top. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

I’m glad to have made this one of my stops on my way up North. I got the Pork and Apple Sausage Roll, £4.25 and the Cardamom Bun, £4. They both look incredible and it’s backed up by the flavours. The sausage roll had a light but crumbly pastry and great quality meat inside. Perhaps looking more for the apple flavour but still a great wee treat. The cardamom bun was incredible, I was transported back to Copenhagen with my first bite. These were a staple when I lived there and this one was as good as any I’ve had over there! Worth a stop in here but make sure to go early! Follow me on insta for more reviews: @Lewishere_lewisthere

Had a late lunch here. It was excellent. Very friendly and professional staff. The food was first class. I had Fish and Chips. The fish was cooked to perfection. My wife had a Chicken salad again excellent. Toilets very clean. Thoroughly recommend using this location.

Amazing Location, food and staff

Booked a table for two people, turned out was a very small table at a door opening onto the road , steady flow of customers meant continual icy blasts. Waited approximately 20 mins for the order to be taken and the a further 25 mins before the food arrived. Steak pie with chips and veg was very good , served on very large plates meaning no face to face dining. Decided not to have dessert due to the wait time, the draughtiness, the dog barking and the baby crying ( bad day when the baby was taken out and the dog stayed ) as well as a two hour limit on the table. Payment was at the bar achievable after ploughing through the masses. Seemed to be only 2 staff serving . Overall really nice food at a fair price served in unfortunately a very noisy environment with ridiculous wait times. Don’t understand this dogs being allowed in food establishments fad, leave them at home where they’re not getting trampled on and give the rest us a break from barking and all other things that go with them.
