The best restaurants in Strathtay Perth & Kinross Central Scotland

Great food and wine. Quite pricey but worth it. The owner is amazingly versatile - cook, waiter, sommelier all done effortlessly

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

We had a lovely meal and the staff were great.

Pasties felt like they were sitting for a while and not amazing. Service is great.

This was our second visit and thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay in this fantastic house. The food is amazing, beautifully presented and you looked forward to every course. The staff were extremely efficient, happy and helpful. Can't wait to return.

The location, the restaurant, the staff and the food are all excellent. My partner and I had a truly wonderful Sunday lunch and each dish (cheese souffle, John Dory and blueberry pana cotta) worthy of 10 out of 10. scores. My only concern is that the 25% increase in the price may deter future customers.

Went for a family meal had a wee bit of a wait as very busy but boy was it worth waiting on anyone who likes fish you must try the seabas with prawns in Filo pastry absolutely delicious. A lovely experience right on our doorstep

Tourist destination for buses and people going North of Perth. Got a gift shop, clothes and food. Nice, clean cafe with large selection of food. A bit expensive due to trying to get as much money out of tourists.

Enjoyed a wonderful three night stay here. The vibe in the outside area is awesome. Sunshine, river view, music and drinks, just perfect👌 Love coming to Dunkeld and you always get a friendly welcome at The Atholl Arms.
