The best restaurants serving British food in Perth & Kinross Central Scotland

Absolutely gorgeous property. We had a lovely balcony room with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast and dinner were both quite good. Parking was a little tough because we arrived late in the evening and spots were taken by people eating at the restaurant. Location was perfect with just a short walk to the main part of town. I saw other reviews complaining about the walk, which I don’t understand because it was quite lovely and brief. Will stay again if we come back!

This was a lovely cafe, serving lovely breakfast and bakes but what stood out was how lovely the staff were. They greeted each customer with equal interest and a personal touch, kind, friendly, attentive and great food on top of it!

Visited this deli on Tuesday 23 April 2024. First visit. Excellent array of goods. Well priced. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Excellent lunch - burger and fish and chips - at very reasonable price (particularly for Dunkeld - one of the most expensive tourist traps I have experienced!). Fish was very fresh and well cooked and crispy and burger was well done and juicy. Chips fresh and hot. Accompanied by wine and bottle of lager. Very enjoyable. Service was very good - friendly waitress. Toilets well maintained and - very important for me - ladies and gents were quite separate - yay! Carried out two tubs of ice cream to have outside - delicious! Many quality items on sale in shop. This is an excellent addition to eating possibilities in Dunkeld and would be my number one choice next time we visit. Delighted to recommend.

Cosy little restaurant, good food and service . Would highly recommend.

Reliable service and excellent food. Everyone should try.

Hemos visitado en varias ocasiones durante los 2 años pasados y siempre recibimos excepcional estándar de servicio y excelente comida de degustación, algo que parece ser difícil de encontrar en muchas diners, lo que le pregunto por qué estas otras empresas están todavía en negocios. Nunca hemos tenido algo más que de las comidas excepcionales en una gran relación calidad-precio, es una pena que no viven más cerca. Espero que Alec veranos volveremos algún día y le deseamos y su personal lo mejor dondequiera que estén. Graeme & Mairi

Excellent. We loved it. Staff so friendly, food excellent. Beautiful view from restaurant. Bedroom comfy and cosy. Nothing too much trouble.

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.

Came here for one night whilst visiting our daughter. What a wonderful hotel ! We sat by the glorious fire and had a lovely bottle of wine a cheese. Lot of other visitors came out the restaurant saying how amazing the food was. Hotel is beautiful and staff are professional and kind. We’ll definitely come back again if we are coming by this way. Thank you Lands of Loyal!

After booking a table and arriving early. I had a missed call enquiring where we were and an email cancelling the reservation. The food and service were excellent. The only down side is how dark the stairs and passage way are to the toilets. This is quite disorienting when coming out of the toilets.

Amazing lunch at Fika cafe. We all went for something different as such fantastic choices. The open sandwich of prawns was delicious along with the rosemary fries, meatball sandwich and Brie and bacon toastie. The pooches equally happy with their fresh bowl of water and gravy bones on a hot sunny day. Never made to cake as was too full but we were drooling at them as we left .

Staying in strathtay so this restaurant is only a 5/10 walk or 2 minutes by car The menu was great with so much choice and the service was excellent Food lovely we had haddock chips tartar sauce with crushed peas an side salad , delicious We also ordered fish of the day mackerel in a chimmichuri sauce which came with potatoes and a garlic and a side salad

Fish was stale and over-cooked, disgraceful.

Warm, welcoming hosts and delicious food. The full breakfast is extraordinarily tasty as all the lunch and dinner dishes. Kirklands hotel is certainly worth the extra mile!!
