Featured Perth And Kinross Restaurants
1. The Glenturret Lalique Restaurant
Scottish restaurant in Crieff
The Glenturret Distillery, The Hosh - PH7
“A joyous combination of beautiful, brilliant food, a great wine list, and service from people who made it as much about fun as fine-dining” – this Lalique-branded venue has been an unusually successful departure for Scotland’s oldest working distillery, winning a hymn of praise since it opened three years ago (and a second Michelin star in early 2024). Many who comment on it report their best meal of the year, from a luxurious tasting menu prepared by chef Mark Donald and his team for £220 per person; and even those who do not are nonetheless impressed: “We had the pescatarian tasting menu – fish and seafood are excellent (including the spoots, langoustine, bisque-it and monkfish); the vegetarian dishes (sweetcorn nectarine truffle and juniper-smoked king oyster) are maybe more of an acquired taste. The wine list is amazing and the cocktails (especially the Negroni) to die for. The lounge and bar area have the perfect ambience. The dining area itself is a little sparse despite the chandeliers but the Lalique glassware is an exquisite touch”.
2. Aran Bakery
Sandwiches, cakes, etc restaurant in Dunkeld
2 Atholl Street - PH8
2022 Review: Great British Bake-Off’s youngest ever contestant, Flora Shedden (then just 19) runs this artisan bakery, housed in what was a derelict 200-year-old building in the heart of the community, and recently opened another venture across the road: well worth a visit should you be passing through on your way to the Highlands…
3. The North Port
British, Modern restaurant in Perth
8 North Port - PH1
2024 Review: This wood-paneled “gem” occupying a seventeenth-century building, from the husband-and-wife team of chef Andrew Moss & FOH Karen Milne, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year – the “exceptional cooking and wine list are a joy”. We’ve rated it on relatively thin feedback – more reports please.
4. Cafe Tabou
French restaurant in Perth
4 St John's Pl - PH1
2022 Review: This “little piece of France” – down to the terrace under a red awning along the streetfront – has earned a strong local reputation over more than a decade as a haven of classic Gallic cuisine.
5. 63 Tay Street
Scottish restaurant in Perth
63 Tay St - PH2
2021 Review: Set up in 2007 by Slow Food aficionado Graeme Pallister, who trained at Kinloch House Hotel and the restaurant at Gleneagles, this elevated Scottish dining room, on the western banks of the Tay, remains a Perth gem that’s “exceptional value early evening”.
6. Kinloch House
Scottish restaurant in Blairgowrie
Part of the Relais & Châteaux empire, a “lovely hotel with restaurant to match” that stands on 25 acres of parkland in prime shooting country – it’s “always a pleasure to revisit this traditional grand house and soak up the comfort in several lovely lounges and also the well-stocked bar”. Top Menu Tip – “the smoked salmon and the beef remain far and away the things to eat here”.
7. The Grandtully Hotel by Ballintaggart
Scottish restaurant in Grandtully
In a Victorian railway hotel relaunched two years ago by brothers Chris & Andy Rowley, “this restaurant makes excellent use of produce from the same owners’ nearby Ballintaggart Farm”, where they operate a cook school. We rated it on limited feedback, all of it good.
8. Jon & Fernanda's
British, Modern restaurant in Auchterarder
34 High Street - PH3
“This real gem” on Auchterarder’s high street has just celebrated 25 years’ serving “fine food at good value for money”. It’s “a short drive from Gleneagles” – where “lovely friendly owners” Jon (chef) and Fernanda Lewin used to work – so “you must go when staying”, but “booking is advised because it is small”.
