The shop is amazingly well stocked with a wide variety of both local, Scottish and deli produce, much of which is from Balgove itself. If you are a Scottish gin lover you will be in heaven!!!!!!! They even make their own Scotch eggs! The Steak Barn is a quirky farm building that has been cleverly designed as an outdoor/indoor space. It has long wooden trestle tables and benches to sit on but don't worry they have blankets on the benches to make them a bit more comfortable. The menu is based on beef but has a great small selection iif other yummy choices. I had the beef burger and I can honestly say that it was one of the juiciest I have ever tasted. My friends had the rib eye steak and they said it was really really good. The twice cooked chips were amazing and one of my friends steak was late in coming because the chef was not happy with the first one he cooked so he made another. Good selection of Eden Brewery beers and gin. Downside, you can't book, I think this maybe because if the weather is bad it would be difficult to operate. Totally recommend it, made a great day out even better, they even have WiFi

Whilst quiet for a Sunday, there were a few folk dining. Along with the ubiqutios Sunday roast, the menu was full of many a tempting meal. I chose the steak pie, with chips & veg, my only bug bear being more veg & variety. My wife chose the herb coated salmon, with tagliate. Our plates came to us full, and left empty. As Im watching my weight I declined a dessert, & a second ale. My wife however had the banoffee pie. Our meal was fairly priced, coming in at under £30. Well worth a vist, look forward to our next visit.

We were seated and given a lovely bread board with so-so bread, butter patties and no bread plates. Where shall I put my bread? On the table that they just wiped with disinfectant, or on my service paper napkin, since there is no bread plate. A refill of bread was presented with no more butter. Our set menu was two types of soup (potato leek and Cullen sink. Main choices were chicken pie, roasted BEET, and venison sausage. The mini portion of soup was good, then the mains came out. First off the mains were served on dessert plates. Those who ordered chicken pie received what would be a $2 sausage roll with some sauce veloute and two tablespoons of chicken. I changed my order to sausage, and was told 15 minutes, please. The venison sausage served atop whipped potatoes were good. Then the dessert, the piece de resistance. Either sticky toffee pudding /cake or raspberries, whisky ice cream. The sticky was a cake mix from the shelf. There was no ice cream but a scoop of whipped cream with two When asked where's the whisky ice cream they said "oh golly" perhaps the cook forgot to put it on the plate. So they brought out mini bowls that wouldn't fill an ice cream cone, with standard vanilla ice cream. Service was fine for a tour type dinner. They are severely understaffed. At the end of every adventure, I ask myself "would I return". ? They could not pay me to eat there again, although I would happily employ the barman's services regularly

Talk about a diamond in the rough! What a gem! We were in Dundee on a Weds in Sept. for a day and…read moredecided to go to Broughty Castle towards the end of the day. After our castle tour, we looked for a local place to have dinner before driving back to Dunkeld. Forgan's was such a wonderful surprise. Our party had the lemon and herb Chicken along with the Shepard's pie. My wife and I both agree it was excellent. The lamb based pie was one of the best I've ever had. We had the Haggis appetizer and topped it all off with a pint of Forgan's own brew. Dessert was toffee pudding and the chocolate mousse. All very good. The ambiance is sophisticated and beautifully decorated. Service was very nice but bit slow. However, should one be in a hurry when on vacation? Be careful, the restaurant is large but its front end is small so you could easily drive/walk by and not see it. Definitely would recommend Forgan's to anyone visiting the nearby castle, beach, or Dundee.
