There is a nice flower rimmed patio here that would have been our preference but alas Scottish weather did not cooperate. Interior basic tables and chairs. Attentive service much appreciated. A number of Scottish cuisine dishes caught my eye while perusing the menu. We picked Garlic Bread to start, mainly due to the fact that across the board we have enjoyed amazing breads while in Scotland. Though it could have had more garlic flavor, the bread was delicious. My DW was not overly hungry so she chose the Beetroot and Goat Cheese salad. This was pronounced delicious and mention was made of the mild, not too robust, flavor of the cheese. Scottish lamb-Roast Rump of Perthshire Lamb-was my choice. Served with ratatouille & dauphinoise potatoes, both of which I felt were truly outstanding. The potatoes especially were an excellent compliment to the lamb. I was pleasantly surprised how the flavor of the lamb was much less "gamey" than most of my past experiences. The unctuous flavor was eye opening and the red wine jus added deep flavor to the dish. Loved it. We skipped dessert here for the ice cream shop down the street. If you visit Pitlochry, be advised that the tourist busses can flood the town day and evening so if you want to visit Victoria's, best to make a reservation. Highly recommended.

Everything looks tempting and is a little nicer than what you'd find in the local Co-op around the corner. They have a few tables to sit in and a rather lush sounding gourmet sandwich menu (though I'm yet to sample anything from it, I can give their flat white coffee a thumbs up however!). Everything can be done to takeaway too.

From the…read morestreet this place looks really nice: Smart staff, lovely solid wooden furniture and decorated in a contemporary style. But when we walked through the door the smell of drains should have us running for the hills. Unfortunately, when you have a small child in desperate need of juice rapid changes of direction are ill-advised, if not impossible. I really wish that I could say that the smell was a glitch and that everything else was wonderful. It wasn't. The drain smell did seem to be confined to the corridor so we sat down. We hadn't even managed to get our arms our of jackets when a waitress appeared. No greeting, no smile, no eye contact "Drinks?". We obviously didn't look hungry because no sooner had we asked for a drink each she was gone, answering the phone must take precedence over serving customers. We waited until she came back with our drinks to order scones. I wouldn't have bothered had I realised that even serving our drinks was too big an ask. My coffee was as good as thrown at me and no acknowledgement was made to the fact that a good portion of the cappuccino ended up in the saucer. The scones were served/launched in the same manner with butter portions ending up off plates and on the table. At this point it was getting a bit funny. If starring in Fawlty Towers is your idea of a good afternoon out. Sadly the scones and drinks didn't compensate for the crap service. The coffee was weak, watery and lukewarm and the scones didn't look or taste homemade. The best bit about the Strathgarry was looking in the window. Once you've done this keep on walking. Unless you have money to waste having a good giggle at how bad service can be.

The more surprising thing is that this oversight hadn't even occurred to us until we sat down for lunch at the Bridge Cafe and saw that a couple of different breakfast plates were on option. It was not too late! I think we both went with the "Wee Yin," which was only £6 and came with an egg, meat (lorne sausage for me), bacon, a tattie scone, beans, and toast. I don't think I have a small appetite, but this was plenty. (The "Big Yin" adds additional good stuff for £2.5 more: haggis, black pudding, and mushrooms. I'd have to wait till the next morning to get some haggis and black pudding...) This was simple but hearty eating, and very satisfying at the midpoint of a drive from Skye back to the Edinburgh area. Spean Bridge is a charming little place, and this spotless cafe is colorful, has plenty of natural light, and a cheerful air to it. At one point, a couple of the young servers picked up instruments (acoustic guitar and accordion) just behind us, and I thought we were going to be subjected to acoustic jam versions of pop songs, just like those dreaded at a certain chain sandwich shop in the States. But this was pretty great, just an interlude of a couple of sprightly yet gentle instrumentals, and then they were back to their tables. Excellent spot.

I asked for a Guinness instead, and the bartender gave me the Extra Cold variety without asking. She must have thought, "Bloody Americans all like their beer at 33 degrees." Well, I prefer the regular variety, thank you very much. Anyway, it was a shame because she was the first smoking-hot bartender that I had found in Scotland. She did give me a smile as I left though.
