Driving home from Loch Ness, we were hungry. We had already been through lots of miles and a bit of…read morescenery and frankly our tummies were growling. The next big city ahead was Perth, so the boy decided to swing in (Lots of roundabouts.. woooo) and we found the Maltings, aka Eat Inn, so we decided to pop inside. A table was found rather easily and the menu was quick, we both opted for the roast beef dinner. When this thing came to the table it was huge: 2 yorkshire puddings, a heap of mashed potatoes, a pile of new potatoes, beets, carrots, broccoli and the beef all covered with a rich brown gravy - I got mine on the side. All for $11. 99 I'd no experience with Yorkshire puddings, but was told that you eat them like bread, so thats what I did. The food was very quick and very tasty, but the beef was a bit dry, so I'm glad I had gravy to pour over it at my own speed.

**WARNING** This is a lengthy review and you WILL be hungry after reading!…read more Just outside Perth and a short detour from the A9 lies Tibbermore (I know, cute right!), a typical 'blink and you'll miss it' kinda place, but really, just don't blink cos this place is awesome! It really does have it all - fresh fruit and vegetables all leafy and colourful, a gin lovers corner, wonderful cheese and meats deli, health foods section including a variety a GF flours, breads and oatcakes (try their own oatcakes, completely different from the brand that sounds like Talkers but sooo much tastier!), tray upon tray of freshly laid eggs...I could go on but you get the idea! And that's just the food section! They also have a glorious gift section where I could've easily spent a small fortune. Everything from kitchen gadgets to picnic baskets, kiddie gifts to Emma Bridgewater pottery and everything in between. I spotted a few local producers too which I loved as I always like to see locals businesses supporting each other. Then there's the café/restaurant which has a few outdoor tables but plenty inside if they're taken; the day I visited it was glorious but somehow we got lucky and got a table outside (my shoulders can prove that #scottishtan!...). The menu has lots of tasty options incorporating as much of their own produce as possible - I opted for the Homemade Chicken Liver pate while my parents both had the Smoked Ayrshire Ham & Gloagburn Curried Banana Chutney sandwich (Dad went hunting for the ham to buy later he was that impressed!). Once decided, we had to go inside and order at the counter; I'm not sure if this was due to us sitting outside or standard practise as when we asked for a second round of coffees (and some more oatcakes for me as I'd ran out!), a waitress came over with one of those electronic hand-held thingys to take that order so I wondered why she couldn't have done that initially, anyway, not really a star-affecting issue. Pricewise, we were just shy of £10/head for a sandwich and coffee (exc our 2nd coffee round), a tad steep but it's all fresh and local produce so I don't mind paying that when you know you're getting good quality (and it really was!). Given it's out-the-way location it's a busy wee place but worth the trip as you could easily spend a couple of hours here eating and browsing. There's plenty parking available and even a small play area for kids. Farm Shops like this don't come around too often, which is a shame as they really are wee gems of places!

I have passed Brig Farm Shop numerous times on bike rides, convincing myself that I should cycle on…read moreto Perth and remember why I was riding. Well, it was a cold, gusty, rainy January day... the kind of day that isn't suitable for fair-weather riders... so another cycling friend and I decided, basically, we would cave and have lunch here. I had the coronation chicken sandwich with spicy tomato soup. I couldn't have been more pleased. The coronation chicken may have been some of the best I've had in or near Perth. The servers are very friendly and happy to help you decide on which of their tasty menu items you should get. I stayed strong enough to decide not to have one of their baked goods... but I MAY have had one in the past. It was their Malteser bake. And while it may not have been quite as good as Gloagburn's, it was definitely one of the best I've had locally. If you're fortunate enough to visit on a sunny, or at least not rainy, day, then you get lovely views of sheep and/or cows grazing along the River Earn. Totally worth traveling to on a nice day for a nice lunch or baked good with tea or coffee... and maybe take a walk into the village or down by the river.

Well, I came to Perth, which is a small town in Scotland, and was convinced I wouldn't find anything healthy to eat. Alas, I stumbled upon Howie's Bistro and guess what? They offer gluten free / vegetarian options! They even have this vitamin Cola which is infused with herbs that I tried for the first time. It was delicious! My waitress was the sweetest! A young, 16 year old girl, who was so excited to hear that I was from LA. So cute. Ask for Zori if you go. And the owner, Craig, couldn't have been nicer. He even gave me a book of Scotland that had been left behind and been sitting at his restaurant for awhile. He may not be giving out anymore books if you check it out, but he will definitely welcome you with a smile!

What an unexpected yet delightful find! Right on the main road in Perth's city centre is this…read morescrummy little restaurant that hits all the high notes: good lighting, good service, good food, and--every Scottish person's favourite--good *value.* When you walk in the decor is sort of sumptuously hip, with unapologetically bright red accents and a bold print of the Paris Metro on the wall. You are greeted immediately by a cheerful and charming server--the kind who can be friendly without seeming intrusive and enthusiastic without seeming phony. The menu is adventurous and authentic, with specials that include the likes of frog's legs. It is a joy to find a restaurant that doesn't kowtow to local tastes but instead does what it says on the culinary tin. The chef really knows his stuff and delivers bold, rich, FRENCH flavours that melt in your mouth. But be forewarned--the portions are also authentic. A bit smaller than what you might normally find in a Scottish restaurant. But as French food is swimming in fat, that's probably a good thing. The pre-theatre menu is a steal, but if you miss that there is also a standing tasting menu where you can get any three courses for 19.99. The portions are a bit smaller than the a la carte, but the price is right. There are also small carafes of wine on offer, for those nights when you want a bit more than a glass but not a whole bottle. (What nights are those?) Should you find yourself in Perth, make a reservation at this deservedly popular little gem.

The most important reason we stopped here is we read they had Highland Cows you could feed. Locally they are nicknamed "coos". Highland Cattle are a unique breed with long hair and long horns. You will see them all over the Highlands and when we came 10 years ago I remember we saw some at a farm. I think feed is 2 pounds, they will eat aggressively and your hands and palms will be wet from cow slobber! The premade food didn't look great but we were here around 5 and we knew they kids wouldn't make it all the way back to Edinburgh from here without some kind of snack. We spent way too much time debating options and seeing what they had and ended up with the the hotdog. Had a bite, nothing stood out as good or bad and it was perfect for what we were looking for.
