**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!

A charming little cafe with homemade bread and scones. Even the chandelier is made with teacups!…read more The quiche is so delicious and service is friendly, so glad we stopped by here before our Birnam woods walk.

This is the cutest bakery right around the corner from the City Centre in Dundee. We read about…read morethis place on line and it totally met expectations. You can eat in or carry out. The service is fast and friendly. But, you come for the food. We enjoyed a Fudge doughnut and a Millionaire shortbread cookie along with a pot of tea. I am glad we split our order, because the short bread cookie was layered with caramel and milk chocolate and was so decadent. The fudge doughnut was the thing we came for and it was amazing. The doughnut was light and airy and filled with a sweet, but not too sweet, custard. They also serve lunch and other hot items, but today was dedicated to the sweets. There was a steady stream of people, so the locals all know about this place. It you are in town, you won't want to miss it.

Very cute family owned bakery. Lots of options and good prices. Very friendly service…read more They do have limited vegan options including an American shortcake. It was really tasty!

We sat outside & it was a nice day.

Willows is a bit of an establishment in Perth. This doesn't necessarily work in it's favour…read more While it can't be beat in town for outdoor seating, with it's next door view of the historic St John's Kirk and the cobble stone streets surrounding the controversially derelict city hall, Willows is nowhere near my top places to visit in Perth for anything other than enjoying Suki Tea on a sunny day. And while the outdoor seating is lovely it is overshadowed by the unambitious decor inside. The lunch sandwiches are so-so. My high expectations were let down quite quickly once seeing their slightly more visually appealing than average coronation chicken sandwich. It tastes as good as it looks... just ok. The only redeeming factor for me is that they serve Suki Tea, which I love. But while they serve it in Suki Tea pots, the cups are something out of your gran's favourite cafe... you know the one, it usually serves generic tea bags in a small metal pot with a flat lid that doesn't pour properly. I'll continue to visit here on dry summer days for the outdoor seating, but I have no need to try the food again. Perth is a place of average expectations and Willows meets these.

They are always busy, but the service is fast and efficient, Their selection of pies includes the Scottish standards like a steak pie, bean and tattie pie but also a chicken balti piie and a few more Indian influenced pies.

Heart attack central!!!…read more Good for a snack after a heavy night of drinking (seem to end up here a lot drunk and hungry) and with delights such as the "Helicopter", a burger with pretty much everything imaginable on it, even chips, its easy to see why it's popular past pub/club closing time. In the cold, hard light of day - different story!!

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.

Driving on our way to Perth & snacktime munchies set in.... enter Country Bakery…read more 4 beautiful words: Mac n Cheese Pie - very tender, flaky, crust w/ perfectly cheesy al dente pasta. Man, this thing was nirvana! If you do nothing else in Scotland - GET THIS PIE! Mom got the Broccoli & Blue Cheese Pie - not a lot of blue cheese but did have lots of broccoli & eggy. Dad opted for the Sausage Roll & said it was very good - the bread was soft & sausage was flavorful w/ out being spicy Small shop w/ a few tables - limited savory pastries & rolls & sandwiches to offer but they're quite tasty & I'm sure you'll find 1 that suits your fancy! Great on the road snack - portable & delish!
