We stopped for lunch at this historic inn, after a fine time visiting the lovely town of Pitlochry…read more It is dog friendly, the whole town and the pub. We enjoyed looking at the cute good dogs. My daughter had fresh mussels from the Shetland isle, and it was a generous portion. We couldn't have mussels from Southern coasts as there was a restriction on harvest. We had soup, cheeses, salad. Delicious food, and nice service in a bustling, happy, establishment.

Stopped in without a reservation because I had no idea what time we would arrive in Pitlochry. I…read moretook a chance, fully expecting to be turned away. THAT did not happen! As soon as we walked in the door, this young man behind the bar asked us if we were there to eat or just drink, I quickly responded to eat, and he asked if I had a reservation, I told him no, and he said come with me. He took us to a table right next to the fireplace it was very lovely. He let us know that he had a reservation for that table in two hours. I assured him that we would be done within the two hour time limit. As soon as we sat down, a lovely young lady came and talked to us about the specials however, there was only one serving of it left. We immediately said yes, will take that and were pleasantly surprised! one of the best meals we have had here in Scotland!! the service was excellent. The ambience was awesome And the food was delicious! apparently they had live Scottish music starting at 8:30 but we had had a long day at the castles and we were very tired! Love this restaurant and only wish we would have time to return.

Scottish Pub in a cool little town. This place was exactly what I was looking for after a morning…read morespent checking out Tantallon Castle and a 3 mile walk back to town. The Fisherman Pie, which was Haddock, Smoked Haddock and Salmon in a Creamy Leek & Chive Sauce, topped with Mash Potato and Isle of mull Cheddar, was delicious. Even the Seasonal Vegetables, which were served with the pie was really good. On top of that, they had a nice long list of ciders to select from and they had the Kopparberg Strawberry & Lime, which is one of my favorites.

From the outside the Ship Inn looks like a local bar on the "welcoming" side of the scale as…read moreopposed to the "Tourists Beware" side. On entering it is a spacious and cosy looking bar that is definitely suited for tourists with a collection of beer mats almost being used as wallpaper to cover most of the free space behind the bar, some of which I had never even heard of! The decor and feel to the sitting area itself is traditional with a modern fusion, little tweaks like old spirit bottles (JD mainly) being used as candle holders are excellent to the vibe of the place and really let you settle happily in to one of the booths and take the surroundings in. We went in here because my better half was feeling hungry (I was saving myself for the North Berwick Fry which is just next door to the Ship Inn, in hindsight I should have eaten here) and decided to pop in here for a drink & a bit of lunch/dinner, we definitely weren't disappointed. A chicken and bacon burger was ordered and a chicken and bacon burger it was. Where the chicken that this chicken breast came from I don't know but it was definitely doing some serious weightlifting and bulking up. It was MASSIVE, in all it's chickeny beauty I found it hard to resist taking a huge bite out of the burger. Long stoy short, I ended up taking a huge bite out of the burger. The chicken was beautifully juicy for general pub grub and the bacon was lovely, sweet but slightly salted which gelled all the flavours of the breaded chicken and the toasted roll together. Thinking about it now, I'm getting hungry again. Every time I have a pub burger, the side salad always lets it down, every time, it's like the bars expect people not to eat it, but not this bar. The salad was crisp and fresh, served up with a deliciously sweet vinaigrette that was perfect for dipping a wee bit of the roll in. The spirit measures were 35ml and the guest ales on offer covered breweries such as Innis & Gunn and The Inveralmond Brewery (who do beers such as Lia Fail and Ossian) which justified the bar being about 60-70p more expensive than the others we visited.

I was invited to stay at Pitlochry for a few days, and was amazedly and surprised to say the…read moreleast, reading about The Loft reaching the number one spot on an international travel website, naturally it had to be tried. Reopened within the last six months Stuart(chef) and Jennifer(host) have transformed what was previously a venue for pub grub, into a heavenly treat for the palate. On par with the top restaurants Edinburgh has to offer, The Loft is not too far away from the city so you can get there within two hours. The only downside is it's upstairs thus the name, so there are no other means of getting to it. But a spacious area decked in creams and mocha with wooden beams and walls featuring local artists. Best thing is you don't need to be a local resident of the River Tilt park to visit, just give them a ring to book, or beware large groups who don't you may be turned away. There are enough tables in two rooms with comfy leather seats or benches built into alcoves adorned with tartan. With some other folks in, made it feel nearly full but even on a rainy night it wasn't too warm. You might even see your food being prepared behind the bar area because it's mostly open plan. For the better though the ambience was just right, not too noise so you couldn't hear, easy listening music in the background. We were settled into a cosy spot near the air balcony so we could see outside. Their balcony also has a few tables complete with shady umbrellas for those balmy summer brunches. But I don't think it is used for evening meals? From locally sourced ingredients, what Stuart and Jennifer produce is a first class meal of immense flavour, that your tongue might do a merry dance as taste buds go into overdrive. Some of our party tried starters consisting of chicory leaves, sitting on top of a beet flavoured dew, paired with thinly sliced medium rare venison. Mains were battered fish and homemade chunky fries, served on a slate with creamy mayo. Others had beef with a variety of veggies. A bottle of Grenache Rose completed the drinks, but I felt it might have been better pairing the fish with a lighter white, or for the folks enjoying The beef a deeper full bodied red. We stayed for about three hours never felt rushed, but we had enjoyed one starter, three mains, two desserts including a large cheese board, two beers and a bottle of wine, so on average the three of us paid around £45 each. The Loft is Open from 10-ish till 10-ish is well worth the hype. I've made a note to come back and sample the rest of their menu, that is if they are still at River Tilt park in a few years...perhaps they will expand to Perth or Edinburgh?

Simply fantastic, what an experience! The host were so cordial and hospitable. The food was…read moreamazing, you will not be dissappointed, don't miss this charming eatery.
