After all, this is a luxury that is simply not available for those visiting Scotland from the US, where the countryside is polluted with KFC and McDonalds emblems, leaving little appreciation for a family owned business and a high quality meal from real, local ingredients. Cafe Tabou spectacular. The ambiance is that of a dinner restaurant, with a great selection of steaks that the restaurant is best known for. The bottles of wine here are not expensive, although the upcharge to retail is substantial mostly landing at x3 to x4 to retail price. That is certainly higher than expected and putting higher quality bottles without increasing the price would be a reasonable consideration for the restaurant. When it comes to the steak, the preparation is absolutely phenomenal. The seafood is also excellent, with fish of the day being a great dish. All around, Cafe Tabou is easy to recommend. A great small restaurant.

There are definitely lots of restaurants or cafes, but very few worth visiting more than once. Duo, however, I simply can't get enough of. Duo is the Italian little sister of Perth's well-known French restaurant Pig'halle, and they sacrifice none of the quality. Everything is made in house, including the pasta and pizza. Knowing this, I have found it hard to resist having pasta here. The egg linguine with mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes is excellent. On my most recent visit I had the pumpkin and pecorino ravioli in honey and orange jus. It was an incredible plat du jour that was almost sweet enough to be a dessert as much as a main course. Speaking of dessert, you really need to have one here. It's worth it just to stop in for dessert with wine or coffee or tea. Or it could be worth stopping in for one (or 10) of their famous macarons (the best in Perth) or an eclair. They also make arguably the best pizzas in town. They even have a haggis pizza, how Italian-Scottish could you get? And it's also worth noting that they do 2-for-1 pizzas to takeaway on Tuesdays... but if you MUST plan ahead. This is such a popular deal that I recommend phoning at least an hour ahead. I'll often phone in the afternoon for an evening pickup.

We ordered: Mushroom Risotto Meat Calazone A house white wine Kronenbourg beer Risotto was amazing. Good texture and flavor. Meat Calazone was the size of a small planet, but tasted delicious. We also did not wait long for the food. I was filled up and ready to hit the streets of Perth once more. A great place for great food and service. I will be visiting again. I have already told friends about this place, and came here based upon a friends recommendation.

Excellent food? Yes…read more Best place to eat in Crieff? Quite possibly. Due to tourism, Crieff has more cafes, delicatessens and gourmet shops than most towns it's size. So when I was walking in the centre of town and Delivino caught my eyes, I have to admit I wasn't completely surprised to find a place that looked so enticing. However, my experience in across Perthshire has still left me a bit suspicious of restaurants and cafes that look inviting, but in the end don't quite meet expectations. Delivino exceeded mine. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by someone who we assume was at least the manager. He was very helpful in pointing us to some bar seating by the window. It's crazy... it was 2.30pm on a Saturday every table in the cafe was occupied except for two which were reserved... next time, I know to phone ahead. It was hard to decide what to eat, simply because I loved almost all of the options. In the end I went with the crayfish tails bruschetta. The crayfish tails were in a lime mayonnaise that was irresistible. I haven't had crayfish this tasty outside of Louisiana in a long time. It comes on a bed of rocket salad on top of two slices of bread. It was amazing. We finished up our meal sharing a piece of lemon and blueberry cake. To be honest, this was the only slightly disappointing element to our experience. It was just ok, and wasn't as lemony as I had hoped. We should've gone with the recommendation of the carrot cake or chocolate sponge, which both looked amazing. But in the end, the cake was by no means lacking enough for me to give this place a lower rating. They sell wines, cheeses and other foods in the cafe. They also have a tea/coffee and chocolate option, which I will have to try out in the near future. Due to my work, I will find myself in Crieff more often these days, which I by no means am complaining about. And I will definitely be stopping at Delivino whenever I have the chance... and I'll have a hard time ordering something besides the crayfish bruschetta... except for maybe the tea and chocolate.

We got a very cheap room at the local Travelodge so we thought we would treat ourselves to a tasty supper in the town. After sounding out B's pal who lives in Perth about good places to eat locally, and a bit of research from me on the internet, we decided that 63 Tay Street looked like it would tick all the right boxes. Although by no means the cheapest place to eat in town the a la carte menu looked like good value, perhaps that's the London perspective, and from the website I could see that 63 Tay Street boasted a fine selection of keenly priced wine. We had a quick drink in the lovely Greyfriars pub, just round the corner from the restaurant, and arrived at 7.30. I was a bit surprised to find that there was only one other table taken in the beautifully restored room which had been given a modern, elegant make over. No matter, it meant we had the full attention of the two lovely waitresses and we were soon sitting in a widow table with a glass of sherry and dealing with dilemma of what to order from the short but very sexy menu. It was most definitely one of those situations where you could have easily picked any of the dishes on offer and been happy but care was needed to ensure that you did not end up with a bad case of the food envy. First up was an amuse bouche which was a small cup of parsnip and whiskey soup with a dash of cream and a tiny haggis; just delightful and very tasty. It was then on to a really stunning plate which consisted of a leek and potato velouté topped with hot smoked salmon. I was calling this salmon 4 ways and it was a lovely taste sensation which showcased all that it best about this fine fish. Next was a palate cleanser of orange grenata which came with spiced oranges and dates. Unusual, but it was tasty and worked very well. It was then onto the main event; B had a very festive looking roast guinea fowl while I had the fillet of pollack with roast scallops. Both dishes looked as pretty as a picture on the plate and tasted even better. I don't think I have ever had scallops that had been cooked this well and much credit should go to the skill of the chef. We were both beginning to feel a little bit like stuffed turkeys by this point in the proceedings so we decided to share a delicious dessert of chocolate souffle, marmalade ice cream and whiskey custard. We washed all this food down with a lovely, very reasonably priced, bottle of Pouilly Fume which was every bit as good as the blurb on the beautifully constructed wine list suggested. In addition to the many interesting and well priced wines on the list it was good to see some local craft beers had been included along with suggestions for teaming them up with various dishes very forward thinking. We left around 10pm well fed and in high spirits, ready for a good nights sleep before pushing on up the East coast to our journeys end. I look foward to a return visit to 63 Tay Street when I am next in town.

Everything was delicious!! I loved the creaminess of the soup, the potatoes, and the smoked fish. I hope I can find smoked fish at home to make this soup.
