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.

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.

The best chippy! Although you order and pay at a kiosk, McKay's Fish & Chips in Pitlochry had the…read morebest fish we ate in all of Scotland. The portions of moist flaky haddock, breaded to a perfectly crunchy texture were generous. The chips and onion rings were also delicious. The mushy peas were a bit soupy, but we were there for the fish. The counter staff was efficient, preparing the meals and quickly delivering them to patrons in the attached seating/waiting room. We checked out the cool school light fixtures in the atrium of the dining area while we waited. There were no public restrooms in the fish shop, but they offered use of the facilities at McKay's restaurant next door.

Or your favorite local craft beer is by Budweiser. The three places Ive been to by this corporation are all just like A.I. versions of small and local. Looking for REAL? Looking for local? This isn't the place. Look into the faces of the employees. I see only disgust at the middle-managers (corporate stooge types) running these offshoots. HARD PASS on this resturant group. WHEREVER they are based. Criterion is real and local - if I may recommend a place.

We drove up to the Highlands to spend a few days away from the hustle and bustle of London this…read moreChristmas and decided to break our journey with an overnight stop in Perth. 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.

I think this is the finest restaurant in Perth…read more If you are looking for high quality service and cutting-edge menus then this is the restaurant for you. The restaurant is small, intimate, quiet and ideal for romantic meals! The food is pricey, but you will not be disappointed with the quality of the dishes and the food is beautifully arranged. During evening service there are numerous courses - so go on an empty stomach to fully enjoy the yummy dishes!

Brilliant fish supper from the Dunkeld Fish Bar while staying in Perthshire on holidays…read more This place has won awards for its fish and chips, and I can see why. The shop itself is for takeaway only, is clean and well presented, and the staff are lovely. On the walls hang various awards and letters of recommendation from happy customers. Their haggis, sausages, and burgers are all supplied from local producers. As for our fish and chips - the chips were deliciously crips on the outside and floury on the inside with a lovely flavour. The fish was meaty, fresh, with light crispy batter. Fish & chips don't get better than this!

As a relative newcomer to Scotland/the UK, this was actually my first chance to eat fish and chips since arriving as it can be tricky to find gluten-free batter on offer. The batter looked maybe a little thinner and paler next to my gluten-eating friends' dishes, but was still crunchy and delightful. The fish inside was tasty and the chips were acceptable (though we did takeaway and the 15 minutes in the takeaway box might have brought them down a notch from their original glory - not the restaurant's fault!) All in all, a great first fish and chips experience in Scotland.
