We had a quick lunch here and enjoyed very much everything we ordered.

It seems that everyday they have a special starter and main that they write on the special's board. Would be good to have other options for vegetarians so I could come back and try other if their delicious dishes.

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.

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!

I ordered the fish and chips, and the boyfriend ordered the burger with chutney (What is that, anyway?) It came up rather quickly and the food, was surprisingly very good. My fish was amazingly light and flakey, it was a cod fillet, and the fries were a bit under done. The boy said his hamburger was JUST right. Our meal came with dessert, we had an apple crumble and it was divine.

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.

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.
