The whole experience was fantastic, first class all the way. The restaurant is a large stone and wood building attached to the main house, resembling a Celtic roundhouse. Candles adorn the tables with large chandelier lighting. You walk through a library/sitting room to the restaurant. The library with a log burner, large leather sofas being a perfect place to have your after dinner coffee. This restaurant, house and cottages have breathtaking views. This place has a relaxed atmosphere both inside and outside as we watch the ducks on the beautiful pond.
Each week the menu changes. The chef uses local, fresh and seasonal produce. Fiona who greets you is so warm, friendly and has an infectious laugh. A pre dinner apéritif from the cocktail list. I have a flirtini followed by a triple P cocktail. Fiona devised this cocktail which consisted of Posseco, Pear liqueur and Pommegranite, delicious. Starters - beetroot cured Wester Ross salmon with pickled cucumber or Goats cheese with poached red wine figs and Smoked chicken and avocado Tian. All 3 starters tasted on our table and all very very good. Main - Margmore venison marinated in red wine with sweet potato champ, roasted garlic sauce or slow cooked Moroccan chicken with mixed bean cassoulet and rice or Fife's Puddledub buffalo sirloin steak with roasted vine tomato, shallot and hand cut chips again all wonderful. Dessert - we all had the Glen Lyon coffee and Bailey's creme brûlée with pistachio crisp DELCIOUS.
All the dishes were a slice of heaven with attention to detail, hats off to the chef. The menu lets you know this chef has travelled as the whole menu used flavours and influences from around the world. The hospitality was exceptional. The evening was truly a memorable night. This will not be my only visit to this wonderful establishment. When next in Aberfeldy I will take the opportunity to stay in this peaceful gorgeous place. Xoxo read more
