The 15 best foods to try in Pitlochry

Fab tasty lunch. Was fine with the dog -got us some water. Food was great and we felt like being abroad so their slogan pitlochry answer to Mediterranean was true. Great service. Very relaxing lunch and delicious Irish and French coffee

We loved our mezze starters, then the main courses arrived - wow! My partner had the roast lamb and mash and I had venison. Scottish country fare at its finest. Delish - off you go!

Nice and cozy little restaurant. We just ordered a quick dinner during a quick stop on our tour, they let us know they were already fully booked but that we could sit in the terrace which was even better. We ordered the soup and some fries and it was quite delicious. The atmosphere was great and the service was out of this world! I would just wish we had more time to try more of the delicious food they offered.

Tried haggis meals and tattles for the first time has loved it. The best tiramisu we’ve had in a long time. Gorgeous building inside and out. Great service. Highly recommended

We had been absolutely exhausted after a long hike in Glencoe. Despite us being 1hr late with traffic they kept our booking kindly and I’m so happy they did! The venue is stunning, elegant and cozy with an infectious atmosphere. The food…sublime! Mouthwatering, diverse options and excellent value. Ended with the best tiramisu I’ve ever had and a delicious local Aberfeldy whiskey. Our waitress was very attentive and warm; she even gave us tips on whiskey drinking! Will definitely be visiting again :)

We visited this restaurant for our anniversary! Food is amazing. I had the duck and my husband had venison. Definitely the best meal we've tasted in ages! Staff are fantastic and the atmosphere is brilliant! Thank you to you all for a lovely evening....even the singing by staff and customers to say congratulations was a lovely touch. We definitely will be back and have recommended your restaurant to so many people. Thank you. Heather & John McInally

Second visit recently and once again the food was outstanding and the wine too… lovely relaxed service and good choice of menu . Highly recommend.

A very nice Italian restaurant on the main road of Pitlochry. This hotel was recommended by the owner of the hotel we were staying at. He recommended to make a reservation as it would get full quickly. Maybe it was the time ofthe year, but we felt it was not needed. There were plenty of spaces available. As always, better to get a reservation. We had pasta dishes, a beer and a wine. The pairing was good and the pasta were excellent. A definite return if I get a chance. We sat in the patio, just off the road. We people watched as we ate, which was fun. The staff were friendly, service was quick and the food came hot. Overall, an amazing place to end your day after roaming around Pitlochry main road and the dam.

I am Scottish and I came up here on a private tour with some clients. I stopped here for a working lunch and the food is of extremely high quality. Their isn’t many establishments that will serve you ayshire bacon and stornoway black pudding as part of a Scottish breakfast. Coffee beans they use are very good and I ended up having 3 cafe lattes.

First time visiting Pitlochry. As we were driving to avimore. Stopped off for some lunch . . Found this restaurant . Wasn't really busy as it was just 12 o'clock in the afternoon . Got a table for 6 . Was given water which was a nice touch . . We all ordered more or less the same from the menu .4 fish and chips . 2 stk pie and potato's..the meal was absolutely lovely. .what I would say is the prices are a bit steep when you've to pay £44 for 2 fish teas . . Infact all of us paid the same amount for a 1 course meal. I work in a 4 star hotel and we don't ask our customers to pay these kind of prices. .

1. Big portion of food; from the picture is a starter salad 2. Reasonable prince in the town 3. A lady who works there named Permu (hope is the right spelling) is very very nice and kind who deliver the best costumer service

4.5 stars here. After some deep research of the options in Pitlochry, we chose Victoria’s for its menu variety-Scottish, Italian, Latin, etc. We were not disappointed. There is a nice flower rimmed patio here that would have been our preference but alas Scottish weather did not cooperate. Interior basic tables and chairs. Attentive service much appreciated. A number of Scottish cuisine dishes caught my eye while perusing the menu. We picked Garlic Bread to start, mainly due to the fact that across the board we have enjoyed amazing breads while in Scotland. Though it could have had more garlic flavor, the bread was delicious. My DW was not overly hungry so she chose the Beetroot and Goat Cheese salad. This was pronounced delicious and mention was made of the mild, not too robust, flavor of the cheese. Scottish lamb-Roast Rump of Perthshire Lamb-was my choice. Served with ratatouille & dauphinoise potatoes, both of which I felt were truly outstanding. The potatoes especially were an excellent compliment to the lamb. I was pleasantly surprised how the flavor of the lamb was much less “gamey” than most of my past experiences. The unctuous flavor was eye opening and the red wine jus added deep flavor to the dish. Loved it. We skipped dessert here for the ice cream shop down the street. If you visit Pitlochry, be advised that the tourist busses can flood the town day and evening so if you want to visit Victoria’s, best to make a reservation. Highly recommended.

Staff very friendly. Prices quite fair. Good presentation lovely, but tasteless. My partner had fish which was over cooked and panko battered. I ordered duck- rubbery, served too cool and tasteless. The dauphenoise potatoes were poorly prepared scalloped. Would not eat here again.

We visited here twice one at lunchtime and one at the evening during our time in Pitlochry. My Fiancé is coeliac and I’d spotted online that there is a gluten-free menu and seemed to be pretty cleared up on the precautions needed for coeliac. We were pleased to eat here and have a really positive experience with staff very familiar with what coeliac is and the necessary precautions needed. Food is prepared separately and they’re also super cautious as when we ordered something off the menu the chef doublecheck the ingredients and realised that it may contain gluten so they came back to the table to check if we wanted something else which shows how cautious they seem to be!

Good spot to eat lunch/dinner. It has a good atmosphere and it’s near the main street. The meat that I had was delicious.

I struggled with whether to give this restaurant a 2-star or a 3-star rating. The restaurant is beautiful both outside and inside. We were greeted and seated right away and service went downhill quickly from there. A server approach our table and asked if we wanted food and told us he would get us menus. He brought menus, water, explained the specials as if he was in a hurry, took our drink orders, and then completely disappeared. Another server took our food orders; and yet another server brought our drinks about 15 minutes after the order for them was placed. My husband got the Monk fish special and I got the filet special. Our meals were plates beautifully, but had zero (and I truly mean zero) flavor. My filet was very tender and after I added salt and pepper it was much better, but the other items were so void of flavor that even salt and pepper didn't help. After some discussion, my husband and I agreed this is the worst meal we have had during our vacation in beautiful Scotland.

Magnificent atmosphere!! Very nice place. I really enjoyed having dinner there. The door was was open so it got a bit cold inside during the evening.

Restuarant is busy and popular but expensive (as are all restaurants in Pitlochry). £22 for dry fish and chips, £20 for smallish portion of scampi. In both cases some of the chips were scrapings and the mushy peas were just a garnish not a portion. Also cold. £30 for house red wine is taking the Mick. Obviously prices geared to taking full advantage of the tourists and I suspect it is the same elsewhere in Pitlochry as menus in other restarts similarly priced. Service fine but atmosphere at bit 1980s.

I had fish and chips which cannot go wrong in UK but it did. For the first time ever of eating countless times and in UK, I had bones in my fish which were small and could have easily gone and stuck int he throat. The fish was also very very oily. Moreover, it was very pricey. Not going back to this place for food. 2 stars is for the fries.

No complaints from me at all for The Old Mill. I was really happy with my food choices. Chicken wings with a spicy dip, Belly of Pork, and a rhubarb and apple crumble. All bang on choices. The service was very good and efficient.

Stopped in for drinks prior to the enchanted forest. Very crowded but waited a few mins for a seat at the bar. Standard drinks, cocktails were very sweet. Would go back and sit outside for lunch.

We had a wonderful dinner at The Auld Smiddy. It's a lively spot loved by both locals and visitors—definitely worth booking ahead. The service was excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly, and full of good recommendations, which made us feel really well looked after. We shared a cheese board to start, tried one of the daily specials, and had the venison & pancetta tagliatelle ragù for the main. Everything was delicious. The sticky toffee pudding, though, was the highlight—I’d recommend it to anyone. We’ll definitely be back, and we highly recommend it if you’re visiting Pitlochry or the surrounding area.

We visited the inn for dinner, and it’s a nice place that locals frequent for drinks and food. We particularly enjoyed the cosy local pub atmosphere and the attentive service. The food was good, with the monkfish scampi and chowder being our favourites. The oyster and seafood linguine was average.

Warm welcome by friendly professional staff. Great atmosphere. We took a selection of small plates to get a feeling for the place and watched the food coming out the kitchen. Lots of fabulous options. I really enjoyed their Cullen skink. We will be back to try more :)

On our visit, we missed lunch. So had a few hours to wait until the kitchen opened for the evening. We stayed to have a few drinks whilst we were there. Staff were friendly and helpful. A lovely place to visit. And hopefully can visit again soon to try the food!

Sat outside on beautiful afternoon. Well separated from the street. Very nice. Picnic tables were a bit uncomfortable but the setting was great. Service was very good, very attentive. I had the chicken burger, and my wife had fish and chips. Both were good. Very reasonably priced given the location. Chicken always a bit on the dark side, but still tender inside. Definitely be back here, recommend for sure. Picture is of the town view outside restaurant.

One of the best meals we've had in Scotland. A lovely, dogfriendly pub in charming Pitlochry. Also, very good music!

Just enjoyed dinner here. Ladies serving were 5* and had us seated as soon as we walked through the door. We were even asked if we wanted a dog water bowl and lots of attention was given to our furry friend. Food was to die for and great portions. Would definitely recommend and return here.

Fantastic venue. The surrounding grounds are beautiful. The Explorers garden worth a visit too. We went to see The 39 Steps. Brilliant, highly recommend. The 4 actors playing all different characters. Really enjoyed ourselves.

Absolutely lovely and so fun. An intimate stage experience with talented artists and a wonderful story. The building is clean and bright and modern in a storied landscape and garden that is entirely walkable and photo-worthy. Head over early to enjoy a leisurely stroll, a cup of tea or coffee, or a dram. The gift shop is worth perusing. Bathrooms are gendered rooms with stalls.

Lovely theatre. Easy to get to. Good toilet facilities. Lovely choice in the cafeteria. Good views. You also have a lovely garden to explore next door and not far from the dam.

Just saw 'A Toast Fae The Lassies' at Pitlochry theatre studio and it was magnificent! The acting was excellent and the singing outstanding. The musicianship was first class. The intimacy of the Pitlochry theatre studio helped, but the show deserves a national audience. Well done everyone involved, well done Pitlochry Festival Theatre!

Lovely place! Good sized shop with some gorgeous items. Beautiful theatre. Please though - more women's toilets! We saw the Great Gatsby. The cast were phenomenal.

Stumbled in to the first night of Nan Shepard and it was absolutely delightful! The audience even sang a Scottish song together. She was quite a wonderful person who is no longer lost to history. Great production! So glad I got to see it! 😁

Nice place on the way to Pitlochry dam site. There are some walking trails through the man made forest.

The high rating didn’t lie - it is really delicious Indian food! The portions aren’t that big but they are really well made! And our female waitress was so sweet and helpful. They also have a very well assorted gin bar whichever loved - just be aware that they charge 9-10£ for 2,5 cl of gin! 😳 The good thing is that you can sit outside and enjoy your GT and enjoy the landscape. Remember to book in advance to avoid being fully booked.

We booked in the restaurant under recommendation and were not disappointed. We took a tiffin which is a condensation of several dishes and it was incredible (it justified the price and it was for 2 people). The waitress was very kind and recommended dishes that were not too spicy and did not hesitate to answer our questions. The atmosphere is very cosy, the lights are dim and the music is good without being too present. I recommend it!

Absolutely amazing food and a wonderful dining experience! The service was exceptional — a special thanks to Shay for going above and beyond. You’ve done an amazing job, and your attention to detail truly made the visit memorable. The vegetarian options were also impressive and delicious. Highly recommended!

We are vegetarians and honestly had some of the best North Indian food we’ve ever tried in the UK at Cidsin Restaurant in Pitlochry. The flavors were authentic, rich, and absolutely amazing – a real treat if you’re visiting the area and craving high-quality Indian food. A special mention to Nicky, who looked after us during our visit. She was wonderful – friendly, attentive, and gave us excellent recommendations that turned out to be perfect! Every dish she suggested was spot on, and we loved them all. Thank you, Nicky, for making our experience even better! We’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend this place if you want proper Indian food in Scotland – take my word for it and try Cidsin.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, location, food was amazing breakfast and dinner. We were shown and explained the menu at tea time and the various authentic Indian Food from Aliket. He was so friendly, professional and knowledgable. The food he recommended was truly beautiful. I have never tasted such beautiful food. The staff, the hotel, the rooms and the views and gardens were absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend 100%

I traveled up to Pitlochry from Glasgow with my mother specifically to eat at this place, having eaten here a few years ago with my wife. It did not disappoint. This is by far the best Indian restaurant I have eaten at in Scotland. Totally unique and authentic flavours, perfectly balanced and presented beautifully. I can't wait to be back, the people of Pitlochry don't know how lucky they are

We arrived very late, after the kitchen had officially closed, but the wonderfully kind staff kindly asked the chefs if they could still prepare some takeaway meals for us — and they did. This kind gesture alone already made a lasting impression. While waiting, we took in the stylish and cosy interior, and couldn't help but marvel at the extensive whisky selection behind the bar. The waiter, noticing our curiosity, asked if we'd like to learn more – and we surely did! He gave us a warm and insightful introduction into the world of Scotch whisky, even teaching us the proper way to nose and sip it. Back at our accommodation, the food absolutely floored us. This was not your typical takeaway – the flavours were rich and balanced, everything was carefully packed, and it was clear that a lot of pride goes into every detail. Easily the best takeaway we’ve ever had. All in all, Cidsin managed to deliver one of the most delightful dining experiences we've had in a long while – and we didn’t even sit down for a meal! Hats off tae the whole team.

Room was spotlessly clean. Staff very friendly and top notch service. Food prepared on the spot was delicious. Bar area was very busy but the atmosphere was good. We've stayed in most Pitlochry hotels in our lifetime but we'll be staying here from now on.

We didn’t stay here but ate here. Good food - tasted lovely but portion sizes were sadly lacking. Just shy of £23 for fish and chips. Price is fine if the portion sizes are good but sadly they were very disappointing. Tiny portion of peas and very small pot of chips. Fish was quite small. Soup was £10.45. Served hot and tasted lovely but one very small piece of bread. For that price more bread is needed at least. Won’t be back to eat I’m afraid.

A lovely dinner at The Old Mill Inn. No need to book a table as you just pop in. We did and were seated straight away. Staff are friendly and attentive. Lovely dishes on the menu to choose from. Ordering was so easy, with staff coming to take our food and drinks order at the table. The wait for both our drinks and food was not long. My friend had the Sunday Roast and I had the Butter Chicken Curry. My friend enjoyed her Sunday Roast, the curry was nice but if I was to come again then I would order something else.

Really nice place to eat. A little pricey for what we were looking for during a camping trip but we found there was wood fired pizza on offer which were really delicious. Sat in the garden area and watched the football in the sun. Really nice atmosphere and the rest of the food off the main menu looked great from what we could see so I will be back to try it.

Friendly staff and a great location. The food was great, even my fussy 4 year old smashed his way through a burger. Heaters around the outside tables provided more than enough heat for our visit to make everyone comfortable.

We recently visited this restaurant on a Sunday and opted for the Sunday roast. While the location is great, especially the outdoor seating, the meal itself was a big disappointment. The beef was chewy and dry, the gravy was flavorless, and the potatoes were dull and unappetizing. We might consider returning to enjoy the atmosphere outside, but we won’t be coming back for a full dining experience. My advice would be to skip the Sunday roast and try something else on the menu instead.

The food was exceptional. The service fantastic. My chicken with haggis and root veggies was delicious and the sticky toffee pudding was definitely made from scratch. So delicious. Thank you.

Our guide, Cameron, was fantastic—he really made the experience. His mix of humor and knowledge created a relaxed atmosphere while still delivering plenty of interesting facts. Walking through the production areas and distillery gave us a much deeper understanding of the process. Cameron also made sure everyone understood how whisky is made—his explanation of the process chart was simple, clear, and spot-on. The tour length was just right—enough time to cover everything without feeling too long. The whisky tasting at the end was well-balanced, and we appreciated the small bottles provided for our designated driver. The gift glasses were a lovely touch. We stayed to chat with Cameron afterward in the Gift Shop and chose the 12-year single malt, which was our favorite. Overall, it was a fun and engaging experience.

I recently visited Blair Athol Distillery, and it was an absolute highlight of my trip to Scotland. The distillery itself is stunning, steeped in history, and set in a beautiful location that feels both authentic and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, the experience was smooth, well-organized, and full of charm. Our guide, Alan, made the tour unforgettable. His knowledge of whisky making was second to none, but what really stood out was the way he shared it—with warmth, humor, and a real passion for the craft. He struck the perfect balance between detailed storytelling and making sure everyone felt included, whether a seasoned whisky drinker or a first-timer. Alan didn’t just guide us through the process; he brought the distillery to life with history, local anecdotes, and a contagious enthusiasm. The tasting at the end was a fantastic way to wrap up—every dram carried depth and character, and Alan’s explanations gave me a new appreciation for the unique style of Blair Athol whisky. I left with both a deeper understanding of whisky making and a bottle to remember the experience by. If you’re anywhere near Pitlochry, make time for this distillery. It’s not just about whisky; it’s about storytelling, tradition, and people like Alan who make the experience shine. Highly recommended!

The tour was to the point but super informative, Cat answered all our questions like a true pro and the whiskey was bangin' - but mostly their team is just so kind. My brother was having back issues, so I went down early to ask if there was stool we could borrow during the tour. Someone from their team actually went through the whole distillery to make sure there was a chair in every room for him. So not just great whiskey, but also great people. We had a wonderful afternoon 🤍 (Also, try the highball at the bar! Delicious craftsmanship 👌🏻)

Very old brewery now owned by a mega corp. Small but interesting equipment that gives a good idea of the processes involved in making Scotch whiskey. Your guide was affable and pleasant. Whiskey was very good but not great. Certainly the tour was a good value and a fun way to learn about whiskey

We had a wonderful experience at the Blair Athol Whisky Distillery. María, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining, explaining the process in a clear and engaging way. We tasted three different whiskies, discovering their unique aromas and undertones. The distillery itself is cosy and full of charm — overall, a fantastic experience that we highly recommend. PS: The whiskey barrel chocolates were wonderful 😋

On our way back to Edinburgh we stopped at Blair Athol Distillery. Perfect way to enjoy a very well done and friendly tour of the distillery with a super cool, friendly and knowledgeable guide. She made all of us welcome. The Whisky is unique, very tasty and brought lots of joy when we shared some with our family after. Cheers!

A thoroughly enjoyable experience! Cameron manned the bar during our tasting and made it such a fun visit. He is knowledgeable and passionate. Two of our party didn't do the tasting and still found it enjoyable and interesting. The original copper mash tun is also quite a sight. Highly recommend!

We stayed in a twin room at the Townhouse, just across the street from the main hotel. We were escorted from the hotel check-in desk to the townhouse main entrance, which was a thoughtful service. The room was quaint, very comfortable and surprisingly modern, considering the historic age of the building. We had a slight issue with the sink, which maintenence remedied immediately. As advertised, note that there is no lift and several flights of stairs, depending on your room. Not a problem if you're comfortable with that! Since we were just staying a night, we left our suitcase in the car and just brought in what we needed. Very convenient to the Rie-Achan Road Car Park, which was reasonably priced for overnight parking. If you're coming by train, it's also a short walk from the station. Great stay, and we would definitely book again!

We had a nice big bedroom overlooking the high street, clean and comfortable, which was lovely. It was also directly over the bar, which is fine if you dont want to sleep! Music went off at about 11pm and the cellar was stocked at 5am. Imagine an erratic earthquake! The room was actually shaking. Stick with the traditional Scottish breakfast, which was good and the buffet was fine - the smashed avocado with poached eggs was actually served with a pre-bought green paste, no sundried tomatoes. Some staff were nice, some were pretty surly and short on smiles. The hotel is spotlessly clean and in a great location. Just ask for a room away from the bar, stay conservative with your food choices and you should be fine!

Lovely, welcoming hotel for us and our dog. Room was nice and clean, if a little dated, please don't be put off. We ate at night and we certainly wouldn't have any complaints. Breakfast in the morning was the only real disappointment, coffee was cold and the poached eggs were almost still clucking. So disappointing but wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Our overall experience at McKays is good. The check-in was easy and the location is fabulous. We stayed at the McKays Townhouse and it very much felt like staying in a sparce flat- no pictures, very small room and not equipped with plugs, etc in the same way a hotel room is. That said, it was comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, and I would definitely return but only if the hotel itself had availability.

the staff we had were lovely, no complaints to them (apart from one) we order our food, 2 sides 2 mains 2 cokes, 76ish pound if came to, more expensive than places in the middle of edinburgh city. Now if the food was good there would be no complaints however it was terrible, the burger was small, did not taste nice, the chips that were “dirty fries” were terrible, cheese sauce and cheese sprinkled on top yet there was no cheesy taste surprisingly, the chicken schnitzel had a very weird texture like cheap frozen poundland chicken, the mash potatoes were very nice however. the chicken wings were also nice tasting, dry but nothing too bad. then we got two sauces, and got charged double, i ask the server and they give me a refund, then i check my refund and i was short changed a pound, again nothing crazy but you charge me double then short changed my refund?? regardless of this staff were all nice that we spoke to, service was fast too but the food is ridiculous overpriced for the quality and taste that you pay for. sauces were 3.50 for reference i got two, charged £14 then got a £6 refund makes me think is this intentional?

A very friendly hotel, staff are superb at their jobs and also love a little humour. Dont be scared to crack a wee joke. The room was perfect, spacious, very clean and comfy. Food was delicious and the beers and cocktails were exactly as expected.

Went for dinner and a dance and wowsers we were so chuffed. Food was amazing and plentiful, music in the shape of a local band that had everyone moving. What a great night, friendly atmosphere with a great mix of clientele from golfists, walkers, couples and groups of gals.

This cafe's toilet was great. It was very spaceous and clean. It had the basics (toilet paper, soap and a working lock) and it was free. After washing your hands, you even have a choice. They both have paper towels and an air blower. The reason why I'm only giving them 4 stars is because there were only 2 toilets. One for men and one for everyone (including disabled people and it had a baby changing table).

Very nice little coffee shop well worth a visit. Excellent pastries, perfect cappuccino, friendly staff. They went above and beyond by warming the banana cinnamon loaf -- yummy!

I really loved this place! Perfect for a cozy lunch on a dreich day as very colourful inside with local artwork to purchase. Best Cullen Skink I've had in years -- could tell it was freshly made. Cakes were lovely, flat white coffee very good. Generous portions for everything, so I thought prices were reasonable. I plan to go back.

Warm, cozy and well decorated café. As a dog lover, I really appreciate all the dog photos in the corridor ❤️ the drinks and cakes are delicious, the staff is friendly and efficient. I really enjoy the tea time in this café in the cute city of Pitlochry 😊

Cafe Calluna in Pitlochry is the perfect retreat for travellers craving charm and comfort. Tucked into 90 Atholl Road, its warm and cosy interior—decked out with vintage furniture, fairy lights and quirky décor—instantly makes you feel at home. The menu is a delight: homemade soups, sourdough sandwiches, freshly baked cakes, and excellent coffee (locally roasted Glen Lyon beans) cater for all tastes. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Dog-friendly too, so paws are welcome! Whether you’re stopping for a quick pick-me-up or lingering over an afternoon tea, it’s a gem not to be missed.

A very friendly little place, not too many tables, and really good service. A pleasant atmosphere to sit in. Coffee was tasty! Their story on the menu mentions that most of their food is locally sourced, so big bonus points for that. Dog friendly, very friendly! Their toilets have a wall of polaroids of dogs that have visited which is just fantastic Only reason for food being rated 4/5 is that their lunch choices felt quite limited. The food itself was good

this would have been a nice place if the sub heated sausage rolls that me and the wife had didn't give us mild food poisoning, so beware and make sure the food is hot. the wife was sick in toilet in the cafe and i was ill within 10 mins of leaving and had to visit the toilet at the bus terminus. also several stops along the route home to loch awe.

We went to have dinner on our first day in Scotland because I had read so many good reviews. The staff was very welcoming and nice but the food was very disappointing. My mother had the Pastry butternut squash: there was too much tomato sauce so we couldn't taste the filling. I had the wild mushrooms risotto and unfortunately there was no taste at all, it didn't even taste a bit of mushroom. We chose that restaurant because they have a complete vegan/veggie menu but the taste was missing and the quantity of the risotto was small. We also ordered some garlic bread but it cost 6.5€ (5.5£) for 3 defrosted slices. The dessert was good. Bill: 65£ for two, expensive for what we got. Otherwise, the location is really nice a d good service.

We just had the most incredible meal here! I’ll be honest I was not expecting it from a small town we stopped in during our road trip. I had the salmon and my husband the steak pie. We were both so impressed by both dishes that we couldn’t pick only 2 desserts since we knew they would also be incredible 😂 we ended up ordering the sticky toffee, eton mess, and the cheesecake of the day (a white chocolate passion fruit, are you kidding!!!) and all 3 were delicious.

Unexpectedly stopped in this town because original destination was closed due to a typhoon and power outage. This restaurant had high ratings on Google, so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed at all. It was delicious. The pea soup and Mushrooms Risotto were particularly delicious, and the coffee was great too. I'd definitely return to try their other dishes if I could.

I went without a reservation and without any expectations, but I was absolutely amazed by the experience! The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, and the food… simply beyond words. Every dish feels crafted with care and precision. By far, the best dining experience I’ve ever had — a delicious surprise from start to finish. I’ll definitely be coming back! 👏🍷🍽️

We came here for lunch during our day trip to Pitlochry. The restaurant is very close to the train station and from here we started the route to the dam after lunch. We chose the fish & chips and the angus burger. Both plates looked great and delicious when served, but unfortunately the taste wasn’t what we expected. The burger wasn’t seasoned and so the chips in the fish plate, we had to accompany it with a lot of ketchup and mayo. At the end a bit pricey for what we had

I don’t think the food is good. Salad was too much sauce and the salad was wilted. Cauliflower soup, had curry powder and not fresh taste. Bread was not buttered and toasted. Fish and chips, were bland and the batter was falling off from the fish.

This plate of fish and chips looks absolutely delicious! The golden-brown battered fish fillets are perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, with a beautiful crunch that promises a satisfying bite. The thick-cut chips are golden and fluffy, making an ideal pairing with the fish. On the side, there’s a small bowl of bright green peas that add a nice pop of color and freshness to the plate. The creamy tartar sauce looks rich and tangy, perfect for dipping the fish. The wedge of lemon on top adds a refreshing citrus touch to balance the fried flavors. Altogether, it’s a classic, mouthwatering British meal that looks both hearty and comforting.

Had a very good meal at this place, it has a nice pub vibe. I especially liked that most of the mains were also available in small plates, so we could really have a variety of dishes along with some good ales

A nice restaurant with a casual vibe. The menu caters for everyone, with a choice of classic, Italian and varied dishes, a few vegetarian options too. The staff are very friendly and willing to help, and the price is reasonable considering location. A perfect way to end an Enchanted Forrest visit, which starts and ends by the front door. Oh, booking recommended!

Awful place. Can’t follow simple instructions in regards to food orders. Gammon arrived floating in greasy, black water. Even worse service! Definitely won’t be back! £170 bill and they didn’t even notice the untouched meal! Don’t even get me started on the toilets, I walked in and straight back out.

Came in for a last minute meal before enchanted forest. Ordered salmon prawn cocktail started absolutely amazing. Two mains rigatoni and half chicken amazing flavours very fresh will definitely come back!

We had four bowls of chicken soup for lunch at over £8 per bowl. The service was great and the atmosphere was good but the soup was a bowl of stock with a tiny amount of veg and even less chicken. It would have been more cost effective to give us a can of soup.

Very friendly service, very reasonable prices, cool ordering system (qr code). We ordered some pizza and was very good, no long waiting and freshly made.

Fantastic place where we stopped for lunch. Food was excellent with fresh, tasty and large servings. Joshua Huther looked after us. He was outstanding! It was great to see another friendly, Australian face. He dazzled us with his cocktail, the Strawberry Colada. It was absolutely delicious! Worth the time and effort he put into making it. Thanks Josh and the team for making our short time there so enjoyable.

The most unpleasant service in Scotland so far, they seem to wait tourists to treat them like sheeps. They didn’t want to give us cups to drink a coke for our order, when i have insisted they gave us just 1, as a courtesy i guess. Yelling numbers in the middle of a small room, but we were only clients that had ordered food in that moment. They simply enjoy the passage of tourists to make money. Food was good, especially shortbread.

A great wee find on the road back to the bnb when we both needed a caffeine pick me up, friendly service and a lot of choice so i had a fab caramel flat white with a toasted tuna melt and the gf had a chai latte and a millionaire shortbread , well recommended for really good coffee and lite bites and great service

Tourist trap with rude, racially biased rude staff – avoid. I would have given 1 or negative star, but Google might hide low ratings ⚠️Rude and arrogant staff. Charged £2.25 for hot water (cup is mine)without notice. Treated us with disrespect, while smiling warmly at white customers. Clear signs of racial bias. Deeply disappointing experience in a beautiful town. This happened yesterday. I was revisiting a scenic route I loved last year — full of anticipation and warm memories. But near the end of our journey, we were shocked and angered by how we were treated at this small café. Our tour bus stopped at the McKays/Pitlochry parking place, near the public toilets. There’s a small café called Mackenzie’s Coffee Shop, with an ice cream sign out front. Three white female staff were working inside. I ordered a £5 ice cream and politely asked if I could have some hot water. They said “Sure” — with no mention of any charge. Then I noticed the receipt: £2.25 charged just for the hot water. When I asked about it, the cashier replied coldly:“That’s what we charge for hot water.” I said, “I didn’t ask for coffee — and you didn’t tell me it would cost anything.” No apology. No explanation. Just a blank, dismissive face. She said if I had a problem, I could complain on their website. I told her I’d leave a Google review. Her smug reply: “Appreciate it.” What upset me more than the money was the way we were treated. My mother （60+）and I are East Asian. Throughout our time in the café, we were met with cold, impatient tones and unfriendly faces — while other white customers were greeted with smiles and warmth. It felt like we were being judged, looked down on, and brushed off — simply because of how we look. ⸻ This wasn’t just poor service. It felt personal. Discriminatory. In a charming town, this café was a painful contrast. ⚠️Avoid Mackenzie’s Coffee Shop. There are better places — with honesty and basic respect. ———————— Follow-up to the owner’s response: Your long and defensive reply only proves my original point — this establishment refuses to listen, refuses to reflect, and refuses to treat all customers equally. Let me state clearly what happened: • I bought a £5 ice cream and politely asked if I could have some hot water. • Your staff said “Sure” — no mention of any price. • Then I was charged £2.25 for hot water, which I only noticed as I tapped my card. And hot water price is not advertised on any price board. • When I asked for the receipt and politely questioned the charge, the cashier replied coldly: “That’s the price for hot water.” • I said, “But you never told me it costs anything.” She simply shrugged and said: “That’s what we charge — you can complain on our website.” No apology. No explanation. Just a blank face and a condescending attitude. Meanwhile, my mother, who is over 60 years old, sat quietly beside me. When she tried to speak up and express confusion, your staff looked away, ignored her, and responded with visible irritation. They showed zero patience, zero empathy, and absolutely no courtesy toward an elderly woman who was simply trying to understand the situation. In contrast, I clearly witnessed your staff smiling and greeting white customers with warmth during that same short visit. The difference in tone and treatment was undeniable. Instead of taking responsibility, your response paints us as abusive and entitled — which is false and frankly offensive. I never demanded free products. I raised a fair question about pricing and communication. That’s it. If your team was “abused,” it certainly wasn’t by us. What we received, however, was rude service, smug responses, and thinly veiled hostility — and now, a public attempt to discredit and silence us. But your refusal to reflect — and your decision to threaten reporting my review instead — says everything.

This place is AMAZING! I told the counter guy it was my mom’s birthday and he just sang her Happy Birthday. If I could, I would frequent this place everyday, the food is very good, but unfortunately I live in the other side of the world.

Great service, attentive staff. Breakfast was lovely, the ingredients tasted great and cooked well. Sausages were particularly good. Just a quick note on previous reviews not to dispute anyone's experience but we did not experience any sign of racism or hostility from any member of staff. They were all great, polite and friendly.

Pretty little coffee shop. No atmosphere. Lots of cakes to choose from.

We were just passing through when we stopped at this coffee shop. It is tiny but so cosy, we were welcomed in by a very friendly lady. It was our first Scottish breakfast ever and it was so good! Every product is fresh and local. The coffee was good! On our way out we took a strawberry smoothie, a raspberry smoothie and a home made shortbread to go. Also really delicious. I would absolutely recommend to go here!

Arrived and service was great from the start, ordered quickly as wasn’t too busy and drinks brought to us promptly, food wasn’t too long behind. It was professionally presented and looked Amazing. First time me and my daughter had tried Thai food, my daughter absolutely loved her Egg fried rice, my red Thai curry wasn’t to my taste but overall it was a decent serving. Pricey for what it is but the service was fantastic. Easy to find and a fantastic atmosphere

We had a wonderful time at The-Wee-Choo-Choo! The service was incredible and the food was fantastic. We had tried to book a table via open table but we didn’t receive a cooking confirmation so the booking wasn’t on the system but the staff managed to squeeze us in and we were very grateful! We will be back and would recommend to anyone thinking of booking in! First class service and food!

An absolute GEM in the middle of Scotland's Highlands. The setting is whimsical and fun, upscale without feeling stuffy, and there is love in every single item that comes out of the bar and kitchen. There is no better Thai curry. Do make a reservation, at least a day in advance if possible. We were one of the fortunate few to get to walk in and get a seat without one. Give 90 minutes if you're planning on attending the theatre after. There didn't seem to be an enforced dress code, but most people were dressed nicely, with button downs and dresses and such.

It’s a restaurant placed within one of the train carriages used in mission impossible movie where Tom cruise runs on top of this carriage! Good selection of Thai cuisine with very chatty waitresses. It was a great experience!

Really tasty food and amazing restaurant ! Family owned restaurant, mommy is the chef and dad & daughter "en salle" The owner is "aux petits soins" and very cool m. Definitely a nice stop when in Pitlochry. I recommend to book in advance :)

Wow! We enjoyed a fantastic dinner here while on holiday and wish the choo-choo could come visit us at home! The family that owns and operates the restaurant were lovely and prepare truly amazing Thai dishes. Both my wife and I devoured our massaman curries. Full of flavor, the meat was so tender really incredible. And the history of the train is super cool as well. A must visit if you’re in the area!

I was recommended here by a work colleague and decided to take my fiancé for his birthday as we love Thai cuisine. We were both enchanted by the setting and the food was the best Thai cuisine we had ever had, presentation and combination of flavours was amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful without it feeling like they were hovering or imposing on our time together. I highly recommend The Wee Choo Choo to anyone and we will definitely be back.

An excellent bakery and one of the few places open before 9am!! I got the brie and mango chutney roll and it was excellent!

Lovely little bakery tucked away behind Main Street in Pitlochry. Delicious goods. We had the pepperoni pizza, filled focaccia bread and danish pastry. Also bought a tin loaf to takeaway. All excellent. Friendly service. Seemed popular with the locals as well.

I was incredibly lucky to stumble upon this magical bakery at 11.45am this morning. Their pizza comes out at 12, I had the first slice. My life is forever changed. The finely sliced mushrooms, onions and courgettes are perfectly arranged for optimal tastiness. The pizza slice looks long, so your first thought may be “ it will have a soggy wet dough.” But No my friends.. this dough is crispy throughout!!! Every bite is just a reminder that artistry exists, and they make pizzas in this bakery. Thank you SO much!

Beautiful quaint bakery. The smell of freshly baked bread brought us here & we were not disappointed! Lovely staff, happy and super friendly. Cinnamon buns 10/10 and great coffee too! Highly recommend.

The focaccia bread is INCREDIBLE!! We passed through Pitlochry taking an hour to enjoy the town and we stopped in for some coffee. When we saw the fresh baked goods I knew I had to try something. I love focaccia bread but this was the best I've ever had! Chef's kiss!

Had the most delicious sammies here on a cold morning in Pitlochry. The pastries were also great.

Great pizza and latte, just what’s needed for a tired and hungry traveler.
