Perthshire

Where to eat in Perthshire.

Perthshire is a wonderful place to eat, with soft fruit from its fields, beef and lamb from its farms and salmon from its rivers. You'll find cosy tearooms that have been baking scones for years, speciality coffee roasters, much-loved bakeries, and old coaching inns and country houses serving dinner worth the drive. Many sit in pretty towns along the Tay, so it's easy to plan a day around lunch. Book ahead for dinner, especially in summer and at weekends.

Issue 04Spring / Summer 2022

Matilda Ruffle, the sommelier who runs Killiecrankie House in Perthshire with her chef husband Tom Tsappis, believes dinner is better when guests stay the night.

Their restaurant with rooms stands above the Pass of Killiecrankie. Staying over means that instead of arriving, eating and rushing off into the night, guests have time to explore the area, visit a distillery, stroll round the kitchen garden or join a whisky tasting at the bar. Each of these, she says, helps set the scene for the meal to come. As she puts it, 'It means that you are not just going out for dinner, you are heading somewhere and immersing yourself in it'. Tom cooks a tasting menu full of home-grown and locally sourced produce, and Matilda pairs it with drinks that run from wine to sake and cocktails.

Blair Atholl Watermill, in Highland Perthshire, is the country's oldest watermill, and it is fully working again after falling silent in the 1920s.

The mill dates back to the late 16th century. It fell out of use in the 1920s and stood idle for decades, until restoration began in the 1970s. Today this handsome old mill is still fully functioning, stone-grinding oatmeal and flour in the traditional manner for its own tearooms. It sits in the village of Blair Atholl, on the edge of the wide forested estate of Blair Castle, a whitewashed colossus whose visitors once included Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Tickled Trout Café.

Despite opening in the middle of a pandemic, the refurbished Tickled Trout Café has earned a reputation for offering quality homemade fare in a building with oodles of character. It’s based in an old mill at a trout farm – a water-channel actually runs right through the building – and the homemade smoked trout pate is a signature item.
