Top 10 Bar food in Pitlochry, Scotland, United Kingdom
Find out what Bar restaurants to try in Pitlochry. Highland Perthshire places some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery within easy reach of both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and Pitlochry is the most geared-up base from which to enjoy it. It’s been a bustling mountain resort since the railways arrived in 1863, and these days manages to be both a cozy favorite for tourists who enjoy browsing in its woolen mills and taking in the repertory of plays at its famous Festival Theatre, and a magnet for adrenalin junkies in search of bungee jumping, canyoning, tubing and white water rafting adventures. Visitors of any age will be intrigued by the Pictish carvings on the huge Dunfallandy stone at nearby Ballinluig and, after a bracing mountain walk or visit to the famous salmon ladder, adults can enjoy a warming dram of malt whiskey after a tour at one of the two local distilleries, Edradour and Blair Athol.

Went here for lunch to celebrate my Dads Birthday. From the outside the place looked beautiful with brightly coloured hanging baskets. Unfortunately when we went inside it wasnât as nice. There was a foul smell when we entered the restaurant. The floors were dirty and the tables sticky. We went to read the menu and it was covered in sauce and juice. It had just opened for the day so there was no excuse for it to be so dirty. We had already ordered drinks by this stage so had them and left due to the cleanliness.

McKays, overall, is spot on......comfortable, cosy, friendly....lovely place to be!! However, the food prices are way too high for what you actually get e.g. we were there this weekend, looking forward to having dinner. The service was perfectly fine and the starters of Haggis Bon bons and Breaded Camembert were tasty enough, but we both ordered the Scampi for our main, which at nearly £15 each, was ridiculously high for the fact that both the scampi and the chips very much seemed to be just out of a bag and not very well cooked.We love Pitlochry and have no doubt we will be back at McKays, but probaby just for drinks only.

Sunday roast disappointing, overpriced, portions are small, advertised with "all the trimmings" ... what trimmings? They consist of a sort of ratatouille of vegetables that do NOT belong with a roast. And no gravy!! Lovely snug place, friendly staff, let down by poor food.

We were staying in Pitlochry for a week but didn't try this place for a meal till the end of the holiday - great pity! We chose from the cheaper meals in the conservatory but these were excellent and the place is very friendly. The grounds are lovely and the staff could not have been more helpful.Thoroughly recommend!Thank you for saying such nice things about your recent visit. I am so pleased you enjoyed your evening with us; perhaps next time you would like to venture into the restaurant? Is not that it's so much more expensive, it's just that we have a four course table d'hote menu so it may be that you don't like ot eat so much in the evening - I quite understand that.Either way we greatly look forward to your next visit to us, whenever that may be.With best wishes from Henrietta and all the team at The Killiecrankie Hotel

Situated a mere three miles from One of Scotland's most famous viewing points the historic Queens View, The Inn has breathtaking views of it's own to boast out across Loch Tummel. The Inn is the perfect place form which to explore the heart of Perthshire.

The views to this place are beautiful. The seating area in over the road from the pub itself with about 4 picnic tables.Service back at the very messy, full of empty glasses and plates bar, was slow. Prices are not cheap even though there is not much choice. The staff were pleasant, but they were obviously busy with a new screaming baby!!The menu again was not cheap but the food we had was lovely. The views make this place, but it's not for a cheap or average costed meal.Thank you for taking the time to write a review. However I must say this review has left me baffled. I think there are a few things to address is this review. The outside seating for the Inn consists of benches in our front garden across the road. We also have a beautiful terrace to the side of the Inn with further seating overlooking the Loch. The terrace is sign posted. Our team take great pride in where they work and allmaintain extremely high standards of cleanliness at all times. We are in the midsts of the summer season and we tend to be very busy with drinkers throughout the day due to the wonderful views you mention in your review. However glasses and plates are never left lingering unnecessarily. In regards to our drinks choices, please see below a list of our drinks: Soft: Coke / Diet Coke / irn bru / diet irn bru / lemonade / orange juice / tonic Mediterranean/ tonic regular/ san pelligrino orange/ san pelligrino lemon/ soda water/ ginger beer/ cawstons rhubarb and apple / cawstons ginger / appletiser/ elderflower cordial Wine: 28Champagne: 2Prosecco: 1Gin: 8. 7 (of which are Scottish) Vodka: 2Rum: 3 Larger on tap: 2Bitter on tap: 1Cider on tap: 1Pale ale(bottle): 1Larger (bottle): 1Cider (bottle): 1Whisky: 17 We also offer a plethora of different teas ranging from vanilla roibos to green tea, including mint tea with mint from our own garden. In regards to coffee, any of the usual cappuccino, latte, espresso, Americano etc etc are all on offer. Our hot chocolate is also a favourite with an optional (free) extra of whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. To round off our drinks list we have a select number of cocktails available including: Old Fashioned, Mojito, Espresso Martini.In regards to our prices, this is an interesting one. It is fair to say we are not the cheapest option available, however we are not trying to be the cheapest. We select our products carefully and as locally as possible. This means we often buy our products from small producers who do not produce in large quantities, therefore the price is increased slightly. For us, this is worth paying a bit more. We know where our products are from and how it was grown/reared. Finally, in regards to the âscreaming babyâ none of our staff members have children. I myself, do have a five month old, however I am currently on maternity leave and am not in service. I must say he is a very happy baby and if on the occasions he decides to play up luckily I live on site and am able to take him to our apartment. In regards to staff being busy with the baby, I can only imagine you are referring to myself, and in this respect I donât find being a mother has hindered my ability to run a successful country Inn. I do agree with you however regarding the views. They are magical. They are further complimented by the hard working team that make our customers experience worth while. If you would like to discuss any of the issues you have raised above further, please do not hesitate to contact me on [email protected] regards Alice Campbell-Calliva

We were on holiday in Pitlochry for the week and went to Drummonds twice the scampi and prawn marie was to die for. My husband had chicken stuffed with haggis which he says was amazing. We followed with sticky toffee pudding with custard mmmmmm yummy. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and the service was very quick. All cooked fresh as ordered. Well worth a visit.

Having been here once before we thought we would give it a try. Staff friendly and helpful and the restaurant was in a good clean condition. Slightly busy due to some American tourists but the staff appeared to cope well.The food on the other hand was not great. The game pie was over done and tasty only of red wine or something similar, the veg. was only blanched and rubbery at the same time. The 2 x lamb roasts were like leather and full of greasy fat, again the veg.was poor. The desserts we had were the treacle tart and they must have been the smallest portion on the planet.I wanted to complain but my wife and her friend refused to allow me tp that. Not recommended and we will not be back

Booking is advisable for this popular restaurant which offers seasonal dishes and offering Scottish produce. Located on the banks of the River Tay there is plenty to watch indoors and on the ever-changing and dramatic waters.We enjoyed the salmon tartare and game terrine for starters followed by the chicken burger and roast of the day. We were tempted by the desserts on offer but seriously could not do them justice. Such a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, cosy interiors and plenty of other points of interest within the vicinity. We will certainly be back when we visit the area same time next year.
