Eating & Drinking

As the inaugural winner of Scotland’s Food Town in 2018, Perth is renowned for its delicious selection of cafes, restaurants, tea rooms and award-winning chefs. This love of good food can be found across the entire region, from world-class restaurants to simple, wholesome street food.

Add to this the growing number of distilleries, breweries and tap rooms, and you’ll soon discover why our abundant area is a must-visit destination for food lovers from around the globe. Perthshire also boasts two of Scotland’s Michelin Star Restaurants - Andrew Fairlie @ Gleneagles and The Lalique at Glenturret – and the UK’s only vegan hotel with fine dining experience - Saorsa 1875 in Pitlochry.

There is a strong commitment to creating menus using locally produced ingredients and from the sausages in your breakfast roll to the foraged herbs on your rosette-starred meal, you will find the flavour of Perthshire runs deep.
