Dunkeld's finest, winner of our Best Local Restaurant award for Scotland in 2025, incarnates one of the more pleasurable ways of dining on today's restaurant scene. It's a smart eatery and wine bar in a bottle shop, with little tables amid the wine shelves, a list that's updated weekly, and a programme of daily tastings. Buzzy at lunchtimes, more intimate in the evenings, the place hits the right notes throughout, not least with Morgwn Preston-Jones' carefully considered dishes sourced from Perthshire farms, mills and homesteads. Start with a hunk of home-baked focaccia and charcuterie, before motoring on to wonderful silky pasta dishes or a hefty roast beef sandwich. Fully loaded sharing boards of cured meats, pâté and cheeses, to be mixed and matched with wines by the glass, add greatly to the sum of human happiness. Simple finishers such as ice creams, mousses and affogato add the right kind of closure, before you toddle away with a couple of choice bottles from the sho...

It is simply a very welcoming, warm, and comforting place to be. We have dined here on multiple occasions and every time we leave wanting to come back. The food is amazing alongside their great selection of wines. We love the ambiance whether it is buzzing during lunch or more intimate in the evenings. Quality with every visit!

Our experience was exceptional, we can't believe Dunkeld has such a fantastic little place like this. The chef/owner creates amazing food, we ate the house made charcuterie, hand made pasta with the most incredible meat balls. The wine selection is stunning and the overall ambience and experience world class.
