Sitting at the heart of Dunkeld's bustling main drag, you could easily stroll past Redwood's unassuming, whitewashed frontage. Inside the village's former post office, the light, fresh space centres around a long banqueting table, a pair of oak-topped bars, and a few spots for smaller groups, all tucked in beside an enticing, eclectic wall of wine – a carefully curated selection that is overtly at the heart of Roseanna and Morgwn Preston-Jones' creation, and a hugely enjoyable part of any visit.  The menu may be concise, but the food is joyous. Alongside excellent renditions of wine-bar staples such as olives, local cheese and charcuterie, a duck liver mousse is silken and rich, while a salad of shaved carrot and marinated beetroot deftly balances sweetness with sesame, nigella seeds and bright citrus. Pasta features frequently. Fazzoletti might be served two ways: one plate of the thin, supple sheets slathered with a rich, earthy ragù; the other in peppery, creamy b...

Alongside excellent renditions of wine-bar staples such as olives, local cheese and charcuterie, a duck liver mousse is silken and rich, while a salad of shaved carrot and marinated beetroot deftly balances sweetness with sesame, nigella seeds and bright citrus. Pasta features frequently. Fazzoletti might be served two ways: one plate of the thin, supple sheets slathered with a rich, earthy ragù; the other in peppery, creamy borlotti beans and Grana Padano. During the day, their stacked, signature sandwich, made with homemade, stretchy, salty focaccia and filled with perfectly cooked, rare roast beef and tarragon aïoli, is as Instagram-ready as it is delicious. If you're nearby on the right weeknight, there's also the regularly sold-out 'Taco Tuesday' to consider.

Redwood is exactly the kind of place you long to see in your neighbourhood, offering a couple of glasses and a bite during the week, or promising a long, lingering supper with a bottle (or two) on a Saturday. But this isn't Leith, Finnieston or Dalston, where it would undoubtedly also thrive. This is Dunkeld.
