What an unexpected yet delightful find! Right on the main road in Perth's city centre is this…read morescrummy little restaurant that hits all the high notes: good lighting, good service, good food, and--every Scottish person's favourite--good *value.* When you walk in the decor is sort of sumptuously hip, with unapologetically bright red accents and a bold print of the Paris Metro on the wall. You are greeted immediately by a cheerful and charming server--the kind who can be friendly without seeming intrusive and enthusiastic without seeming phony. The menu is adventurous and authentic, with specials that include the likes of frog's legs. It is a joy to find a restaurant that doesn't kowtow to local tastes but instead does what it says on the culinary tin. The chef really knows his stuff and delivers bold, rich, FRENCH flavours that melt in your mouth. But be forewarned--the portions are also authentic. A bit smaller than what you might normally find in a Scottish restaurant. But as French food is swimming in fat, that's probably a good thing. The pre-theatre menu is a steal, but if you miss that there is also a standing tasting menu where you can get any three courses for 19.99. The portions are a bit smaller than the a la carte, but the price is right. There are also small carafes of wine on offer, for those nights when you want a bit more than a glass but not a whole bottle. (What nights are those?) Should you find yourself in Perth, make a reservation at this deservedly popular little gem.

Willows is a bit of an establishment in Perth. This doesn't necessarily work in it's favour…read more While it can't be beat in town for outdoor seating, with it's next door view of the historic St John's Kirk and the cobble stone streets surrounding the controversially derelict city hall, Willows is nowhere near my top places to visit in Perth for anything other than enjoying Suki Tea on a sunny day. And while the outdoor seating is lovely it is overshadowed by the unambitious decor inside. The lunch sandwiches are so-so. My high expectations were let down quite quickly once seeing their slightly more visually appealing than average coronation chicken sandwich. It tastes as good as it looks... just ok. The only redeeming factor for me is that they serve Suki Tea, which I love. But while they serve it in Suki Tea pots, the cups are something out of your gran's favourite cafe... you know the one, it usually serves generic tea bags in a small metal pot with a flat lid that doesn't pour properly. I'll continue to visit here on dry summer days for the outdoor seating, but I have no need to try the food again. Perth is a place of average expectations and Willows meets these.

While away on a weekend of debauchery with the other half's brass band, I found out that one of his…read morefriends from Uni lived in the area and that we were going to meet up with him for lunch. Right, so I was in charge of finding a place. To be honest, there's not much Yelp help in Perth, but I did find this place, which seemed reasonable (and cheap), and could probably take the six to eight of us who were going to go to lunch. (As the location I tried before was unlikely to be able to fit us all in). The pub is very nice! It seems like it's not really going to be there, but all of a sudden you happen upon it. It's also a pub that does table service. Which is a bit odd, but also kind of nice when you're waiting for people. Four people had pies (fish, steak and ale, and chicken and ham) and they all really seemed to like them. The other half and someone else had the Balmoral chicken (chicken with bacon and haggis), and they both raved about it. I had the tex-mex burger (a chili burger with onion rings, cheese, and a spicy sauce), and I was very impressed with how spicy everything was (one of my pet peeves is seeing "spicy" on the menu and the food not being at all spicy). The pub itself is quite spacious and has an outdoor seating area (if that's your thing, which in November, it's definitely NOT my thing). If we're back up for the band competition next year, we may have to stop in again.

The Twa Tams is one of the many places my love and I went for a pint and a bite to eat while we…read morewere in Perth on holiday. We decided to make a night of it one night, and ordered food and drinks while waiting for a band to play. We were able to book a table and asked to be seated close enough to the stage so that we could enjoy the band. The band of the night was a band called Tunna (pronounced Ton-a) who were a Celtic band. My boyfriend is pretty particular about his music, but we quite enjoyed ourselves, even though we only stayed for half the set. It was a really loud set up, and we decided the next time we make our way to Perth and happen upon this place, we'll ask to be sat a bit farther away. The food was pretty spot on. We ordered some chicken wings to start which were absolutely delicious and it came with the best BBQ sauce I'd ever had. I meant to ask what kind it was, but forgot. For the mains, he ordered a burger with haggis on it, which came with chips and I ordered the gourmet chili dog, without jalapenos which also came with chips. We also ordered onion rings to share, which I thought were pretty gross. They reminded me of the frozen ones you can get out of Morrisons that are basically minced onion in a battered ring. Yick. All in all, the staff was pretty amazing. Very tentative and waited on us at our tables. That's the first time I'd ever been in to a pub and had table service. We had two different people wait on us, and it was pretty great. They had one of my favourite ciders available (spiced apple) and we also had a voucher for a fiver off, just for joining their email on their website. There is an outdoor patio area with loads of seating for eating and drinking. Pretty great once the weather gets a bit warmer! If we're ever in Perth again, I'm sure we'd stop back by Twa Tams! It's great time!

It isn't huge - seats around 60 so booking would be advisable. It has a real cosy feel inside with very good humoured and friendly staff.

Portion sizes were adequate - I had scallops and only expected two or three but when my starter arrived there were six on the plate. The restaurant is open from nine with last orders at nin pm nine - a little later on Fridays and Saturdays. You can visit for a coffee, a light lunch or a full evening meal.

A young, 16 year old girl, who was so excited to hear that I was from LA. So cute. Ask for Zori if you go. And the owner, Craig, couldn't have been nicer. He even gave me a book of Scotland that had been left behind and been sitting at his restaurant for awhile. He may not be giving out anymore books if you check it out, but he will definitely welcome you with a smile!
