Scottish Restaurants in Muthill
1. The Glenturret Lalique Restaurant
Scottish restaurant in Crieff
The Glenturret Distillery, The Hosh - PH7
“Outstanding in every way” is the comment most often made this year regarding this “wonderfully well-spaced” dining room which is emerging as one of Scotland’s most notable dining destinations. “An hour and a bit by car, to the north of Edinburgh it is a formal space” attached to Scotland’s oldest working distillery “whose starched white tablecloths, shining wine glasses, and attentive staff signal that this is a touch of France transported to the southern Highlands” (and whose sponsorship means you are also “surrounded by everything Lalique”). Chef Mark Donald and his team offer a multi-course dining experience priced at £220 per person. The cuisine “impresses with its imagination” (“throughout the seven courses tastes were fantastic and the presentation immaculate and imaginative”). Numerous reports also include “a special mention for the sommelier Julien Beltzung: the wine pairings are fascinating and deeply thought out and the recommendations for the non-paired guests spot on”. “Service generally combines utter professionalism with approachability – a large team seamlessly integrated resulting in an incredibly attentive (but in no way oppressive) service throughout”. “Well worth a long, long trip!” Top Menu Tip – “the amuse bouche are inspired… by far the best Michelin-starred amuse bouche any of us had ever had (and we are regular visitors to starred restaurants)”.
2. Andrew Fairlie, Gleneagles Hotel
French restaurant in Auchterarder
“Hidden deep in the Gleneagles Hotel”, this formidable dining room is considered by many to be Scotland’s flagship venue for fine dining. Named for the late Andrew Fairlie, who passed away in 2019, its renown has been successfully maintained by chef Stephen McLaughlin, who has worked here since the restaurant first opened in 2001. There are à la carte options here, priced from £145 per person for three courses, or there is a ‘Degustation’ menu at £195 per person for seven courses – of the latter, feedback says that “every course is incredible” and there’s also “particular praise for the sommelier” Frenk Trouw and his “outstanding” advice. GM of 23 years, Dale Dewsbury, retired in 2025, to be replaced by Californian James Ashton, who’s been at the hotel for ten years.
3. Strathearn Restaurant
French restaurant in Auchterarder
The “fabulous” traditional dining room of this famous resort hotel – less aspirational than its near-neighbour Restaurant Andrew Fairlie – is still going strong after just over a century. Its modern Scottish cooking is certainly “not the cheapest”, but inspired consistently supportive feedback in this year’s annual diners’ poll. Recommendations include for “the best breakfast anywhere” and slap-up Sunday lunch.
