Lunch

Crieff Italian restaurant Delivino’s is a perfect for a lovely lunch out.
With a highly affordable menu, you can get a delicious starter and main for just over £10 (Patatas bravas £4 and an 11″ Margherita pizza for £7.50).
They also have a range of pastas, plus grazing platters if that’s your thing, and a few yummy desserts.
If – like my partner – cracking the crunchy topping of a crème brulée gives you an absurd amount of joy, you’ll have a great visit to Delivino’s restaurant in Crieff.

Another restaurant for a delicious lunch in Crieff is the Craobh Restaurant.
Their lunch menu includes a list of open sandwiches, including the mouth-watering steak, onion marmalade and cheese melt.
These are served on tiger bread but you can alternatively have this as a salad.
For something more filling, you could order their venison burger, with blue cheese and black pudding, served with fries.
They also serve truffle mac and cheese with garlic flatbread, which sounds gorgeous.
However, please note that their menu will be getting a makeover in the next few weeks.

For a savoury snack in Crieff, there’s The Crieff Food Co.

Their pork and black pudding sausage roll and pork and chorizo Scotch egg sound sensational.

Dinner
6pm to 8pm
For a fine dining experience that is both “luxurious” and “intimate”, visit the Glenturret Lalique restaurant at the Crieff distillery.
The two Michelin-starred restaurant doesn’t come cheap though, and dinner will set you back from a starting price of £195 per person.
But if it’s a very special occasion or you’re wanting to surprise a significant other or family member, it is worth saving your pennies for.
Head chef Glasgow-born Mark Donald is renowned for his culinary talents, and has worked in some of the best restaurants in the world.
Their senior sous chef at the Lalique is Alex Angelogiannis, who won National Chef of the Year in 2023.
Previous winners of this prestigious award include celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay OBE.
Dishes on their dinner menu include langoustines, lobster toddy and even a tattie scone.

Or for a taste of Italian cooking, you could visit KB’s Italian Restaurant.
Open since 2018, the family business serves up authentic Italian grub for very reasonable prices.
They also have a sister venue in Aberfeldy.
One of their most popular dishes is KB’s Special Calzone. This includes roasted eggplant spread, marinated tomatoes with garlic and fresh basil. Yum!
Why not finish your meal off with their homemade panna cotta?

Drinks

Cafe by day, bar by night, The Quaich is a great spot for finishing off your tour of the Crieff food and drink scene.
They serve lager and beers on tap, and have two cask ales which they change up.
The Quaich also boasts as many as 70 malts – which they say should “please the most discerning of whisky drinkers”.
