Restaurants · Blairgowrie
A proper sit-down spot rather than somewhere to grab a quick bite, but it handles families without fuss — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, free parking outside and level access if you're arriving with a pram. Walk-ins seem to get found a table quickly even at busy times, and the staff are warm and genuinely pleased to see people, which matters when you've got a restless child in tow. The steak pie has a serious reputation, the duck is cooked beautifully, and the soup of the day is proper comfort food; one parent called it "worth driving an hour and a half for". The deep-fried things are the weak link — the fish and chips can disappoint. Prices are mid-range and it's popular for celebrations, so book ahead at weekends. Check your bill: soft drinks and water can carry a charge.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
