About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
The Kinneuchar Inn is a 17th-century pub and restaurant which champions great food in an intimate setting. We recently were awarded Best Local Restaurant in Scotland 2023 by The Good Food Guide.

We serve a daily changing 'a la carte' menu, based on ingredients sourced from the Balcaskie Estate and a handful of carefully curated partners. Our menus are seasonal and produce-led, aiming to highlight the quality of the ingredients.

Helmed by James Ferguson (formerly of The Connaught and East London eatery Beagle) and partner Alethea Palmer.

    Went to dinner with my Fiancé and we were intrigued by the specials menu. The asparagus soup was beautiful along with the tender 1/2 chicken to share. The food was amazing and delicious and will definitely come back again.

    A restaurant in the Michelin guide? My goodness no idea how it achieved that. I think it says it all when you walk into a restaurant and it’s so pretentious that no salt or pepper is on the tables. Lovely staff but it ends at that , no ambiance, one starter came out 20 minutes before the other which left one of us waiting . Mains then at least 35 minutes wait if not more after that . We ordered a side salad which was just mixed leaves, but no dressing or anything , no imagination at all . The fish was nice but nothing special . Drinks were good , but no dessert as we waited so long for food with the meal of two courses taking in excess of two hours for two courses . Only two of us for the meal , one was driving so no alcohol . The bill was in excess of £200 . Lets just say we won’t be back and i wouldn’t recommend any one else to either .
