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.

    This is hands-down one of the greatest restaurants in Scotland. We couldn't have had a better lunch, or a better day.

    Our first time at the restaurant. Our server was very knowledgeable on the menu and the staff were friendly. The food is local and was very tasty. Would recommend the restaurant. There was definitely the feeling that as soon as you're finished -it's time to go. You are informed from their website on this - so it wasn't a complete surprise.

    Delicious lunch! I don’t think we can fault it. The Duck croquettes were so good, and my cod was perfect. Lovely staff and welcomed the dog in the bar. Cosy atmosphere.

    Service was a bit young, however food was absolutely class. Helpful service and a smaller wine list. Nonetheless, a great evening. Would recommend
