About Perth Arms Hotel
On High Street in Dunkeld, the Perth Arms Hotel is a pub with a menu built around the Dunkeld Hot Roast Salmon alongside chicken liver parfait and pork belly ribs. Salt and pepper chicken wings and roast lamb chump round out a list of 38 dishes, and the kitchen also turns out beef pies, fried chicken and beef burgers on hand-made buns, and toasties at lunch, plus scallops with bacon and miso fish. Ales are poured at the bar, and a fire burns in the room. Dogs wander freely on site. Service runs on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. An upstairs room hosts functions for larger gatherings.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the food, which they describe as far beyond typical pub fare, with the hand made chicken and beef burgers, a pie with beef that melted in the mouth, and the scallops with bacon and the miso fish named as highlights. Close behind are the toasties at lunch and a fish and chips takeaway eaten by the riverside. One group of coeliac guests had their first fried chicken experience because it was gluten free, and said you couldn't tell. Several praise the friendly bar staff, their humour, and the excellent beer and value for money. The atmosphere comes up repeatedly, with a roaring fire, a busy community feel, and dogs wandering about, which many call super dog friendly. A function held upstairs drew praise from booking through to the night itself. No recurring complaint appears, though one visitor only had time for a drink and regretted missing the food. A reviewer who had stayed in Dunkeld for 12 years only discovered the kitchen on a recent visit, and said they were back for more.

“Can't believe we've never eaten here until now! We've been coming to dunkeld for 12 years now and staying and haven't discovered the food here until now. Great food and best value for money in the whole of Dunkeld. It was so good we ate …”

“We were wonderfully looked after by the entire Perth Arms team when we held a function up the stairs. From booking through to the night itself everyone was top class. The food provided was top tier. Many of our group were coeliac and had their first fried chicken experience as it was GF (you couldn't tell!). Would highly, highly recommend!”

“An outstanding food experience—on par with top restaurants and something you’d never expect from a pub. We didn’t stay at the hotel; we simply came for an early dinner and were blown away. The scallops with bacon and the miso fish were exceptional—beautifully cooked, full of flavor, and truly restaurant-level. A genuine food gem.”
