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 repeatedly single out the beef pie as a standout, one describing it as melting in the mouth, while others point to the hand made bun burgers and beef toasties at lunch. Close behind, one diner praises the scallops with bacon and miso fish as restaurant level, and another recalls a function upstairs where the gluten free fried chicken impressed a group of coeliac guests. Fish and chips taken away for a riverside picnic also earns praise as delicious. Several note the dog friendly atmosphere, roaring fire, and welcoming bar staff, with more than one calling it a hub of the community and good value for money. One visitor made only a quick pint stop and didn't get to try the food but found the place spotlessly clean and the beer excellent. No recurring complaints appear among the reviews.

“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.”
