I just wanted to write a short post about our fantastic food experience yesterday at Duchally Country Estate, Perthshire.
Hubs and I spent the afternoon soaking away the weekly stresses in the pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi which were all lovely. The leisure facilities were quiet, clean and enjoyable and the wider estate was sleepy and visually appealing, styled in a modern country chic design.
However, the really impressive aspect of the estate for us, was the restaurant bar! Upon entry the restaurant looks nothing more than a well presented lounge with a small bar offering a wide selection of drinks and spirits on the left. We anticipated typical pub grub style food, which in many aspects was on offer, however for me the 'clean', tastey nature of this grub was what caught my attention and taste buds this most.
Simple dishes like seafood chowder, stuffed potato skins, beef burger and steak baguette are all too often ruined by lack of love, over cooking and drab side garnishes but here at Duchally Estate each dish tasted like the first of the day from Chef. Basic ingredients such as bread were light and fluffy with and outer crisp crust and even our shared side of onion rings were deep fried but not greasy! From homemade, thick cut chips to significantly sized side salads, "fresh" and "flavoursome" are the words I'd use to describe.
The catch? Well, the menu is a tad overpriced than most, but when you consider the surroundings and quality I'd more than recommend passing on your usual haunt this week and spending the extra on a truly special meal here. Take a look at what's on offer here for yourself: http://www.duchally.co.uk/restaurant/
