Restaurant Andrew Fairlie

★★ Michelin££££Modern French

Hidden away in the depths of the world-famous Gleneagles Hotel, this intimate restaurant has a luxurious classical elegance, courtesy of dark wood walls, clever lighting and colourful food-themed art. The philosophy and spirit of the late Andrew Fairlie live on in refined cooking with a French heart and a Scottish soul. Superb produce, much of it from the kitchen garden, is combined with exemplary classical technique – which is most evident in the outstanding sauces, from a punchy Bordelaise to a glossy lamb jus. The service brilliantly balances formality with friendliness.

Coorie Inn

£££Modern British

There’s a lovely blend of the old and the new at this former 18th-century coaching inn. Original features from beams to brickwork sit side by side with modern comforts and contemporary chic, all united by a lovely rustic style. The menu contains some flashes of Scottish pride, largely in the quality seasonal produce fashioned into fresh-tasting dishes such as North Sea crab with cucumber, apple and chives. Comfortable boutique bedrooms are available, making a glass of single malt whisky in the cosy bar all the more appealing.
