Customer Reviews

  We had a super lunch from the 2 course menu which is very good value. The restaurant felt very safe and staff were friendly and very observant of safe service.... read more We all had ‘posh fish and chips’ - halibut in a very light batter. Delicious!

There was a big choice of dishes and as always, beautifully cooked and presented.

We were able to relax and enjoy a feeling of normality at this challenging time and I would thoroughly recommend Littles to others.

  Delicious seafood lunch in beautiful (and cosy) converted church. Everything was excellent. Staff helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to return.

  A very good experience . Both our meals well cooked and presented and staff very helpful. Staff most helpful and if you like seafood and are in the area this... read more place is a must

  Was recommended this place by the owner of Ivy Bank Lodge . Booked and arrived a little early so had a drink to start . Was shown to a table... read more , all Covid great . Had oysters for starters , fab , love oysters , really plump . Then as a main I had baked Orkney Crab . Again great . My husband had skate wing , a little on the small side but still good with almonds . Finished sharing some cheese , liquor coffee , and fudge . Love a fish restaurant. Enjoyable meal

  Visited this old church to take photos and discovered it is now a pub/restaurant. Sat outside in the sun with wine and when it got cold moved inside to the... read more cosy bar with wood burning fire.

  Me and my family visited Little’s Restaurant on the 3rd of October and we were not disappointed. The Starters, Mains and Desserts were Phenomenal, taste and presentation 10/10. Table service... read more were very friendly and knowledgable.

We will definitely be returning

  Bar and Restaurant actually same place- needs to advertise Bar a bit more. Great Scones- best of weekend. Staff lovely in Barries Bar- same staff in Restaurant. Tip- Look after... read more drop in guests same as obvious regulars who were rude and loud from Restaurant but clearly throwing cash around.

  Service was prompt, courteous helpful and patient with us. My wife has specific diet limitations which were perfectly respected.
I don't profess to be an expert, but the food... read more I had would deserve a Michelin star, it was beautiful. Big 'up' to the kitchen.
We had the intimate atmosphere we wanted for our wedding anniversary.
I thought you could only fillet flatfish, but my halibut steak was beautiful
Downside, I'm from Yorkshire and your beer is rubbish 🙂 Seriously 10 out of 10

  Visiting Blairgowrie for a couple of days and checked out the local restaurants and Littles rated high and luckily we managed to get a table, pre-booked on the day. ... read more />
Goats Cheese Tart was superb
As was the fish of the day with sautéed potatoes and veg. Everything cooked to perfection. Nothing negative and thats unusual for me.
Breaded haddock also cooked perfectly.
Creme Brûlée amazing and home cooked shortbread to die for! 10/10.

I admire all the staff rushing around all night wearing their masks - don’t know how you do it but it is appreciated!

We will be back for sure!

  Came here for an early dinner to meet a friend who was staying in Blairgowrie. Quality of the food was excellent, great fish and chips and my scallops were exceptional.... read more Service was also top notch and staff were very attentive and helpful, which was great as we had our 19-month-old in tow. Will definitely be paying a visit again next time we're in Blairgowrie.

  Staying on a local caravan park with nowhere to have a drink we used the local river for an evening walk, we saw this place during the day as they... read more had a marquee on the front lawn. Thankfully it was warm enough not to have the fire pit on. Staff came out took order, brought the drinks and used contactless payments to make the visit stress free. Dog friendly outside and water for the dog.

  I always make Littles my restaurant of choice when planning a special meal and this choice was no different when we eventually ventured out of lockdown. The quality of food... read more is always of a high standard but we did notice that the portions had shrunk and the prices have increased which is disappointing.

  This was a very nice restaurant very airy space it was an old converted Methodist church.
the quality of the food was very high. This fish restaurant is a must... read more visit if you are in the area.

  Fantastic service and food.
Was on tour and up at John O’Groats the night before. Due to little phone signal, left a message asking for a reservation and they kindly... read more sent a text to confirm, as requested. Wonderful use for an old church and sympathetically decorated. Ambience was relaxed and unhurried with all the staff being attentive and not obtrusive.
Excellent choice of dishes. Will heartily recommend you all.

  My husband and I were a little nervous about venturing back into restaurants but what a perfect choice Little’s was. Completely Covid secure and the interior lends itself well to... read more creating a spacious and socially distanced environment without feeling cold or austere. Food was amazing - would highly recommend crab rarebit followed by prawn and monkfish risotto. My husband had fishcakes followed by lemon sole, all of which were fantastic. Great service, beautiful location.

  We had a lovely meal at Littles. We had looked at the menu online and then when we arrived there was a HUGE specials menu. It was brilliant- I had... read more skate wings and my partner had a fish casserole with fish sausage (yes.. sausage!). The space was really big and social distancing was easy. The restaurant didn't have much of an atmosphere but I think this was to do with the current circumstances surrounding no music etc.

We dined using the Eat Out To Help Out Scheme.... great to get 50% off but I think that it would've been pretty pricey without this promotion. Still fab quality.

  Yet another excellent visit and meal at this great fish based restaurant.
The atmosphere is very relaxed and there is no rush by the staff to get your orders, they... read more let you settle in before approaching the table for orders.

The wine list is expensive, but of good quality. The menu is varied and well priced, with the "specials board" always being full of mouth watering fish dishes.

The servings are very generous and I recommend the skate whenever it is available - superbly cooked and always has plenty of fishmeat to enjoy.

The staff are vey good and attentive and ready to discuss your personal needs as to choices and accompaniments.

My only complaint woud be the fact that my wife, who is a vegetarian coeliac, was not really catered for, despite maing this clear when the table was booked.
One minute it was to be a vegetable surprise, then when it was served it was a rissotto cake, with no vegetables at all and tepid! I would point out that I have said NO to getting a good gluten free meal, but those who eat fish would be able too, of course.
This does seem to be a problem wherever and whenever we eat out, so not just a "Littles" problem - however, for those amongst us fortunate enough to have no food allergies whatsoever, I would recommend this establishment 100% and list it as one of my all time favourite places to eat.

  The dark haired young lady who seemed to be front of house was unhelpful and rude to the point where all four of us considered walking out. Thankfully the rest... read more of the staff were friendly and efficient. Despite some uninspiring touches the food was generally good but at the prices charged it should have been better.

  Given circumstances globally Littles is well covered on their social responsibility. From entrance to leaving Covid was catered for but not overpowering.food was all first rate and service was always... read more with a polite smile

  Dropped in for a drink with a view to possibly eating later. Didn't get a particularly warm reception and generally the staff were a bit stand- offish.
It was enough... read more to decide MOT to eat there despite the fact that Thier menu looked excellent. Must try harder.

  My husband and I had dinner here on 8/08/2020 and it was delicious.
Everything was perfectly cooked seasoned and present. The freshest most delicious seafood. We had the Langoustine, Mussels,... read more Calamari and Lemon Sole.

The restaurant itself is pretty cool too.

Hopefully will get another visit before moving back to Australia.

  Little’s restaurant was absolutely gorgeous! I love how the restaurant is inside a church and I love the stained glass! We visited twice, sat both inside and out, and it... read more was lovely one thing I’d say they would need to improve on is that there was no kids menu. Halving the portions is ok, but I think the foods are a bit too fancy for kids. But other than that it was beautiful, I’d totally recommend.

  Went with my wife while staying at a nearby hotel. Despite the covid restrictions in place probably killing the atmosphere slightly, the food was amazing, service was amazing, and all... read more over a great experience.

  Had lunch here today for the first time and it was absolutely delicious.
All 3 of us had starters and main courses which were all so tasty and beautifully cooked.... read more /> We finished off with 2 desserts between the 3 of us and coffees and again so tasty and enjoyable.
Will definitely be returning.

  Ate here tonight for first time. No atmosphere, food was lovely. Be prepared though to pay nearly £9 for bog standard glass of rose and nearly £6 for nip and... read more mixer. No need to rip people off with drink prices.

  First visit for lunch and will definitely return. Great food well cooked and beautifully presented. Great service too.

  We had cosy delicious lunch in Borries bar. Food excellent and staff were lovely and attentive. Would absolutely recommend. Angela

  Good food, beautifully cooked and presented. Wide range of seafood dishes, as well as other mains. Cocktails were delicious. Good atmosphere in the building, not as cavernous as you would... read more imagine an old church to be. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.

  Visited for the second time for an anniversary treat. Food was delicious and inventive. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Service was great and church setting is... read more unique. For a romantic meal the lights are quite bright so some dimmer areas with candles would be nice.

  Lovely restaurant, recently moved into an old church which they managed to heat extremely well. Excellent service and very nice food.

  Went in to book a table the day before but was full. Was assured that if we came about 8.30pm they would try there hardest to fit us in. They... read more did. A lovely table in the corner of a superbly renovated church. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming. The food was exquisite. Seafood was the main theme but there was meat options and vegetarian choices too. There was a valentine's set menu but we were able to mix n match from all menus and from the specials board. We had the calamari and prawn cocktail for starter and cod with smoked salmon risotto and a scallop n black pudding with chorizo pizza for mains. Good size portions. In fact couldn't finish pizza. During our meal I was presented with a red rose. Well as I said it was Valentine's Day. Just little touches like that made the whole experience exceptional. My only critique was that the plate that the pizza is served on is metallic and when cutting the knife scrapes. Bit like finger nails down a blackboard. Wouldn't bother everybody but if like me it does ask for a different plate. An amazing experience and would highly recommend

  First visit and hopefully not our last. The old church has been renovated to accomodate a large open restaurant and little quiet bar all tastefully done using the existing structure... read more to great effect. Only criticism is the lighting is a little bright. The menu is varied with fish being predominant, excellent selection to choose from. The food is beautifully presented and flavoursome. Once you've finished your meal you can move through to the bar for coffee and drinks. Would recommend for a special occasion.

  Absolutely beautiful surroundings. Good food. No scallops and pink gin not in gin glass with raspberries which was a bit of a let down x didn’t spoil night though .... read more Quite expensive but worth it

  I can't recommend Little's enough. That's all that needs to be said... Oh, Tripadvisor needs me to say more - just go!

  Great choice on the menu and specials - particularly if you like fish.
Good atmosphere in a beautifully renovated chapel building.

  We took a punt on a night stop in Blairgowrie and booked dinner at this restaurant. It was a good punt! The entire experience was first class, the service was... read more superb, the property was unique and delightful and the food was the best surprise of all. The meal was simply first class; delicious, brilliantly presented local ingredients and fresh as it comes, possibly the best seafood i have ever had. This was so good I will seriously consider making a special trip just to go back to eat here. If you get a chance you should try it too.

  Fantastic meal this evening . The food was excellent in a great atmosphere . Spot on attention to detail. Highly recommended . Great for all young and old .

  We arrived late on a Friday afternoon and no only did they take a pre-order, they waited as traffic was bad. Above and beyond, and all done with a smile.... read more Thank you so much, we had a wonderful lunch

  I left this restaurant feeling ashamed, unwelcome and embarrassed after the tall, older, male waiter made a passive aggressive comment to me saying "you need to control your children". We... read more were out having lunch with our two kids who are five and two and understandably they found it difficult to sit still so while we were eating, they were playing. The two other waitresses were very friendly with my girls and even one of the chefs waved at my little one from the kitchen. There was only two other tables of diners and they didn't seem to be bothered by my children but the waiter obviously was but rather than come and speak to me to address what he thought of as unruly behaviour he made a comment as he walked past me. I highlighted what he said to another member of staff who was genuinely apologetic. I just hope that he receives some training in customer service especially in dealing with families with children.

  Our Christmas Eve December’19 lunch at Little’s was our first real meal in Scotland and it was great. From the beginning, the outward presentation of an old Methodist church, to... read more the inside view of beautiful stained glass windows and general church layout, to the food and staff, it was a great “first meal” experience. The waiter and waitress who served us was quite accommodating to our “American tourists” questions about the food and building. I forget now what I ate, but I do remember I ate all of it, as did my wife and mom. Blairgowrie is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the visit, as is a meal at Little’s.

  We visited for dinner mid week. The restaurant occupies a former church building and this provides an interesting setting for a meal.

We ordered a mixture of starters... read more and mains and across the board the food was very fresh and cooked to absolute perfection!

The prices are relatively high for the area but definitely worth paying that bit extra for the quality.

All in all: an exceptional meal 🙂

  We once again enjoyed the set price menu. A la carte would have been significantly more expensive. The food was excellently prepared and the staff efficient. The setting of a... read more deconsecrated Methodist church may not be to everyone's taste as the room is rather cavernous. That being said, the for is excellent.

  Truly wonderful food and service, just nothing to fault and clearly the number one restaurant in the area, so glad we visited

  Specialises in fresh sea food, prices can be on the high side, but the quality has never been compromised. Well worth a visit.

  Well worth a detour if you don’t live locally. Fish restaurant in a converted Baptist church. Owner is a fishmonger and fish (Kinlochbervie and Scrabster of highest quality.
Starter of... read more crab rarebit delicious. Ditto the lemon soul with banana and mango to follow.
Not cheap, fish never is, but at less than £80 for three of us, with well deserved gratuity, will be back.

  Located in a beautiful repurposed church, this restaurant and its separate bar area were a culinary highlight of our recent 3 week travels in Scotland.

We enjoyed an... read more excellent seafood meal here. All the seafood is sourced in Scotland by fishermen known to the chef owner. The quality is superb. The creative chefs put together a glorious dinner for us. We started with langoustines and finished with John Dory. Both courses were delicious and beautifully prepared and presented to us. They have an excellent wine menu to compliment and complete their dishes. A must go if you are staying in the area.

  Spent another week exploring the hills and moors around the delightful town of Blairgowrie . A real treat for us is to visit Little’s for a beautifully cooked piece of... read more fish (this is a speciality but there are other options) and then to walk across town to The Stormont on Perth Rd for a wee dram on the way back to our accommodation.

  Not the best unfortunately. Great service but the food needed mor care. Risotto with the fish was like a rice pudding, with no distinct savoury taste, and the cheesecake was... read more more like a mousse, very soft and the base was wet, more butter than biscuit.

  This birthday lunch while on a short break to the area was a revelation. Beautiful building inside and out. Warm welcome, great service, yes yes but it's all about the... read more food and oh my the food. Check out the daily specials board. Perfectly cooked fish and seafood, the most wonderful fresh bread. We struggled to choose from all of our options and the only disappointment was having to leave. Seriously impressed. Can't wait to return.

  Stayed in Blairgowrie for two nights ,went here for dinner and it was so good we booked for the following night before we left the restaurant.
The food is fantastic,... read more the staff are friendly and welcoming . Everything thing you would expect from a top class restaurant.

  Absolutely marvellous evening . Food was second to none , well deserved listing in Good Food Guide !!
I thought they could provide an option of a good House... read more Wine and turn the lighting down a tad , apart from that definitely will be back and what a treat Blairgowrie has having this in their doorstep .
You must go !!!!
Sorry no photos of food , too busy enjoying it

  if you like fish, this is the place for you. If, like me, fish does not like you, this is also the place to go! A very enjoyable evening with... read more friends and family, even my fussy sister in law enjoyed herself!

  A lovely restaurant in an old church. Selection on the menu was very good, varied and mainly dependent on the catch of the day

  Fell upon this place quite by accident. Remarkably warm on a cold day considering the restaurant sits within a converted church. For starters I had salted cod mousse with langoustine... read more tails pickled with cloves and star anise. I needed extra bread to wipe every morsel from my plate........ absolutely delicious. Then had smoked king scallops served with a seafood selection. Did worry that the smoke flavour would hinder the sweetness of the scallops but so subtle it was a triumph. Again practically licked my plate clean. If I had to find fault I would simply say that “straw fries” are not my favourite version of cooked potato. My wife’s goat cheese bonbons for starter and cheese soufflé were also equally well received. The service is relaxed but confident in the produce crafted in the kitchen. The pride and enthusiasm of the staff is palpable. All in all a very pleasurable and memorable experience. Without being too disrespectful to Blairgowrie, if this restaurant was located in any other major town/city there would be a 6 month waiting list!

  Came with the in laws for their 40th wedding anniversary after reading the amazing reviews but we didn’t seem to get the service other people experienced.

The food was... read more incredible, can not fault that at all! But we finished our wine half way through our main course, were hoping to buy another bottle and were left waiting for an hour! We then finished our mains and wanted desert but were worried it wasn’t worth the effort of waiting that long. Trying to get served ended up being all we talked about for a significant portion of the meal and it deflated the experience significantly.

It was probably just an off night though, and as I said, food was still amazing.

  We have been coming to this restaurant since it opened and each experience has has been absolutely fantastic. We recieve a warm welcome from the restaurant manageress Helen who always... read more greets us with a cheery smile and a friendly word. Herself and her team always take great care of us and make us feel at home. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them.
The food is freshly prepared and magnificently presented. I often struggle to choose what to have from the menu as all of the options are so tantalising.
Restaurants like this are hard to come by and I will certainly be returning in the near future. Well done to all the team

  We went on Saturday and can categorically say that the place is brilliant: they have done a great conversion of the church. The food and service is excellent and I... read more shall certainly be back!

  Not going to go through the whole rigmarole. As usual our whole experience was as always without fault. My only difficulty with Little's is making my choice a small but... read more ever changing menu. This time, fish or game, fish won, the last Grouse had flown. Prior to this I had Sea Urchin soup with Cams,worth visiting for that alone.

  Amazing lunch at Littles Restaurant. 10/10 meal had by us all - Would highly recommend to others. Friendly staff and amazing service. We will definitely be back

  Excellent meal. Quirky setting with a lovely riverside church conversion. Will return as only 40 mins from home
