  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

  Mostly good, but portion size on the small side and overpriced.

Haddock and chips - fish was very nice but chips pale and soft, not remotely crispy. Salad leaves... read more were just that, undressed green and some not so fresh. At £16.95!

Other dish was a special of John Dory with purple potatoes and mushroom. This was a nice dish however portion of fish was very small as a main course. £22.50 which would be reasonable had the portion been a little more generous.

Couldn't fault dessert and service was fine. Probably wouldn't make a return visit.

  Managed to get in for an evening meal at the last minute. Had a few drinks in the bar area which is a very pleasant and relaxing area.
The... read more staff were very friendly and attentive and answered all of our questions regarding the menu. Every aspect of our meal was delicious and it was hard to actually decide what to have as it all sounded amazing.
We will definitely return when in the area.

  Fabulous seafood in a fabulous atmosphere. This converted church provides a 1st class atmosphere to dine. The comfortable surroundings and attentive staff, add to the high quality food on offer.... read more The owner/head chef came to all
The tables to speak to his guests to make sure we were all happy, a nice touch. There are a couple of non fish dishes, but if your not a fishy person look elsewhere. For us, we love seafood so this is a “Little” piece
of heaven. Well worth another visit soon.

  Worth the drive from Broughty Ferry . Restaurant was recommended to us and we were not disappointed . The food was cooked beautifully and the service excellent . Beautiful but... read more different surroundings in a converted church .

  Went for dinner here last week on the recommendation of our hotel owner. Place is a converted church done very well. Lighting was a bit bright for my liking but... read more didn’t detract from the ambiance. They were not very busy so we were able to mix and Nat h a little from the menu. We had lobster risotto and mussels with fries and the food was fabulous. Great choice of dishes on the menu and service was good and relaxed. Go there if you are in the area.

  Visited Little’s with 3 friends for a late afternoon Sunday lunch. Open all day Sunday so no time pressure which was appreciated. Restaurant is in a converted church so bags... read more of character and a really good menu that includes a wide range of seafood. Food was excellent, as was the service, all unhurried and unobtrusive. Restaurant and toilets very clean and well appointed, also with car parking and a separate bar area for drinks or bar lunches if you don’t fancy a meal. We’ll be back very soon!

  I came here recently with family for a 60th birthday meal. We had a room cornered off and had our own wait staff. The restaurant apparently is mostly a fish... read more restaurant but I was delighted to find veggie options on the menu. Food was delicious, I would recommend although I personally wouldn't go again

  The location, in a converted church is beautifully done, much like the food.
We had Pigeon Breast with Black Pudding and Baked Crab Gratin to start. Followed by Scallops and... read more Lobster Risotto and Prawn and Monkfish Pasta. They were all to die for but the portions were not large so we shared an Elton Mess (which was easily enough for 2).

Finding a superb seafood restaurant in Blairgowrie was a lovely surprise. But you do need to book, we went on a Thursday evening and we could only get an early table at 6:30.

  I'd been iffy about Littles since a disappointing experience a few years back. We finally tried the new restaurant and found we have been missing out. The new building has... read more been converted really tastefully. The food is really good starting with the pre starter nibbles. Very busy, so not fast, but really worth it.

  We were driving between the castles and abbeys, and felt like Blairgowrie was our best bet for a good lunch, and ended up at Little's. Housed in an old church,... read more the vibe is rather interesting. The stained glass window is really nice, but when we were there it was mostly empty, so a little disconcerting. Overall, our meal was really solid, not amazing, but I felt it was very good for where we were. The calamari was just calamari, but I will say that the stuffed crab and the pigeon breast were both spectacular, and highly recommended. The net is, if you are in the area when it's time for lunch/dinner, you will not be disappointed at Little's.

  First time out here and loved it. A great selection of well-prepared meals. Nice atmosphere and at a good price. We will be back with our family.

  Little;s restaurant offers good quality, interesting food - mainly fish, but with some meat options as well. In addition to the menu there was an extensive specials board. The fish... read more dishes all offered something new and appealing - we could have chosen several dishes all of which caught (!) our eye. The service was prompt and friendly without being excessive or intruding. The venue (a converted church) was really well done, keeping many of the original features, and was warm as well!

  Carefully prepared dishes with fresh ingredients and sometimes surprising taste combinations. Professional and friendly service

  Went for a wee meal, but fell for the exciting menu. Ordered halibut, monkfish ao. So nice serverings and tastefull dishes. Presented lovely. Deserts are very good and the surroundings... read more I this old church is magnificent. We will be back this restaurant should be on rge Michelin guide.

  Had dinner in Little's on a family holiday. Three generations to please. The church is simply decorated and has plenty of atmosphere without being noisy. There was music playing in... read more the background when we arrived but when they place started to fill up this was either switched off or I just stopped noticing.
The list of specials on the blackboard was nearly as long as the menu. Lots of fish dishes, of course, but also steaks, pizzas and veggie options. They were also happy to adapt dishes for non-meat eaters.
My main was Halibut which was plump, firm and fresh and delicious. My wife's scallops were enormous and, she says, perfect.
We barely had space for pudding but I managed to squeeze in a sticky toffe pudding, which was very nice.
Service was prompt, helpful and friendly and we left feeling well-fed and well looked-after.
We will certainly be back when we are next in the area.

  We had an excellent meal here. Food and service was all outstanding. We all enjoyed the selection of seafood dishes they had on offer. Food was all fresh and tasty.... read more Would return if ever in the aea again.

  My boyfriend and I were treated to a meal here by our friends who had been raving about the place! We could not fault the whole experience, from service to... read more cleanliness the place was wonderful. The food was all delicious and fresh and it was clear that a lot of thought and imagination had gone into the specials menus for every course. There was something for everyone! The wine list had a lot of choice and the house gin was lovely! Every course was gorgeous however the chocolate and ginger tart stole the show!! The setting is absolutely stunning however that goes without saying! 10/10, would definitely recommend and will certainly be back.

  Held our wedding here at Little's restaurant a renovated former church at the end of July,Willie Little closed his restaurant to allow us to have this wedding private on a... read more Sunday night from 4pm, just an amazing setting for a wedding, we were married under the stained plate glass window, the meal and service we received after can only be said to be first class to make this a very special day for us our family and friends, thanks to Helen for all her help to Martin, Scott, Zoe and Briony and all the Kitchen staff for all there hard work in making this a unforgettable day,Willie Little produced first class fine dinning meal for all our guests, we would highly recommend this venue for any occasion.
