Food and Drink at the Loch Rannoch Hotel in Perthshire
The Macdonald Loch Rannoch Hotel specialises in simple but succulent dishes served with our world-renowned Highland hospitality. Exceptional views, traditional surroundings and attentive but unobtrusive service are equally important ingredients when dining at the Loch Rannoch Hotel. We serve only the finest Scottish beef, lamb, pork and wild white fish in our Ptarmigan restaurant and source local, organic suppliers for our vegetables and dairy products where possible. Connoisseurs of Highland whisky can sample more than 60 varieties in our Malt Bar and Schiehallion Bar.
The Ptarmigan Restaurant at the Macdonald Loch Rannoch Hotel serves up the perfect Highland country house dining experience. Panoramic views across the impressive Loch Rannoch to Schiehallion provide a magnificent backdrop for classic meals with a contemporary twist. Our family-friendly Schiehallion Bar is an excellent choice for a relaxed meal after a busy day in the hills, glens and lochs. Alternatively, feel the warmth of the roaring log fire in our Malt Bar or the sun on our loch side terrace and drink in the pleasures of Perthshire's finest malts.

Ptarmigan Restaurant
Prepare for a day exploring the lochs, mountains and glens of Perthshire with breakfast in the Ptarmigan Restaurant. Try the light fresh fruit buffet, warm baked bread with sweet comb honey, crunchy cereals and freshly squeezed juice or, for a hearty start to the day, a full Scottish breakfast made from the finest organic produce. Smoky Loch Fyne kippers, world famous Stornoway Black Pudding and rib-ticklingly good porridge are strongly recommended.
In the evening, return to the Ptarmigan to sample sensational Scottish food. Indulge in a traditional Ham Hock Terrine and locally farmed lamb, leaving room for sticky toffee pudding to finish. Inviting in winter, naturally-lit by the continuous Highland light in summer, a meal in the Ptarmigan is a real treat.
