Loch Leven's Larder

I love places like these! I could spend hours in the shop with all the local produce and interesting items. I ended up buying a couple of condiments. The place was busy. The lady that served me at the checkout was nice enough but not particularly friendly. We then grabbed food. Unfortunately it was a 20-30 min wait in the main restaurant so we didn’t bother go there. Instead we sat in at the cafe. We had a toasted sandwich and a sausage roll which were both nice and satisfying. The sausage roll was juicy with a flakey pastry. Overall the is a great spot with a brilliant location. I’d like to come back to try the main restaurant.

What a fabulous place to have a walk and a cake. My friend and I did the full 20km ish cicuit then treated ourselves to some goodies in the restaurant. We asked for a table, and were given a little vibrating pager that would let us know when our table was ready. We browsed the shop for perhaps 10 minutes before it went off which was a more than acceptable wait considering how good the service was and not mention the food - it was gorgeous. Our experience with the staff was professional and polite from start to finish. As mentioned before the food was brilliant. Chips, cheese scone and slice of chocolate jaffa cake - i would happily have died and gone to heaven with this as my last meal, it was delicious!

Has an amazing time- lovely seating outside in the sun and great views. Amazing service from a nice girl in the greenhouse area I believe it was Lorna Y written on her name badge. Definitely recommend!!

Lovely and tasty food. The place was very cosy, we really enjoyed it!

Was up for a holiday over New Year. Not many places open but found this was. Excellent food, service unfortunately was very slow, didnt clear plates until we finally asked. Hot drinks were luke warm. Lovely setting though. The shop had nice bits but expensive.

Great destination for all the family. Free parking, great views over the loch, footpaths, play area, outdoor benches, Saturday morning parkrun and even sometimes cricket to watch. After you are done with your activity, there is a choice between the restaurant, indoor counter or hut to get food and drinks. We had brunch in the restaurant then bought a few presents and food treats from the well selected items in the shop. A great place when in need of present inspiration and for a general day out in a scenic location.

Lovely place to stop for a coffee and cake but not when the wait time for it is nearly 40 mins. Can't fault the coffee or cake but wish the staff had said they couldn't cope with a simple coffee and cake order on a Sat afternoon.

We had a lovely lunch here today. Excellent vegetarian options (see photos) which we shared as well as lots of home baking. This was followed by some great Christmas shopping! Thank you to Murdo and the team who looked after us so nicely.

Very good food in a half gift shop, half cafeteria-feeling place with amazing views. Service was fast enough despite the crowds. A great stop if for convenience.

I'm not sure why this has such low ratings on Yelp! This place was delicious! I mean its a farmshop/cafe so its gonna be a bit more expensive... but its worth every bite because its really not that much more then a latte or piece of cake from starbucks... and this is all locally made! The farm shop was super cute and the view is amazing! looking right over Loch Leven. Beautiful . We got a thing that wasn't a afternoon tea, but thats like a shared dessert plate with tea for two. We got lovely shortbread, fresh vanilla cream and berries (husband ate that) a coconut chocolate trifel, yummy marigunes, and wonderfully buttery scones! All for £10. They had really nice outdoor seating too ( weather permitting)

This is a gem on the shores of Loch Leven. The views from this place, inside and outside, are amazing and when the sun is out on a warm summers day, a stop by for a meal and drink should be in the cards. The Loch Leven natural trail is passing this place and a detour is easy. There is plenty of parking space, inside and outside seating, as well as a very well equipped Farm Shop. It's heaven for locals and tourists alike. All you can get, in one place. Must confess I went on a wee shopping spree as well as enjoying a 2.5 hour lunch break. It's quite amazing that they did not ask us to leave as we had a table for quite some time even the people kept coming and queuing. When we arrived we were also informed that there is a 15 min wait and were given a pager. The table was ready quite fast so I could not finish my shopping. The lady behind the counter offered to keep the shopping basket, with content, until I was ready with my lunch. Must say, all the staff were really friendly and attentive, even on a busy Sunday like this. Always a friendly face. In the restaurant I ordered chicken pate with oatcakes and the whole meal was really filling. I could only manage an Americano as a dessert. Their dessert board was huge with lots of choice. Not to mention the small and large afternoon tea choice. Toilets were ok. Would recommend to clean them a bit more in intervals. The outside terrace is modern and large. You will also see two booths, which can be reserved and you can sit in there with pals or family members enjoying some privacy. They look like UFOS :-). Their farmshop sells local produce, various kitchen and pet appliances, clothes, cards, papers, wines, dog/cat supplies. Enjoy. It's worth a trip at any time.

Loch Leven's Larder is a nice cafe/restaurant with great views of Loch Leven. The food is very nice, particularly the Soup of the Day. The coffee they serve there is of high standard & they make it properly from bean to cup in minutes. The prices at the Larder are on the steep side, you are looking at over £10 per person for a decent lunch time meal there. However as I said the views are lovely with easy access to the Larder Shop & trails that go round the 12.6 mile radius of the Loch. Very close to Kinross & the M90 motor way & A92.

My pal took me here today for afternoon tea and it was just fab' lovely sandwiches, shortbread to die for, delightful cakes and yummy sausage rolls, a sheer delight and its my birthday tomorrow. What a lovely surprise with beautiful scenery. Well done everyone for making it so special. I will return!!!!!

Very beautiful shop, but so expensive. The deli is very nice, although vastly overpriced. However, a few of the cheeses were incorrectly labelled with country of origin. For example, Picos Blue was labelled as French, when it is in fact Spanish. I pointed this out to the gentleman on the counter, who I have to say was charming and very helpful, and assured me who would advise the owner, but on a later visit, all the labelling remained unchanged. Very disappointing, and the reason why we've never been back

Nice setting and lovely for a wee browse around, although very expensive for everything. Feel that the lay out of the tables could be better in the restaurant as there are a few huge tables that take up so much space when there are people standing waiting for tables it seems such a waste of space. Also the soup was lovely but the brownies were very dry and disappointing. They are busy but there really is a lack of competition as there are no coffee shops close by for visitors to choose between and to visit there, unless you live local, you are having a day out so you have to eat there. Don't think that their prices would stand a chance in a competitive area.
