The Taybank

Out for a wintry walk and came into the Taybank on spec as it looked so cosy ...hadnt booked but luckily there was a table by the window available for me, my husband and son. Had the most lovely lunch near the fire and enjoyed a glass of red and a local beer. Service was excellent, felt most at home. Really hope to be back soon and to stay over too. Thank you for a lovely impromptu lunch. It really made our day.

My partner and I were lucky enough to reserve a room at The Taybank over the Hogmanay celebrations (2026). We were very impressed with everything about the hotel - so much so that we will be making this a regular and no doubt book for the next Hogmanay gathering. The hotel is very well decorated with a great warm feeling throughout the bar, restaurant and bedrooms. We enjoyed a number of drinks in the traditional bar and ate in the restaurant on both nights of our stay - the food and staff were exceptional. I would highly recommend staying and eating in The Taybank.

Stopped in for a quick drink with a friend. Lovely pint of Guinness. Warm and friendly atmosphere in a beautiful, cosy little bar. We didn't eat or stay, but after seeing the pies and popping to the loo, I'm tempted to book a room for a weekend getaway as the food smelled delicious and going by the rest of the hotel, can imagine the rooms are incredibly comfy and well decorated. Beautiful location too. There was a gorgeous brazier burning out front too, adding to the experience.

We went for food. It was excellent. Very good quality, local ingredients. I had an excellent venison dish. There was also a lovely cod and bacon dish. Service excellent. Very reasonable wine list. Really good to find somewhere so great in Dunkeld! Highly recommended.

Went here with a group of friends after going white water rafting nearby. The place is absolutely beautiful with a big spacious garden for eating outside that stretches all the way to the riverbank. The outdoor menu was very limited and they had run out of some of the 5/6 dishes that you could choose from when we arrived mid afternoon. We all ordered wood-fired pizzas in the end, which were nice. Our only complaint was that because of how busy they were, the pizzas took an hour to start arriving and they came at very staggered times, so some had finished their food before other's arrived.

​We had a fantastic lunch at The Taybank, perfectly situated by the river. We enjoyed some delicious food and drinks in what has to be one of Scotland's largest and most impressive beer gardens. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing and it was a lovely surprise to see families enjoying an outdoor cinema. The added touch of an ice cream and coffee truck made for a perfect afternoon. The whole place felt very welcoming and it's great that it's also so pet-friendly!

Great beer garden across the road from the hotel and down by the water, with a casual pizza/topped chips type food menu and it's own bar. Beautiful sunny evening spent overlooking the water. Dog friendly beer garden too, which was handy.

The Taybank – 10/10 Such a lovely spot! The beer garden overlooks the River Tay and it’s absolutely stunning — perfect for a sunny day. Loads of outdoor seating, great atmosphere, and the pizza is seriously delicious. Washed it down with a cold beer and couldn’t have been happier. Perfect place. Highly recommend!

Loved our stay at the Taybank. Fantastic location. Located in Dunkeld Scotland, surrounded my large pines, the lovely village of Dinkeld and the beautiful Tay river bank, hence the name "Taybank". We arrived to a casual setting with only 5 rooms available to rent. Our room is spacious and cozy. We made reservations at the restaurant and the food was fresh and light with many great option. After dinner we headed to the riverside Picnic tables to enjoy the lasting sunlight, a glass of wine and to watch the birds, a rainbow and relax. Even if you are passing through, it is worth having lunch and sitting riverside. We will be back. Love it here.

What a little gem in this small town!! I visited it a while ago, we found excellent the warm environment in the pub, friendly, chatty, vibrant, after 17h00 on a Sunday on our way back to Edinburgh. Gin and whiskey bottles were turned into candle holders. Guitars and violins were hung on the wall above a real piano! Reading the posters, it is also a music venue. While we were there, we noticed it's dog friendly and it had excellent rock music! The service was pretty quick, top marks! The chips were nice and crispy with their skin (not the chunky ones). The highlight of the food experience (we didn't have mains) was their Cullen skink!! I'm not usually a fun of soup with cod, but it was mouth watering, deeping bread also inside, I will definitely stop by them in the future to have another one and try more dishes!

This is pub food the way it should be! We had the fish&chips and the fish burger. Everything was tasty and homemade. The beer garden is awesome also the choice of tap beers . Pick the blonde one from Black Isle Brewery! This is still one of my favorite places in Scotland. If you are around here, come and get in! The best choice you will have! We'd been here for the fourth time, never been disappointed! And we will come back!

I really wanted to like this place. The atmosphere was great, but the service was just horrible. They took forever to get our food out (I ate with a group of 5 others) and when it finally did arrive, they completely messed up two orders (I am not talking just missed a side dish or something, but brought out completely different food) and forgot my order altogether. And since their food is cooked to order (which is a good thing normally), I had to sit and watch while my group mates ate their meals. Then, when they finally brought my order...it was entirely the wrong item. I eventually cancelled and we left in disgust. The only thing I was able to actually eat was a side of chips (fries) which was actually quite tasty. Too bad sitting there for over an hour netted me a side of fries and a pint of Guiness and nothing else to actually eat. When you leave a place more hungry than when you came there, something is horribly wrong.
