The Taybank

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.

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!

The Taybank Terrace in Dunkeld is an absolute treasure, and it’s no wonder my partner and I keep coming back. Nestled across from the main hotel, right by the River Tay, this outdoor haven offers a setting that’s hard to beat. The location is simply breathtaking. With panoramic views of the River Tay and the iconic Dunkeld Bridge, it’s a picture-perfect spot, especially on sunny days when the scenery sparkles. The terrace is thoughtfully laid out, with a spacious bar to the left as you enter and seating areas that stretch down toward the river. The lower section lets you sit practically beside the water – it’s magical. There’s also a charming food hut serving delicious options like pizzas and chips with pulled beef, ideal for sharing or snacking. For those unpredictable Scottish days, the terrace has tipis providing shelter from sun or rain, making it a practical choice too. The food, while slightly on the pricier side, is well worth it. The menu is varied, with tasty options for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike, ensuring everyone leaves satisfied. The atmosphere is another highlight – a lively mix of couples, families, and groups of friends creates a welcoming vibe. Dog owners will love that their furry companions are welcome, adding to the relaxed charm. I’ve visited as a couple, with my kids, and even with family from England, and every time it’s been a hit across generations. Service can be a tad slow on busy days, but with such a stunning view and great company, it’s hardly a bother. The staff are consistently friendly and attentive, which adds to the overall experience. Whether you’re after a romantic outing, a family day, or a casual catch-up with friends, The Taybank Terrace delivers. It’s a must-visit in Dunkeld, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

We had a fantastic trip to the open air cinema, very good organisation. Bluetooth headphones were provided to everyone so we all enjoyed the film without interference.|It was also a delight to sit and see the beautiful Tay shimmer in the sunlight.|We arrived early and enjoyed a super lunch, the pizzas were the best I had eaten for a very long time! The “garden pizza “, with home grown strips of courgettes and herbs, was delicious.|Well done pizza chefs!|With friendly staff, good teas and coffee, Isle of Harris gin we shall return again to enjoy this delightful hotel.

Tried the Garden Kitchen a couple of times. Drinks ok, staff not that attentive, opening hours not as stated so did not get served after 5pm on a Monday. Pizza was poor, tasted bland and the base was too soft. Chips far too salty. Location was good with nice views. Prices a bit steep (£6 for a portion of fries). Shame.

Great food and drink. Only downside is no comfortable seats outside next to the river. Would have stayed all afternoon but couldn't sit on the seats any longer so left to go elsewhere. Pity as they have best food and drink

Our party stayed in the two bedroom apartment at the rear and it was very well appointed with a lovely breakfast basket delivered in the morning. We had a lovely drink in the beer garden and dined in the restaurant. It was all fantastic and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommended for both accomodation and food. Only negative was that the pork and lamb served in the restaurant while cooked well overseasoned and a bit salty .

1 Hour 20 minutes waiting for food RIDICULOUS -food that was good but absolutely over priced! venue was not busy AT ALL - 13 people eating all together - 3 team members chatting behind the bar If this is the service you provide you should definitely lower your prices - if was an exception because of short stuff ( I hardly doubt) u should let customers know and apologise AT LEAST I was also with a 3 years old kid at the table who obviously wanted to eat , a complimentary piece of bread would have been A NICE ACT OF KINDNESS rest assured you will never see us again

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.
