Loch Leven's Larder

Top choice in Lowland Perthshire & Kinross


Three miles east of Kinross, off the A911, this family-run farm shop and restaurant overlooking Loch Leven is the ideal place to enjoy fresh local food, much of it from the family's own farm, whether it's a breakfast of soft-boiled free-range eggs with hot buttered toast, a platter of Scottish cheeses, or a lunch of Arbroath smoked-haddock quiche with potato salad.

There's a terrace with a panorama over the loch, a children's playground, and a footpath that connects to the Loch Leven Heritage Trail, making it an ideal break on a walking or cycling circuit of the loch.
