CALLANDER MEADOWS££
( 01877-330181;
www.callandermeadows.co.uk
; 24 Main St; lunch £8.95, mains £11-18; Thu-Sun)
Informal but smart, this well-loved restaurant in the centre of Callander occupies the two
front rooms of a house on the main street. There's a contemporary flair for presentation
and unusual flavour combinations, but a solidly British base underpins the cuisine, with
things like mackerel, red cabbage, salmon and duck making regular and welcome appear-
ances. There's a great daytime beer/coffee garden out the back, and the restaurant is also
open on Mondays from April to September, and daily in high summer.

MHOR FISH££
( 01877-330213;
www.mhor.net
; 75 Main St; fish supper £6, mains £8-14; noon-9pm Tue-Sun)
Both chip shop and fish restaurant, but wholly different, this endearing black-and-white-
tiled cafe displays the day's fresh catch. You can choose how you want it cooked, whether
pan-seared and accompanied by one of many good wines, or fried and wrapped in paper
with chips to take away.
LADE INN

;
Kilmahog; )
Callander's best pub isn't in Callander − it's a mile west
of town. They pull a good pint here (the real ales here are brewed to a house recipe), and
next door, the owners run a shop with a dazzling selection of Scottish beers.
