A
Perth favourite for splashing out on a special meal, this busy corner restaurant has a can-
do attitude and an excellent line in fresh Scottish produce. Juicy scallops, fine Orkney
beef, local venison or lamb may feature, but you can't really go wrong whatever you se-
lect. Browse the menu on the comfy couches with aperitif in hand, before being shown to
your table. Recession-busting lunch and dinner set menus are a good way to graze here on
a budget.

A spacious bistro that
presents the very best of pork products through traditional regional French cuisine. The
sample platter of charcuterie is fabulous value, there are succulent mains and there's a de-
cent selection of Gallic wines to accompany them. There are other dishes on the menu if
pig ain't your thing, and a cheap early dinner deal.

Something of an institution, Paco's keeps Perthers coming back over
and over, perhaps because it would take dozens of visits to even try half the menu. There's
something for everyone: steaks, seafood, pizza, pasta and Mexican, all served in generous
portions. The fountain-tinkled terrace is the place for a sunny day.
