Food & Wine
At Dalmunzie we feel particularly proud of the Food & Beverage we provide. With two AA rosettes and four years recommended in the Michelin guide (2007-2010) we can guarantee a high consistency of product. Whether it’s a hearty breakfast in preparation for a big day, a relaxing lunch between golf rounds, or dressing up for a special dinner, we are confident our chefs can provide guests with an experience to remember.
Head Chef Katie Cleary has many years of experience at Dalmunzie Castle with an excellent reputation for outstanding meals and is strongly supported by her talented team.
Breakfast is taken in either the sunroom with glorious views towards Ben Earb or in the Dining Room overlooking the front lawn. Teas are served throughout the day and lunch can be enjoyed wherever you like. There are numerous lounges to choose from, or if the sun is shining and the weather mild, there is no better place than on our expansive lawns enjoying magnificent mountain scenery on all sides.
Dinner is an important old-fashioned occasion at Dalmunzie. In a fast paced world we provide a dining experience deliberately meant to take several hours to fully appreciate our Scottish Estate Contemporary cuisine. With the candles low, unobtrusive service on hand, and wonderful food & wine to enjoy, we hope you’ll enjoy an event meant to be special. Dinner is enjoyed in our expansive dining room with views over the front lawn in the Spring & Summer months. Alternatively private dining may be arranged in the James Graham Library.
Our menu choices reflect traditional Estate/Country House cuisine with ingredients drawn almost exclusively from Glenshee & Perthshire. The menu changes daily so feel free to request any ideas, desires or favourites in advance to our kitchen brigade and they will do their best to accommodate.
The wine list is constantly under review and offers the discerning guest old favourites and new surprises from premier wine producing regions. 2007 saw the addition of a master list with some of the worlds most wonderful wines. All tasting notes have been complied by the Dalmunzie staff team offering a 'personal' approach. Unlike the majority of wine lists, the descriptions are insightful and pertinent and designed to assist our guests match the right wine with dinner. This attention has resulted in Dalmunzie achieving "Notable Wine List" status in the 2010 AA Restaurant Guide and our going forward to the final round of the AA Wine Award 2009-2010. For the whisky enthusiast we also have over 80 single malts to choose from.
Please be aware that from 26th March 2006, smoking will no longer be allowed throughout Dalmunzie, including the bedrooms, restaurant, bar and public areas of the hotel. Any guests wishing to smoke may do so in the designated outdoor areas.
