Visit & Vibes

I was recently invited to Little’s Restaurant, located in Blairgowrie. Although it was a bit of a drive for me, I had heard good things and always enjoy discovering new places. Upon arrival, I noticed that Little’s was situated in a building that resembled a church, which piqued my curiosity about the interior and the menu.

When I entered the restaurant, I was struck by the stunning decor. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the staff were very pleasant as they showed me to my table. While looking at the menu, I kept glancing around. The restaurant was very busy, and the decor continually caught my eye.

The Food

Crispy Squid
Garlic Mayonnaise

The menu offered a good selection, but you have to be a fish lover as it is a fish restaurant. I love fish, so I knew I was in for a treat.

I decided to order the crispy squid as a starter since you can often judge a place by this dish. It’s either too rubbery or just right, so I wanted to see how this restaurant did it.

When the dish arrived, the presentation was very nice. The squid rings were small and consistent in size and batter, which I appreciated. I was eager to dig in.

I decided to try some on their own first, and wow, I knew I was in for a treat instantly. The flavour was amazing—one of the best I’ve ever had. I don’t know what they added, maybe paprika or some salt, but whatever it was, it gave the squid a fantastic flavour, and it was perfectly cooked. This dish was a solid 10 out of 10, and I enjoyed every single bite from start to finish.

The dish came with lemon and dipping sauce, but I found that using them actually detracted from the lovely flavour, so I just enjoyed the squid as it was. I don’t normally think this after a dish, but it was an instant thought: I could easily have had another portion. That’s how good it was. I can’t fault this dish in any way. It was amazing, and if I’m ever back in the area, I’ll definitely have this dish again.

Crispy Fried Haddock
Homemade chips, mushy peas, tartar sauce

For my main course, several options stood out, but I decided to go for the traditional haddock and fries to see how they prepared it here. When it arrived, the portion size was generous: lots of chips, a good-sized haddock, mushy peas, and some dipping sauce.

I started with one of the chips, which was perfectly cooked and had a fantastic flavour. I really enjoyed them. Next, I moved on to the fish. It had a lovely light batter with a good crispness—neither too hard nor too soft—just perfect. The fish was tender, flaky, and had an excellent flavour. Combining everything together, this was a really good dish with a delightful fish.

I enjoyed every single bite and highly recommend trying the haddock here if you’re a fan. Alternatively, you could choose from the other tempting options, as this dish was exceptionally good.
