The perfect place for a lovely bite to eat, quality coffee and excellent cakes. The staff were really welcoming. Would love to visit again.

Walked into the warm atmosphere from a cold, wet and windy day. Cappuccinos and eggs Benedict (bacon and the smoked salmon) were really good. Service was fast and friendly. Can't wait to go back.

Possibly the worst service I have ever received. Seated for ten before we fetched our own menus, ignored whilst the owner chatted at the counter for a further ten minutes finally got her attention before being told only the brunch menu was being served today. Based on how long it took us to get noticed (let alone serviced) we decided against food and had a tea and a soft drink and went into Arrochar for lunch. Due to awful service we spent less than £15 whereby we spent closer to £100 in Pub for lunch. Don’t bother unless you are happy to pay not to be served.

Had heard good things about The Perch and we were not disappointed. We both had the full Scottish breakfast which was outstanding, and included locally sourced bacon and sausage, haggis, black pudding, roasted vine tomatoes, potato scone, beans and egg, as well as toasted sourdough. Everything was cooked fresh and was very tasty. We got there in time for the cafe opening and were glad we did. It was a Saturday morning and fills up pretty quickly with locals, so try and book or get in early if you can, especially at weekends. We’ll definitely be back, and recommend you pay a visit if you’re in the area.

Authentic and family run. Quality exceptional. Was not expecting it to be as good. Wait time a wee bit longer but the kitchen is cooking fresh and doing the bizz.

Our favourite cafe/restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Last year we really enjoyed the Christmas Dinner, BUT tonight it was even better.It is so refreshing to have a Christmas meal which is not just churned out. Every course was carefully planned and cooked and the service was friendly and attentive as usual.
wayyyyyy overpriced for what it is and trying to be fancier than they actually

A lovely spot for a family lunch will certainly be back. The menu was varied and interesting, the food really delicious, service excellent and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Thank you ☺️

Lovely little cafe/bar in Garelochhead. Snacks and fine cakes. Some outside seating but parking spaces very limited. Conveniently placed for rail and bus. Shops nearby and pleasant walks around the Loch.

Each time I’ve visited The Perch, it’s been an absolute treat - the whole experience is just spot on. A lovely family run business, ensuring care and quality in everything they do from the service, decor and incredible selection of drinks, cakes and meals! I’m still thinking about the Perch Eggs (with smoked salmon) I had a couple weeks ago!

Truly lovely wee spot. Delicious food, friendly staff and guests. Never fails to impress.Says it all that it's not uncommon to see people queuing at the front door at opening time! Hard to beat the quality of the produce and cooking. Beyond that, a variety of cakes on offer also keeps it interesting and well worth returning.The staff are friendly and helpful. Certainly a family feel.The atmosphere is cozy and slightly hipster-ish. All in a fitting and endearing kind of way. All fits together nicely creating a consistent and cohesive experience.Certainly recommend it and while the food and drink are not the cheapest it is certainly worth every penny.
