On a rainy autumn day what could be more appealing than a beautiful thick hot chocolate? I got a hot chocolate with oat milk (a preference not a necessity) and it was thick and tasty unlike some hot chocolates I have sampled over the years. Lots of gluten/vegan/vegetarian options clearly displayed on the menu. We walked to the salmon ladder, sadly didn’t see any salmon but learnt a lot about the ladder/building of the dam in the free visitors centre. A great interactive visitors centre for all ages.

Excellent place all round…impressive! Lovely views from the cafe terrace over the dam and river and very good scones here too! Nice selection of cakes though too many didn’t look homemade as such and a bit commercial.But no faulting the scones. Lovely to sit on the terrace admiring the view high up above all.We’ll be back soon I hope!

You wouldn't think a dam and reservoir in the middle of rural Scotland would be interesting - and you would be wrong. Our tour group stopped at the Pitlochry Dam on a sparkling August afternoon and spent a good two hours walking around the top of the dam, checking out the amazing "fish ladder" they built for the annual salmon migration, and looking over the massive turbine generator floor. The visitor's center was the icing on the cake - it overlooks the whole damsite area and has an excellent indoor and outdoor viewing area. The exhibits do a great job of bringing the whole history of hydro power in Scotland alive, including all the pitfalls and dangers that come with tunneling through dense layers of hard rock far underground. The cafe is the perfect spot for an afternoon snack and the gift shop has things available for all age ranges. Recommended.

Lunch with a view. Very clean and welcoming, staff were friendly and service was prompt. Lovely menu choices, would particularly recommend the haggis and cheese ciabatta, just delicious. Will definitely visit again.

Having travelled north on the A9 for home for decades we finally made a visit to the Dam visitors centre. We were not disappointed the whole site was fascinating. The fish ladder was just such a great testament to engineering. We then went to the cafe and exhibition. Cafe and reception staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and informative. The exhibition was well laid out and so good to see interactive screens etc that worked in all. Great views from the balcony from a really lovely construction. Will we be back..... absolutely 💯

Called in for lunch and was very impressed with friendly professional staff. Great food, I had the haggis ciabatta and my wife and dad both had bacon and Brie ciabatta with my mum having homemade potato and leeks soup. All the dishes very will presented and very very good quality.. Excellent value for money and with a superb view will definitely return.
