Food heroes of Strathyre
Bad Scottish food has had some publicity recently, so it’s good to take note of some spectacular Scottish food successes as well.
Yesterday evening we ate in Creagan House in Strathyre. This is a local restaurant, just up the road from Callander, with a Michelin Bib Gourmand. This is a designation for exceptional food, available at a modest price. To qualify a restaurant has to offer a three course meal for less than 25 pounds. There are only 5 or 6 such restaurants in Scotland: a couple in Edinburgh, one in Glasgow, one in Pitlochry, and one in Tarbert (Kintyre), so it is something special.
The restaurant is owned by Gordon and Cherry Gunn who do much of the work themselves. The food is rich, more for special occasions than everyday, and the quality is excellent throughout. The most interesting dish we had last night - the starter - was made of fresh salmon mixed with smoked haddock in a sherry sauce wrapped in smoked salmon!
