This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
Deans @ Let’s Eat in the Fair City’s Kinnoull Street bills itself as 'a true taste of Scotland'. The restaurant’s family team of head chef Willie Deans, his wife Margot, and sons Lee (the manager) and young Jamie (already a talented chef), serve vibrant modern Scottish lunches and dinners, made from scratch using local, seasonal ingredients, artfully presented on the plate in creative flavour combinations. The kind staff and welcoming atmosphere of comfortable sofas for sipping cocktails or aperitifs amid a décor of warm red walls and coves of wine bottles also help make this a pleasant experience.

We have been travelling to Perth on a regular basis for the last few years and have tried all of the restaurants in the fair city but have found Deans to be by far the best.
Nothing special to look at from the outside but the welcome and food inside more than make up for the drab exterior. Willie and wife Margo make you feel welcome as soon as you arrive.
Willie will often come out of the kitchen and speak to patrons and today we were treated to a small complimentary taster which was fantastic. The fare is outstanding and the unusual combinations of savoury and sweet that would not be the norm somehow seem to work with Willie’s magic.
We regularly—once a week that is—eat out at all the best restaurants and the only one we would put on a par with Deans is the Peat Inn……..that is saying something.
Would also have to say a word for our favourite waitress Sylvia the best thing to come out of Poland since vodka!
The best compliment I can pay is that this is our favourite local and we live in Dunfermline.
