Welcome to The Wee Choo-Choo – Pitlochry's most unique and exciting dining experience!
Step aboard our beautifully restored Norwegian railway carriage. Our Daughter-and-Mother team owns and operates the restaurant Mia and Isara McCallum from South Thailand.

For group bookings, dishes will be served as they are ready. Our hot plates can hold only two to three dishes at a time, so meals may arrive at slightly different intervals.
A 15% compulsory service charge will be added to the bill for all groups of five or more guests.
We operate a 15-minute grace period for all reservations. If your full party has not arrived within 15 minutes of your scheduled time, we may be unable to hold the table due to limited seating.

A neighbourhood Italian restaurant where the food and service was fantastic. The pepperoni pizza was delicious with just the right amount of spice and cheese. The staff are very welcoming, attentive and polite, without being intrusive during the meal. The decor and seating is lovely however, the only negative comment would be it was very cold inside the restaurant. This was highlighted by quite a few diners, including my companions, choosing to keep their outdoor coats on whilst eating their meal. That said, we did enjoy our meal and, would possibly return, as long as it was a lot warmer in the restaurant.

Very friendly and professional service from Alec. Great variety of food and drinks and excellent quality. I had the Mushroom Risotto and my husband had the seafood pasta. Both dishes were delicious. This was followed by the cheese platter, which was also excellent.
