    What a lovely idea- a train buffet carriage - beautifully set out and very comfortable. We are seasoned Thailand travellers so were delighted to find this dining option. The staff were absolutely lovely and service was excellent. The price is the price- let’s face it, it’s Pitlochry- a high end destination and there’s also the whole national insurance/cost of produce whammy. Quality of food however is very high. Little bit disappointed with the authenticity of flavour but I acknowledge this is Thai cuisine in Pitlochry- not Bangkok or Chang Rai. As I say, quality was excellent but would have liked more distinctive Thai flavours.

    A great experience, The Wee Choo-Choo is a lovely place to have Thai food. All made to perfection. The service was friendly and welcoming, could not have asked for anything better. A little bit pricey but it was a treat so worth it. If we are ever in Pitlochry again we will be back.

    We had an amazing dining experience at Wee Choo Choo Restaurant! The honey pork spare ribs were absolutely delicious—tender, sweet, and savory, with just the right amount of glaze. The food across the menu was top-notch, and the service was friendly and attentive. What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere. Dining in the charming railway carriage adds a unique and cosy touch to the whole experience. Highly recommend it for both the food and the fun, quirky setting!

    Every town should have a wee choo-choo in Scotland. It is the perfect place to make an occasion special. The food was beautifully presented, and the service was very attentive. The best restaurant in town.

    We had a most wonderful experience at the unique and beautiful Wee Choo Choo restaurant. The restaurant is a train carriage and the decor inside and out is absolutely stunning. The service was first class (No pun intended 😂) and the staff were super attentive. Now to the food. We had a green and a red curry and they were beautiful. Very authentic and different to any other Thai curries we have had before. Not a broth type curry. The taste was amazing and you can tell that both meals were made fresh and to order. We then had ice cream desserts. One was home made coconut with fruit and a chocolate and the other was with Thai Whisky (cannot remember the real name) and they were both sublime. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this fabulous unique restaurant. You will not be dissapointed. Be sure to reserve in advance.
