A riverside gem in Perth

Nestled on Tay Street in the heart of Perth, 63 Tay Street Restaurant occupies part of a handsome stone building with views over the River Tay. The setting is quietly elegant: a compact dining room with a modern red and grey palette, tartan carpet, and well-spaced tables that create an intimate, unhurried atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where the focus is squarely on the food and the company, enhanced by a relaxed, knowledgeable front-of-house team and a carefully curated wine list that complements the kitchen’s vision.

Cooking with Perthshire’s larder

The kitchen works to a philosophy of local, honest, simple cooking, drawing heavily on the rich produce of Perthshire. The menu changes with the seasons, featuring dishes like hand-dived scallops with curried lentils and ginger flan, white onion risotto with locally smoked haddock, Clava Brie and Shetland mussels, and roast Perthshire pigeon ‘pastrami’ with couscous and macadamia nut. Mains often include Scotch limousin beef fillet, rib eye, or rack of Scotch hogget lamb, traditionally garnished with hand-cut chips and sauce Béarnaise, while vegetarian and vegan guests are thoughtfully accommodated with creative, flavourful options.

Memorable dining experiences

The restaurant offers both à la carte and tasting menus, including the popular ‘Just Feed Us Fraser’ and surprise tasting options that let diners experience the chef’s full range. Bread is proved for 36 hours, meats are slow-cooked for 12–14 hours, and desserts are beautifully composed, often reimagining Scottish classics in a modern way. The wine list includes a strong selection by the glass and bottle, with staff able to guide pairings to match the complexity and balance of each course, making it a rewarding choice for wine lovers and curious palates alike.

Practical details for visitors

63 Tay Street is a small, 20-seat restaurant, so booking in advance is essential, especially for evenings and weekends. It is open for lunch and dinner on select days, with service running in two sittings. The dining room is wheelchair accessible with three steps at the entrance and accessible toilets available. While the restaurant itself is compact, its central location in Perth makes it easy to combine with a stroll along the river or a visit to nearby historic sites, making it a standout choice for a special meal in the city.
