A historic cottage with modern Scottish soul

Nestled in an end-of-terrace 18th-century cottage on North Port, this restaurant blends Jacobean charm with a bright, contemporary sensibility. Exposed dark oak panelling, original wooden floors and low ceilings give the space a characterful, intimate feel, while modern lighting and simple decor keep it fresh and unfussy. The dining room is compact and convivial, designed to draw attention to the food rather than flashy surroundings. It’s the kind of place where you feel comfortably at home, yet aware that something special is on the plate.

Cooking that speaks of Scotland

The kitchen focuses on modern Scottish cuisine, letting high-quality, locally sourced ingredients take centre stage. Dishes are built around seasonal seafood, game and vegetables, often with a foraged or artisanal twist. Expect beautifully cooked fish like hake or monkfish, tender meats such as rib eye or pork fillet, and starters that might include crab and crowdie dumplings with wild garlic. House-made haggis is a signature, celebrated for its depth of flavour and careful seasoning. The cooking is precise but never overly fussy, with bold, clean tastes that reflect the landscape and larder of Perthshire and beyond.

A thoughtful dining experience

Service at North Port aims to be knowledgeable and attentive, with staff who understand the menu and are happy to guide wine pairings or explain dishes. The wine list is well curated, offering good options by the glass and bottle to complement the food without being intimidating. At lunch, a three-course set menu offers excellent value and a chance to sample the kitchen’s range. While the space is small and the atmosphere cosy, it can comfortably accommodate groups, making it a solid choice for both intimate dinners and small celebrations in Perth.
