Black Tartan Kitchen - Carleton Place, Ontario

We had a lovely experience at The Black Tartan Kitchen! We reserved a table for their “Supper Club” experience. The local food supplier was Trillium Meadow Farm who supplied food for all four courses. We enjoyed hearing about the farm and how they care for their animals. Chef/ owner spent time explaining every course selection. The wait staff were friendly and proficient. The wine pairings were spot on! What’s not to love!

After years of having the Black Tartan Kitchen on our list, we finally made it!

We spent a beautiful Saturday afternoon on their cozy patio, surrounded by vibrant mural art and a charming little garden, both adding a fresh burst of color and life to the space. It was the ideal setting for a relaxing lunch.
•
We tried the three-course lunch seasonal menu, and every dish was both tasty and beautifully presented. The ingredients were fresh, carefully chosen, and clearly sourced with intention. You can really taste the pride they take in supporting local producers and showcasing the best of what is in season.
•
A special shoutout to our server, Paolo, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. He guided us through the menu and shared the stories behind the dishes, which made the whole experience even more meaningful.

7 course meal with wine pairing, last weekend in May, was very enjoyable. Composition and tastes of each dish were great. I’m not a fan or orange wine but it went with the scallop serving. Chef’s description of each plate helped the experience

Wonderful evening at the Black Tartan - we were lucky enough to experience a Scottish inspired 7-course blind tasting menu, which exceeded our expectations. Chef Ian was meticulous in his preparation and attention to details. He took his time explaining each dish and was very approachable. Carly was lovely and timed every aspect of the evening flawlessly. The food was fantastic and the wine pairings perfectly complemented each dish. This was our first time at the Black Tartan, and we will definitely be back to try more of Chef Ian’s creative menus!

If we could rate it higher than 5* we would! We had the 7-course tasting menu following a Scottish Robbie Burns theme and just loved it!
Chef Ian came out at every course and explained the dishes and oh my, the food was spectacular! The flavours, the textures, the creativity - just amazing!
This was our first visit and well worth the drive from Ottawa.
Just can't say enough good things about our meal and the attentive service.

We were gifted dinner here as a wedding present. The food was superb, the service excellent and the ambiance welcoming.

We would highly recommend and will be back.
