North Port, located in central Perth, offers a historic dining experience within a cozy, intimate 18th-century setting. Food quality is generally praised for its presentation and flavor blends, with specific mentions of excellent haddock, lamb, and creative starters. However, service experiences vary significantly; while many find it professional and timely, others report slow pacing, cold food, and indifferent attitudes. The atmosphere is suitable for date nights or pre-theater meals, featuring a warm ambiance with candlelight. Value perceptions differ, with some appreciating the lunch set menus, while others feel portions are small or prices high relative to service inconsistencies. Overall, it remains a highly-rated venue despite occasional operational lapses.
Ideal for diners seeking historic ambiance and refined cuisine, with attention to service timing recommended.
£££Modern British
This former railway hotel may date back to 1866, but the inside has a super-smart modern look thanks to the owners of nearby Ballintaggart Farm; pass through the small library-cum-lounge and you’ll find a cosy, homely restaurant. 'Scottish' and 'seasonal' are the guiding principles of the cooking, which harnesses local ingredients from Isle of Mull crab to Perthshire wild mushrooms to power the generously sized and flavoured dishes. The owners are also wine enthusiasts and an impressive selection of whiskies and cocktails are on offer too.
£££Classic Cuisine
You know what you're getting at Collinsons: an experienced chef showing his skill in delivering generous, consistently enjoyable dishes that are classic to the core. You're likely to find some of Chef-Owner Stephen Collinson's signatures recurring on the menu, like smoked haddock rarebit with leek or roasted venison with a port and cassis sauce. Whilst it may be tucked away down a quiet street, the restaurant itself is hard to miss thanks to its name etched across the floor-to-ceiling windows.
