From day one, we have wanted this little restaurant to be a space where anyone can feel comfortable & welcomed. Classic French cuisine is the root of this ethos - consistent, familiar and even nostalgic flavours from the tried & true feel good classics, yet slightly elevated with a touch of whimsy. Whether you are up for a curated culinary experience with our 4 & 7 Course tasting menus (Fri & Sat evenings), or prefer to choose your own adventure with our 3-course Table D’hote menu (Wed & Thurs evenings), or are in search of an upscale lunch à la carte menu (Thur - Sat); we have you covered! Our menus are composed entirely to showcase the best local products in Lanark County & the Ottawa Valley and are tailored monthly to best celebrate the tastes of the season. What’s more is that we tie it all together with the best small town, friendly, warm and courteous service around. Just like at a good friend’s house; we look forward to welcoming you to our kitchen! Ian Carswell (Chef/Owner)

    This was our first time to the Black Tartan restaurant. We had a wonderful experience. They took my husband's severe nut and seafood allergies seriously. The food and the service is amazing! We really appreciated the chef explaining what we were eating. Well worth it! Thank you! Suzanne

    Our experience here has always been fantastic. The chef makes a point of coming out and explaining every dish which is an added bonus. We’ve gone on many special occasions and never been disappointed by the quality of ingredients nor the obvious level of skill involved in every dish

    The food and service were both outstanding and excellent, I am celiac and they were able to adjust the dishes without sacrificing any taste. Will 100% be back again. The chef Ian came out and each course explained the dish and explained where it was locally sourced from, I did the beverage pairing and the wines were a good size pour and my husband enjoyed the desert whiskey at the end. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing food that’s locally sourced. My husband and I both said there was not one dish we didn’t enjoy or love, we have done many tastings at restaurants before and usually there is one dish that we say was not our favourite or would never have again, but at Black Tartan, each of the dishes one after another from our starter to the dessert were amazing! As well I would like to note our server Jessica was so friendly and just made the atmosphere so inviting.
