Just amazing. Have had my eye on this place since my mom moved to Carleton Place. Every expectation was met with the visit. We... loved solving the puzzle that comprised the blind tasting menu. We had their four course offering but I have no doubt I will beback in the future for the seven course experience. The chef came out to explain each dish to the group of diners and it reallymade the experience feel so special and unique. The menu highlighted the flavours of the season spectacularly. Can't wait tocome back. Read more

I'm going to start by saying that both my boyfriend and I agree that it was an absolutely amazing anniversary. Eating at this... restaurant wasn't only a unique and wonderful experience but the food was exquisite. All the flavors, sweetness, saltiness andso forth were incredibly well balanced. We enjoyed every bite. I decided to take part in the wine pairing which was on point anddelicious. The chef coming out and explaining each meal and where it was locally sourced made us appreciate each bite that muchmore knowing that so much thought and love was put into each meal. This also gave the experience an extra touch. We will be backfor sure and will be recommending this wonderful restaurant to everybody we know. Thank you Ian for such a fantastic anniversaryevening Read more

My wife and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary at Black Tartan. Ian and team did a fantastic job making the evening special and... memorable. The food overall was excellent and we had fun comparing what course was our favorite. My wife loved the wine pairing.I enjoyed the nice variety of draft beer selection. Definitely recommended for anyone wanting fine dining with a localflare. They change their menu once a month. We will be back. Read more

Extraordinary! If you are passionate about food and looking for a unique experience, then Black Tartan Kitchen serves up a meal... that no foodie should miss. There is no question that if the Michelin guide actually came to Canada that this restaurant wouldhave at *least* one star. The food is playful, creative, flavourful and delicious. So much thought and effort goes into everycourse, it is simply a wonder that they are able to execute at such a high level across so many courses (we participated in the7 course blind tasting menu). Beyond the food, the service is impeccable, and head chef Ian Carswell was very responsive to arequest for accommodation on the blind tasting menu, creating an alternative dish which was stunning. A very, very minorquibble (literally the only negative I can think of) - one of the bathrooms that my partner used during the meal was a bit of amess. But that does not detract from an experience that is definitely top 3 in my lifetime, and that I'm sure I will bethinking about for years to come. The fact that the menu changes monthly makes me giddy to think that I can enter into a freshexperience the next time I make my way to Black Tartan Kitchen. Read more

Visiting from Alberta and my sister took me for the 5 course dinner. What an amazing and delicious meal. From the extraordinary... delicate and delightful flavour of the soup and its crispy flourishes to every tiny detail of each dish - it was a tantalizingexperience for the taste buds. Exquisitely presented. Outstanding experience! Absolutely loved the mind puzzler! Hope we win....either way - we will be back. Read more

We can?t possibly say enough about the quality of food, drinks, service and environment at Black Tartan. We recently did the 7... Course Dinner and it was fantastic. If you want a really special dining experience, they won?t disappoint. Read more

We are glad that we tried this restaurant before Black Tartan is closed for renovation until Aug/Sept (You can plug in to their... Facebook page to get their latest update). It seems that their menu has changed since we had dinner there in Sept. 2019. Theychanged to a more upscale type of menu now and only offer 4-course or 7-course type menu with wine pairing. I think theirspecialty food (foie gras, escargots, duck breast, steak-frites) will still be included in the new menu. We had a good meal andI hope to go back to try their new menu after their renovation. Good job to bring a nice classic French bistro to Ottawa!­­ Read more
