About Duncan's in Perth

Perth is the county town for an area as geographically diverse as any in Britain. Fertile straths and berry fields give way to moorland and forest and then to high mountain tops. Consequently, we are blessed with a remarkable local larder, from which Duncan’s draws to sympathetically create modern cuisine with a different twist.

The restaurant changed hands in March 2007 and is now under the management of James Duncan, head chef of the previous incarnation, Metzo. Training in Brittany and Edinburgh gave James a love of regional produce, which he is continuing to develop along with local farms in order to make best use of Scotland’s larder.

The menu changes monthly, evolving with the seasons and features some of the best lamb, beef, pork and seafood to be found.

We are located in a quiet street in the city centre close to the Concert Hall and within walking distance of many of the hotels and guest houses, although there is ample parking on Tay Street just behind the restaurant.

We couldn’t hope to provide the best seasonal produce without the help of our suppliers so I would like to take this opportunity to thank them, they are:

The Handy Shop in Crieff, scouring the Glasgow Fruit and Vegetable Market for the freshest produce.

Willie Little of Ocean Traders in Perth, Fresh Fish and Shellfish daily from the North

Simon Howie Butchers of Dunning, who supply our Game in Season

Tom Mitchell of Puddledub Pork, Clentrie Farm, who supply our bacon and magnificent whole shoulders for our slow roast pork.

Steven Mitchell of Puddledub Buffalo, suppliers of superior quality naturally reared and grass-fed meat.
