The Library at Douneside House

Tarland • Scotland

Overview

Intimate, atmospheric, and limited to only 14 diners, Douneside House's Library restaurant offers a unique dining experience.  Surrounded by old books, antiques, an open fire, and candlelit tables, the setting is reminiscent of a bygone era; however, the Library's tasting menu celebrates tradition with a twist.  Using only the finest local suppliers, the Library's triple rosette-awarded tasting menu draws on a range of the Chef's global inspiration and influences. Guests are guided through a seasonal, 6-course culinary journey, further enhanced by an optional wine or non-alcoholic drink flight. The Sommelier (James Payne – former winner of UK Sommelier of the Year) works closely with the kitchen team to select wines that enhance the dishes. The wine flight includes interesting and diverse wines specially selected from the Library's extensive wine list featuring renowned winemakers from around the World.
