Norn has been open for almost 16 months and strives to present the best of local Scottish ingredients and those that promote sustainability in their environment.  It is made up of 2 medium sized rooms with small bare wood tables and chairs.  Lots of lighting, reasonably loud music and a mixed age crowd add to the casual feel of the place.  In one dining room a large window looks into the kitchen.  They offer only tasting menus of 4 or 7 courses with wine pairings offered for both.  They also have a wine list composed almost exclusively of natural wines.  Service in the front of the house is by Laura Smith, the co-owner and wife of Chef Scott Smith who run the kitchen.  Both are friendly and personable.  Laura will help you navigate the wine list and Chef Scott brings out some of the courses and is happy to engage in conversation about the food.  You feel like you’re dining in their home.   Continue reading →
