Enjoy a wonderful evening of dinner at the Black Trumpet Bistro

Black Trumpet is a two-story bistro and wine bar in the heart of Portsmouth’s historic old port. Both floors offer views of the Piscataqua River and the oft-photographed tugboats that still escort enormous tankers into the harbor.

The building that houses Black Trumpet claims historical significance for two reasons. Signatures on the hand-hewn beams in the wine bar from the early 19th century reveal the space’s original occupant, a ship’s chandlery that sold wares to the many colonial ships using the harbor. On a more contemporary historical note, the address 29 Ceres has hosted two of the most distinguished dining destinations the Seacoast area has ever seen.: Blue Strawbery (1970-1996), and Lindbergh’s Crossing (1996-2007).
