Brodies in Dumfries & Galloway

Called in for drinks and we had a fabulous night. Great staff and gins were excellent.

We absolutely loved our meal at Brodies, high quality ingredients and exceptional service.

Superb meal and friendly service 👌

Pleasant "bistro" serving coffee to full meals - breakfast lunch and dinner.. seven days. Good place for a drink in the "gin"room. Would recommend.

Dropped in for a bite to eat on way to Scotland. Food was excellent, as was the service. Some of my wife’s favourite things are white chocolate, raspberries and scones, they had them all in one scone! Result. Well worth a visit if you’re travelling on the M6.

We were so looking forward to having a birthday lunch on 29th January 2025. We have previously had amazing meals on previous visits to Moffat. Unfortunately this time was a disaster. We were only offered the winter lunch menu which was not great. We both ordered steak pie assuming it was made on the premises. It was obviously not. Pastry was awful and lacked steak. It also didn’t come with any vegetables. Only chips and mashed potatoes. We did talk to a member of staff and she confirmed it was bought in and she would inform the chef. If we had known we would have gone to local butcher and cooked our own. So disappointed ☹️

Brilliant discover. Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Looking forward to next visit.

Called in for a lunch and greeted by a lovely lady, who directed us to a little table in the corner. There’s a really lovely atmosphere in this place, the staff are very friendly and the lunch menu is varied. Our food and drinks arrived with a smile, we even received water for the table, with a slice of lemon. This is a wonderful place to meet up with friends or family, they even allow your four legged friends in too.

We visited Brodies for their New Years Eve menu and the service and food were exceptional. Absolutely 5 star! Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff - they were all super friendly and attentive. The Set Menu on NYE was £85pp and worth every penny. From the moment we entered the restaurant we knew everything was going to be fantastic. We will definitely be visiting again - highly recommend. Thank You to all the team.

Brodies is the reason that we come to Moffat! We regularly travel from the Midlands to the Scottish Highlands and Moffat is the perfect stop over. Danni and her family at Brodies provide superb food in a wonderful ambiance. Thank you again for another delicious evening.

Fab food and fab service every time we visit Brodies 😊

Very friendly, lovely food, nice environment. Was very busy but we were lucky enough to get the last table for two. Staff were apologetic for delay in service as they tried their hardest to keep everyone happy. But we had no complaints 😊

Yesterday I attended a group Christmas lunch at Broadies restaurant. I have had many meals there over the years and the first thing I like is the genuine welcome. This time I was also impressed with the large table setting, candles , miniature Christmas decorations and real Ivy running down the centre of our long table. I really enjoyed my very tasty three course meal. The main was off the bone Pheasant. All the food had marvellous and delicate tastes plus the presentation was reminiscent of what one would see on a Master Chef TV programme. However, it had the added benefit of satisfying a person who had also completed a 3 mile group walk and hour before and was very hungry! Thanks to all the staff at Broadies in Moffat.

Wonderfully friendly staff. Did not feel rushed, we were able to enjoy our meal.

Very nice food and a lovely welcome

Lovely cafe/restaurant. Very attentive staff and like eating in your living room. Very cosy.

Such a beautiful place, lovely decor. We attended with 4 adults and 2 year old. They were so welcoming and attentive, moving chairs etc but genuinely interested in chatting to us too.

Stopped here a couple of times on the way south. Great place to stop. Lovely coffee and scones. Also staff very friendly.

A lovely homely atmosphere in Brodies. Lovely Staff and equally lovely food. The afternoon tea was delicious.

Just popped in for lunch, excellent food, very good service, and lovely decor a must visit 😎.

Lovely restaurant, cosy and tastefully decorated. Very friendly and efficient staff. Food was imaginative, beautifully presented and delicious. It was also very reasonably priced. We highly recommend Brodies and will definitely be back!

What a lovely place. We were a party of guests for Claire & Paul pre wedding.

One of the best restaurants I have been to over the last few years…couldn’t get better …so friendly service from the owner and her staff, food fantastic, surroundings outstanding …cannot be improved….a must visit and I guarantee you will not be impressed

We were given a voucher for afternoon tea from our friends. This was our first visit to Brodie's. We received a lovely welcome from Danny. We were shown into a lovely lounge. This was a great seating area, with lots of privacy. Not squashed in like other places we've been too. Danny brought our huge pot of coffee and hot water. Then brought an absolutely amazing 3 tier set of tasty sandwiches, scones, cream, jam and delightful cakes. We thoroughly enjoyed every morsel. There was no rush and we had the loveliest of time. We would definitely recommend coming here. We will most definitely be back. One of the best afternoon teas we've had. Thank you

Beautiful and quirky cafe. I sat in the quiet and comfy bar area and enjoyed a lovely lunch and dessert. Definitely recommend.

Outstanding for the ambience and friendly service! The scones are some of the best I've ever tasted and the tea was excellent. Loved it all! Will definitely be back!

Stopped in Moffat to break our journey north and called in to Brodie's for coffee and cake. Excellent drinks and the freshest scones!

What a lovely restaurant! Food was absolutely delicious Cheese Soufflé was the best I’ve ever had, make sure you book if your visiting Moffat. Gin lounge was lovely. Staff were very courteous, friendly & professional without being overbearing and the ambience were great.

Second time visiting Brodies although a few years apart the service and quality hadn't changed, still excellent and worth full marks. Booked a table for Saturday evening and although they now ask for a deposit to avoid no shows, this was easy to arrange from afar and secure and I agree with the principle to protect small businesses..... Arrived early as we were staying in the town and shown through to the Gin lounge for a drink and to look at the menu ...... Asked then if we wanted to order early or wait until our booked time to order. We chose the former as we we'd not had lunch (i was trying to make sure i made it to the cheese board for desert but failed). My wife had the beetroot and goats cheese starter and really enjoyed the textures and flavours whilst i choose the Cheese Souffle, i mean WOW, this was perfect, rich and full of flavour. Main course was Chicken for my wife and Sirloin steak for myself, both cooked to perfection and very tasty ....... Never made it to desert (again) but the options looked lovely !! If you are in the area, deffo book a table and enjoy ..........

Great food, atmosphere and the staff are great.

Really nice food, and friendly service

What an amazing restaurant! We were able to take our dogs too who were made very welcome. Food was delicious and look forward to going back before we leave Moffat. Staff and ambience were great.

We stopped over in Moffat on our way to NW Scotland. We had a most delightful meal. Super presentation and very tasty. All beginning with a raspberry gin in the gin lounge. Pleasant and timely service.

Lovely cafe, good coffee and cakes, really lovely staff. Great vintage style decor with big comfy chairs and sofas, and dog friendly too.

We fancied a Sunday Roast dinner and Brodies is the perfect place to get one! We popped in the night before to book, as we could see how popular the place was. Upon arriving at midday, we received a lovely warm welcome and were sat at a great seat by the window. We both ordered roast beef (pork was also available) which came with all the trimmings and a delicious gravy along with horseradish sauce. We had room for puddings and picked a delicious chocolate brownie and white chocolate & raspberry cheesecake. I had plenty of food but my husband wished he’d gone all out and picked a starter too. Highly recommended and we cannot wait to return on our next visit to Moffat.

What a special place! We had a delicious family supper here. A warm, friendly and efficient team with excellent chef. Highly recommended! The Evans Family x

Fantastic food in a relaxed atmosphere prices are good for gourmet meals but expect smaller portions as the focus is quality which was great for us! Also they are dog friendly with a terrific gin lounge will definitely be back when in the area thanks Frank & Karen Duckworth

Wonderfully cooked and presented food, and a delightful evening. We would highly recommend this lovely restaurant. Dog friendly and skilled at meeting dietary sensitivities. Yum yum.

Stopped on the drive from Aberdeen to Birmingham. No booking, and were welcomed wonderfully. Good quality food, really excellent cocktails and desserts! Really recommend.

First visit. Can highly recommend 👌 Really make an effort to gave something different on the menu

Great restaurant great staff food excellent as a family of 4 adults 2 kids a dog the service and food was excellent s good we booked to go in on our way back in a few days The Stewart/Khindria family

No thanks! We went for Lunch! The food was fresh and looked nice but the portions were really tiny! Had a Quiche that was about the size of two fishfingers. My husbands lunch… a few kofta balls as big as s childrens snack! Bill was therefore big and insane compared to the food! Adding the unfriendly service will keep us away in the future!

Fabulous dinner here last Friday.. Delicious food ( cheese souffle excelllenr ) and very friendly and efficient service.. Not to be missed if you’re in the area

A lovely cafe with good tea and food in the heart of Moffat. We came by for lunch on-route to Penrith and the relaxed stylish vibe fitted perfectly. Service was also friendly and on-point. We loved their good quality tea - very flavorful and fragrant. Food was a mixed bag - the homemade tart was alright, the sweet potato fries could’ve been better, the fish croquettes were good, though the lemon cake was too sweet IMHO. Nonetheless we had a pleasant time and would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Wow! Fantastic restaurant. Loved everything about this place! Food taste and presentation was exquisite!

Lovely food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Dog-friendly too!

Edited 4/7/24 Just as good as I remembered. Everything we had was so tasty. Delicious food. Nice ambience. Great choice of Gins. Good local beer

Enjoyed a terrific meal here .The food was superb including the vegetarian option , loved the asparagus bhaji . The comfy sofas and overall atmosphere was lovely very relaxed and staff very helpful . Lovely experience for last night of our holiday in Scotland. We have dined out most nights and this was definitely one of the best .

What a charming restaurant. Hospitality was unbelievable, very relaxed and gentle. The surroundings so very tasteful and relaxing, I don’t think I have ever been to a place quite like Brodies or been quite so well looked after. The presentation of our meal a work of art and totally delicious. Would so love to visit and eat there again should we ever be back in Moffat.

Really enjoyed the experience and can't wait to come back. Popped in by chance with my dog whilst out walking in Moffat. Great service and excellent food choices for all diets. Really relaxing atmosphere.

I took a coachload of 31 gardeners to Brodies for a lunch of soup, sandwich, coffee and traybake and everyone was impressed by their efficiency and friendliness but more particularly by the delicious homemade soup, very thick extremely tasty sandwiches along with a selection of tempting sweet things. They had additionally organised the tables to seat vegetarians separately with their own selection of sandwiches. A very thoughtful, organised family run establishment to be recommended.

Absolutely fabulous meal. Each course a work of art, full of flavour and beautifully presented. Very welcoming staff and warm atmosphere

Absolutely delicious meal here, the poor workers were run off there feet and couldn't do enough for us, would highly recommend.

Had a most enjoyable lunch there. The people there were friendly and most accommodating. They found us a table that catered for our friends dog at the back of the restaurant and ensured that we didn't disturb the other diners.

What a find. A lovely comfortable room to drink in before and after dinner. Lovely staff and an excellent meal. The Black Turbert was a very good plate of food. Beautifully cooked and presented. Well done.

Soup, Fish cakes & side salad were delicious 😋

You know when you are onto a good thing when you see a restaurant with 'reserved' on the majority of tables BUT you get lucky and find a table. We had lunch at Brodies last year and barely considered anywhere else to go when we came back to Moffat. The food was good, but what we had seemed more memorable last year (?). The service was excellent, and the ambience was only spoiled by a toddler continually running through the dining area, followed by an old sibling as a minder. I'm surprised that nothing was said to the parents regarding this intrusion into all the other diners repast. Dog friendly classy joints are more common in Scotland but a welcome resource all the same.

Cute little spot, with very friendly service. They were quite busy when we arrived, so probably best if you can make a reservation before you go.

Really nice! Food excellent and warm homely atmosphere and excellent coffee!

This was the first time we had eaten at Brodies, very impressed with the attention to detail. The place has a lovely relaxed vibe, the staff are friendly and chat away, the owner is a lovely lady who chatted with all of the tables. We had Cauliflour and duck 2 ways for starters and Salmon / pork fillet for mains, all were cooked to perfection and full of flavour /well presented. Desserts were lemon posset and Dark caramelised sugar tart with blood orange sorbet. If your in Moffat eat here it's Banging 👌. 5🌟

Lovely afternoon tea,with very helpful staff.

A lovely find hidden away just off the high street. Friendly, welcoming staff and lovely food - well cooked with excellent flavours. We'll be back when visiting Moffat again.

The starter of fish balls was mediocre more like fish cakes from Iceland but round, Second course was alright, potatoes, peppers very good broccoli ok, salmon was very dry, We did express this and were told the chef apologised. I was starving so ate most of it but couldn't finish the last of the salmon. My son had the steak which was small but good. If you are paying between £18 and £24 for a main meal you expect the salon to be something you cant do better at home. Felt very disappointed, Waiting staff were lovely.

A lovely coffee shop, tea rooms and Gin Bar. Food was first class and just what was needed after travelling from South Wales. Would recommend 100%. Hope to visit again

Sad to have to write this review. Have eaten at Brodies on numerous occasions and always had first class food and service. Attended for dinner last night and was extremely disappointed. Food was way below standard of previous experiences with basic starters. Mains had over reduced gravy which tasted burnt. Over salted sauce on fish. The desserts which are usually the star of the show also greatly disappointed. However possibly the worst element was the bottle of pinot grigio which was so acidic it was undrinkable. Raised the disappointment in the food and particularly the wine issue with the staff. Were advised that chef tried wine and all was fine. No comments on disappointing food. Offered complimentary coffee which we declined. Overall an abysmal dining experience from a restaurant which we have frequented on many occasions. Sorry Brodies but you have now just lost 2 loyal customers. Unfortunately the offer of a free coffee did not compensate for how poor the meal was.

Very congenial restaurant. I had Lso rung them the previous day and had to leave a message to book lunch. They rang.back at 9.15 which was great as I could then make definite plans.

Stopped in here on my rest day on the SUW hike, ready to replenish a few calories! Couldn’t have asked for better. The food was absolutely delicious and so filling (a main and a dessert and I couldn’t eat another bite!) - attention to detail on the food was amazing with the vegetables perfectly cooked, and all beautifully presented. The people working there were so welcoming and attentive, I had a wonderful evening. Thank you!

Super friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, overwhelmingly large variety of drinks

We have dined in Brodie’s several times whenever we visit Moffat and have always had a warm welcome . Unfortunately this time we were met with a very rude young man who asked if we were ‘looking for something to eat ‘ then proceeded to tell us ‘they were too busy ‘ this was despite several empty tables and the sitting area being empty . Not the warmest of welcomes and our impression was ‘ we weren’t wanted ‘ maybe it was the rainwear and small dog that was not in keeping with their standards .its reassuring to know that in this economic climate some restaurants are able to turn away business , long may it continue for Brodies.

Fantastic! Lovely greeting on entry and a biscuit for our dog. Smashing tea served in proper bone china cups and delicious courgette and avocado cake. What blew me away was the proprietor offering to phone other restaurants for another couple were searching for dinner that night. Outstanding care and attention.

Very welcoming and relaxing spot to enjoy a cuppa and delicious cakes. Holly, our lab was delighted with the biscuits too.

Good food, very good service, and the only minus was lack of customers / atmosphere. We enjoyed the food and gin. Reasonably priced for the quality of the meal. Would definitely recommend.

Been several times in the passing and every time was as good as the last. Friendly and very helpful staff, great food, coffee and fabulous afternoon teas. would highly recommend Brodies to anyone who is passing through Moffat. Just wished we lived closer for more visits

Amazing food & great atmosphere. Friendly service was so good too.

Always an amazing visit. Lovely staff, lovely food, super dog friendly. The cocktails and the wine were prefect. Thanku for making our visit special x

A wonderful evening at Brodies for drinks and a family meal for seventeen of us and three dogs! Fabulous food, service and beautiful table layout. The evening was special and will be remembered. Thank you!

Thanks brilliant night,looked after family celebration

Fantastic Valentines dinner, wonderful food and friendly staff, making for a superb evening. Brodies never fail to impress.

We traveled from York to Brodies in Moffat for their Valentines dinner and it was worth every minute of the 2.5 hour journey. Great value, great food, welcoming premises but above all else a warm welcome and great service. We have been regular visitors to Brodies since their opening in 2011 and have enjoyed every visit since then and we are talking in excess of a hundred visits. The owners and staff are much valued friends who work their socks off to give every visitor the best possible experience and we believe that they deserve to be respected for that.

Very nice afternoon tea for 2, one of them gluten free. Gluten free option was very nice. Refills of tea/coffee readily available at no extra cost. Price of afternoon tea a little inflated I think, but a treat.

Well, what can I say ! We ignored the 1-2 star reviews , then and it turns out they are accurate! Unfriendly and rude woman everyone mentions is actually one of the biggest downfalls of the place ! If she is the owner , time to make some drastic attitude adjustments .

Great little restaurant, first time visiting and certainly will come back! Lovely staff and delicious food. I don’t normally review, but other reading the unfair 1 star review, I thought I would. This is a small family run business that can fill up in the evening very quickly, as I know I was lucky to get the last available table for the evening. Yes the person might have driven 7 hours, and yes the restaurant might appear to be empty tables, but as the tables aren’t turned at night, the restaurant was full, it isn’t the restaurant’s fault. I heard the waitress suggest to the customer to try Claudio's, and it was said in a polite, positive and helpful manner. So what if there’s a good banter between the staff and customers? I think the last reviewer shouldn’t have blamed the restaurant just because they didn’t get what they want! At least they got fed over the road! I really wish people would be more supportive to these small businesses rather than being dismissive, just saying.

I rate this a 1 star as we were turned away at 8 pm on a Saturday night after a 7 hour drive from Berkshire England, 3 hours before closing and 6 empty tables in view , no kindness or friendly tone from woman at the bar. She basically said if we are booked then we are booked and not taking any onen. Then I witnessed a customer cuffing a waitress in the side of the head in some friendly banter ? Was not impressed . Clearly not the place to come then ! The woman was dismissive and simply told me to try Caudios across the road … so we did! Busy as can be but welcomed us with warmth and friendly chat even 15 minutes before closing! Wonderful happy staff at Claudius! Great food and wonderful atmosphere at Claudios .. will never set foot into Brodies, as first impressions are everything!

Staying in Moffat on a short break and decided to call in here for lunch on a Winter’s day. Lots of reserved tables but shown to a lovely table next to the fire, very cosy. Alex was our waiter, he’s very friendly and attentive with excellent customer service. He even checked if we wanted our hot drinks before or with our food. Menu choices made and we opted for chicken goujon & fish finger sandwiches, both served with side of chips, both very tasty meals. Desserts next and we opted for toffee cake & Bakewell cake, another excellent choice. We’ve been to lots of restaurants, cafes etc. over the years and can definitely say, this is one of the best.

Can only speak second hand to the food as I didn’t eat myself, but the service and vibe was excellent. Super friendly and cosy by the fire after a wee hill, appreciated the warmth of our host also

Booked for a surprise 60th lunch for 4 adults and 2 kids. The staff and service were great, the food delicious. Would definitely visit again. It's also dog friendly, which is a major bonus for us.

Quirky and delightful decor. Warm and friendly staff. Delicious menu, always seasonal adjustments.

Everything about Brodie's is top notch. Will be back in the New Year

Lovely atmosphere. Staff very professional and polite. Nice place to have a morning coffee.

Was travelling back up from Old Trafford on our way back to Fife and despite last orders being 8pm they were prepared to wait for us knowing it might have been a struggle for us to get there on time. The food and service were excellent and the place was full. Great atmosphere and well worth the effort of get there.

A Christmas lunch very poor main all left hungry very por food .£16 for a Christmas lunch very poor food can't recommend this restaurant

Stopped here for just a light lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Everything seems to be made using good quality ingredients and the prices are extremely reasonable. The staff were lovely and able to advise us on food allergens. They even had gluten free and lactose free cakes! Which meant we just had to take cake away with us for later and it did not disappoint! Lovely place would definitely recommend.

Gorgeous food, great atmosphere

Lovely coffee shop which triples as a wine bar and a restaurant. Welcoming staff who have a fascination of old cars in their very clean facilities. Dog friendly too!

Absolutely the vest place to dine, really interesting place with their decor, the afternoon tea room is nothing but exceptional. This is one place you must visit and the staff are really friendly and helpful

Fantastic in every way, food, service and ambience.

What a lovely place, the staff, food and drinks were amazing. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Had a lovely visit to Brodies ,lovely friendly staff.xx

Brodies is a charming coffee haven where we found ourselves drawn to the irresistible display of cakes. Despite a hearty breakfast, the restaurant's elegantly decorated interior and inviting ambiance tempted us to indulge. While we missed sampling the food this time, the diverse menu promises a culinary adventure for our next visit. Brodies, with its delightful atmosphere and expertly brewed coffee, is a must-try for those seeking a cozy and tasteful experience.

We ate here as a party of 3 on the 11th November. Greeted warmly, sat in the bar area until our table was ready. Great wine and gin list, but there's everything else you can think of if that's not your thing. The rose wine was amazing 👏. We ordered our food, and got pork two ways, the cod and the vegetarian dish, all excellent and the portions are perfect. We had the cheeseboard, honey pears and ice cream for afters, beautiful. Although the cheese on the cheeseboard could have been a bit more varied, it was nice enough but seemed to be 3 cuts of the same cheddar and 1 blue . Bit odd. However, we would happily return and recommend. The staff and the ambience are perfect in this fabulous little place. 😍
