Cafe Rendezvous in Dumfries & Galloway

This was the only place open on a damp day. It was bustling with people enjoying their food. We were given a friendly welcome from a gentleman behind the counter with the tempting cakes and biscuits. We both opted for a smoked salmon salad with avocado and it was as good as anywhere. The cafe latte and decaf tea helped to restore us after the chill wind in the square. I had a chat with a group of 3 behind us about their new local house, just built. We departed contented with things generally and glad to receive Scottish hospitality again.

Excellent cafe that kept us coming back for lunch during our stay in the area over Christmas and NewYear. Do book though- it's that popular. A very friendly, welcoming atmosphere with simple well made and reasonably priced dishes. Can't recommend highly enough.

We were delighted to visit a few times during the Book Festival. Rendezvous is a friendly and informal cafe with attentive staff who despite being very busy always put you at ease and make time to chat. The cafe provides an extensive menu of tasty snacks, home made meals, scrumptious cakes and delightful deserts. In summary together with friends we can testify the cafe offers high quality fresh food at a reasonable price with top class customer service.

Came here during our stay in Wigtown for both breakfast and lunch. Really lovely staff and great fresh food. Clearly a hit with the locals too - I’ve never seen scones run out so fast!

An absolute gem. The coffee was the nicest I have had this holiday. Delectable selection of cakes and pies but it is the simple bacon and egg sandwich that brought us back again today. Warm, friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommended

Good coffee stop, had skimmed milk for skinny latte! Tempting homemade cake display. Very clean and tidy. Helpful and friendly staff.

Great little place. Coped well with my many intolerances. Reasonable prices too. Very popular with locals at lunchtime.

Called in for breakfast before setting off on a walk, super friendly staff, delicious scrambled egg on toast and a perfect coffee. As we were seated quite near the counter we couldn't help but spot the fabulous looking cake selection. Called back after our walk to take some home with us, I can highly recommend the Ecclefechan Tart. Will definitely be back.

What a gem! We were about to leave Wigtown having browsed and bought books but fancied coffee and a cake. From the outside the cafe didn’t look very exciting but a Tripadvisor review persuaded us to try. Smiley, warm and welcoming staff, the most delicious range of homemade cakes, tray bakes and biscuits, we were spoilt for choice. Everything tasted delicious we had coffee, milkshakes and various treats. Rugby slice was a new one on us but a big hit! Thank you we’ll come again and again and remember to get take away cake too or even try a savoury special.

Good cafe. Was busy (good sign) but staff were welcoming and a table freed up. Nice selection of cakes and tea… hit the spot

Although the cafe was very busy, the staff went out of their way to make a table available to us. Food arrived quickly and was excellent - the chips could not have been better, crispy but also fluffy on the inside. There was a great array of cakes available, which sadly we couldn't look at because of our diets - but on previous visits have been very good. Certainly worth 5 stars.

We called in for a meal when visiting Wigtown for the book festival. We were very warmly welcomed, even though it was near to closing time. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. Thank you!

We stopped by here for coffee - but smelt the food and stayed for lunch - it is a great little place with so much choice, and everything we tried was really nice. Soup, panini and the cake and waffle were lovely. Friendly, very efficient service - would highly recommend.

Welcoming cafe. Strawberries and ice-cream spoilt by very sickly sugary strawberry sauce which was not in the description. You couldn't taste the strawberries.

Ate here for lunch whilst on holiday. Popular place some people had reserved tables. Staff were friendly and helpful. Place is clean. Food was excellent and best coffee i have had in Scotland this trip. Would return if im in the area again.

We visited here after a stroll around the town, we had gone by a few times and the few tables outside were always full- always a good sign! We sat inside and were spoilt for choice with the menu, they offer light bites, coffee and...

Great cafe. Very warm welcome. Hot buttery toast. Much needed place for locals and travellers alike. Friendly service.

Good homemade food. Lots of variety on the menu. Generous portions served, we had the chicken burger and chicken wrap. My husband loved the homemade coleslaw. The cakes looked divine but unfortunately we were too full.

Lentil soup was fab, then Ecclefechan tart and cream, absolutely gorgeous, and caramel apple pie and ice cream- fabulous. The owners could not have been lovelier. Great friendly atmosphere. They even went and bought Earl Grey teabags for me. Coffee was very enjoyable.

With only 8 tables we were lucky to find one available on our lunchtime visit. From an extensive menu of hot meals, sandwiches, pancakes and cakes we selected a bacon roll, millionaire's shortbread and caramel apple pie to go with our tea and coffee. All...

We stopped here on a wet Thursday just after the local book festival, it was the only cafe open! We are both glad it was as the staff were very pleasant and the coffee and selection of food was very good. I plumbed for cake...

Stopped here for lunch while visiting Wigtown. Home made mushroom soup was excellent. Staff were friendly with great service

Arrived for the Book Festival and stopped for a quick break. Fabulous food, great coffee and Susan was friendly and up for a bit of banter. Definitely recommend

Stopped here for a lunch bite, we were in a bit of a rush but service was quick. Was a lovely sunny day and got lucky with one of the three tables on the pavement as inside was full. Ice-cream coffee shake was most welcome...

Popped into Cafe Rendezvous for a coffee and light lunch and honestly can't fault it. Really friendly and quick service with decent coffee and tasty food. Pretty reasonable cost-wise too. Would recommend.

Great spot just off main street, we sat outside and in the hour we were there we saw at least 10 cars. The staff are attentive, menu all home cooked/baked food. Our group sampled the cakes, panini and the chips- all top notch! Inside looks...

My husband and I had a lovely lunch here. We sat outside..service was very efficient, I had macaroni and cheese ..it was delicious also very reasonable..we highly recommend it

Friendly staff. Food and cakes lovely a d good value. Coffee very nice. A nice pms W with home cooked produce. Would return

Popped in for coffee and cake. Can recommend the almond slice..it was lovely. Good service and lovely coffee.

We visited the cafe last week during a trip to Wigtown. I have coeliac disease so can be a bit anxious about eating out in new places but the server and kitchen staff were knowledgeable about coeliac and their menu and were able to advise on the best options for me. I felt completely relaxed and really enjoyed my lunch in this lovely cafe with friendly staff. My husband also thoroughly enjoyed his meal. If we’re in the area again we’ll definitely be back!

Had a great coffee and piece of cake here. Friendly staff and nice clean loos. Advised the management that their TA page said they were closed every day, they didn’t know and would look into it.

Had lunch here and the food was very good as was the service. Bonus was they were Covid conscious and cleaned tables, chairs and menus etc as and when required. Will visit again when back in Wigtown.

A truly wonderful cafe! We were treated to the best gluten free baking we have ever tasted. Best compliment we can pay is that you would not have known it was gluten free! Other baking we tasted was also of the highest quality. The young lady who served us was an absolute delight and clearly took pride in her baking and cafe.. Highly recommended.

Had a really lovely lunch. The staff were delightful and the place was very clean. The cafe serves simple honest food and the staff were more than happy to offer a child’s size portion of a main dish. We had a really nice lunch and I really liked the selection of local pottery for sale. I’d really recommend this hidden gem for a lunch or light snack.

I think the welcome is the key. Very lukewarm here. Too preoccupied with closing time. Nice cake though.

Stopped for tea and cake and had the most amazing carrot cake, it was delicious.Very pleasant and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

We had coffee, tea and cakes one day. Went back a few days later for the Ecclefechan tart mmmmm. Good arrangements for safety. Probably the best value of the Wigtown cafes

Impressed with menu. Great selection of food on menu. My burger was delicious and served exactly as I wanted it. Also cater for gluten free which is impressive. GF millionaires shortbread is best I've ever tested.

We'd intended going somewhere else but it was booked so we ended up here by default. The lady who received us was very friendly and helpful and quickly showed us to a table. The food was excellent and the service was very good. The range of drinks was okay. Altogether it was a very positive experience and one that we will probably repeat when we're back in Wigtown.

We went for lunch and it was really very good. We had chilli quesadillas and pannini's then chocolate cake. There's a really good selection, specials as well and plenty of vegetarian options. Good service even though they were quite busy and reasonable prices.For those who need to know, it's on the flat once you're in, but there's not a great deal of room to move around.It was the only café open in Wigtown, but it was very good.

We decided to get a snack after having a walk around Wigtown and my nephew didn't want to try the first place we saw so we walked around the corner to Cafe Rendezvous and so pleased we did! Cakes looked wonderful and my sister had the carrot cake and I chose the coffee one. My young nephew had his chicken nuggets and chips as usual and my partner had a toastie. Despite being busy, we didn't have to wait long. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and prices are very reasonable. The cakes tasted as delicious as they looked, my sister said that the carrot cake was the best she had ever tried and you got a good sized slice of cake too! Unfortunately, we didn't manage to return to Wigtown but next time we are in the area we will pop in for cake! Both my nephew and my partner enjoyed their lunches too.

We were in area for short break, and stopped by for lunch. Service was great friendly and helpful, food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Enjoyed very much, check out specials board. We had delicious Italian meatballs, and greek chicken, both tasty and authentic

Lucky find on our visit to Wigtown. Scones were to die for as nice and fresh. Lots os home baking on offer too. Would like to go back for a full meal as verything was delightful.

We had a light lunch here and found it very good. There was a very friendly welcome and we were served quickly despite the fact that the place was fairly busy. Lovely cakes and desserts as well. We’ll certainly return next time we’re in Wigtown.

This is a fantastic cafe. The food was delicious and there was a great choice of mains and cakes. My husband is Coeliac and they were very knowledgable and had a lot of choices for him. We will definitely return.

The rendezvous cafe in Wigtown Dumfries and Galloway is a shining light with Kirsty’s experience of Greek cookery. The menu board has a great mix of healthy food combinations mixed in with old school favourites. Because we have two dogs we have started asking for take away huge Greek salads, then we spoil our waste lines by picking one of Kirsty’s home baked cakes (lots of choice!). My husband and I have been coming to this area and this cafe for a number of years and never had a bad food experience. A brilliant place, long may they continue !

Fantastic place to eat! Really good fresh food,well cooked! Friendly staff who go out of their way to suit all food tastes! Their cakes and coffee are amazing!

Our favourite place to eat in wigtown! Delicious food,varied menu! Great forvegetarians and even vegans as dedicated staff go out of their way to try and accommodate all tastes and diets. Fantastic selection of puddings and cakes . Highly reccomend!

We always visit Cafe Rendevous when we are in the area and whether we go for coffee and cake or something more substantial we are never disappointed. This year I had the best brownie I have ever tasted.

I had the spicy sweet potato soup and it was well lush (as we say in Wales). The service was excellent. A great little cafe in an interesting town

There is a very wide menu for lunch too. The staff are helpful and the service is quick, even during the busy Book Festival last week, when they were also serving dinner. One of our favourite places in Wigtown!

I had a quick lunch in here during the book festival. They were very busy but happy for me to have a table on my own, and managed the busy cafe in a friendly way.

Very nice cafe. Good food, helpful friendly staff, a regular haunt of mine. Good place for morning coffee.

We wanted a good morning meal to set us up for the day touring the Mull of Galloway and the Rendevous did the job to perfection. Our food was cooked perfectly with well done bacon being well done! Well done café Rendevous…...many places never quite get this right.

A busy little cafe were we stopped for refreshments. Coffee and cake very nice and the staff friendly.

Visited this restaurant for lunch. They have a varied menu and great service.The food was tasty and hot and only draw back is it is smallish and gets crowded quickly. It is quiet realistically priced food. Would recommend this place for lunch

Both had the chicken burger from the ‘specials’ board for £8.95. Felt like everything was bought in frozen and lacked the homemade feel we expected. It was ok- but we have had far better lunches in Dumfries and Galloway this week. Table was a bit cramped but ok if we both sat facing the wall. Friendly service.

Whilst staying in the area for a few days we visited Wigtown.it was a nice sunny day so we decided to have a cheeky coffee+cake stop.we sat outside as we had our 3 dogs with us.£8 for a coffee,a tea,a slice of carrot cake +a slice of lemon+poppy seed cake.cakes tasted like homemade+ were delicious.staff were ever so friendly+helpful and thy brought everything outside for us with a smile. Will definitely call again when we go back next year.

My ham and mushroom crepe was a gooey and greasy mess served in a bowl to contain all the runny contents. Taste was OK but lacked much culinary imagination. Accompanying fries looked straight from the freezer back. Service excellent and prices reasonable. Interior very pleasant and windows provide good views of street scene.

Worth a visit for the coffee- flat white nice. Brought my wife back for a visit- drove 15 miles to here and it was closed for the day- typical !!!! Cakes looked fresh but I didn’t try them

2 weeks into being glutton free, (discovered I hated all supermarket glutton free bread and cakes!) My wife long time dairy free. We chanced upon café Rendezvous. Glutton and dairy free chocolate fudge cake!! Sorry to lovely staff for not believing you. They went to check with owner for us. BEST ever chocolate fudge cake. The owner spent half an hour giving free advice about how to make Glutton free bread and cakes. Such lovely people and food!!

Had the best bacon and egg butty take out from here. Perfect soft Scottish roll with crispy bacon and perfectly cooked egg.

Took family for a coffee and cake mid morning. Fast, friendly service. Coffee was nice and so was the chocolate cake. Had a high chair for our daughter. No stairs, so easy to get buggy in. Very reasonable priced too.

Pasamos dos semanas corriendo el libro abierto justo al otro lado de la calle, así que por supuesto probamos la comida aquí. Después de una visita nos enganchado y volvió muchas veces y tenía una pequeña 4.49 de pánico cuando pensamos que cerraban un día: donde nos dieron la tarta? ? Eso es, de hecho, una de las especialidades del rendezvous". La barra está llena de pasteles caseros, galletas y trata de que nos hizo un minucioso estudio naturalmente y no nos decepcionó (mi favorito era probablemente el pastel de tiramisú, aunque el bollo era delicioso, también). El menú es muy British Pub cafetería/cosas, con algunas ofertas realmente agradable incluido (tuve una ensalada maravillosa con la parrilla halloumi un día) - Todo preparado con cuidado. Yo creo que lo que realmente nos volver, sin embargo, la gente encantadora que trabajan aquí, que realmente te hace sentir en casa. Espero volver otra vez!

Place is brilliant!cakes are ace and coffee to die for and all that atop really lovely staff and owners!this place should be top of the list not other questionable starting with a g.

Really good food,friendly helpful staff.Definately recommend a visit here! They also sell locally made crockery!

Ross y el personal en el Café Rendezvous tienen un restaurante tan acogedor. Las sopas y paninis son deliciosos y abundantes. Como el nogal y ensaladas y tocino son una delicia. Pero los postres como el pastel de zanahoria y nuez tarta mantener volver una y otra vez.

Definitely recommend this place. Homemade food that is excellent quality, really nice staff, who treat the customers as real individuals. I certainly look forward to visiting this establishment again in the future. Top notch!

excellent food and service was really good and a very warm welcome. The coffee was excellent just wished i could of had a cake but i was so full. A lovely little coffee shop that soon fills up over lunchtime even on a rainy day.

Para el almuerzo paramos y encontramos esta joya por accidente. La comida era deliciosa, el macaroni era encantadora y cursi. El casero de manzana era tan sabrosa. estuvó Sin duda volveremos y lo recomendaría a otras personas que se paren. Gran selección de casa para...

The title says it all!honestly the best coffee in town instead of naff cafetière from other cafe this is machine and properly made!very tasty and very friendly!worth a visit over the one down the road

Good cafe, with a range of daily specials along side the set menu, the food is freshly cooked and served promptly accompanied by some delicious home baked cakes and a wide range of teas, coffees and soft drinks. Staff are friendly where nothing seems to be to much trouble if you want to adjust your meal to suit your individual tastes. Nice atmosphere with a log burner warming the place up should you feel the cold Scottish air.

I visit this cafe quite often, The food and coffee are good as is the cakes and. puddings, The premises is clean and the staff very friendly

The menu is fairly simple, but the food seems fresh and local and it delivered hot with a range of trimmings on the plate - very attractively done. There's a good range of daily specials and the apple and pork burgers were excellent ( far better than the price suggests). Coffee was very good, tap water was brought without demur. They seem to have everything right!

Nice cafe, friendly staff and a great choice of home baked cakes!! Was great to recharge the batteries between exploring the town's various bookshops.

So glad the first place we tried for lunch was full.This is such a lovely friendly cafe with delicious homemade soups - the apple crumble and custard was great too and also homemade!Only a small cafe but that made it even better for us - will certainly be back.

We stopped here to grab a bit of lunch baked potatoes with coronation chicken and tuna and a bavon roll, good size for a lunch portion. With tea, coffee and soft drink under £20. Nice clean cafe friendly service. Pleasant lunch thank you.

Sehr kleines Lokal. Der Service war freundlich, aber viel zu langsam. Nach ca 1 Stunde kam dann unser Lunch endlich auf die Tische. Hungrig und durstig haben wir alles aufgegessen. Die Atmosphere okay.

We discovered Cafe Rendevous several years ago when we had a power cut in our holiday cottage. Went looking for somewhere to get a hot drink and found this lovely place. No matter when you go in you are greeted like a long lost friend. Everything has been said about the food, the atmosphere, the staff and it's all true. We now travel the 20 + miles to Cafe Rendevous whenever we are on holiday in the area. We have had breakfast,coffee, lunch and tea and never been disappointed.

Friendly little cafe,pleasant staff,food jolly tasty.wigtown needing more eating places,but rendezvous is worth a visit

great friendly service, good choice of food freshly cooked.would recommend to others. cakes and drinks to die for.

Work in Wigtown and visit most days including as I write.all food I've had is delicious specials are special!different to other places in area. Used to use another cafe but tried here as a change and as of yet not got bored of menu and specials. A right gem in Wigtown! Welcomed at door get a tasty latte and always even when busy will the guy talk to me. Puddings are to die for aswell yet to try cakes or tray bakes never have space! If in Wigtown I'd recommend!

Excellent venue for morning coffee, light lunch, afternoon decadence. Check out the Theme nights and Friday specials too.

Lovely family run cafe serving home made cakes and scones. The coffee cake and rugby slice were delicious.

This is a small but excellent cafe just off the main street in Wigtown, easy walking distance to all the bookshops. It's all home made, with tasty main meals and fantastic cakes. Very friendly service. Will definitely return when browsing for more books!

Lovely meal, nicely presented, staff were friendly and efficient. Will definately be going back, cakes were very good indeed and nice generous mugs of coffee. Unpretentious, but owners clearly know how to run a nice cafe and tick all the boxes.

Tried the lattee and cake.Both were excellent.Nice cafe and not pretentious at all which is nice...Recommended...

Great warm friendly ,good food great service lovely place great for just a cuppa, or a light snack or something more filling got something for all appetites.

Home made food at its best, if I was not a diabetic I swear choosing a cake from t he range on offer would be really difficult! Great choice! Fab tastiest as well.

We always go there whenever we can. We are locals so we always do go on holidays and especially in the book festival. Lovely homemade food, great friendly staff and always warm and cosy at winter with Christmas decorations and special dinners on too!! Would recommend this to anyone. Family, couples, business visits and parties! Great cafe!!

A pleasant little cafe with lots of locals coming and going with friendly banter and active chatter. A good range of home baking and local ingredients based dishes, Italian and the ever popular universal dishes at a bery reasonable cost and good portions. It sits just off the main street and is easily missed - no books though :-)

Absolutely the very best light brunch in town, very good value, (they even made coronation chicken superb!) Great place all round and very fair value for such a tourist magnet as Wigtown. Consistently high quality and cheerful service, a definite find

Nice, clean cafe. Friendly staff. Prompt service. Very Reasonably priced, decent portions. Cheap and cheerful. Child friendly.

My fiancé and I stayed at near by Bladnoch (also visit the pub there the Bladnoch Inn for the food its gorgeous!) with a party of 13 for a week over new year 2014, we decided to venture out to Wigtown for a walk around the village and walk Barney the dog and felt a little peckish so happened to spot Café Rendezvous, lovely lovely little place with a really nice ambience, and the food was stunning, I had a beautiful breakfast where I tried the local tatty scones which are yummy, she had a lovely meal off the specials board. they have a really good selection of food and drinks, and we both where very happy and very full when we left lol

Had a great lunch here with a decent selection, would like come back if I'm in the area again. A lot of fine looking deserts for anyone with a sweet tooth

We often visit this cafe for great food and friendly service. The crumble is fantastic and comes with freshly made custard.
