Saffy's Cafe Bar & Brasserie in South Ayrshire

We always love saffy. Could not recommend them enough

Always great service, great price, great staff and amazing food

We accidentally came across this lovely bistro on our holiday. I would certainly highly recommend it, the staff were lovely and the food was outstanding, we will definitely visit this lovely little bistro when we visit Ayr again in the near future.

31/8/24 - always brilliant food. Great team. Fab service. No rush for table back, we had our table from 1.30 until 5.30 so sat and had drinks. Nice to have a small private restaurant that is doing so well and not part of a large chain where everything is the same. Came from Prestwick for this reason. Definitely worth a visit. Well done to you all. 🥰

Amazing food and fantastic service! Beautiful atmosphere.

Nice little restaurant in my home town. Visited on a couple of occasions and enjoyed our food. Friendly staff and great service

Can't fault it...food and service superb 👌

Experience today of the Bistro was poor. Entered the Bistro for breakfast. We had to move table due to the table not being clean although had been set with napkins and cutlery. Looking round the Bistro it was clear it required to be cleaned appropriately. Food sent back due to being overcooked. A very poor experience all round .

Cozy restaurant with good food. When choosing dessert, it turned out that there was a separate children's menu. Would have been better if this children's menu had been given directly with the adult menu.

What a lovely gem of a place. My wife and I popped in at lunchtime for a coffee and soup and we're so impressed we booked for an evening meal. I recommend the haggis and black pudding fritters as a starter and the Shetland Salmon curry as a main. Definitely a place to take your special someone for a lovely dinner.

Been wanting to try here for a while and finally got round to it and it definitely didn't disappoint. Had a lovely monkfish starter, then fillet steak for my main. It was honestly the best steak I've had in years. Both washed down with a few cold pints of Peroni. We booked in for our anniversary at the end of the month straight away. I've spent the last 24hrs telling anyone that will listen how good it was and can't wait to go back

The four of us had an absolutely beautiful dinner washed down with nice wine. The fish stew was one of the best I have ever tasted..

First time at Saffy's , but definitely won't be our last. Food was wonderful 😋 service from all staff was first class and very professional. Lovely little bistro. Will definitely recommend 👌 Thank you Saffy's had a lovely time .

Visiting Ayr for 2 nights...called in on spec. The food was delicious. We shared the taco starter, the beef was very tender. Followed with the steak pie, which was full of meat, and chicken with black pudding. All served piping hot. Would definitely visit again.

Recommended to us by our BB Host Jan at Beaches ,My Boyfriend said its the best meal he's had out for a long long time he had the pig n chicken said it was delicious 😋...awesome meal definitely be back on our next visit xx

Had a really fantastic meal here in this busy little restaurant. Our meal was superb my friend had carbonara and I had the lasagna both were so tasty. I never order carbonara but on this occasion I had carbonara jealousy. The garlic bread which accompanied the meals was simply delicious. This is not an Italian restaurant, the menu is extremely varied and caters to all tastes. The drinks are reasonably priced and I had a lovely glass of Merlot This restaurant is busy and I can perfectly see why so booking is a must. I highly recommend Saffys and I look forward to my next visit. Lovely owner and nice staff. Restaurant very clean

My wife and I had lunch here on a week day. We both had a curry. Mine was the seafood curry while my wife had the beef curry. Both dishes were excellent. Service was quick and efficient. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely terrible. Don't know how this place is still operating. King prawn tempura to start,flung together,batter like cement render and completely tasteless,no garnish. Chef constantly yawning and looked unclean and uninterested. Then I had haddock and chips. Oh dear..! Overcooked fish in the same horrible tasteless batter. Half the chips were raw and the peas were slittered in cream...???

First time visiting, but will definitely be back. Food was absolutely delicious, great choice and first class service.

Great food. Always busy so difficult to get booked sometimes.

Beautiful family meal. Lovely place with beautiful food and perfect staff.

Best family run restaurant in Ayrshire. Absolutely love this place, everything about it, the friendly staff, warm cosy atmosphere and most importantly the food. You will not find better. I have worked through most of the menu but the salmon curry is a personal favourite for me, it is consistently delicious. They have lots of vegetarian, gluten free and vegan options available.

Every meal ordered by our party was spot on. The service was very well balanced and the venue was comfortable and welcoming.

Hands down the best restaurant in ayr

Love Saffys, great food, super friendly service, quirky bistro atmosphere, firm favourite.

I spent 3 days in Ayr visiting a friend and she raved about this restaurant so we finally got around to going there on my last evening before moving on as they'd been closed for a couple of days and then were fully booked when we first tried to get in. We got a table around 8pm and it was still packed with people then - it looks like the go to spot in Ayr for grub and now I know why; food was super tasty and I'd go as far to say it was one of the nicest meals I had during my 10 days or so travelling throughout Scotland. Restaurant was really busy but the staff were really attentive and made sure everyone was happy with everything. Good food for good prices, nice clean and tidy building. Highly recommended & will visit again when next in the area.

Food was nice. It was a bit noisy

Food was perfect and service was excellent as always

I just love this place, the food is always first class, fresh and consistently delicious. Having now eaten here on several occasions, I can honestly say I’ve never even had a single bad dish. Love it.

Food fabulous great night before Gaiety

Saffron the waitress absolutely brilliant and the food superb

Always a great experience at Saffy's. Good menu with excellent meals.

Amazing service. The food was delicious. Then unfortunately my father became unwell and the care the staff gave was superb. They called an ambulance and gave space and privacy for the paramedic to deal with the situation. We truly appreciated all the help given. We hopefully will go back for a less eventful meal soon! The Pitts family

Great varied menu and what we had was delicious.

Great food and friendly service.

Lovely little place that's often overlooked. Everyone really enjoyed everything they had and absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Will definitely be back.

One of our favourite local restaurants that we visit as often as we can. Always offering fresh and exciting dishes along with classic Scottish favourites. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a stellar evening meal!

Lovely bistro just a short walk from the train station. Was in town for the day and found this on Google. Ordered the chowder and fish cake. Both amazing - fresh and homemade. Just lovely.

Food was lovely and staff were extremely friendly. I would definitely go back again. The Cajun chicken curry was beautiful and the greedy pig burger was delicious, however it was messy 😆

Saffys is first class for food and service. Would certainly recommend this excellent restaurant 👌

I hadn't been for a while and forgot how good this place is. The food is amazing and very reasonably priced as is the drinks and wine.

Fantastic food, great service. One lovely family run business

10/10 Fantastic food .great service .

Nice wee place to eat, though recommend you book if intending to go. Great food friendly attentive staff and nice atmosphere

Great Christmas meal today, 10 of us and everyone loved their meal

Great food again. Book early.. it gets busy fast

A Lovely little family run place, The food was awesome and there was art from local artists on the wall for sale ( all proceeds to charity)

Awesome! Fresh tasty beautifully presented and cooked just right. Quick service and good value.

A small establishment by one of the corners by Dalblair road. Cosy and warm interior , great atmosphere for small gatherings and meet up with friends. Great hospitality from the staffs too. A great variety of dishes on the menu with a taste of global fusion. It’s certainly a place to try while you’re in Ayr.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 we visited Saffys today for lunch and oh my goodness!! Can’t believe we have been missing out on this place, the staff are so lovely and the food is phenomenal! Everything was so fresh and tasted amazing. Kids had soup for starters which was so tasty followed by cheeseburger & fish n chips, both of which were unreal. We had the katsu chicken burger and the greedy pig and it was hands down the best burgers we have ever had. The chips are beautiful too. The atmosphere is so nice and such a relaxing little place. I would’ve been happy paying the bill twice. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Great menu, affordable and very nice atmosphere.

Excellent quality, delicious non-greasy fish and chips and Haddock gratin. Would definitely recommend a visit.

The girl serving was lovely. I ordered the Texan Pig and Chicken. I wouldn't recommend it as the pulled pork was too sweet for my taste but chips and coleslaw with it were tasty. The highlight was the side of corn on the cob and the sweet delicious coffee. I recommend going but order something else.

The food and service are always brilliant. I love this place. But... A caesers salad should have anchovies chopped to an inch of their life, garlic the same. Here's the bad bit. Saffys don't do this. You get a dollop of hellmans mayo and some anchovies slightly sprinkled on top. What a cop out. Teach the chef to do a simple real mayo and mix the ingredients into the real thing. Caesar would boke at that attempt. I went home that night and done the real thing. Try Austins in Girvan. You'll love it.if you want the recipe and I'm not a chef, call me. It's simple ingredients, but don't use red wine vinigar. Ponsy Gordon ramsay

Enjoyed my meal. Service is leisurely and polite. Didn't feel rushed at all, time to relax

First visit to Saffys last night and certainly won't be our last - what can I say staff very efficient and friendly and food was the best we've had in a long time I had cranberry and brie bussetta followed by duck which was amazing my husband had tampura chicken so light. Followed by Salmon with Parma ham we finished sharing a raspberry snowball sundae all in all we had been recommended this restaurant by a friend and will certainly share this with others well done Saffy and loyal staff

Friendly efficient service. Very tasty food at a reasonable price.

Food good ,wine a bit expensive

Great service and food, will definitely be back

I love this place! The food is delicious! The best Cezar salad and fish! They have fish cooked in various way, burgers, steak, sweets, all delicious!

Good well cooked food as always. Those halloumi fries are amazing.... 3rd time I've ordered them in as many visits.

Great food; quick service nice atmosphere

Just had the most awesome meal here to celebrate our friends birthday. Top class food,service first class .

Fantastic service and quality piping hot food as always.

Excellent food (turkey roast dinner); service & staff delightful. A little noisy between sitting under a speaker and noisy table behind us, but they were just enjoying themselves.

Great food, Atmosphere and Staff You'll find this hard to beat 👍

Excellent service,friendly & very hospitable.Staff first class and prompt in all aspects of customer service..

Lovely place .food was very nice and fantastic staff..cudnt do enough to make you feel welcome. Even although my grandaughter spilled a full drink..no problem it was refilled and cleaned up. Wiĺ be back

Very enjoyable atmosphere. Excellent food choice. Staff very attentive.and pleasant.

Lovely. Great food and piping hot. Attentive and friendly staff. Very highly recommended. A real gem of a find.

Really fresh and delicious food here. Would definitely come back and very happy with their menu.

Saffy's is the best eatery in Ayr! Good food and wine at reasonable prices in a pleasant bistro style restaurant!

Lovely meal here. Lots of choice on the menu

Beautiful restaurant, attentive staff and the food is amazing, fancy different? Try the specials!

Can't fault Saffys. Food has always been delicious and staff are fab

Very delicious and warm. Pleasant staff and cosy.

Lovely restaurant, great service and really good food, we will be going back again

Meal was excellent, we were part of a large group but service was great

Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The food was very tasty and the vino spot on. Very helpful staff. Good selection on the menu

Food is excellent and good prices. Friendly staff, would definitely recommend

We have been going to Saffy's for years and it has consistenly been great. Every time I go, I have something different and it is always delicious. Service is always very nice and friendly. Recently, my son chose the restaurant for his 10th birthday and they could not have been nicer.

The food and staff were lovely. We really enjoyed the cocktails too.We were able to take our puppy who was treated so well and given a bowl of water. Food was vert tasty and well presented, glad we booked ahead.

Cozy atmosphere, great menu choices and specials and consistently high quality food! Been coming here for 10 years and have always had the best experience. Excellent quality and value. Family run so friendly faces with care and pride - nowhere else locally compares!

Brilliant food. Great menu. Really well looked after too.

Popped into Saffys after seeing set lunch menu advertised online but sadly its not available?Chose from a la carte menu anyway and we were not disappointed by tge fushcakes of salmon and haddick in a creamy leek sauce.I had the battered fish,chios and peas with siverskin onions.Was to die for.Server was cheery and polite but she really needs to stop saying ‘perfect’ after every sentence.After 10 times it becomes annoying.Im sure she isn’t even aware she says it Really nice venue and super lunch though.

First time dining here and have to say it was great from entering to leaving ...Food was delicious,staff were friendly and attentive

Food was excellent and service was very good. Only found restaurant through trip advisor comments - definitely worth a visit 😊

From the outside Saffy's looks like quite a small place, but once inside it opens up like the Tardis. Initial service was good and this continued throughout our meal. The menu is imaginative, in a good way: if the dishes that we chose are representative of others that come out of the kitchen, then it's brilliant all round. Our only regret is that we couldn't revisit time after time and go through the whole menu, as there was plenty on there that sounded so tempting. Prices were reasonable too, well worth the money.

Had the most amazing meal here, definitely recommend and great service as well! 10/10

Good food and service. Choice of food is excellent.

When we got there the 2 dishes we spotted on the menu on Facebook weren’t on the menu…no problem, we were able to order both once they checked with the kitchen and we were glad we did. The 3 dishes we ordered were really tasty,, cauliflower buffalo wings, katsu burger & red pepper with squash, pakora & halloumi. We went here for the vegetarian menu which is larger than most restaurants, so much food they kindly packaged to take home :) Service was good and the atmosphere is pleasant, we will be back!

We were a party of four. We were all delighted with our food and will be back before we go home. A brilliant range of dishes to choose from

Lovely menu and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

It is often the unplanned visits that turn out to be the best and our visit to Saffys was one of those evenings. Let down by another restaurant we called in to Saffys and asked if they had a table for 8 which we thought last minute during restrictions would be unlikely but surprisingly they said if we could be there in 10 mins they could fit us in but time would be limited due to prior bookings. We had great service, the menu had a good choice and this was matched by a good choice of beer and wine . It was 2 hours later we realised it was way past the allotted time given at the start but we were told they had managed to organise the tables to allow us to stay and enjoy our evening. Thank you it made our first family get together for 16 months really special. If you go see if you can find where the picture was taken in the place.

Found this lovely place by chance.. delicious food , great service and great staff. When next visiting Ayr, Saffys will definitely be our go to place..thank you all .👍😍

From N.I. & always every year eat here, great staff & food.

First food experience since months of lockdown and was not disappointed. The food and service was amazing.

Lovely staff and cosy atmosphere. Food was delicious and portions are very generous. Highly recommended.

Love this place, has to be one of the best I've eaten in. Its my favourite whether home or abroad. We've just booked a 2 day trip to the area simply to eat there. The jambalaya is particularly delicious, that said I've never had it in new Orleans so what do I know. Anyway 😋

Perfect, perfect service, perfect fillet steak, juicy tender and tasty, great cocktails, best night out in Ayr, in fact Scotland and we have been to Peebles and Edinburgh. Very classy, great ambiance, perfect.
