The best restaurants in Lowlands

Popped in again a couple of times last week for some additions to my lunch. Staff great and cheery as always, pleased to see you, nothing is too much trouble. There was a queue but they get through it really quick with efficient service, but still chatting with customers and being personal, asking how their day was, what they were doing and actually interested in the answers. On shift those few days were Gordon, Devlin, Sadie, and Tracie. They're always so friendly and polite and ask how my little boy is. Definitely a credit to your team. I tried the Cornish pudding, which I'd never had before. Wish I'd tried it sooner. Was NOT disappointed, was absolutely lush! Might be a regular when I'm needing a sweet fix in the coming weeks.

Visited here Monday 23rd of September 2024. 6 of us had a brilliant meal and the staff are to be commended. Best pizza in a while. Hidden gem. Can’t wait to go back

Had a fantastic lunch up a Whitshiels today. Was nice to go up and sit outside and just watch the world go by.. staff as always are lovely and really look after their customers.. chilli beef was fab as always.. massive portions one thing for sure you never leave hungry. ♥️ xx

We had earmarked this place for breakfast one morning and rushed to get down before they stopped serving brekkie at 11:30. We arrived just after but they managed to accommodate us. As I ordered a full Scottish for my husband, I was absolutely delighted to see a gluten-free breakfast listed on the menu. Even the sausage was GF! Other coeliacs might understand that a GF snag is often a bonus when looking for a full fried breakfast. The breakfast arrived with orange juice and a pot of tea as well. Mine was absolutely brilliant. The added addition of haggis (which was not listed on the menu) was a treat since it’s rare to find gluten-free haggis anywhere. Tea was piping hot, the service was impeccable and overall we really enjoyed our visit. Lots of locals with the dogs popping in while we were there and it was nice to see lots frequenting the café. We thought it might be difficult to find somewhere open on a Monday, and indeed some other places were shut, but we were delighted to find Caroline’s was open. Very clean toilets as well.

Naqvi solid dude servers well. Chicken tortilla wrap is the move, look it up.

We just dropped by not knowing what to expect. It was a gorgeous day so we sat outside. Very polite young lady took our order pancakes with banana maple syrup and ice cream. Oh my goodness it was fab. If I didn't live so far away i would definitely be a regular.

Stopped in for some lunch today. Friendly service with a good and varied choice of menu. Offers half portions of meals if more suitable. Brilliant value. Hot and cold options available. Felt like the teapot was bottomless, think it was 3 cupfuls in total!

We had a fabulous take away meal from here the other week whilst house sitting for friends in Dumfries. The meal was delivered hot and in the time they suggested it would be. Their chilli beef was hot and savoury, and there was so much food we had enough leftover for a 2nd meal.

Came here for dinner and the food was excellent as always and the owners are very friendly and welcoming would definitely recommend to visitors when they stay in Jedburgh

We stayed here for three nights we had breakfast and evening meal, cannot not fault the menu plenty to choose from, staff very friendly and helpful, David was a brilliant host. We would highly recommend a stay at this hotel.

As always amazing ! AMAZING Staff kind and courteous. Food truly divine , setting magnificent. It doesn’t get better . I would not eat anywhere else in Portpatrick . In fact I love eating here and a restaurant in Kircudbright . The others nearby are poor and tent to take advantage of through traffic so they don’t really want regulars .

Excellent Tai curry with my first tofu made with care , my wife had home made tomato soup with a freshly ( egg was still warm ) made egg sandwich. We will be back

Stayed at Mabie House recently and enjoyed dinner and breakfast there. Excellent food, well cooked, well presented and reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again

Great food and friendly staff. They went out of their way to help you. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Very enjoyable meal. Had chicken strips and veg with side order of chips. Very tastey. Waitress very helpful and friendly. Restaurant very clean and tidy.
