The best restaurants in Lowlands

What a view from this lovely cafe, well worth a visit even just for that! Grabbed a coffee, pot of tea and sampled their cakes, which were pretty delicious. Chocolate cake and a slice of banoffee pie

The room hadn’t been serviced. Booked for dinner but restaurant closed. A complete disaster and still waiting for a refund!

Called in for a quick pint whist up from Manchester ended up staying all afternoon. The elderly gentleman David behind the bar was an absolute star. The blonde lady ( whose name I didn’t get) was a great host being friendly and welcoming. One of the locals was very friendly and I enjoyed a couple of good chats whist ordering from the bar . The restaurant side looked great but we didn’t have Tim to eat. There’s a small seating area outside some of it partially covered. If you want a pint at a friendly pub you won’t go wrong her 😁

We stopped here on the way to Kippford. We knew we had stumbled on a gem when we saw how busy it was. The food was tasty, service was pleasant and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. There was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. They served me the best Espresso Martini I've ever had

Called in,for coffee,on route to Manderston House,had lovely coffee and scone,will call back again for lunch Staff very friendly

Was there to watch the best drag act in Scotland.

Was greeted at the counter with a very rude staff member, whom very cheeky “no more hot food “ , there is ways to speak to the customer and that was not it . It was our first visit there and it will be the last

From the minute we stepped through the door, service was great from the young team, food was excellent , I had a meat like Platter with olives ,cheese and salad, homemade Garlic bread followed by Spahetti Bolognaise, Huge Portion and Garlic Bread that I had never seen or tasted before washed down with water and a lovely bottle of Zinfadel Rose wine , Absolutely delicious, Compliments to the Chefs and the Kp. Will definitely be back .Two very food Coma'd people and definately worth every penny for the atmosphere. Definitely phone up and book first. They also have just opened up Takeaway as so busy. Very Clean Restaurant also.

Amazing scones serves with butter, jam and clotted cream. Beautiful food, lovely view of the Abbey and great service.

food is so nice and the service is top tier. little man behind the till needs a pay rise

Absolutely top class service, all staff very welcoming, efficient and friendly.

We eat here regularly and have never had a poor meal and tonight was no exception. It was my father-in-laws birthday and we all had different things and we all enjoyed our food. The food, the service and the atmosphere never disappoint. Would definitely recommend.

Friendly little village bar with a great warm, cheerful and friendly atmosphere ☺️

Fabulous wee book shop and ace cafe with a great menu - simple and all home cooked. We all had soup and then a panini or sandwich .... plus tea of coffe
