The best restaurants in Abbey Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Excellent filled rolls, can highly recommend the roasted chicken with home made coleslaw on brown along with the cheese savoury with salad on brown. Other fillings looked fresh and appealing. Staff were good and prices very reasonable. Will be back!

Terrific curry and samosas never fails to impress always a great curry,would recommend to anyone. Always phone about 4 to give time to prepare.

The food was beautiful and the owner was very friendly definitely recommend and come back.

Great cafe in a rural spot. As we were a group of 16 hungry cyclists and hadnt received a warm welcome at one cafe, we rang ahead to be told, yes, they could accommodate us. When we arrived 25 minutes later, the owner had made a victoria sponge! The scones were the best we've had so far.

google says you’re open but alas you’re not. Wanted delicious fruit cake and millionaire’s shortbread! Nothing else to say but have apparently not enough!

My husband and I had an evening meal at The Smithy with a couple of friends on Saturday evening. The meal was excellent, as was the welcome and the service. The menu was imaginative and the atmosphere was very good. We would certainly eat there again if in the area and would thoroughly recommend it.

A small but perfectly formed cafe serving first class gluten free options for lunch. Delicious toasties and the home made (gf) lemon meringue pie is outstanding. Highly recommended.

Just happened upon this little gem. Tucked away behind a house, is a conservatory that houses the Cafe. the carrot cake was scrummy! Best I've ever had! Outside seating and very dog friendly. But mind the chickens.

What a fantastic place! A lovely hotel in a stunning building, great food (breakfast included + we had dinner one night), lovely staff. We brought our dog and she was made very welcome too.

I don't think this place exists anymore! Wasn't anywhere to be seen and locals didn't know about it.

authentic Italian restaurant with lots of charm & traditional vibes. The early bird 2 course menu is excellent value for money at £13.50 pp with all the classic dishes on. We opted for the regular menu, i had the calamari fritters & sea bass with mushroom ravioli ( was lobster on menu but they had run out). The fish was cooked to perfection & the ravioli was amazing in the red pepper sauce. My partner had panzenolle ( probably spelt that wrong but it was pieces of pizza dough with a garlic mayo dip ) & steak diane. He said the steak was one of the best he had, very tender. The restaurant was full, which apparently it is mostly, good atmosphere & lots of attentive staff. very good👍

I love this place a very special restaurant with super friendly staff who give you a great welcome, we are locals who lunch regularly and the warm inviting atmosphere tops anywhere locally. Great presentation of home produced products , tasty and delightful also the farm shop with amazing products a true gem of a place in Dumfries and Galloway

My wife and i enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea at the Abbey Cottage today. The afternoon tea consisted of freshly made sandwiches of your choice , fruit or plain scone with clotted cream and jam and a choice of different sponge cakes along with a pot of tea. It may be advisable to book the afternoon tea in advance as we did. The Abbey Cottage has all the best attributes of a traditional tea room The staff were welcoming , conversational and friendly. The premises were very clean. The food itself was a treat. There is a convenient car park behind the cottage which also serves as the car park for the ruin of Sweetheart Abbey which is next to the cottage. In addition to the tearoom the cottage also has a shop selling locally produced goods. The Abbey cottage is very much worth visiting if you are in the area.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch this afternoon at The Ark in Kipford. Cake and coffee also superb. Owner and staff very warm and friendly. Will be coming back next time we are over here. Steve and Pamela plus 2 whippets and a Frenchie.

Stayed at Dalbeattie for a couple of days and decided to treat ourselves to a Chinese Takeaway from Sea Horse. The service was very prompt and the food was absolutely excellent and portions huge. (And so well priced as well!) I genuinely do not understand some of the poor reviews. This was the BEST chinese takeaway food we have had in a long time. 😋😋😋😋😋😋
