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.

Lovely tea and cake. Bought some brandied fruit cake home, which was absolutely gorgeous. Spent a good half hour watching the birds feed, lovely relaxing spot, and the cakes were scrumptious.

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 have been here on numerous occasions when visiting this part of Scotland, I have written a review about Loch Arthur before, but do you know what, when a place is good then why not praise it again. As usual the cafe and shop are well organised with plenty of freshly made foods as well as freshly home grown vegetables and fruit, not forgetting the locally handcrafted goods. The whole place is immaculately clean. The cafe serves amazing home cooked food, do try their soups, they are just scrumptious. The staff whether in the cafe or shop are courteous, smiling, friendly and willing to help. Too good to be true, NO, this place is amazing, if I were able, I would move near there to be able to go more often.

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

What a lovely hotel just back from a long weekend there.with hubby and wee dog 🐕 staff so friendly and helpful.food top notch.lovely quiet rooms.just a peaceful place.beside the river

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👍

Lovely tea room. Clean, great service and really fresh tasty lunch. I had the brie and chutney panini and it was delicious. We will definitely return.

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.
