The best restaurants in Castle Douglas and Glenkens Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Went today for the Sunday Carvery, first class!! Food all home cooked and the staff were lovely. As it was so good, had to have puddings and all light and tasty. Will definitely be back.

Passing through towards the end of a long journey, we were delighted to find this open on a Monday morning. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was the most delicious I’ve ever tasted - especially that wonderful bacon! Definitely worth a detour! Thanks so much!

Great, friendly service, with plenty of choice and sensible prices in the current economic climate. One of the best rib eye steaks we have had in a very long time. Forgot to check, but suspect it was from close by.

Brilliant staff , beautiful display , fresh cuts of lamb , pork and beef. Spoilt for choice. We ended up buying their pork sausages which were very tasty , leg of lamb which was delicious and 2 good slices of trying steak . The frying steak was very tender. The butcher didn't hurry us as we were making our choices.

Had a lovely meal for 8 for a special birthday. Table was beautifully presented, staff were ever so accommodating and very friendly. Great value for money, and lovely setting.

What a lovely hotel and the staff are amazingly helpful. The room is amazing clean and very spacious, I have stayed on the island many times over the years but this place is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Stay here a million times better than the Sefton, it's a great location absolutely fantastic.

We popped in here for some breakfast before heading home. The staff were lovely and the menu had a good variety to choose from. The food was very tasty and portions were very generous at very reasonably prices compared to other places around, we definitely will pop in again when we're back in the area!

Great wee place, we had lunch here. Lots of home baking to choose from, toasties, soup, baked potatoes etc.

Fabulous factory bakery - never tasted better biscuits. I wish we could buy their produce more easily in the Midlands!

It's a great shame that this place will be closing shortly because the food and the staff are so lovely! Super according to a coeliac and went above + beyond in everything. Best of luck to Mr Pooks and all those involved in this little gem.

After a very soggy walk we chanced our luck at Carlos and we got the last table. We couldn't have been more grateful to the staff for fitting us in as there aren't many places to eat in Castle Douglas if you haven't booked before hand. The staff were all so friendly, warm and welcoming. The food was brilliant, full of flavour, great portion sizes and the focaccia was amazing. Would highly recommend!

This was my favorite place to eat at in all of BoothBay Harbor, ME. The French onion soup and Alfredo are both to die for! Would highly recommend the Thistle Inn to anyone visiting BoothBay and looking for a nice dinner out.

Great menu with a lot of choice. Some of our family are vegans and had a lot to choose from. Staff were friendly. Food was tasty. Would recommend.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Genuine greek food, healthy good sized portions, great atmosphere, dog friendly, lovely staff and nice clientele.

Rude assistants pounced on us as we paused at the threshold. “You can’t bring dogs in here!” they said. “Not in the cafè?” we asked. “No” was their response. Their signs had indicated that dogs were allowed in the garden. Anyway, we left, somewhat disappointed.
