The best restaurants in Lochar Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

The food was so lovely and great value for money.. and the people are very friendly. Will definitely be visiting again and absolutely recommend!

This was our second visit. Our first visit was a better experience even though I had to send back my starter because my toast was burnt. This visit was very disappointing. The starters were fine, thus 2 stars, but the mains were dreadful. I had the Thai green chicken curry and my wife the prawns, gnocchi and chorizo. My dish was bland with poor quality chicken breast (which is the worst part of the chicken), but my wife's dish was truly inedible. The chorizo was burnt, the squash undercooked and the gnocchi tasteless lumps of concrete. We absolutely would have sent them back but were on a tight schedule and had very limited time. I must question the consistency of the restaurants quality. I am not sure if we will come back to give them another try or not...

Best restaurant in Dumfries food is fantastic and the service is even better! Lovely family run business.

Beautifully renovated and fabulous pop-up restaurant meal. Looking forward to the next one!

The Steamboat Inn is in a small hamlet however what a find. Place was spotless and all the staff were really friendly. Food was excellent the best fish and chips we have ever eaten compliments to the chef. We would also recommend the Lemon Posset. We had the dog and the Inn is very welcoming to dogs. Price is very reasonable in today's prices. We would thoroughly recommend the Steamboat Inn and hope to be back again!!

A really good authentic family Italian restaurant - we absolutely loved it! This restaurant had wonderful food, we had the clam spaghetti and calamari which was excellent and then all had a pizza, amazing! We also enjoyed a delicious bottle of chianti. Good atmosphere with local people and tourists to the area and the staff were very professional and friendly, excellent service! If we were ever back in Dumfries we’d definitely go back.

had a lovely couple of meals here food was excellent good price and plentiful the service was great and staff very friendly

Wonderful and welcoming wee cafe within Gracefield Arts,lots of space between tables. Managed to grab a pot of tea, and homemade mint rocky road before it closed. Lots of delicious looking cakes on offer, very good value and affordable prices. Was able to dry off after a downpour, and not rushed. Then was able to visit the exhibition and look around the shop, which was full of lovely local crafts, good quality art cards and gifts

Short weekend break at this lovely hotel, the food was great in the bar which is the same menu as in the restaurant, good breakfasts too, lovely hosts that looked after us very well thanks for everything.

The longest drive I have ever done and worth it. Great hotel.

Lovely staff. Very quick and friendly service. They even had a gluten free menu and included free prawn crackers !

Fantastic customer service from AJ’s. I message n ask if they have soup suitable for my mum who is almost 90 and Emma has it ready for me before I go to work and before they have even opened in the morning. Also amazing scones n traybakes❤️
