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!

Food was superb and the staff were so attentive, we will definitely be back.

As reviewed by so many others, this was a fantastic dining experience. Our food was very good indeed and the service from this family business was excellent. Recommended if you are in Dumfries!

Food very delicious, service excellent, atmosphere great. All in all a great Italian meal in great surroundings. We will return

Really beautiful hotel. The Torr kindly hosted a funeral tea for our family and were so welcoming. The food was lovely (especially the sausage rolls!), and the service was excellent.

Initially we did have to hunt out someone to serve us , once served food came quickly and hubbys was fine, he had Scampi & big fat chips I had Caesar chicken on flat bread . The chicken was a bit sparce but bacon was lovely and crispy, lettuce was on its way out lump and uninteresting and hardly visible. It also came with 3 big chunks of very strong Parmesan so that made up for lack of chicken. I meant to order without flatbread but hubby enjoyed my flatbread with his chips ( he made a new style of chip butty ) Coffee was nice as always and all in all Not that bad at all hubby enjoyed his however I won't be ordering my choice again anytime soon. It is all Trial & error as we have had quite a few breakfasts & lunches in this Tesco cafe and usually all good . Today just wasn’t my day but hubby happy so that’s a👍

We visited The Steamboat for the 1st time on 3rd May 2025, what a lovely place to visit with stunning views over the solway firth. The service and food was fantastic.

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.

Lovely and warm, friendly staff and decent prices

Good pub, Good service, Can't comment on food never tried it

I order from Phoenix regularly, always friendly service from Lisa, the Peking Chicken is really good as is the Chicken Fried Rice and Garlic Chips. We usually get the same meals so haven't tried alot of the food.

Great welcome. Very friendly and inviting. Was, a busy evening but we were not rushed at all. Lovely meal. Only criticism I have is cold veg. That's the 2nd. Time. All in all my friend and I had a lovely evening. Tgankyou

Tired, dated cheap rooms badly in need of a lick of paint and makeover. Mattress rock solid. Terrible. Get what you pay for I suppose although I've stayed in infinitely better Premier Inns over the years.
