Not sure where to start, but one thing is for sure, there isn’t a single negative in this review. Home Restaurant, it’s exactly what the name suggests - Home. It’s home because when you walk in you will be made to feel at home. Friendly, welcoming and a huge smile greets you. Around 20ish tables, lovely decor and lighting, views of the kitchen and bar and small but very tempting and amazing menu with a choice for everyone. The knowledge of the food is beyond what I have experienced anywhere else. This included where, when and how sourced. Also any ingredient used in cooking and prepping the dishes. This was only my second visit and honestly I left the first time saying the exact same as I am now repeating. Absolutely outstanding in every category and manner. My advice is listen to the owner’s recommendations and let her husband in the kitchen wow you with his skills. I have been to Michelin star restaurants that having nothing on Home, if you get the chance to eat at Home in Dumfries, my advice is seize it with both hands. And if you have a spare seat going let me come too ! Home was reviewed by a very well know food critic and she rated it as a hidden treasure (my words but she absolutely loved it), I believe “refreshingly perfect” were actually Grace Dents words. She wasn’t wrong and a full 5 stars from me. James is the best chef within at least a hundred miles for sure.

This place was just awful!Table was sticky.When we tried to order it appeared there was a problem with a broken fridge/freezer which meant that most menu items were unavailable,would have been nice if they told us that when we arrived.My husband decided on a bacon and sausage roll,they had no rolls (seriously?) so he settled for a bacon and sausage sandwich which he said was nice enough.Sadly by this time i was a bit hacked off so i only had an appletise.I never considered going here before but most places were strangely shut!They said it was a little late in the day to be eating-it was just past 2pm!I wouldn't go back and i can't recommend the place.I had to grab a roll at Greggs which in hindsight would have been a better first option!

This café is the best we have ever visited. Everything is homemade ache absolutely delicious. We had sublime soup and couldn't choose which cake to have so had 6 small pieces to try them all! The owner is incredibly friendly and so welcoming. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough. Absolutely fantastic.

Visited this place when I was in Dumfries catching up with my brother. The venue, an old church, is just stunning and the staff are amazing. The supervision given to the younger staff is exceptional. We had a brunch which was huge! Fantastic food and value for money. I will be back when I'm next in Dumfries

Popped in for tea and scones (had heard they were nom-tastic) and was NOT disappointed. Fantastic scones, superb individual pots of tea and really relaxing and helpful staff. Will definitely be going back, hopefully on a regular basis as we were made to feel right at home. In addition, all the craft items on display are available to purchase and I'm torn between a few of them....so I'll need to go back and choose...over a few more visits 😎

Went with family for a pre Xmas lunch today. All I can say is it was first class. We will definitely be back soon. Each course was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. The students were very polite and efficient. Also value for money was second to none.

Sadly they have now closed down, but if they ever reopen it’s excellent. (Aug 2023).
