The best restaurants in Wigtown West Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Nice place to go for drinks and a bite to eat. We visited a few times while staying in Stranraer. The service was good and the staff friendly.

Found this gem of a place after a walk around Stranraer and managed to find a table on a busy Saturday morning. We had the scrambled eggs on toast and one of the delicious apple pastries with soooo tasty coffee. We had to wait a while as the place was packed but the staff were dealing with the queue very efficiently. Very friendly atmosphere too!! Loved everything about this place

The food was lovely, one of the best curry's I've had, hospitality was not great and some staff were very rude. Do not serve alcohol so you have to take your own alcoholic drinks, not the end if the world but a very nice curry.

Have had a caravan in portpatrick for a number of years and visited the Galloway often. Have recently eaten there a couple of times in last few months. The food and the standard of service have been great, big enough menu, plenty of choice. Food has been really good and portions sizes relatively large for a reasonable price. Might be advisable to book as can be quite busy in caravan season.

Great find had the avocado and eggs (poached to perfection) on sourdough toast and husband had the minted pea soup and a sandwich all lovely. We sat outside and service was quick and polite. Coffee was good as well. I thought the price was reasonable too

We holidayed in Drummore, due to covid,the Queens Hotel was the only available bar in the village. This was not a problem,the estrella gallicia was perfect,the staff were above and beyond helpful. The bar man knew his whiskies and was quite enthusiastic to point us in the right direction . All in in all, we spent a good few nights in this traditional bar.

This chippy has been going for years and the only one we ever used when growing up. Tried 2 others due to a friend’s local preference in the past and both were first and last try. It remains the only one we use on each and every trip back home and visit a few times each visit. No idea if it’s changed hands over the years but food tastes as good as it always did. The onion rings are always amazing, homemade. The battered pizza is a favourite and never greasy. One of us always has fish…..never been undercooked and always thick and tasty and we’ve never had a frozen chip in the 40+ years of getting chips from there!! So no idea where previous comments are coming from. First day of arrival on each trip home it’s always an Ivy Leaf chippy tea……. The only negative comment I’d agree with is there has, on a very few occasions been some staff who could be a bit more friendly but this is the exception and few and far between.

Fantastic fresh food and excellent service. The place was very busy but we were served quickly and watched the chefs working, it was a very good experience . Very warm welcome amd all round pleasant experience

Pretty average. The chicken burger was like some sort of chicken pate and not a fillet. The toilet had an empty soap dispenser and and in this day and age they cannot accept digital payment. CASH ONLY is never a good sign. To add a certain je ne sais quoi the can of Coke I was given had a ‘part of a multipack not for retail’ note on it. When challenged they decided not to charge me for it 😬

Customer service was awful. Waited half an hour just to be told they could no longer serve us. They informed us in an unmannerly way. Wouldn’t return nor recommend. Way to slow working speed and would expect better

Stayed one night as we were on an early ferry. When initially booked it was because the photos looked nice and welcoming. This was not our experience. There was no one there to book in with. Told the key would be in the safe, after opening and searching it wasn’t. After finally getting in it was not like the pictures. It was outdated, and not particularly clean. It looked like a dog had previously been in which is fine, but it was not cleaned properly afterwards. The floor was covered in white hair and not enjoyable. Appreciated the milk in the fridge, however the cupboard the toaster was in was full of old crumbs and was not clean. The towels provided had a strange smell which was not particularly pleasant. Shower was ok. Temperature was hit n miss with no particular instructions. Not to mention the look of the swimming pool which looked like it could house some serious fungal infections… Not a pleasant stay. Will happily drive through the night next time we have a morning ferry

We had breakfast on two occasions Sat 17th Feb and Sun 18th Feb 2024. My breakfast on the 17th was an 'English Breakfast' (didn't want square sausage) with a poached-egg. The breakfast was generally OK however, the poached was rubbery and the yolk over cooked. The tomato was almost uncooked but the hash-browns were nicely cooked. My wife had poached-eggs on toast which had been tortured in a similar manner to mine. On our second visit on the 18th we gave up waiting to use the single self-select terminal and ordered at the till. Unfortunately, we didn't realise that lorne-sausage is the terrible square-sausage. The tomato was virtually fresh from the vine, the beautiful field-mushroom was partially cooked the fried egg over-cooked and crispy at the edges. The tattie scones were tasty but overall it grieved me to see poor cooking and low standards prevailing. The staff were very friendly but the cook in the kitchen needs to be properly trained or moved to the checkout.

From my first conversation with Mohammed I was impressed. My order was ready and hot for pickup. I can honestly say the food was fantastic! Very tasty and the chicken fresh and tender. I was so pleased and called to offer my praise. We will 100% return for more delicious takeaways. Thanks Mohammad.
