The best restaurants in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

We live in Newcastle and hadnt tried the Mariner.. superb food with great seafood options that are lacking elsewhere in Newcastle, great staff, great service, strongly recommend

Tonight, having eaten here a few times and always been very happy with the food, I got a takeaway. I can’t remember the last time I got a takeaway but when I found out umi were doing them I didn’t want to miss out. I was so happy with what I got - the food was as good as if I ate in the restaurant. I will definitely do this again! A healthy takeaway - finally! Thanks umi!

Lovely cafe and great welcome. Food delicious and nicely presented. Don’t normally have a pudding but the home made apple pie with lots of custard superb. Just found on passing by on the A7 as saw nothing in Hawick. Will definitely return and tell my friends in Dumfries and Carlisle.

Visited here Monday 23rd of September 2024. 6 of us had a brilliant meal and the staff are to be commended. Best pizza in a while. Hidden gem. Can’t wait to go back

We visited this little cafe twice. The first time we got some delicious takeaway coffee and the second time we dropped in for some ice cream just as they were closing. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, even if the doors were about to close! We sat outside in the little secluded garden to the rear of the bookshop which is also worth a visit.

No dogs allowed so we had a take out: coffee, tomato and cheese paninis, coleslaw and chips. Good value, friendly staff and great chips!

Called in for a snack and a cup of tea and to be honest nothing startling. The staff were fine but quite expensive and the food wasn’t great.

It's just a takeaway, but simply the best,food is delicious 😋

If I could give more stars I would! We visited here on 2 occasions for food, as a family while holidaying along the road. My partner and I also enjoyed a few drinks in the beer garden on sunnier days. So impressed with the lovely, friendly, helpful staff. The food was really good pub grub, tasty and good value. I should have taken pictures, but I was too busy enjoying it!! Also, a special mention to the lovely wee lady behind the bar who got my rum & coke just right every time (1 ice cube 😉). If we lived locally, we'd be back for sure.

This is the restaurant review (there is a separate page for the hotel review). We were delighted to pay a first visit to this rather special place, its secluded and beautiful location befitted the tranquil and refined luncheon we experienced. Impeccable and memorable food. We noted more casual bar food also available. Booking essential.

A light lunch of leek & potato soup followed by toasted cheese and salami roll. Tasty and hit the spot after large breakfast. Nice atmosphere, good menu and staff attentive. I feel a coffee coming on tomorrow!

Visited for lunch. Overpriced food and poor quality . Service was awful and not the fault of the young waiter who unfortunately had just started . Price for lasagne on the specials was extortionate ! Wouldn’t have minded but it was tasteless and I think chef forgot to add the sauce . Curry was tasty but sauce very watery . If the waiting staff had done a check back then would have told them at the time but no check back . We did say to the senior waitress about lasagne when collecting plates and the response was yeah ! . Waitress brought a glass of wine to table but left dirty glasses sitting ? When paying bill and asked if all ok when I said no I was told I should have told them at check back when I said we had no check back young lad who had just started was told off but actually was older lady who served us! Was given a bottle of wine as an apology . Much preferred to have had the uneaten food removed from bill but better than nothing .

Stayed at Dalbeattie for a couple of days and decided to treat ourselves to a Chinese Takeaway from Sea Horse. The service was very prompt and the food was absolutely excellent and portions huge. (And so well priced as well!) I genuinely do not understand some of the poor reviews. This was the BEST chinese takeaway food we have had in a long time. 😋😋😋😋😋😋

This little cafe serves amazing freshly made Vegan and Vegetarian food. We had delicious Thai dishes mine was tofu and vegetables in tamarind sauce with noodles- one of the best tasting dishes ever! They have a standard menu plus lots of specials. Also cakes and desserts Very reasonable prices with good service.

Went for a family members 80th birthday ( group of 22) staff were very attentive, great selection of food everyone enjoyed their meal.
