The best restaurants in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Myself and two friends decided to pop in here for breakfast one morning 2 of us had the big breakfasts and the other had a breakfast roll. The big breakfasts were very large. I personally wasn't keen on the link sausage but that's just personal preference my friend liked there's everything els was exelent. There condaments were in individual sashets and the tomato ketchup wasn't nice all 3 of us agreed on that. The service was exelent. We were handed menus as soon as we sat down. Once we placed our order the drinks arived quickly and our food not long behind it. All in all very good experience just avoid the ketchup

Looking for somewhere for lunch where we could take the dogs, we stopped a couple on the street and they recommended Fresh. Very enjoyable lunch in pleasant surroundings. We opted for cake afterwards and were both totally spoilt for choice. I went for the plum upside down but it was a hard decision. Good coffee too

Whilst I was in Stranraer on Tuesday morning I decided to have breakfast I was heading to the bank and passed the royal cafe and thought I'd have a look within minutes a chap appeared and asked if I was going to order so I opted for breakfast never thought how it was going to to be but 2 soft squidgy sausages 3bits of bacon soggy tattie scone s hash brown beans low quality and some mushrooms no haggis or black pudding I ate it and went to pay omg at least dick Turpin wore a mask £18 pound never in my life have I paid that for a breakfast definitely will never set foot in here again

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

Food was good with plenty of choice. Breakfast rolls and baguette for lunch stopped by a few times. Would definitely go back

Fantastic hotel in Kirkcudbright with friendly and welcoming hosts. Great food in the restaurant and breakfast was generous and well cooked. The owners were very helpful and the place is spotless. Highly recommended small hotel in lovely part of Scotland.

Had chippy tea from this spot a couple of times recently, and can't fault it. Chips are tasty, fish nice and fresh batter good and crispy. Service was quick enough, and very friendly.

Delightful and charming small hotel in a rural setting Superb dinner and breakfast Very dog friendly - dogs and their owners will love it Walks nearby Super hospitality and warmth 10 lovely rooms to choose from Highly recommend for a mini break

We booked a table although as it was Tuesday it wasn’t necessary. My husband immediately ordered the steak and stout pie, I had pork medallions. If you don’t enjoy a plateful- don’t bother. We were hungry and we enjoyed the well cooked well presented meals we got I started with sweet potato and roast pepper soup- hot hot temperature and my husband finished with a cheesecake pudding. We were waited on by a most charming young Moroccan man; cheerful and efficient and a pleasure to chat to. A very pleasant evening out

Stopped in Moffat en route to Glasgow on business. Unfortunately,I had the misfortune to be served by an extremely unfriendly and unhelpful sales assistant. This type of person used to be know as a chav. Whoever owns the business needs to be more careful who they hire. The sandwich wasn't even third rate and ended up in the bin. Take my advice give this bakers a miss.

I am not usually a huge fan of take-aways but this really was very tasty and didn't give off too much of the usual extra-artificial colourings and flavourings. The veg was nicely chopped and cooked, the meats (sweet chilli chicken, duck chow mein) tasted nice and seasoning was just right too.

Delicious food, great service, friendly, polite and happy, good value, huge portions, very clean restaurant. Visited last year and had to come back!

Omg this place is top class!! Previous Michelin Star, they haven't dropped their standard. 2 or 3 course set menu, the menu had a map of Scotland titled The Larder, showing where their ingredients are sourced. I had the best Cheese Soufflé I've ever had, large for a starter and so cheesy tangy. Hubster had the salmon marinated in beetroot, on the small side but delicious. Beautifully rare lamb for main with a filo pastry black pudding, and a lamb samosa, so minty, amazing accompaniments and presentation. Hubster upgraded to a Rib Eye, said it was the best he'd ever had. Chef wasn't keen on serving it blue, but it was perfect. We were full really but couldn't resist the dessert menu. White chocolate rice pudding... omg just the best! And sticky toffee pudding. We'd mistakenly booked a bar table, and couldn't understand why we couldn't move to the restaurant as there were free tables, but the service was excellent, attentive and friendly. It was all amazing, thank you guys 👏

This restaurant is such a lovely setting for an evening meal out. The cocktails are gorgeous, the food is beautifully presented and most importantly really yummy! I cannot fault the staff here either, extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Special thanks to Zainab for a warm welcome and for taking such good care of us during parts of our evening!

First time visiting, even though local and we were not disappointed. The dining room was lovely and were allowed a table of choice even as walk ins. The bar maid/waitress was excellent and friendly, even though it was busy she took the time to make sure we had everything we asked for and made conversation, a credit to the business. Amazing home cooked food for all three courses full of flavour and large portions, excellent value for money. We will 100% be back again, as a culinary employee myself I was impressed. A big thank you to all the staff.
