The best restaurants in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

recommend this small cafe on the main street of castle douglas they make banging cheese toasties but i will complain about one thing there was a cheeky young lad who works there an he made an inappropriate remark about my weight

Nice little cafe to stop for a decent coffee and lovely coconut and raspberry cake . Staff where very friendly and helpful. Ordered at counter and sat outside with my trusty dog Lexi, as no dogs allowed in side, which is fine. Lady asked on bringing my brew and cake if Lexi wanted a dog bowl, nice touch. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutly amazing food and great service, would deffinatly reccomend and will be visiting again !!!!!!

Absolute gem. Great attention to detail in well curated small plates. Understated establishment where the food is forward. Wine and cocktail list superb. Service a terrific blend of friendly and professional. Not a touristy dining experience. Gourmand’s delight.

Amazing arts and crafts shop plus cafe. Great food at reasonable prices. We got to learn. About the Sanquar knitting pattern as well

We were holidaying locally and came across the Tearoom, there was a live singer on and the atmosphere was brilliant. The sun was shining which also helped. Julie and Dan the new owners are so welcoming. The Tearoom is a fantastic place to visit.

Taken here by a friend, beautiful old building in the heart of Oswestry, lovely vibrant courtyard with a friendly vibe. Food was superb and well priced. Can’t wait to return here

This cafe has a really distinctive menu for its size with a choice of meat- fish- and plant-based dishes. They were extremely attentive to a very unusual dietary issue which involved them adapting several elements of one of their menu items. Both waiter and chef spoke to me before we settled on a dish. This was all handled in really friendly manner.

Have visited here before but didn’t write a review .. so sorry to the owner as the staff then and now we’re friendly , attentive and the meals again were super. Looking forward to visiting again.

Best cooked breakfast Dumfries has to offer, bar none! Great coffee too. Really comfortable and peaceful space with views of the golf course. Well priced and friendly service

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

Lovely lunch menu- they offer Sunday lunch too. Quickly and we’ll serves Nice wee place- we’ll be back

Second time I have been overcharged ! Probably stick to Francis bakers now. Thought first time was a one off ! 2 pies : £ 3.60 2 biscoff traybakes : £ 2.00 Chopped pork : £ 1.09 The only other items i got was 2 plain scones, and 2 potato scones. Total bill was £ 10.48 Almost £ 4 for 2 scones and 2 potato scones. Come on !!!!

Beautiful family run hotel, the food was exquisite, beautifully presented and very tasty, the Robert was extremely tentative seeing we had brought a bottle of wine came along with a wine cooler, the attention to detail was second to none, he also gave us great advice on visiting a beautiful local church which was a must see , and only around 5 miles to visit Gretna Green and a few hundred yards from the English/Scottish Border we just can’t wait for a return visit Thank You for a memorable visit.
