The best restaurants in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Have the roast beef, its so good I don't even look at the menu Other options available and I'm sure they are good too. Enjoy.

We were really looking forward to our meal from Sun Kai as an end of holiday treat....sadly the best thing about the food was the microwave safe containers it came in! Rice was salty and hard, prawns were tough and in awful batter and the chow mein had overcooked noodles and undercooked everything else and was really tasteless. I can't believe it's gone so bad in only a year. We won't be back and if I could give minus stars, I would.

Yet another pleasant visit to Stranraer, topped off with a meal at Sun Kai. Couldn't have been better, tastie food and friendly hospitable staff.

I would love to review my dining experience but we didn’t get that far. I phoned and booked about 10 days before our visit to Portpatrick and booked a meal Sat at 7.15. When we arrived if was in darkness, all closed up. Back at our hotel where luckily they fit us in at their restaurant the waitress said ‘oh didn’t they tell you they were closing?’ Obviously they decided to, presumably, shut for the winter and that was locally common knowledge. No common courtesy of a phone call to let us know. Really cheesed off. I tried to contact them for an explanation but no-one responding to calls.

We all prebooked and ordered our meals beforehand and we were all treated like kings, the food was fabulous, service second to none and in all an amazing evening, we all highly recomend this great place

Decided to break the journey from SE England to the Highlands with a stop at Lockerbie. The King's Arms is a wonderfully welcoming hotel, with great staff. It was a bit of a treat to stay somewhere that wasn't a big corporate chain, and that had a personal feel. The room was well appointed and cosy,and the food was incredible. Really lovely staff made the experience one I would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Called in for a light lunch on a day out to Castle Douglas, had our dogs with us so looked for a dog friendly place. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and immediately offered our dogs a bowl of water as it was a warm day. The food was good cafe food, no frills but quick, tasty and well cooked. The place is very pleasant inside, well decorated (loved the mad hatter drawings and the dog bags) and surprisingly spacious and comfortable. If we are ever in that part of the world again we will definitely return.

Sorry this review is late but can I say we stopped off to watch the play off final( national league England) and we were made to feel so welcome by the lad behind the bar whose name I'm embarrassed to say I cant remember. I must say the locals on the day were fabulous and were fellow Poolies by the end! As far as the place itself it's a proper pub,clean ,good beer good craic and very very freindly atmosphere if ever we go back over that way it will definitely be a place to visit

We always used to love visiting the Mount Stewart with our dog for food & drinks. When we booked recently for an evening meal we were told we could only eat outside due to the bar having been refurbished. As it was a cool evening it would not have been possible to enjoy hot food there, so sadly we had to cancel and go elsewhere in the village. Having looked into the bar it seems almost all the seating is now at high tables, which is not suitable for many people to access - sadly the previous welcoming comfortable and cosy ambience of the bar seems to have been lost in this update.

Nice surroundings. Good staff , friendly and welcoming. Good food at reasonable prices . Busy but didn’t have to wait long.

Food is excellent, highly recommend

Firstly I would like to say this review is no reflection on the waiting staff who are lovely Vague us set in a beautiful location and should have everything you want However the utter bad manners and rudeness of the man I presume is the owner or manager will stop us returning sadly. The bad temper was not directed a us but sadly his staff in front of us Our waitress had made a simple error and given us the wrong bill She was clearly wary of telling as he was already being extremely unpleasant to another member of staff This is not the first time we have seen this so can only vote on our feet.

Visited on Friday evening with friends . The food was amazing . I had tandoori duck it was absolutely delicious. Everyone really enjoyed their meal . The service was 1 st class . Reasonably priced . Will return soon .

We were staying at Aird Donald campsite and ordered the food by phone and asked for delivery. The food was delivered well within the stated time. It was piping hot, tasty and a generous portion size. First class.

I cannot recommend this place enough, it is spotlessly clean. Served by excellent staff and the food is delicious, presented well and reasonably priced. The general ambiance was relaxed and although I’m not keen on tv screens, they weren’t over bearing. I would definitely revisit as they allowed our pooches in. If their bedrooms are as clean and as good as their food is - it would be a great place to stay!
