The best restaurants in Lowlands

Have passed this place quite often when visiting Dumfries. I had never popped in as the shopfront is a little uninspiring. However, I was wrong as I finally went in today and the food and service was first class. Prices were good too. No more passing by when next in the town. Straight to Molly Mae's Tea Room.

Visited with friends who were staying for the weekend. Friendly, informative staff. Tried a few of the gins (the non-alcoholic one for the driver). The tapas with the drink is fantastic, just enough to nibble on… Visited the little shop and purchased some ‘home grown’ gin to takeaway. Keep up the good work.

Wow found this went looking for somewhere to food was amazing Staff good too I had prawns so tasty and husband had chicken he was so full

What a little gem! Was on holiday in the area and found this lovely place on google. Great friendly service, food cooked fresh and delicious. Clean and inviting. Highly recommend. Only wish we'd found it earlier.

No kids menu but they split the adult pizza for our boys to share. Pizzas and garlic bread were absolutely amazing, just perfect. Pasta great too. Tirimasu a little dry but other desserts lovely. Very friendly staff. Would go back.

Great place to stay, very welcoming and friendly, would have no issue returning

Lovely little bar in the centre of Lockerbie, very welcoming and safe during these strange covid times

Partner and I were staying at Sunnyside Lodges, Sanquhar (06.01.2025) and ordered x2 meals for "home delivery" from here. No complaints - food arrived quickly and was fresh an hot. Totally enjoyed the meals we chose.

Stopped in here initially for just a quick drink (visiting Peebles from Edinburgh) then saw the menu and decided to stay for food! What a gorgeous place. The cod and chorizo stew was delicious, fresh fish and quality ingredients evident. My partner loved the burger and loaded fries too. We ended up taking away some of the deli goods, and returned for breakfast before heading home the following day. Lovely friendly staff, comfortable seating area with the ambience of a stove and views across the river (depending where seated!) Would highly recommend and will visit again when in Peebles 😊

Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. The lady who serviced us was just lovely. We got married the day before and were so disappointed that this restaurant was closed but managed to get in on our 1 day anniversary. I had the grilled lemon chicken with risotto with a mixed salad (out of this world) and my husband had a fungi pizza (also out of this world). And very reasonably priced too. All in all a lovely meal in a lovely restaurant with lovely staff.

What a perfect place to celebrate my 60th birthday. We loved every minute. The food was perfect in every way. Great staff , cracking atmosphere. Thank you

The past few times I've been to Dumfries, I always stop in to Mrs Greens Tea Lounge for some cake and a mug of something hot--or, in this case, for some lunch. The service is always friendly, the atmosphere inviting, and the food tasty. Highly recommend!

My partner and I chose The Green Tree Hotel restaurant for dinner on Friday Feb 14th 2025, as they had a special Valentines Day Menu. We were disappointed in its choice so opted for their regular menu. I ordered a burger with bacon and cheese. The burger was DEFINITELY shop-bought and the bacon, hard. My partner's chicken curry had raisins in it, a throwback to the '70's I think. Furthermore, the lighting was WAY too bright for a romantic Valentines Day setting. WHAT a disappointment!

A great Italian restaurant in the centre of town.

excellent food and quick delivery
