The best restaurants in Lowlands

Lovely hotel with great food. Super warm welcome and staff. We'll be returning.

I can only talk about the quality of the food and the taste experience of the food. Such a disappointment. Bland, non discript curries that were really poor and underwhelming, and expensive for the end product. I want to support local businesses but I cannot recommend this place for takeaway curries. IMO there's no excuse for under flavoured, under seasoned and under spiced curries.

Very welcoming and friendly staff, great service and amazing food. We ate in the restaurant, which was nicely decorated. There was steady flow of take away customers, many of which seemed to be local, regular customers.

My friends and I were starving post 9:30pm and found this place open. We tried their kebabs and wraps and it was so good. Definitely recommend the shish wrap (the portions are HUGE). Thank you for giving us free fries and the water your kindness was everything for us ladies that day 🤍😭

Amazing welcome. Lovely room. Breakfast excellent.

Bought chicken & chips for my mum, who is 81, but got half a chicken and a huge portion of chips, which was far too much for her. She did enjoy what she had though.

Advertised as open 7 days a week, but on arrival, the sign on the door said closed Tuesday and Wednesday. So, I had to go somewhere else.

Group of 3 couple and. Great Dane warmly welcomed for dinner on Friday night and then back for drinks on Saturday to watch the F1 qualifier which the manager kindly out on one set of screens for us. Great food, brilliant atmosphere with lively banter and a good out door under cover and heated area for drink and music as well as sports on TV. Manager and his staff were excellent, calm despite being busy, welcoming and helpful. The manager deserves recognition for a well run but easy going establishment that we would highly recommend. We will be back on our next trip.

Frustratingly slow service. Tucked away upstairs and had to go and ask for someone to take our order. Food then took an age but was nice. I get that they were busy, but have to be able to service the number of tables you have.

We visited The Steamboat for the 1st time on 3rd May 2025, what a lovely place to visit with stunning views over the solway firth. The service and food was fantastic.

Nothing fancy just excellent pub food. Steak and ale pie was particularly good. Service was attentive. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

Thoroughly enjoyed fish and chips and burger and chips with a beer and a glass on wine. Very friendly and helpful staff. Ate outside overlooking the harbour on the sunniest evening of the year so far, fabulous!

This is where Google's rating system falls down. 4 stars= like, 5 stars = love. I more than liked it, not quite loved it, so 4½ stars for "enjoyed"? Anyway, service was excellent. Everyone very friendly and helpful. It was busy too which is always a good sign. I had the chicken liver paté which was smooth and delicious served with a little too much onion chutney and a combination of oat cakes and soft fresh bread, which was a little unusual but good. Main course was a bold combination of scallops, haggis, creamy smoked haddock and pressed new potatoes. It was delicious but the haggis was very strong and peppery so if you weren't careful the delicate flavour of the beautifully prepared scallops could have been lost. I also suspect they could save a small fortune by using at least half the pea shoots for garnish than they do. That all sounds very critical but I honestly enjoyed it very much. Even the house red was very nice, rich and smooth. Thank you

Lovely quiet b&b, rooms are to the back of the bar/restaurant so off the road which was lovely. Room was spotless and always cleaned before we got back ! Food in the restaurant was lovely service was good. Further from Edinburgh then we had realised but fault of ours. Perfect for a stop off heading to the city

We turned up, with our two dogs, at 7.30 on a Thursday eve. One table was free and the staff very kindly asked the dog owning diners already on the adjacent tables if their dogs would be ok with ours next to them, really nice touch. Thankfully, fellow dog owners were happy to have us sit among them. So, service: really good 👍 Ambience: We were sitting in close proximity to other dog owners so we had a lovely time 😊👍 Food: honestly, starters were great but mains were absolutely to die for! He had the fillet steak, he's a trained chef and a bit of o steak expert... said it was the best steak he's ever eaten 😊 Fish pie for me, oh my, absolutely delicious 😋 I'd definitely recommend eating here 👍
