The best restaurants in South West Scotland

Was staying local to area and tried this for lunch and really enjoyed the dishes we had.

Lovely warm welcome from female staff member, will be back for sure

Great little restaurant and food was excellent - unfortunately only bottled beers

Had lunch and cakes here, one of the best places for to go for food during the day on the island. It’s well liked and well known by a lot of visitors. People have been going for 20 years+. Got some history about it and the place has never changed. Highly recommend the specialty meringue cake dish. It’s huge but worth it. Really disappointed about the annoying opening hours. We drove to visit one day on a Saturday and it was closed. Turns out it was SHUT FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY EVERY WEEK DURING THE SUMMER PEAK PERIOD!! And we’ve found it it’ll be closed over winter too. We hear it’s to do with staffing issues which is a current issue but it was really disappointing to be closed on such busy peak days. Doesn’t make sense and we drove all that way

Last time we were on Arran, the café was sadly closed, and so we were very excited to try it this time. Very friendly staff and a lovely selection of cakes and traybakes to choose from. Lovely views from inside the café and from the outside seating. Would recommend if passing and we will return soon.

Excellent ! First time but will not be the last

The coffee was great and came out fast. I had a cappuccino and a Cajun chicken panini, my lady had a latte and a mozzarella, tomato and pesto panini which she enjoyed. Overall experience was great and we sat out in the sun.

3 of us were in today for the 1st time it was absolutely amazing great value for money and portions were also good absolutely lovely service definitely be back soon

Simple Menu Options but very flavorsome, friendly staff, been going here for years and couldn’t fault it.

Top notch food and the service this place provides is brilliant,I ordered something the other night.Get yourselves in to see the guys

Having traveled a lot around Italy this was a real treat to have such beautiful, authentic Italian food in my old home town of Hamilton on a rainy Friday night. We had the 6 course pasta tasting menu which just got better with every course. Presentation and flavours could not be faulted. Extensive well priced wine menu. Would definitely go out of my way to visit again.

Staff were friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back.

Raspberry and lemon curd frangipanes to absolutely die for. Amazing.
