The best restaurants in South West Scotland

We had a lovely afternoon in the Westend today. The food was absolutely amazing, loads to choose from the menu including gluten free which was perfect for one of our party. Service was outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant. If you are in the area pop in and try it out for for yourself.

Room was dusty with cobwebs on the ceiling could be doing with a deep clean. We arrived to be told they had no space for us at dinner & would book a taxi for us to eat out, bit disappointed when you are a paying guest @ £155 for the night. Car park is so small with only a couple of spaces they ask if you are going to go out when you arrive.

Wow. Actually speechless. The food is great quality. The portions are HUGE. The staff friendly. Food is cheap. Warning to people. Please read the description of the food as these portions are not for the faint of heart. My partner actually broke a sweat! The "peckish" breakfast is not for those feeling a bit peckish. You need and empty stomach. Incredible and we WILL be back again!

This is my 'local' so I've eaten here many times, and the food has always been great and the service very good.

Went for lunch at The View mid afternoon on a friday. Very quiet but it was 3pm. We were feeling a bit scruffy after a long walk on the beach but were made welcome. Food was very fresh, simple but of high quality and delicious. Prices very reasonable. Recommend.

Just such great food. Really excellent starters followed by delicious roast beef. Bar and wine selection very good and just the most friendly service. Must come back for that steak pie.

Absolutely brilliant place. Loads of fun. Excellent staff and delicious food. My favourite place to go in Ayr 😍

Great inn with a very friendly host and nice guests.

Very well looked after polite with it 😊☺️😊

Great wee bar with a good selection of beers. Friendly staff too.

This place is good food but no parking on site but nearby but the prices have taken a big increase since the last time I was here £5.95 for a sandwich and quite small so 2 sandwiches tea coffee and 2 scones £21 43

Normally great food and great delivery times - unfortunately today not so much. But they offered solutions and were very good about it. Would still recommend!

Excellent italian Food. Beautifully cooked. The chefs cooking is the best in the area. Very nice relaxing atmosphere in this place brilliant restraunt.

Brilliant time and meal was Beautiful...

Arrived at cafe approx 1.00 pm, party of four. We adhered to the ‘please wait sign before being seated ‘ for couple of minutes and no one came so as there were empty seats we proceeded to sit down. Shortly thereafter a young girl , waitress, appeared and began chastising us while literally throwing the menus in front of us. She launched into a tirade about ‘in the future wait before taking a seat the signs are there for a reason’! We accept that you clearly expect protocol to be followed to the letter busy or not. However I think it’s fair to expect to be spoken to in a professional, respectful manner and not an angry attitudinal one as we experienced from this young girl today. We have been long time weekly regulars but after this incident , sad to say will not be returning!
