The best restaurants in South West Scotland

We stayed in Irvine for a night before catching the ferry to Arran and ate here. Lovely ambiance and the food and service were excellent. Set menu very good value. Highly recommended .

Bike group coffee/lunch morning, 11.00, only two staff on, asked what we wanted to drink, wouldn't take food orders until everyone had there drinks, finally took food orders just after 12.00, 25 min wait for the food but it was nice.

Just finished a takeaway from here, top tier curry would recommend

Broke our journey to grab a hot takeaway drink. Great coffee (latte), at a very reasonable price, served by a young lady who was very pleasant. Next time we are driving through Carnwath, we will be trying the cafe attached to the shop, to sample some of the delicious looking cakes and savouries which were on display.

Absolutely gorgeous food with deserts to die for. All staff made us feel so welcome. To miss a meal here is a mistake you will always regret.

The food was excellent, as was the staff advice regarding a starter. The meal itself was really tasty and once again staff advice that one portion of pilau rice would be enough for two meals was spot on. Excellent service, first class. Large bottles of still water available on request. The background jazz music was definitely for the connoisseur, but in no way diminished a terrific dining experience.

We ordered our meal at 6.45pm and didn't get the starters until 8.00pm. Serving staff came to the table twice to get the drinks order, only 4 of us, and still got it wrong. My meal was a simple Haddock and chips and the fish was overcooked and the chips hard. Not somewhere I'll be going back to.

foods amazing I order like 3 times a week its that good

Food is delicious, service excellent, lively wee atmosphere and ability to donate a meal, perfect xxx

Eight of us had a beautiful meal here last night, thoroughly enjoyed it, and the service was brilliant!

The staff were friendly.we thought the rooms were a bit dated.we got quoted £143 for bed & breakfast & got charged £145.there wasn't a bar area to sit & chill & no t.v.we got offered a dining area to sit with our drinks with a nice view but wasn't that comfortable.the breakfast was first class.it was OK for the night but I don't think it's worth £143/145.on my opinion

Excellent in every way Customer service Food Price Decor Cleanliness I would recommend Brew 74 to everyone A great place to eat and drink I'll definitely be back I had the burger and my sister had the Balmoral Chicken and both were cooked to perfection. Compliments to the chef.

Great food, had a fantastic 2 course lunch here for the wife's b/day Can't recommend enough

Superb food, great service! Will 100% return!!!

The food is delicious, staff are friendly. Price is outstanding. It's our new go-to rather than the big chain we used to buy from. I think this cafe is better quality too, I'd give 10 stars if I could!
