The best restaurants in South West Scotland

A fantastic place to come for lunch. The food was amazing! I came with my partner and my friend’s family (4 adults, 2 kids). 2 of the party have dietary needs- 1 celiac and 1 who has a lactose intolerance. I have to say, not only was the food fantastic, but the Gluten free options were fantastic, and the staff were amazing. Not only were they friendly, but they all seemed to have fantastic knowledge of the foods they were selling and the allergens that were in them. We were really impressed and actually returned a second time. The second time was just as good as the first. Definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic wee cafe with the most welcoming and friendly owner! Had a lovely breakfast roll with a coffee, my son had some pancakes with butter & jam and a hot chocolate! Two very happy stomachs afterwards, that's for sure! Such a bright, clean and airy space with fantastic views over the bay (just across the street).

Was checking the menu and the door was slammed in our faces and close sign put up at 3pm so we got the message and left so I take they were closing early good way of welcoming visitors to arran

Lovely wee Dog friendly cafe/bistro. Visited in a bright, if chilly,early afternoon we ate in the open air under a canopy on decked area as we had our dog with us. Could be less comfortable if inclement weather We were served promptly on requesting a menu from inside. A few stairs to access the area & bit unattractive back of shop/restaurant. Unsure if we could have walked through the cafe with the dog but would be tricky if you have mobility issues. This said we had delicious lentil soup with sandwich and lovely fresh salad on the side. Wee bit pricey for the scones which we took away but they were humongous.. & lovely ! .. Well worth a visit but could easily be overlooked, serve more substantial meals & alcohol if you fancied something more.. Very pleasant service & visit would go back 😊👌

Great tasty food as per usual - batter was nice & crispy. Only negative was late delivery despite app saying we had received our food.

Arrived on my own left as friends. My favourite bar on the island. Karaoke evening and absolute blast. Presenter a hoot. Don't come here on a Sunday if you're easily offended.

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.

Hotel looks uninviting from outside but inside the decor and soft furnishings are excellent. The three course meal was delicious and the staff were well trained friendly and polite

Food was lovely , service was even better thanks Sarah. Keep up the good work 🤗

We have been to the restaurant few times and had takeaways too and we are never disappointed! The food is amazing and full of flavour. The garlic nan is amazing! The staff are so friendly and service is always quick, slightly slower on busy nights, but that's to be expected from a popular restaurant. Cocktail menu is fab and the owners always stop to chat to customers. Would recommend a visit.

First time ordering from here. The pizza and pasta were both amazing. The best I’ve had in a while. Driver was nice and friendly also. Will be ordering again for sure.

Always nice food and great service

One off the best places I have had a meal staff excellent customer service second to none friendly and always willing to go that further for you from start to finish 👍

Popped in to hotel to ask if we could see menu for restaurant. The lady on reception was very friendly & most helpful. Menu had a good choice. Meals were lovely. Served quickly by friendly members of staff. Restaurant is nice & comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere. We most definitely will return!

My wee girl loves this place... thought I would treat her tonight but when I turned up it was closed and can't get any response when calling :( where did you go steakhouse?
