The best restaurants in South West Scotland

We stopped by for a coffee after a walk and it was really nice. Loved the decor, friendly service, and good coffee. We also got cake too, and it was nice to see vegan options.

Just had a fantastic breakfast delivered from here. Food was fresh, warm and quick delivery. Honestly one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a while. 10/10

Visited for breakfast, lovely place nice staff seated quickly and ordered, I ordered a breakfast roll and toast and had specifically asked for my sausages to be well done, The gentleman taking the order did write this down however when my order came out the sausages were clearly not well done, my toast had been missed from my order but on highlighting this toast arrived, I have to say the toast was white as was my partner’s. Its a shame to have to highlight these small things but its things like this that matter to me when I am eating out.

Not too often you see places where the team all have set jobs but it's good to see. i.e. the person making food isn't touching money or the person touching raw food isn't touching the sandwiches/fillings, it's all very much different stations and is nice and clean. The food is really good and it's well priced for its quality. Only small issue (just for the sake that management can improve on it) is sometimes the waiting period. I've waited a long time for two panini before. Maybe because sit ins were prioritised, not 100% sure. I'd wait again though because it is very good but having worked in a restaurant I know that it's not really justified.

This small café/bistro operated varying limited hours and we were never entirely sure when it would be open. They also held bookable “themed” nights offering a taste of food from differing countries on occasion. Sadly having only recently discovered their very nice coffee and cake we followed this up with a lunch visit on 30 August 2024 only to discover of their plans to close the place permanently at the end of September 2024. It’s a pity since the food we had on this occasion was very good indeed. We both had chicken skewers Morrocan style, the tender juicy chicken pieces coated in a very tasty sauce which included fruit and all accompanied with a fresh salad with a lovely dressing. A very flavoursome dish overall. We followed this up with a giant decorative pot of tea for two served in china cups and some cake. My wife selected a “Lammington” - sponge cake coated in raspberry and coconut and served with double cream, whilst I had a portion of Blueberry & Lemon Tart with double cream. My wife was very happy with her choice and I found myself almost licking the plate despite it seems having been given 2 slices of the thin light pastry tart which was oozing with a delicious topping. Total cost was a reasonable £34. The owners in our experience were friendly and chatty and are moving on to other ventures based from their home. The place was busy at our lunch visit and there was a pleasant ambiance with satisfied customers enjoying their food and drink. Seems a pity that it won't be available in future. The single unisex toilet was very well maintained.

Food here is amazing. The cakes are 10/10 best cakes around and always a huge selection. Defo recommend to anyone! Always friendly service too

A great little coffee shop with amazing coffee and cakes. A super selection of chocolate to eat in or take away . Lovely and knowledgeable staff

Really warm welcome, amazing food (been several times....pizza is fabulous) and good choice of soft drinks. One of our favourite places in our home town.

I took a friend who I owed a lunch to & as I drove through New Cumnock he spotted a cafe open. It was a delight to find this lovely cafe selling Greek food. We had coffee, traditional Greek pie(homemade) followed by baklava & a cinnemon iced bun. We chatted to the owner who had moved here from Athens to be cloe to his Mother in Glasgow. The coffee was so good we had a second cup. On paying the price was reasonable at £22.80 for two. We have already recommemded to friends & neighbours & will return. Open 7am until 4pm.

Lovely welcoming girls and amazing food would recommend to anyone 10/10 food ! Thanks again ladies xx

Fabulous authentic food We visited this for a Saturday evening opening. We both enjoyed our food, sharing the kottu and rice platter . Both were delicious, freshly prepared & cooked . The service was genuinely friendly and helpful . If , like us , you enjoy real food prepared when ordered , you can't fail to enjoy the food at Barn Street .

Had an amazing meal this evening. Food is absolutely delicious! I would recommend 100% It is all plant based and my goodness the food is so fresh and well cooked. We went and enjoyed a glass of wine which is bring your own with delicious food, such an excellent evening

If u are nearby or passing give this shop a try for something to eat. I would recommend a full scottish breakfast with the haggis, one of the best breakfasts I have ever tried if not the best. Staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Very Tasty, excellent breakfast roll and coffee ok price and environment in a good location also recommended the scrambled egg with cheese

Paid my first visit to Cafe City today and I’ll definitely be back! The coffees were fantastic, the guy working was nice and friendly, not to mention the Red Velvet Cake and Biscoff Millionaire which were to die for! Great wee local cafe that I’ll be going back to when I’m in town.
