The best restaurants in South West Scotland

Table booked on 24/12/2019 for 9 people to have lunch on 5th Jan 2019. We were told when ordering our drinks that they had only one can of diet coke!! Bad start. One hour after our arrival no food had been brought to the table. Eventually starters were served. Food average. When we asked for salad cream for a salad it was to be told that they didn't have any! I ordered fish and chips and was told they didn't have any fish ' only scampi. Attitude to customers was take it or leave it! I felt they had let us down and Dalry down. We will not go back there again.

Friday night takeaway with the family. First time using dirty dogs. Excellent service. Friendly staff. Great quality produce being used. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend and I WILL be back!!!

Stopped in whilst out cycling for a coffee and cake. This was the perfect place with seating indoors or out, bike stands for the cyclists and water bowls out for the dog walkers. A great community resource that encourages people to enjoy the outdoors. Friendly, welcoming staff that created a lovely atmosphere to sit and enjoy our refreshments. We tried the coffee and the gluten free chocolate crispy cake… the coffee was as good as I’ve tasted in other coffee shops and the cake was fantastic. We’ll certainly be stopping in again whilst cycling down this stretch of the coast.

Best takeaway in Ayr. The stonebaked pizzas are absolutely delicious, as is the pasta. And the chip suppers are excellent. Fast and HOT delivery, can’t beat it.

Not a tea room. Just a basic cafe. Coffee was awful. Tea served in a mug. Cakes under glass domes looked like they'd been there for a week. Shabby decor. Service mediocre

Lovely friendly pub. Has such a friendly environment with good deals on food and drink. Great for a family meal or date night. Will definitely be back !

Have stopped here for coffee a few times after meetings with a local business. Really friendly service and good coffee.

This place is warm, cosy, friendly, and makes simple v tasty, well seasoned food. The prices are good, the service comes with a smile. It's a bit like being looked after by your your grandma who likes to spoil you. This is not fine dining. It's better than that, as it's like being part of their family.

Venue is stunning. Super cute and cosy feel. Staff were nice, but I do feel they lacked enthusiasm and communication. We waited 20 minutes for our first 2 drinks (beer and a porn star martini) 40 minutes for our second 2 cocktails. We were given one drink free as we had waited so long. We had gone out with the intention of trying as many cocktails as we could but we felt like staff had actually forgotten about us. With only 4 tables, I find that hard to believe. When we were ordering food it all went pretty easy. The food took a respectable time to come out and it was actually pretty tasty! After our food was cleared the waitress asked if we wanted another beer over, i said yes but my friend was about to order and she walked away. We had been in the restaurant from 6-8pm had our meal and 6 drinks and generally felt a bit deflated after it. On a brighter note. When we did get the cocktails they were amazing, the place was clean and food was really nice. Just might get a takeaway instead next time.

Situated well within the High Street of Irvine. Food was great and fairly priced. enjoyed a great lunch with my friend but the experience was ruined by a member of staff shouting at other customers and also staff.

I was gifted a birthday breakfast box and we were blown away with how good it was. The food was delicious and the service was great, we will definitely be back soon to try some more delicious food.

Went here today with high expectations as it’s always busy. I was very disappointed. We ordered 2 sandwiches and a portion of chips. The chips were frozen chips. Sandwiches were nice but small salad was basically lettuce with no dressing . Still like a school canteen having to go and order food at desk. Much better places nearby, with proper home cooked foods.

Lovely little dinner. Friendly staff, nice food, fast service. Clean and simple food, Greta for everyone of all ages, lovely with children they have a disabled toilet which would rate 10/10.

Great traditional Italian cafe. Clean and competitively priced. A good choice of menu from snacks, toasties and various hot and cold drinks Best of all was the lovely friendly staff Good to feel welcome and valued as a customer.
