The best restaurants in South West Scotland

Our visit was when Covid restrictions were being lifted and need to be viewed in that context. We stayed in the Lodge and wandered down for dinner. The wait for a pre-dinner drink was somewhat longer than we would have hoped and that reflected the service level throughout the meal - somewhat slow. The food itself was of a high standard but not truly memorable. We will return, I hope!

My husband and I visited the Abbeygreen Cafe today for lunch enroute from Elgin to Warwickshire. It is ideally situated just off the M74 motorway. We had a warm welcome from the friendly staff and the food, drink and service were excellent. Prices were very reasonable . We would highly recommend. !

Staff are so friendly, cheerful and helpful, really set the tone for a pleasant lunch. The food was great, big portions and really tasty. Thank you Kayleigh for making our lunch special 🙂. We'll be back!

Came here for a quick bite after doing some of the Burns Trail in Mauchline. With the social distancing in place, there's no sit in and the cafe only serve food from the front door. The menu is very much traditional British foods, so you'll not go wrong if that's what you're after. Even though the staff were only serving through the front door, they're still friendly and welcoming.I got myself a Jaffa Cake and a Latte. The former did indeed taste like a Jaffa Cake (biscuit), although it was a bit too sweet. The latte was decent. Not sure about all the 5 star ratings, but it was decent food and I give it an extra star because the prices here are very keen.

My wife and i visited for lunch today. This was our second visit to the Clydesdale restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service we received during our visit was excellent. Our waitress was attentive but not interfering. This contributed greatly to our enjoyment of the meal. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and you feel relaxed and comfortable in this setting. The Clydesdale offers a different dining option and is an asset to the area.

It’a a great coffee shop to go to the cakes and food are world class the staff are great people and they always help you

Thought it would be a quick stop en route to the ferry but shivered for 20 minutes in the car park for our breakfast rolls. Square sliced and onions tasty enough but (instant ) coffee was rank. Never again.

I went here with my partner for an evening meal and was very disappointed following the number of positive comments from other diners. The food felt extremely processed and the chicken was extremely tough and overcooked in both of our dishes. The decor is nice and the beer was good but the food was not. The staff are very attentive but overall I was unimpressed.

We had a lovely night we were served by Erin she was extremely helpful and made our night she advised us on the menu and on the wine and tried to get seats next door at the t bar

Got 3 cheeseburgers and chips. The burgers were well overcooked not the first time, and the person who cooks obviously isn't capable. What a waste of £20

Bueno, normalmente no me detengo tarde por la noche en busca de comida, pero esto tiene que ser recomendado. Eran las 955 de la tarde, el lugar cierra a las 10 de la noche, así que eché un vistazo para ver qué había y nada que ver, pero el chico dijo "podemos poner algo para ti" Pensé que estaba escuchando cosas y 10 minutos después una magnífica cena de pescado. Conduje a casa y comí en la casa, ahora tengo una barriga muy feliz, tal vez no sea la comida más saludable a altas horas de la noche, pero es lo mejor para mí. Servicio de personal increíble. ¿Necesitas probarlo si ya no estás haciendo cola jajaja?

Katsu curry sauce was more like a Chinese curry sauce. Ramen broth wasn't of any standard never mind high. Everything expected warm was tepid. Burger was delicious and fries portion was generous. Sushi was excellent.

Perfect spot on a rainy day . Service was professional and friendly . Good choice on the menu with the soup and sandwich combo really good value . Decking outside looks well kept . Great value and good quality .

Went here for breakfast, before getting the train. After checking out previous reviews, we were pleasantly surprised. Good food, freshly cooked to order. Staff are also willing to swap if you don't like certain items. Only thing I didn't like was, the toast comes buttered. Friendly staff & decent price. Will definitely visit again.

Came here with my fiancé for dinner and food was amazing and service was great!! Everything was reasonably priced will definitely be back
