The best restaurants in South Ayrshire South West Scotland

Just had one of the most enjoyable meals in a very long time. One if the best restaurants in Ayrshire. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. Totally mouthwatering dishes. Loads of choice and fresh ingredients used throughout. The lamb I had just fell off the bone and was lovely and tender. Plenty of parking spaces outside. Totally recommended!

A France meets Ayr night at The Bistro-gorgeous cocktails;interesting menu- onion soup,duck,bourguignon and fish were beautifully cooked; service was,as always,immaculate. Thanks to the whole team for a really lovely evening- looking forward to the next one.

Terrific to find a multi-award-winning vegan cafe in Ayr. Delicious, healthy food and friendly and welcoming staff. Busy and a great find. Highly recommended.

Always great to stop by and grab a cappuccino and, if a little on the more expensive side, it certainly beats the big coffee chains! Highly recommended.

A fantastic place! A quaint cafe in an idyllic location. Delicious food and great service! A good choice of food, reasonably priced and dog friendly which is a bonus in my opinion with an option to buy doggy ice cream. All of the staff were efficient and very friendly. Can’t wait to go back again, we used to stop off years ago when visiting Dunure and it wasn’t very inviting however now you receive a welcome second to none. We wish the owners and staff all the best for the future.

Lovely meal& very helpful staff. There were six of us, we all had something different & all enjoyed what we ate. We will definitely return. Had been in for coffee and cakes a previous time they were delicious also. Hope people give them a try as they will surely return due to the high standards.

Good wee scran in honest wee cafe Went in there while my bike was being worked on by North Harbour motorcycles. Servce good and food well cooked

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.

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

Beautiful location set near the river Ayr in Auchincriuve Estate. Fresh produce grown 20 metres from the kitchen! Home made soup, sandwiches, baking, daily specials,seasonal menus...a real gem for taking family and friends......the staff are lovely.

Went here last night, for two Birthday celebrations, my friends 65th, & my 80th.The food was nothing short of amazing, hot, good portion sizes, & lot's to choose from on the Menu. The king prawn sizzler I had was beautiful, & you could tell they were fresh. My fellow birthday girl, had a cheese nan among other things, that she said was fabulous, My Husband, wolfed his food down, & said he wouldn't hesitate to come back here again. We weren't rushed,were asked if we were ready for the next course. or did we want to rest for a while ( which we thought was so nice ) The new owner, could't do enough to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. This is a lovely Restaurant, affordable, & with a great atmosphere.Will see you again very soon, & hope you get lot's of Customers, as you certainly deserve it. The effort you've put into the Mountain Spice restaurant definately shows...Well done ! See you very soon.

This was such a pleasant surprise. We were staying in Glenapp Castle and expected traditional fine dining in the main building, but not a Michelin-quality modern restaurant in the grounds. I was sceptical at first and had to be convinced by my partner to try this place, but I was certainly glad I did! The atmosphere on arrival is beautiful - you have a welcome canapes and drink in a green house area with pools, fresh growing herbs and other greenery around you. It was very special. Afterwards, you are treated to a fantastic, modern cuisine dinner that is exceptional with an excellent selection of wines. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are staying in the Ballantrae area. Just lovely!

Best food in prestwick burgers are amazing great value and great service friendly atmosphere very clean environment all round

We were traveling through in our motorhome and parked up on the harbour. Went for a walk into town but only got ad far as the harbour in, thought we'd pop in for a quick drink...... 4 hrs later we walked out, locals were welcoming and although due to the strong accents we hardly understood the banter we had a great time, beer and whisky flowed, then some more and it was a great night, prices are the best we've found on a 500 mile trip, selection of whiskies was massive even some rare ones, if you're passing you must go in...

Aside from the gentle ribbing the queue, there was a plethora of options. A tuna sandwich here does not mean a sandwich with just tuna, think again! Cheese. Coleslaw. Salad. The bread could barely contain itself. Haggis slice, sausage roll both great. Cakes the size of your head, well worth the type 2 diabetes. Would return.
