The best restaurants in Ayr West South Ayrshire South West Scotland

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.

So pleased we came across this cafe. Delicious, all Vegan home cooked food. The breakfast was wonderful, made to order and not a quorn sausage in sight! Coffee was perfect and the staff very friendly. It’s no surprise to see they have won awards. 😊

The café has a really warm and welcoming environment. The staff leave you to it but are very friendly and personable if you need any help. My boyfriend and I went here for just a couple of hours whilst we were on our holiday but we wish we could go more often as it was such a lovely place - it felt like they had their own little community. Big thanks to the staff and we hope that your business is thriving. We also managed to pick up a great game - Wildlands - which we had great fun playing that evening (would recommend).

Stopped for a quick breakfast at this bright and charming cafe. Good coffee, cooked breakfast and service.

Je n'ai jamais été déçue par un gâteau de cette pâtisserie. Par contre les Bredle, chocolats etc. gagneraient à être un peu moins chers pour me faire acheter autre chose que juste les gâteaux, qui eux sont pour la qualité à un prix normal. Sans doute la meilleure pâtisserie de BARR.

Have to say exrtremely impressed by this Greggs shop lovely staff excellent food and drink. All in all top notch indeed!

First time at the Italian restaurant the food an serves is First class beautiful really enjoyed it the only down fall is I asked for a skinny latte they only had full cream milk so had coffee ☕ instead but it won't put me off ill will go back 👍

Great place for a soup and sandwich good healthy traditional Scottish food great cheery staff that care about there customers will be back soon

We had a Tempura 2go and it was delicious. We had a main portion of Filthy Fries, a main portion of Naughty Fries, and two kids Chicken Tempura and Fries. All meals were very nice and tasted amazing. Big portions, we could not finish it all. Very friendly staff. Will be back!

The Old Racecourse has no rooms

One of the worst I have had in Ayr

During a short visit to Ayr I was looking for somewhere that would do some proper Scottish food. Trawling through Google I found the Chestnuts Hotel and wasn’t disappointed. We arrived without booking at around 6:30pm on a cold and windy early March evening. The place was buzzing and there were no tables available in the bar but we were taken to the restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was great and very good value for money. I have been charged quite a bit more for similar quality in similar environments. Totally worth a visit; I wish I was spending longer here so I could return.

Organised Christmas party of 30 people filled the place but the welcome was warm and everyone enjoyed their meal. We had the Christmas tradition meal lovely turkey with all the trimmings and Christmas pudding which was homemade with nice custard. Other options were included and everyone enjoyed the food.

We came here the other day as a family (4 adults & 4 kids) for lunch. The hotel, always picturesque, has been wonderfully adorned with seasonal decor 🎄 They seated us in a lovely spot within The Coven in front of a double height window overlooking the river. The food was amazing and the service perfect. I would highly recommend coming here, you will not be disappointed! 😁
