The best restaurants in South West Scotland

After having spent £152 on our meal which was satisfactory asked to wait outside for our taxi at 2205 because they wanted to close door shut very firmly behind certainly won’t be back

Absolutely amazing the flavours just melted on my tongue like an ice cream on a hot day the texture of the chips was rough yet firm with perfect salt distribution in every chip the sausage was battered near enough perfect could not recommend more love this little chippy with all my heart staple of my night time dinners and to that thank you over fork over

Thank you Eilidh for the perfect cappuccino. I had been to the retail park Costa just before this and left due to terrible service - not usually the case when Gill, Dean or the absolutly fantastic Sarah are on duty.

The staff are friendly and really welcoming but the surroundings not so much. It's a huge space with not a lot filling it. It was cold on the few occasions I was in. The menu has enough to suit most tastes but it is really expensive for what you get. Unfortunately, the cost has put me off going back. In comparison to other cafes in Hamilton, Macs is very overpriced.

Our family have been eating here for as long as I can remember. Always good and efficient service. The food is lovely. Best chippy chips about! I would def recommend this chip shop.

Rumours provided our wedding cake, cupcakes and favours. The service was outstanding and the flavours were excellent. They went above and beyond to make sure our special day had a special cake that all of our guests loved. Highly recommend to all.

Arran has this delightful Indian take away in Lamlash. I don’t think there are any others on the island. We are from the Midlands and have been visiting Arran for 39 years. We love pizza and Indian food. There’s plenty of pizza now on the island but that’s not for this review!! We found Indian Gardens food to be delicious and we thoroughly recommend. It is more than you’d pay on the mainland. YES. But please folks.... if you know Arran and love Arran then of course it’s more expensive. It’s blooming good food so order your take always and enjoy!

Superb fast service. We did not eat in the restaurant. Ordered at 7.23pm on a bank holiday Monday and received the food at 7.51pm. The food was delivered so quickly, that the steam was still rising from the rice, as we ate at the table. The food was delicious. The tempura vegetable starters and fish cakes had a delicious sweet chilli sauce. We had a selection of mains, including Pad Thai and green curry. All great. Portions very large. Highly recommended.

This is about the 10th time I have been here and the stock still is out of date. Same product everytime. Is it that hard to do a job

OMG! Amazing! We went for dinner the other night and it was awesome! Everything was cooked to perfection. I had the Mac n cheese and it was the best thing I’ve ever tasted. My partner had the peppercorn chicken! We both enjoyed everything about our visit! The meal the service and the entertainment. The DJ was so into what he was doing and just made our night! 100% will be back again!!!

Loved it here, the food was delicious, prices reasonable, it's spotlessly clean and the staff are so friendly and helpful, give it a try, you will not regret it

So went to pick up new Glasses today and as I was straight after work early shift was hungry . A Piri Piri place in mall Called Black Rooster ( yea crazy a chicken place ). It had advertised “ Vegetarian “ menu. Corn burger Paneer wrap Halloumi burger All of these. £4.50. With a variety of “ sauce” flavours . I had decided on the “ corn burger 🍔” Oh sorry we’ve “ phased “ those out . Puzzled look on my face … Ok I no would like the Halloumi Burger. Ahhh ok. With what sauce and do you want lettuce and Mayo Yes please Said I. I really want you to enjoy this I will have the Spicey BBQ please and make that a meal thanks that will be £7.50 Now at this point I sat more in Hope than confidence that this wasn’t a hooge mistake . Sadly it turned out my initial feelings were founded. This mess is what turned up . When is a burger not a burger !! I spoke to a staff member explaining my confusion. Oh we’ve “ phased out the Halloumi burgers” and we now only use the halloumi sticks !!! What would you like to do ? The manager should have explained this when she took your order. I’m sorry if she didn’t . Please just refund me. Thank you. So the moral in the Tale . If it’s a Chicken shop . No matter how “ cool and on trend they want to be seen as having vegetarian options. They will most likely still be a piri piri chicken shop that wants to be Nando’s but still fail with even the basics. 🤮

Worst chippy ever. Stale chips and rancid mushrooms will never return here. But into my battered mushrooms only to taste off sweaty mushrooms. Chips were okay but still a number of stale ones and one rotten one. If you don’t mind mediocre food then dine here.

Travelled up from Manchester to meet family before the football. They allowed me entry, allowed me to buy drinks then told me I had to find a table or leave… Was then thrown out with no refund for the drink I’d just paid for. Usually use this as the main meeting place with family and friends pre-match but won’t be back!

Went in to get an ice cream, man who works in the shop standing smoking a cigarette. Place was stinking. Looks closed from outside.
