The best restaurants in South West Scotland

Impressive coffee shop with an excellent food menu too. It's not very often I get food envy but I had it here seeing what others had ordered! Although it's quite big inside it was busy and I'd recommend booking in advance if you have a larger group. Parking at the public car park around the corner is cheap and convenient. This is a good meeting spot in Hamilton and I'd go back.

Great staff, welcoming and enthusiastic

Food and service were great, not that busy, not sure why on a Friday night just after pay day, when the food is this good, would definitely recommend and go back again .

Great lunch menu, service first class,try the ribs

Awesome local bar. Amazing staff. Cheap location.

A lovely friendly family restaurant. Food services excellent .did not feel rushed over my meal value for money .looking to my second visit!

Great food king prawn piccante is the best ever plus great friendly service

Usually the atmosphere is really good but we had a late booking (our choice) highly recommend 😊

Great little restaurant and food was excellent - unfortunately only bottled beers

I've been 3 times over the last year, once was exceptional, once was ok and most recent visit was disappointing. Scallop starter and fillet steak were wonderful, flavorful and beautifully cooked. 'Denver' wagu special was disappointing, after querying what kind of cut it was the waitress disappeared and came back having seemingly asked the chef and told me it was similar to a cross between fillet and sirloin... I ordered it based on that. When it arrived it was blue instead of medium rare and really really tough. Waitress took it away and brought it back 10 mins later, said the chef agreed it was a bad cut but had inexplicably cooked it for longer and I was asked if I wanted it? It was still tough so I asked for something else. By the time it was brought out my wife's meal was long finished and I had lost the notion. At it's best the food is amazing, but if I'm spending £100+ per head I want consistency, and I don't want my menu to be behind a plastic cover. I won't be rushing back after my most recent experience.

Simple Menu Options but very flavorsome, friendly staff, been going here for years and couldn’t fault it.

Absolutely delicious meal.would highly recomend The Boswell.

threw burger and chips in the bin

Great place, great food. Friendl staff.

OMG - do not hesitate if you are reading reviews and looking for a delicious deli sandwich! We were passing through Largs and contemplating stopping at supermarket to pick up a sandwich when we decided to treat ourselves to something a little more 'upmarket'. The ciabatta with halloumi and sundried tomato and rocket and pesto was everything I dreamed of and more, so fresh and tasty. I wish I lived closer, I would love to try more of the menu based off my single experience. Everything in the deli looked fresh, was reasonably priced, and the staff were really accommodating and welcoming. Will 100% be back next time I'm in the area. Would love to sit in for something next time. 5 stars!
