The best restaurants in South West Scotland

First time visiting this Italians in Rutherglen Main Street and it won’t be out last the good was amazing great value for money and the staff were lovely a little hidden Gem Can’t wait to return!

tasty quick service pizzas looked good wish i had got now

Second time we’ve been to this little gem of a restaurant. If you’re planning a visit to the island then phone ahead and book a table. Their coffee and lunches are great - but the evening meals are beautiful. Family owned restaurants with the owners and staff doing everything to make sure you have a perfect night.

We are regular visitors to vanilla joes where they make their ice cream on the premises. Loads of different flavours available. We both had a double cone and then went back for another double cone since we don’t get over there very often. We had pistachio ice cream, and strawberry cheesecake ice cream and Scottish tablet, with Belgium chocolate the second time round. They are nicely served in a quality cone with a lovely wafer.

Visited Ronzo for the first time and we're seated promptly, first at the window which was spacious enough but were then given a table as soon as one became available. We were served quickly and the food and drinks were excellent. The "Ronzio Stack" was lovely and they altered it to my own picky taste! The sugo really added something different and the Halloumi plate was apparently very nice as well. The servers were polite and we left full to the brim and happy - couldn't pick a better place for a lunch spot in the area.

Great place, excellent beers and fantastic whisky.

Hadn't been here for quite some time, visited tonight with wife and our two daughters, as usual the food was perfect, service perfect and very reasonably priced.

Fantastic restaurant, food is fantastic and a great choice best food I've tasted for a long time. So get down here and enjoy 😁

Very nice restaurant. Sweet and spicy chicken wings to start, followed by a spicy sausage pasta for my main. Absolutely delicious and will go back.

Best fast food in Hamilton. All ingredients are halal.

Had a great weekend of entertainment and craic in this pub!! Very tasty food, Met lovely folk! Bar staff and locals very friendly!! Thanks for having us 😊🍻 Love Lee & Gwen, de Irish lassies 🍀🇮🇪

I don't know if the "chef" knows the recipe for lasagna but there is no béchamel sauce at all. It doesn't taste like lasagna at all

It was quiet when we arrived just before closing. The waitress was brilliant and never rushed us, even though I'm sure we kept her late😎

Great wee pub with live entertainment mixed age group and a great atmosphere and spotless

Had lunch and cakes here, one of the best places for to go for food during the day on the island. It’s well liked and well known by a lot of visitors. People have been going for 20 years+. Got some history about it and the place has never changed. Highly recommend the specialty meringue cake dish. It’s huge but worth it. Really disappointed about the annoying opening hours. We drove to visit one day on a Saturday and it was closed. Turns out it was SHUT FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY EVERY WEEK DURING THE SUMMER PEAK PERIOD!! And we’ve found it it’ll be closed over winter too. We hear it’s to do with staffing issues which is a current issue but it was really disappointing to be closed on such busy peak days. Doesn’t make sense and we drove all that way
