The best restaurants in South West Scotland

An absolutely fantastic meal, great atmosphere, staff were wonderful, just a great place to be for great food.

Great place for a stop on way to Ferries. Lovely homemade pies and staff were really friendly and helpful

Excellent meal. Very busy. We just dropped in for lunch as we were passing, no reservation. Food presented well by good staff. If we were to be passing again I would book. Reasonable price if not a touch on the expensive side. Choices in the area are slightly limited if you are driving through, but we made a good choice going to Souters. I would recommend a visit but also that you book.

Had great lunch here few weeks ago. Amazing food and friendly service.

Great atmosphere and lovely staff.service is brilliant and the very clean and tidy. I would take my wife here for a drink. I would definitely would recommend this pub. Hao is very accommodating and always you feel welcome.

Friendly traditional pub. Excellent service.

We came for a spot of lunch and my partner ordered a panini and I had asked for a plain scone (toasted). The waitress returned with a fruit scone toasted and I explained that I had asked for a plain scone. The waitress took the scone away and then came back with it to advise that there aren’t any plain scones and I would need to pay for it as it had been toasted. I was also told that I had asked for a fruit scone, but I never, and this was verified by my partner. Plus, I can’t eat fruit scones. The service was really poor and not customer focused. I would not come back.

I had a fantastic time and food and drink experience here. The place has been remodelled and the food well it was great. Service has always been good here but now it is all just great. Fantastic views over Irvine harbour. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Lovely lunch with friends. Good value food well cooked and presented. Excellent service. Great views towards the sea.

Really delicious food in nice, lovely atmosphere. This was our first time visiting Zucca and it won’t be our last. Staff were both knowledgeable and pleasant and looked after us very well. Food was freshly prepared and really enjoyable. Will definitely be back.

We had a great meal in this excellent restaurant. They serve what they call 'Scottish Tapas', letting you try lots of different dishes with a Scottish slant. There are Meat, Fish and Vegetarian options with lots of side dishes and all of the ones we chose were delicious. And the waiting staff were helpful, efficient and charming. Would go again at the drop of a hat.

Special, was really special, delivered a fantastic meal.

Best food around great Menu and particularly fabulous Sunday sirloin of beef yum yum

What an amazing experience. From talking to Roy on the phone and making the reservation, this was perfection from start to finish. Met Roy, Justin, Alaisha, Bobby and Oli. They are so friendly and attentive and great ambassadors for the company. Food was superb and the menu caters for all tastes. Wonderful location with a relaxing atmosphere. This is a must visit restaurant when in the area. Will be back for sure.
