The best restaurants in South West Scotland

Katsu curry sauce was more like a Chinese curry sauce. Ramen broth wasn't of any standard never mind high. Everything expected warm was tepid. Burger was delicious and fries portion was generous. Sushi was excellent.

Popped in for a takeaway whilst working in the area nice food and good value for money pleasant staff

Pizza always the way you ask great team nothing is 2 much hassle will defo be back for more lovely food thanks again Kevin .

Sadly this place has gone downhill in my opinion, I used to visit quite often but on my last visit we had to ask if it was ok to sit at a table although there were free tables, you are supposed to wait to be seated but stood for ages waiting . Service was extremely slow and items I asked for ie sauces , we never got. The waitress was on her phone behind the counter. Tea cups were badly stained and the tea pot was in need of being put through the dishwasher. Lots of food on the menu not available even though it was 2.30pm and the meal my child had was very overcooked. A very disappointing visit.

Went here with some friends after working up an appetite swimming. Food was absolutely stellar and all staff gave an excellent service with a smile. Great range of food and very accommodating to dietary needs, it can be a struggle to find somewhere with as many options for dairy/gluten free diets. 10/10 will definitely be back regularly.

We had a pleasant dinner in the Library at Dumfries House as part of a Christmas Festive Candlelit Tour of the house. With extravagant Christmas decorations the setting for a festive dinner was superb. Service by the young staff was very good and the dinner satisfactory though no choice. It was traditional Christmas fare but somewhat dry, overcooked turkey while the smoked salmon with salmon mousse was perfect. I would do it again!

Awful service. Ordered a rare boxset they had in stock, only for them to wait 3 days before taking it off the shop floor, by which time it had already been sold. Incredibly poor service, definitely would not trust them to actually have in stock what their shop says, save yourself a headache, go elsewhere for everything.

I don’t come from the area but popped in as I was early for an appointment nearby. Ordered bacon roll & coffee and then asked to use the toilet. When I came out the girl said to take a seat & she would bring it over. I offered to pay at this point using my phone then she said it was cash only. Unfortunately I did not have any cash on me. I apologised and was about to leave then the girl smiled and said “wait, you can have the roll” and she made me a bacon roll in a bag to take away. I’ve not been able to get this simple kind gesture out of my head for the last 24 hours and makes me smile just thinking about it. I didn’t catch her name but I hope she reads this and knows that her kindness had a very positive impact. Ohhhhh……& the bacon roll was delicious!

Best ice cream deserts and coffee in ayr !

A very scrumptious cream tea rounded off a very pleasant walk to the Abbey. the COVID safe protocols were very well worked out / organised. Food & Drink ordered at the window and delivered to your well spaced table. Well done all for making us feel safe & comfortable.

On a cold day and in need of something hot to eat we popped into the Coffee Pot while passing through Cumnock. More of a traditional cafe than coffee shop they have a decent menu of Scottish favourites such as macaroni cheese and chips, mince and chips, haggis, soups etc., and a selection of hot filled rolls (including a roll ‘n mince) as well as more exotic fare such as chicken tempura. We chose a couple of ranch burgers that were perfectly cooked, nicely presented and very tasty. Service was warm and friendly and, all in all, this is a super cafe.

Food excellent, with lots of gluten free options. Very dog friendly too. Has a little shop which sells some lovely items. Staff very friendly.

Fantastic, what a great meal, great menu, fab staff good prices, We will be returning very soon as its not far from us at all!

The restaurant was freezing. One of us ordered a baked potato which caused the delivery time to be very lengthy. Food was ok but not great. Atmosphere was lacking a little but perhaps because it had just opened for the day and had not really got going. Probably would not be going back but ok for a nothing special lunch

Food was lovely, had a gluten free range aswell without any issues staff could advise what was gluten free from menu - value for money aswell as big portions
