The best restaurants in South West Scotland

The food is always sublime! And it has great value for the money! BUY SOME CHICKEN

Stopped here for lunch with my Dad who has onset Dementia and struggles at times in unfamiliar places ,I cannot Thank the staff enough for being so understanding and caring they certainly made my lunch experience very enjoyable. The Homemade Mushroom Soup was super and my Dad ate all his sandwich which was highly unusual as half normally goes in a Napkin and taken home for later as he states “I don’t eat much anymore “ 😂 , Then he wanted some of the Home baking and obviously some to take home for later. Looking forward to our next trip to Lanark. Keep up the great work .

Never in my life have I paid £5.75 for 2 slices of bread and grated cheese 🫣 Some serious reconsideration of realistic pricing needs to happen!

Been here a number of times and the fish is always ok and freshly cooked with crispy batter. Chips are made from potatoes rather than bought in. Staff are a local family. Value has gone down significantly and I haven’t been back since the change.

We recently discovered CGulls in Troon when walking around the shops. It is on the street behind the main thoroughfare in the old Post Office building and is a hidden gem ! It is very well spaced inside and absolutely spotless which makes it feel safe and relaxing at the same time. The food and drinks are very reasonable and excellent quality - the homemade soup is our favourite. They also do non-dairy milk which is a pleasing change from many places. We can't fault the staff or the service - polite, friendly, efficient and all wearing masks and following all the covid guidance. I cannot recommend it highly enough and would definitely say to people to just walk an extra minute around the corner for a real treat.

Been here twice now and it is a lovely wee cafe. Service was excellent and food lovely. Really nice relaxed atmosphere.

Table booked on 24/12/2019 for 9 people to have lunch on 5th Jan 2019. We were told when ordering our drinks that they had only one can of diet coke!! Bad start. One hour after our arrival no food had been brought to the table. Eventually starters were served. Food average. When we asked for salad cream for a salad it was to be told that they didn't have any! I ordered fish and chips and was told they didn't have any fish ' only scampi. Attitude to customers was take it or leave it! I felt they had let us down and Dalry down. We will not go back there again.

Not a tea room. Just a basic cafe. Coffee was awful. Tea served in a mug. Cakes under glass domes looked like they'd been there for a week. Shabby decor. Service mediocre

Friday night takeaway with the family. First time using dirty dogs. Excellent service. Friendly staff. Great quality produce being used. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend and I WILL be back!!!

Stopped in whilst out cycling for a coffee and cake. This was the perfect place with seating indoors or out, bike stands for the cyclists and water bowls out for the dog walkers. A great community resource that encourages people to enjoy the outdoors. Friendly, welcoming staff that created a lovely atmosphere to sit and enjoy our refreshments. We tried the coffee and the gluten free chocolate crispy cake… the coffee was as good as I’ve tasted in other coffee shops and the cake was fantastic. We’ll certainly be stopping in again whilst cycling down this stretch of the coast.

Best takeaway in Ayr. The stonebaked pizzas are absolutely delicious, as is the pasta. And the chip suppers are excellent. Fast and HOT delivery, can’t beat it.

This place is warm, cosy, friendly, and makes simple v tasty, well seasoned food. The prices are good, the service comes with a smile. It's a bit like being looked after by your your grandma who likes to spoil you. This is not fine dining. It's better than that, as it's like being part of their family.

Have stopped here for coffee a few times after meetings with a local business. Really friendly service and good coffee.

Lovely little dinner. Friendly staff, nice food, fast service. Clean and simple food, Greta for everyone of all ages, lovely with children they have a disabled toilet which would rate 10/10.

Great traditional Italian cafe. Clean and competitively priced. A good choice of menu from snacks, toasties and various hot and cold drinks Best of all was the lovely friendly staff Good to feel welcome and valued as a customer.
