The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Lowlands

I went on opening night with high hopes. The waitress who served us had been hired a few hours before, on the day of opening. The iPads used to take orders all crashed when the WiFi went down. So orders had to be retaken but there was no paper for the waiters and waitresses to write on. So we waited almost 30 minutes for food. The Thai curry I ordered came at the exact same time as our starters. The fact it was tepid when I finally started eating it mattered less because it was so over salty I could not eat it. My starter was quite nice. We had to share with our waitress the fact the bathrooms were overflowing with paper towel waste as they had forgotten to put waste bins in the loos. All in all it was not a great night out. Lockerbie needs a decent restaurant so we will give it another go and hope they have improved. If they don’t listen and learn though people might vote with their feet.

We holidayed in Drummore, due to covid,the Queens Hotel was the only available bar in the village. This was not a problem,the estrella gallicia was perfect,the staff were above and beyond helpful. The bar man knew his whiskies and was quite enthusiastic to point us in the right direction . All in in all, we spent a good few nights in this traditional bar.

Arriving in Galashiels on a cold, miserable morning we were disappointed to find that the delightful Why Not coffee shop has closed. There didn't seem to be an alternative but then we spotted that the Great Tapestry building has a coffee shop. Really excellent! Spacious, airy, comfortable, with excellent home baking and coffee, and really friendly staff. We shall know where to go in future.

Stumbled across this place while on holiday. Food was delicious and perfect size portions. Our whole family enjoyed the meal and service - highly recommend

We visited for a family meal and the quality of food was excellent. The menu had a great choice. I opted for the steak pie and it was huge. We had the most delicious desserts which again were massive. Overall everyone loved the food, the service and the restaurant.

Basic, didn't feel clean, coffee too weak

Stayed at the Days Inn at Gretna services. We were there for a wedding the following day. Drove to this pub for a few drinks, with the intention of a taxi back not realising that you needed to book well in advance. So we had a few more drinks played some pool and had some food which was I'd say cooked to order as it was all delicious. Lovely atmosphere and staff. Very friendly place. When we still couldn't get a taxi the Landlord kindly offered to take us to the hotel. We were absolutely grateful. Such a shame we hadn't realised they had rooms or we'd have booked there instead. Highly recommend this little gem of a place. Thank you 👍

Had no choice but to use this for food when staying at Annandale water days inn The usual Macdonalds- it’s always Luke warm even when ordered on the spot and the meat is always questionable

On visit to Galashiels, I just had to pop into Macaris for breakfast, been several times in the past, and wasn't disappointed. Great friendly service and great breakfast.

Lovely coffee and tasty freshly made breakfast rolls. The cakes also look delicious! I’ve been here a few times before, usually after Crichton parkrun which is held in the adjoining grounds and fancied popping in for a mid week coffee. Definitely worth a trip!

I have reviewed this Restaurant as part of the Galloway Arms Hotel, so this will hopefully clarify the earlier reviews. We have been on a number of occasions since the last review and we have not been disappointed with the food at the Nine Mile Bar & Bistro within The Galloway Arms Hotel. On this visit we chose two times Two Course Specials priced at £14.50 each. The Starters were battered Chicken Goujons, which was quite a large portion and Tempura coated Prawns. Both dishes were very good and the Chicken alone would have been enough for my Wife as a main course. (Small Eater). My Wife had the Beef Stroganoff and I had the Salmon in Dill sauce for the main courses. Normally, we tend to have just the main courses and therefore we had to take home the chips, which were provided along with the Stroganoff half & half. A pint of Moretti is £3.50 and a large Chardonnay is £5.00 and the total bill without tip came to £37.50. The surroundings in the Hotel's main bar is simple, but cozy. A 10 minute drive from Dumfries gets you to this Hotel and I think that it is worth this very small effort.More

2nd and last time we will visit. Card machine ran out of paper when we arrived and took them 15 mins to get one, I ended paying cash as I just had enough but not enough for a drink. After waiting 10-15 mins for lattes they weren’t very hot. Another 15 mins the breakfasts came, unfortunately we had asked for one with poached egg so that went back. 7 more minutes it came literally stone cold. Everyone in restaurant complaining. Very poor experience

We enjoyed our tasty sandwiches which came with a wee portion of side salad and some crisps. The cakes also looked delicious, but we didn't sample them.

Great Place could not fault the place great friendly service from the moment we stepped in the door till when we left. Great food lovely spacious quiet room amazing food and great entertainment looking forward to another Visit Joanne and paddy from Liverpool.

Good pitstop on the way to Scotland
