The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Lowlands

Great atmospheric diner...very retro and great coffee. Good choice of ice cream and attentive staff...loved the old fashioned style.

Today we visited and as it was a Sunday i decided on a chicken dinner,big mistake.Where do i start?Chicken was very dry and not hot,roast potatoes were small and hard,carrots were raw,parsnips were rock hard and had a bitter taste.Mash was tasteless and cauliflower cheese had a vague taste of cheese.The peas and yorkshire were ok but the latter was very small.My gravy was lukewarm so they kindly heated it till it was more like molten lava!I had to ask for napkins as apparently us customers cannot be trusted to use the dispensers!I wouldn't advise anyone to eat here,had an upset stomach all afternoon.

Love this place for a stop-off between Manchester and Glasgow! It's just lovely for lakeside stroll with soft grass to picnic on and paths to explore away from cars and roads.

We had 6x rooms booked for wedding including the Ash suite paid extra for family and guests fur a wedding the Ash suite there was no hot water for bath and patio doors blowing open and rattling all night. There where still gift left in cupboard from 60th party. We booked 2x dressing gowns and slippers and put on our bill but where not allowed to take them.rang reception said no hot water and attitwas couldn't care less re water or patio doors they also explained not to take dressing gowns as did not belong to hotel.. Reception staff very cold and uncaring it seen they have had your money and not bothered we where a small party for wedding but should be treated as well as a 200 party not looked down on like something they stood in .the ceremony at the gretna Anville was amazing couldn't fault it fool if laughter and fun but also very professional by all concerned even the piper was outstanding the meal was lovely but very very slow booked for2.30 started gone 3 two course took 2houes ..then had to chase staff for clearing tables as everyone was getting bored by the time we got to coffee and shortbread which was extra there was only 6 at the table

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.

I usually head for Stranraer every 2weeks ish and always head for the coffee bean as well as it being the best breakfast in Stranraer it's very friendly staff and quality of food make it a must. I'm always here for breakfast which is amazing never any complaints there's even the daily special scones well worth trying

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.

Visited this pub more than once this week. Nice friendly landlady and staff. Cheap bar prices. Very small bar but there are seats outside at the front, which is a bit of a suntrap, or in the large beer garden at the back. Locals chatty and helpful. Thankfully dogs not allowed in the bar as a couple of dogs in the very small bar space would be accident waiting to happen. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Staff are always well mannered and professional. The food is always of the highest quality and it is great value for money.

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

It's always a treat, going to this café. They do really nice cakes and drinks. We always park at Trent Lock and walk along the river to get there, which is a lovely way to spend the afternoon.

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.

Food was cold and disgusting. Steak burger was served in a roll which looked like something that would be served in a chippy. Waitress has clearly not been trained properly at all as her hospitality skills were dragging through the dirt.

Over charged. £4.00 cheesecake (tiny slice) charged up at £4.50. £3.50 hot chocolate ends up at £5.00. Never been charged for each individual addition of cream & marshmallow. And no idea what the 50p crispies were ! Don't mind if these charges were informed, but no mention when ordering and offered extras. Not impressed, felt cheated after the visit and subsequently looked at the receipt.
