The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Sadly they have now closed down, but if they ever reopen it’s excellent. (Aug 2023).

It's a great shame that this place will be closing shortly because the food and the staff are so lovely! Super according to a coeliac and went above + beyond in everything. Best of luck to Mr Pooks and all those involved in this little gem.

One of our favourite places to eat in Castle Douglas, if not our outright one. Proper authentic Italian food of really high quality, and they know how to entertain our 4 year old every time he's in. The fact they remember him is even better. Cannot recommend more highly.

Stopped for all day breakfast, pre 12oclock. Was told don't do breakfast, now there doing Sunday roast. Not a very nice attitude from assistant.

Lovely place to eat. It's advertised as an Italian but only one option on the menu. Food was good and plenty. Staff were lovely. I'd definitely go again

I didn't stay in the hotel we just booked in for a meal. I thought the food was first class. It was delicious, it arrived quickly but not so quick that I felt anything was microwaved. There were 8 of us and everyone (except that one person who always complains) seemed really happy. The waiting staff were competent and friendly and the prices were very good. I would definitely recommend it.

I visited Thomas Tosh last week while passing through Thornhill. Delighted to see that my favourite lemon and raisin cake is back on the menu, and that as always, the coffee, service and general atmosphere is good as ever! Thanks again to the staff, will be back next time I’m in the area

My wife and I visited for lunch while staying in Port Patrick. The house itself is relaxing, quiet and full of charm. We had the 4 course set menu which was divine. Soup to start, then salmon! To die for, then venison and cheese for after. Great wine selection, port and coffee. If you want something special and memorable then this is the place to go.

Delightful and charming small hotel in a rural setting Superb dinner and breakfast Very dog friendly - dogs and their owners will love it Walks nearby Super hospitality and warmth 10 lovely rooms to choose from Highly recommend for a mini break

Omg this place is top class!! Previous Michelin Star, they haven't dropped their standard. 2 or 3 course set menu, the menu had a map of Scotland titled The Larder, showing where their ingredients are sourced. I had the best Cheese Soufflé I've ever had, large for a starter and so cheesy tangy. Hubster had the salmon marinated in beetroot, on the small side but delicious. Beautifully rare lamb for main with a filo pastry black pudding, and a lamb samosa, so minty, amazing accompaniments and presentation. Hubster upgraded to a Rib Eye, said it was the best he'd ever had. Chef wasn't keen on serving it blue, but it was perfect. We were full really but couldn't resist the dessert menu. White chocolate rice pudding... omg just the best! And sticky toffee pudding. We'd mistakenly booked a bar table, and couldn't understand why we couldn't move to the restaurant as there were free tables, but the service was excellent, attentive and friendly. It was all amazing, thank you guys 👏

Short weekend break at this lovely hotel, the food was great in the bar which is the same menu as in the restaurant, good breakfasts too, lovely hosts that looked after us very well thanks for everything.

lovely venue and the cocktails are amazing! food was quite a let down - very expensive for the quality that is given. i had the truffle and parmesan fries, and the majority of the fries looked like crumbs - like what would come out of a freezer bag of chips at the very end. the sauce was quite flavourless. the chicken wings were lovely though, as was the chicken taco, and the halloumi fries. food is quite hit or miss i’d say, but the cocktails more than make up for the food.

Lovely place to visit, really nice atmosphere, really nice staff, good food and dog friendly. Will definitely have a revisit

Recently had a great meal from the Top Chippy, great food, good price and pleasantly served. Everything was freshly cooked and was of the highest quality

The meal on offer was a carvery, every carvery I have been to you go to the servery and chose your meat and the help yourself to the vegetables, not here the waitress asked which meat we wanted this was then plated and served with a very small selection of vegetables. There was very little meat, and it was not very hot, we asked for extra gravy which came in a milk jug !!!!!!. The fresh Fruit salad was mainly tinned friut. Needless to say we will not be dining here again.
