04/12/2018: Kept off the pasta and pizzas that proved popular on the half-price menu on the night. All three of us were delighted with the food and service. Quality of local ingredients was excellent. You won't go wrong here!

23/11/2018: Loved our meal at this restaurant. The food and service were wonderful. The seafood pasta is seriously delicious!

09/12/2018: What an amazing place. The coulpe who run it are very friendly and amazing cooks. The brownies, coffee, scones and sandwiches are rally good.

02/12/2018: Decided to come to Rialto after reading the reviews. Have only visited a couple of times and we only had time for coffee and cakes, but it was excellent. Very good quality coffee and the standard of baking was first class. Friendly, professional service. We'll definitely be back, hopefully for lunch next time.

09/12/2018: We sampled the pre-Christmas menu on Saturday night we loved the Prosecco and canapé, tempura sea food, sea bass where excellent and the Christmas pudding was wonderful or guest from Ireland couldn’t believe we have such a fantastic place to eat.

01/12/2018: Had early evening dinner. Food was well prepared and the staff were excellent. Wine list is extensive and well priced. The restaurant is beautifully situated at the end of the beach with lovely views over the harbour and bay. Cost of meal with alcohol, starter, main and coffee - well priced at £25.

17/12/2018: Lovely owners and freindly staff. Great choice and a fantastic atmosphere. Setting is like my Nan's oldd sitting room, decadent and unusual

04/12/2018: Mustard Pana Cotta starter was as good as its intriguing name suggests as were the Duck Bon Bons. Venison Short Loin was cooked to perfection with a superb sauce. Cheese board had an excellent local selection to round off our enjoyable dinner.

26/11/2018: Day trip to the harbour . Watched all the seafood coming out of the boats and wandered into the local cafe. Staff very friendly and good quality food on the menu. Although the Cullen Skink looked and smelled fabulous I had to go for the Crab Baquette.

20/11/2018: We stopped for a quick lunch and because of other reports on TripAdvisor, we also chose the Cullen Skink. A veritable meal in a soup bowl and utterly delicious. Excellent and friendly service. Do stop by!

11/12/2018: Great place to visit. Books galore delicious food and oh so quirky tiffin. 5* all the way. Good value too

06/11/2018: Great cuppa and proper china cup with tiffin with friends. Superb tiffin as always. Always new tiffin recipes on offer.

11/12/2018: First visit for me - would definitely go again. A little on the expensive side but the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. If we had to find a negative it would only be that the drinks could have arrived a bit quicker.

09/12/2018: Booked here for 7 people last min and late on a Sunday night.... What a hidden gem. Delicious well presented locally sourced good. Warm contemporary surroundings. Friendly staff and reasonably priced meal. Our vegan /vegetarian family members had good choices too so very happy with their meals. Thank you all

06/11/2018: Staying on the nearby caravan site we decided the short walk in the rain might be worthwhile and what a nice surprise. A great meal sat near the lovely open fire in an equally warm and welcoming environment. My lobster lasagna was an amazing start, followed by a good steak and chips. The star of the evening though would have to be the wife’s Lamb, absolutely fantastic. All in all great meal with excellent service. We will be back.

02/11/2018: We had a coffee here before going for a walk and decided to come back for our evening meal. So glad we did, the food was lovely as were the hosts, a nice open fire to warm up after a walk in November.

25/11/2018: Been once before for a quick bite, so looking forward to this visit. Not expecting lunch service to be so busy, so glad we had booked a table. Made the atmosphere buzzy, but not noisy.

03/11/2018: Really fantastic food! Fresh, imaginative, good portions served hot, with a smile! Rare find nowadays!

15/12/2018: Always loved coming here when visiting the area and was excited (and nervous) to find that it had been taken over by new owners! Thank goodness it was a pleasant surprise and we had a great lunch. We chose various items from the menu, all which were enjoyed. Loved being able to choose salads to match my meal too! Great staff and great food! A must if you're in the area.

02/11/2018: Stopped here for a bit of breakfast,nice interior nice people.. had bacon rolls and pancakes.. this place loves the butter... wouldn’t rush back..

21/10/2018: We visited on a Sunday night. There was a very extensive menu including gluten free and vegan options and a children's menu. Food was delicious with generous portions and great value for money. Very friendly, welcoming owners and a comfortable atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place!

20/10/2018: Pub caratteristico, ottime birre, ho preso delle crocchette di pesce e patate ottime, lui un hamburger, buono. Prezzi onesti. E c'è anche il biliardo

02/12/2018: Came for my hubby’s birthday. It was the night of the Thistle Awards at which the Clachan was in the final for best pub/ hotel in Dumfries &Galloway;.

15/11/2018: I visited the Clachan last night with friends. The first thing I noticed was how cold it was in the restaurant. Everyone in our party were cold and some even had to share their body warmers with their friends, whilst others had their jackets over their knees. The food was okay, large plates, although not much on them. My food was tepid/warm, it certainly was not hot. That said the staff were pleasant and helpful. The setting inside is nice. However based on last night's visit would I go back and would I recommend - I have to say not sure and not sure would be my answer.

10/11/2018: Visited this week and had lovely coffee and scones, lovely atmosphere and great staff, also lovely log burning stove, well worth a visit.

05/11/2018: Sunday breakfast, french toast with maple syrup followed by poached eggs with salmon and hollandaise sauce, nice view of the river too.

18/12/2018: Visited here with friend on what must have been the wettest day of the year! The cafe is smallish but cosy and inviting. The owner happily agreed that we could put two tables together as there were five of us. We ordered soups and a variety of sandwiches. The soup was piping hot and the sandwiches were generous with lots of garish on the side. They also do lovely cakes but as we were dining out later in the day we resisted the temptation. Great value for money, I’d recommend visiting if your in Castle Douglas

12/12/2018: My teenage daughter tells me it was the best white hot chocolate she had ever had! The teenagers feasted on the jacket potatoes and gave them thumbs up and my husband and I had bowls of soup. The soup was definitely homemade and delicious! It took all of my will power to resist the home baked goodies on the counter. Thanks for a lovely lunch! It is easy to see why you are rated no. 1 on TripAdvisor for lunch in Castle Douglas.

11/12/2018: I’m fortunate enough to live locally to this extraordinary place. It’s a way of living and a community that shares it’s produce alongside its ethos. Always a joy to visit.

10/12/2018: Very pleasant and popular cafe at Loch Arthur, Camphill Community.
