I started with a tomato, lentil, and sage soup; then I had a delicious calamari appetizer--seared, peppery squid pieces served over a rocket salad. My main dish was Moroccan kefta with hummus, cous cous, and minted tomatoes. What a feast, and all of it very good. I also drank a heather ale. Did you know that heather has been used in brewing for about four thousand years, and that only in the sixteenth century did Scottish brewers universally convert to hops to comply with English laws? Fascinating!

Finally, the lady behind the drink counter came and took care of us, but it seemed a bit confusing. Once we got the ordering squared away the food came out quickly and it was all delicious. I wanted a light lunch, so I ordered the stuffed potato with a side salad. The salad was crisp and perfectly dressed, while the potato was hot and filling. It was a little pricey for lunch, but the food was so good it balanced out.

Dumfries could really use more spots like this - the centre of town has too few lunch venues: I really hope the folk here go from strength to strength. The place has some nice touches, free wifi, and a good selection of options on the menu, together with a specials board. I went for the New Yorker ciabatta: pastrami and gherkins and cheese, toasted perfectly. Came with a nice salad, a few crisps and a creamy coleslaw. Service was prompt and very friendly. Couple of rough edges - minor decor touch ups requires, and inside tables are hilariously wide: you'll wanting to be sat next to, rather than across from anybody you're with. But that's no bad thing- they've only been open a short while, and doesn't detract from things in the slightest. Also we almost walked past: think they could use a bit more obvious signage. Will definitely be back next time I'm visiting Dumfries.

Enjoyed the goat cheese, beet root, rocket ciabatta and a freshly made scone with a side of fresh cream. The kids menu was very reasonable at £2/ea and both ate their plates clean. One had the smoked ham with cheddar, the other smoked ham with goat cheese. Nice corner of toys and color pages for kids to bring back to tables. Would definitely come back to this sweet shop!

It looks like a greasy spoon when you walk in and the back room could be a church basement, but the staff and friendly and helpful (I had never seen fried haggis) and the food is great. It was a recommendation from the young lady who did our distillery tour (do it!). It was not amiss. I had haggis, which is fried in light fish batter...lots of things are, including pork sausages (!) Bit of a shock to health-conscious north Americans. The batter was good and the haggis inside was outstanding. Get it with gravy, peel off the breading if you don't want the extra gut, and enjoy. My son had chicken parm, a giant pizza-like section of chicken with a slice of ham and a winter duvet of cheese. OMAD folks will be all done for the day. Cheese blend was perfect, chicken tender and moist. Chips were fluffy, done right. Some food is good for you, some is just good. This is the latter, served in a warm small-town atmosphere that shouldn't be missed.

It as a good few mins before the manager greeted us, and as it was busy in the bar and we said we would go straight to our table and order a drink whilst we perused the menu. Again it was quite few mins before we ordered 4 Peronis and a sparkling water. We waited a further few mins before we were given menus, and at least 10 before our order was taken (still no drinks) . We eventually got the drinks after about a 20 min wait, and some 30-35 mins after we first arrived. Not good enough. Food arrived and was generally of a good standard, and enjoyed by my guests. Only quibble was I thought my Gigot of Lamb rather on the tough side. Good selection of wines, though we chose more medium priced ones rather than cheap ones. The 'Big Ass' Cabernet Sauvignon was excellent, and we enjoyed the St Veran also. Bill was £211 for five. (But the wines were about £54) I would go again but they need to get their act together from a service point of view , and have sufficient staff when theyre busy. Since I guess most people will book , they should know what to expect.
