The best restaurants Dumfries

The Cavens Arms is a great address in Dumfries! Systematically re-elected best local pub every year by the Camra, he held the title from 2006 to 2012, and won it again in 2015. The food is as typical as it is generous, with nice portions of meat, fish, curry, burgers and more. At the bar, there are up to ten real ales, which makes it the place to be, both for eating and drinking. The decoration is simple but classic, with carpet, benches and paintings. Attention: no restaurant service on Mondays.

This was one of Robert Burns' favourites when he stayed in Dumfries. Although it has evolved and been renovated since then, it has kept its soul and a beautiful authenticity. The poet's unconditional admirers will even be able to sit where he sat and recite a few verses from his pen, as he did himself. In the kitchen, the establishment has called upon chefs familiar with starred restaurants, for a very appreciable quality. On the bar side, we will mention the 250 or so whiskies, but also the wide choice of beers and cocktails.
