After reading reviews we made a reservation for our first night on holiday in Scotland and wow!!!!! So friendly and incredibly helpful especially providing gluten free food for our children. The food was absolutely delicious!!!

We just had an excellent meal in The Castle Bistro. Prawns in Tempura Batter shared starter, Coquet au Vin and Sea Bream main courses. Everything was excellent, great value and good portion sizes. We will be back when next in the area

Visited 05/08/23 We had a wonderful time. Food was top class. Service was friendly and approachable. Booking highly recommended as restaurant was full on evening we went and they were having to turn people away. I had Lamb Cannon, highly recommend was very very delicious....My fiance had veggie tart which she thought had a lot of flavour and was very tasty. My parents both had the sea bass which they both said was great. Restaurant also does pizzas. You can order these for takeaway too, but only one chef, so need to order these in advance. They looked very good and the table next to us said they were excellent. Desserts also very good.More

Easily the best food that we have had in Kirkcudbright and actually cheaper than other venues. The chicken on bed of haggis with a superb whisky sauce was great as was the lemon tart with 3 squiggles of caramel, raspberry & butterscotch and swamped with...single cream was gorgeous - and that for £5.50 !More

Service was good, very friendly and bistro is located in good position. Sadly, food wasn't as described by the chef, everything was overcooked, I was unsure whether the accompanying vegetables was fresh, if not they'd certainly had their flavour boiled out of them, wouldn't eat...there again or recommend.More

Just been for a lovely meal at the Castle Bistro in Kirkcudbright and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the sirloin steak and my good lady had the cannon of lamb, both cooked to perfection. We were well attended to and service was excellent and welcoming....It’s a small family place so disappointing to see a reserved table not being taken up when others were turned away. Would thoroughly recommend if visiting this delightful part of Scotland, we may not always have the weather but we always have excellent food!More

Second visit, once again food to die for, excellent wine, superb service and great atmosphere. Totally recommend for anyone visiting Kirkcudbright.....you must try the Rumquilla.

Appearances can be deceptive as was demonstrated on our visit here. From the outside it looks little more than a back street cafe. Inside is better and has a cosy feel (0nly 6 tables), but it's the food that counts and it was great as...well as excellent value for money with 2 courses for 2 plus a bottle of Chardonnay for £55. The chicken on a haggis base was particularly good. The chef/owner was very friendly and chatty which added to our pleasant experience.More

Located in the centre of Kirkcudbright, this little restaurant is a real gem. You'll need to book as there aren't many covers, but each dish is prepared fresh and is really appetising. The lass who welcomed us was friendly and helpful, telling us about the...specials. The food is lovely - we had roast mushroom with whipped feta and avocado for starters followed by a chicken and haggis dish. Both were well cooked and presented. The restaurant itself has lovely decor and the whole feel is that you are somewhere special, without paying outrageous prices to be there! I'd really recommend this for your evening meal.More

Wonderful place to eat. Small, intimate, fantastic food and nice wine selection. Great service and attention to detail. I am going to mention the food again because it is that great. We savored every bite.

Had a fantastic meal. Chef happy to provide lactose free meal for me. Although a small restaurant it has a great vibe

An excellent meal with beautiful good food.Real food,all freshly cooked and very friendly attentive service.
