The Grapes - Dumfries Galloway

Absolute gem. Great attention to detail in well curated small plates. Understated establishment where the food is forward. Wine and cocktail list superb. Service a terrific blend of friendly and professional. Not a touristy dining experience. Gourmand’s delight.

Just passing by and decided to stop for dinner. Excellent food at very reasonable prices and staff very friendly.

Absolutely fantastic meal and my son loved his great size portion of macaroni cheese The lasagna is amazing and the deserts just wow Thank god we never drove past and will deffo. Is it again

Me and my fiancee were travelling back from a long day exploring and searched for places to eat... we found this place and googled the reviews and everything looked good so we went in. After ordering some drinks we sat down. The Worthingtons I had was perfect to be fair... but that was the one and only positive about the whole experience. We were then given some dirty menus to look through while being entertained by a TV in the corner showing some show about farming. Looking through the really random choice of food, we decided on a chicken burger and some starters to share. We were then given some greasy cutlery and waited for about 10 minutes for the food. The burger roll was VERY stale. The duck spring rolls were so sloppy on the inside and very hard on the outside like they had been cooked a few times the same situation with the deep fried haggis balls. While discovering all of this... we were still being entertained by the same farming show on the TV which had now started to show a scene of a cow giving birth... all round hilarious experience that cost us £30. I would avoid this restaurant and pop to tesco instead if hungry.

Second visit to the grapes and the food was delicious both times. The landlord and landlady are brilliant really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The homemade sweets are to die for.
