Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Castle Douglas

I booked The Butchershop as a treat for my partners Birthday and it did not disappoint whatsoever. The Decor and atmosphere was perfect for a special occasion and the wait staff really made it feel like it was fine dining. They also had a Birthday card waiting for our arrival on the table, really nice touch. The waitress was very informative about the meats available and even offered to show us the cuts! We went for the full 3 courses and Padron peppers with a bottle of red, the wine was so so good. I started with the philly cheese steak spring rolls and they were just amazing, i’ve never had a starter like it before which is always great to try something new. My partners started with the scallops and she said it was the best starter she’s ever had which really saying something! Also 5 scallops? Crazy, most places only give you like two or 3 so that was great! Onto mains we had a chateaubriand cooked medium, Mac and cheese and Chips, I went for peppercorn sauce and my partner had garlic butter with hers, Steak cooked to perfection. Chips were incredible, crispy soft and fluffy, best chips ever. Mac and cheese was great too. Pudding was a Bannoffee sundae. Two words - Oh Aye. Honestly can’t fault the pudding at all, if I could pick one food to be stuck with on a desert island it would be that. Dessert island. This couldn’t been more perfect to help make my partners Birthday that bit more special. Thank you so much to everyone at Butchershop for an amazing night, especially our lovely waitress and the nice host man.

Second time visiting Number 16 and it yet again did not disappoint. Such a relaxed atmosphere created for a place thats serving some of the most delicious food out there. Festive menu offered great variety for all. Cooked to perfection. Service was superb. All around great place for a special occasion. Will be back soon.

My family just had Christmas dinner in The Prancing Stag. The environment, service especially the food are absolutely amazing. Strong recommend. Had a wonderful time.

First ever visit, pre gig dinner and wasn't disappointed. My ribeye was huge and cooked to perfection for my requirements. Good choice of wine and drinks in general. The service was exceptional. It was quiet, which actually suited us, but surprised as the quality of food was so good. Would return again to try the ribs and chicken which my friend said were delicious!

Seated promptly, staff professional and food was piping hot, and tasted great!
