Globe Inn in Dumfries & Galloway

Absolutely fantastic experience. Service, food and drinks were amazing. No where in D&G comes close to this place. Every dish that we were presented with looked and tasted delicious. A lovely touch for the chef to come out to chat to diners. A guy full of character who obviously puts his creative nature in to his cookery. Look forward to our next visit.

Great place for the whisky lovers. We walked by and found it by total accident. Amazing atmosphere, nice whisky and good banter. Felt like we travelled back in time. Will come back next time we are in town.

Spectacularly good food, beautifully presented and served by helpful, well informed staff. Don't forget to ask Oliver for recommendations on wines to compliment what's being served.

The last time we visited The Globe Inn we took visitors there as it was the old pub were Robbie Burns used to drink. So when we were told we were going there for a fine dining taster experience, we didnt know what to expect.What a change, The snug area still remains but what was the main bar area is now a refurbished restaurant, with a fine dining menu , served by staff wearing gloves. To complement the taster menu there is also an optional whisky taster where each glass is picked , served, .its origin and how it will complement the food course is explained to you as it is served.Overall it was a good evening , the staff were attentive and polite, the food was very well presented and full of flavours. We did feel our table was a little to close, even without Covid, to those either side of us and the chairs even with cushions started to feel slightly uncomfortable nearer the end of the evening, but these things didn't detract to much from the overall enjoyment.

Delicious food, very attentive service, and lovely surroundings. Our first visit; we will definitely be back. Well done all.

Ambience is pleasant, service attentive, knowledgeable and pleasantly efficient. Our party had one starter, duck I think, which disappeared quickly, the beef and venison for mains, both well up to the anticipated standard, a couple of cheeseboards and a chocolate and raspberry desert. The cheese selection was excellent and the desert delicious.You certainly don't need elasticated waistbands to dine here, we're more used to Italian, Indian or traditional menus, but this was a very enjoyable and novel experience. I'm pleased Dumfries has found a space for this kind of restaurant where you can taste the type of food that's been the staple of most of the competitive cookery shows on TV for years.It's undoubtedly popular, the place was full on the night we were there and from reputation, on most other nights too. Much, much more than a gastropub.

Best meal we have had I years!

Simply brilliant. Everything from the food, the drinks, and the service to the welcoming environment, is just breathtaking. I can't wait to go back!

We went for an amazing dinner at the Globe Inn. The food was outstanding, bursting with unique and fresh flavours. Presentation was out of this world. Staff were professional and friendly, our waitress Lisa was brilliant. The chef came out to greet everyone after the meal. A truly fantastic experience - cannot wait to go again.

Reviews from all 3 of our visits (Finally getting around to posting);21st Sep 2019Myself and my partner visited The Globe Inn for dinner it was fantastic; the full experience from start to finish was great. Since Annandale distillery have become the new owners the refurbishments have made a huge difference to the atmosphere and the experience. The service was first class and we were attended to throughout the evening. Food was amazing the best food we have had in a long time, and exactly what Dumfries needs, a high-class restaurant in Dumfries designed around eating 3 courses. We had the pork cheek and haggis to start both full for flavour and great portion size. Main course we had the pork wellington each and the pastry was beautiful, dauphinois potato’s lovely and the sauce complemented the dish well. I also had the pecan tart which was a lovely end to the meal and the apple trifle was very sweet but exactly what my partner was looking for and thought it was delicious.Overall fantastic experience would highly recommend and can’t wait to try the lunch menu.19th Oct 2019After having a fantastic meal at the globe for dinner myself and my partner returned for lunch. We had the hand pressed burger and the red pesto and parmesan macaroni both lovely, really enjoyed it. We had read previous comments about the macaroni being not like traditional mac and cheese and people being disappointed but that’s because it’s not what it is. The menu clearly started it was red pesto and the macaroni is just the name of the pasta. Also saw people’s comments about the chips. We felt the chips were amazing lovely to see a restaurant providing handmade chips rather than frozen. Again, overall food was delicious, warm and well-presented and service was amazing.15th Dec 2019Myself and my partner had to come try the new Christmas menu having visited twice previously. Had the hand pressed burger and savoury scone with turkey filling. Again, was not disappointed food was outstanding, exactly what we were looking for at a great price. Lovely fresh food, warm, well presenting and beautiful hand cut chips. Can’t wait for try the new menu in the new year.
