"Lovely atmosphere, eating and browsing books what could be nicer? Great staff who explained the menu. The soup choice was brilliant and my husband and I enjoyed two different ones with the homemade sausage rolls ... delicious and very filling! Couldn't resist the huge selection of cakes though and the staff member had a great memory to recite what they all were. Again my willpower failed me and I had two boxed up to eat later. I'm so glad I did as they were absolutely scrummy. Will definitely make ReadingLasses my go to destination next time I'm in the area."

Visited for lunch they are dog friendly which is great. The home made soups were delightful and the coffee they serve was excellent.

I visited this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation while visiting the area. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was good, and they even allow dogs. They have an incredible variety of cakes to choose from. I decided on a peanut buttercream and Nutella sponge cake, which was hands down the best cake I've ever had.

We visited this restaurant which also doubles as a charming bookstore, complete with cozy nooks and crannies to relax and read in. The staff was friendly and well-informed, and they offered a delightful selection of homemade cakes. We tried the nourish bowl, a delicious combination of avocado, butternut squash, falafel, grains, hummus, and more. It was a fantastic experience that we highly recommend trying. View menu

Brilliant little coffee shop in the centre of Wigtown serving the best home baking in the area. Wigtown is known for its bookshops and ReadingLasses is just one of many interesting establishments selling books and food. The cakes are particularly memorable and the choice unbelievable. The owner is the exceptional baker we were told and most definitely lives up to her reputation. Small, homely and welcoming. Wigtown has so much to offer and this may be up there with the very best.

Delicious food. Lovely waiter staff. I chose the coffee brownie and found it to be way too sweet for my taste. So I politely apologised for returning it and asked if I might swap it for a cake I would definitely like. The manageress told me I couldn't. When we paid the bill the manageress told us the cost of the brownie had been removed from the bill. So I wasn't allowed to swap for a cake I liked and pay for it; I missed out on the sweet treat after my lunch I'd looked forward too; I was disgruntled. Mmm

"Myself and my partner where just outside of portpatrick yesterday and wondered about somewhere to have lunch, it was about 12.30pm on a scorching hot Bank holiday Sunday. We hadn’t actually planned to go there to start with but thought why not. I saw on Facebook Connors Restaurant had just uploaded a Facebook post about stopping there for a choice of 2 lovely menus and a cheeky gin, sounded perfect! The post had went up about 15 mins before we arrived, so I assumed they must be looking to take some tables. I walked down and there where 2 tables taken outside, and 1 table inside. I asked if I could get a table for 2 outside if possible and I was told no they had been reserved and I thought okay but before I could even open my mouth again she said all tables inside where also reserved that they where fully booked. There was 1 table inside, other wise it was pretty empty. Ok no problem, we found somewhere else so no big deal, after about 2 hours spent having food and wondering around we went back to the car (parked just up from Connors restaurant) and I noticed again there was only the 1 table outside, and no one at the others. I’m maybe wrong but I felt like this was odd, the inside didn’t look like it was “fully booked” either. It actually looked a little dead compared to everywhere else. This has also happened to my friends a couple of times too they’ve went in and the place has been stone dead but got turned away because of the excuse of being fully booked. Just felt like it was not quite right. Sorry I never usually write reviews but felt like I had to get my point across on this one. We would love to dine here and hopefully will in the future."
