"This was a really disappointing experience. There are two main issues- the first is choice, the second is quality. In terms of choice, the menu has only a few hot items, but then a number of ‘specials’ and ‘over-65 specials’. Bizarrely, there are things on the over-65 specials which are not available for under-65s to buy. I am used to seeing special smaller portions at a lower price, but not a whole entirely separate menu only available to over-65s. In terms of quality, absolutely everything is straight out of the freezer into a deep fat fryer. I paid £9.95 for a ‘posh fish finger sandwich’. I expected the ‘posh’ to mean that these would be thick, quality fish fingers, but instead I got three of the cheapest fish fingers from the freezer aisle at Iceland. As you probably in know, these disappear to nothing once they are deep fried, meaning that my fish finger sandwich was pretty tasteless. Overall, there is nothing absolutely terrible about my experience here, but you’re paying prices you’d expect in a natty cafe and eating really unimpressive food."

Lovely coffee and I am something of a connoisseur, excellent food, accommodated my young son with a pensioner special fish and chips! Lovely local haggis, dog friendly and really nice pleasant staff.

We visited on a very busy Sunday lunch. They’re very helpful regarding gluten free options. I had Haggis Loaded Fries with a Peppercorn Sauce, gorgeous. My wife Omlette and chips. Great cakes too. I’d really recommend this friendly cafe.

We eat in the Belfry regularly and are never disappointed. Recently we have tried some of the new specials which have been excellent. The toasted breakfast scone with bacon and scrambled egg was great and the size of the loaded chips with cheese, haggis and peppercorn sauce was amazing

Absolutely lovely wee cafe. Staff are young and friendly. Menu is simple, but check out the specials board for more complex dishes. Food was made quickly and efficiently and tasted delicious. We had a variety of dishes, a toasty, scampi, veggie burger, an omelette. All were made really well and so tasty with beautiful fresh salad accompaniments. Coffee was great, cakes and desserts looked fab although we were stuffed and couldn't manage them. It was really busy too, always a good sign. View menu

Service fine. We both ordered soup and a sandwich. Worst soup and sandwich we’ve ever had. Broccoli and Stilton soup was that thick you could stand the spoon in it and definitely not hot enough. Sandwich dry and tasteless and hubbys coronation chicken filler was so salty he couldn’t eat it (which is not like him to leave food! When I went to pay I mentioned the salty indelible sandwich and all I got was “sorry that’ll be £19 please”… Over priced for what we got and not a great experience. Unfortunately we won’t be back.

Visited on the day of the Kirkcudbright Tattoo, it was busy inside so we sat outside with our wee dog. We ordered the local burger it came with salad and chips and it was absolutely delicious, piping hot served on a proper morning roll with lovely crisp fresh salad and coleslaw, it was presented well and I was impressed. Service was friendly and when there was a black cloud overhead with a spit of rain we were offered the last table inside, we persevered outside the sun came back out and it a beautiful hot day (it is Scotland after all) When we are back in the area we will definitely visit again.

"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."
