We had the mussels and the pate to start, both were beautifully presented and delicious. For mains we had the supreme of chicken with a side of dauphinois potatoes and... read more the seafood linguine, the chicken was cooked perfectly and I would definitely recommend. According to Emily it was the best seafood linguine she’s had. After that we had the sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie that also made our all time favourites list. Finished up with some cocktails that confirmed they’ve got some great drink slingers behind the bar!

  One of the best meals we’ve ever had. We were a group of 24 celebrating a wedding. The food was amazing. Not a huge choice of menu but what we... read more had was absolutely amazing and our whole group agreed. Service was fab and the staff were lovely and very attentive. Can’t wait to go back! Well done The Back Street!!!

  I heard good things about this restaurant before making the journey to dine with a friend. I started off with the Breaded Brie which were overcooked and hollow. Then had... read more the “famous” chicken Kiev, there’s nothing famous about it. It was tough with the tiniest bit of tasteless garlic butter in about a 3rd of the whole thing. On the plus side of it all, the home made sticky toffee pudding was to die for and the service was ok. But unfortunately, I probably won’t be making the trip again.

  I recently visited the back street with a friend after telling them all about my favourite restaurant. The scotch egg, brilliant as always. I had the chicken kiev for main... read more which is served with the tastiest macaroni. Pudding we both had the brownie. I enjoyed an espresso martini and my friend a porn star martini made by the friendliest bar staff.

Super as always
Thank you Team Back Strest

  Go eat here.. Just go.. stop reading pretentious reviews and go eat. Not much else I can say to drive the praise home.

  Never disappointed, as the service & quality is always top notch. Whether it’s a special occasion, or in our case, we just wanted a pleasant meal.

  went out with the family four our Christmas dinner. Had the pork croquette followed by the venison which was melt in your mouth tender. Another delicious meal! Will be returning... read more ASAP

  You wont be disappointed after a visit to the back street we certainly weren't.
On a very busy Wednesday night not a table spare the service was outstanding and... read more the food was also outstanding. My Scothern egg was superb followed by lamb and cottage pie which were cooked to perfection, my wife's chicken kyiv was also faultless.
Our lemon possets finished off a terrific meal. On last night's visit you must book.

  First time back in a while for a reunion dinner with some friends. Glad to see such a lovely team of staff bringing smiles to everyone in the room. Hands... read more down the best carpaccio I’ve had followed by a 10-10 venison. My vegetarian friend Laura was also very impressed by their vegetarian options.

  I eat here regularly . It is always excellent. The 5 course Italian taster menu has just added an extra level of quality. Each course was wonderful with subtle flavours... read more all freshly made. The crab raviolo was exceptional. A most enjoyable evening of excellent food and service.
I will book in for it again and am looking forward to when he chooses another theme in 5 weeks. 5 stars for 5 at William's as good as 6 at Nico's

  Wonderful food, clever, interesting and classic. This really is worth a visit - or more than one visit as the menu is diverse and specials nights are great value.

  Had a lovely night last night. Good food well presented and great staff. Made the night go with no problems. Many thanks.

  We were travelling to Gatehouse of Fleet from Aberdeen for the wedding and decided to stop by Dumfries to have some food. A quick search on Google and the Back... read more Street was booked for 17.00

I wasn't too keen on the decor inside but 5 stars for the amazing food. Honestly, top class restaurant quality, quick service and very reasonable prices.

We all (3 of us) had a 3-course meal and nothing was left on the plates. Absolute perfection!

Will not hesitate for one second to visit again if I'm ever in Dumfries.

  Excellent Service from all staff. Waitresses, Bar Staff and Both Chefs. Had the Scoth Egg and Chicken Kiev. Both where delicious. Every one in the party cleared there plates so... read more tells that the food was tasty and that they all enjoyed it. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Get yourselves booked in and enjoy the food and service for yourself.

  I have been to the Backstreet several times at night and have enjoyed a good cross section of the menu so I decided to try Sunday lunch - of course... read more I went for the roast beef! I missed the starter and thought main and sweet and I was not disappointed - beef can be hit or miss but this was superb very tender and full of flavour (aparently slow cooked overnight!) and the cauliflower cheese side was ridiculous...I'm not too keen on cauliflower but this was delicious...oh and first class roast potatoes. Definately a Sunday option again...maybe next week!
