We had an amazing meal at the back street. The menu is fantastic, I wanted to order everything! Lovely service from staff too. I will be back very soon!

  If you’re visiting Dumfries then give this restaurant a go!

I recently visited this restaurant with my husband. We were welcomed by a very well dressed waitress. She was... read more extremely polite and showed us our table for the evening.

We had a lovely view out the window and were given a jug of water for the table. It took us a while to decide what to order because the menu has such a great range of food options. There really is something for everyone whether you’re vegan/vegetarian/gluten or dairy free.
I had the scotch egg to start and would love to know how the chef gets the egg to stay so runny. A true watering mouth moment.

For my mains I had the kiev as I’ve heard from many colleagues that this is the best kiev in town. It was cooked to perfection and comes with a side of macaroni cheese - DELICIOUS!

Dessert I went for the brownie because again so many people have recommended this to me. It DID NOT DISAPPOINT !

The wine menu is also excellent with a good selection. I had the picpoul de pinet which was very reasonably priced and we enjoyed this along with a few cheeky cocktails.

Overall a beautiful restaurant and our new local!

  Visited the Backstreet restaurant again last week and yet again had another very good meal, had brie to start followed by chicken Kyiv and both were cooked to perfection, restaurant... read more was very busy for a Wednesday night, staff very attentive and we had a great experience, no wonder this place is the best in Dumfries

  We ate at the Back Street midweek getting a break from the kids and it was fantastic. Really efficient, attentive service and the food was probably some of the best... read more I've had in Dumfries. The strawberry daiquiri as well was delicious. My husband ordered the back street stack burger which came with a fried chicken fillet, seriously they should consider selling that alone as a dish in mini fillet form because it was just sublime. My mac and cheese was hands down the best I've had eating out.

Will definitely be back for a visit again soon.

  Great place with delicious food, I had the sea bass followed by the chocolate fondant. LOVELY cocktails and great service, a real treat for Dumfries!

  Went to the back street for my birthday. Was great! Great service, great food, can’t complain! Quite large portions. Struggled to finish a starter and Main. Scotch egg, chicken Kiev,... read more chunky chips and macaroni all excellent! Would highly recommend!

  Have been twice now with my partner and will definitely be back another time. First visit was for dinner and we both enjoyed it, while we recently went for Sunday... read more lunch. My portion of mussels and clams was fantastic and my partner enjoyed her Sunday roast - even if I did steal her cauliflower cheese.

  I was trying to find adequate wording that would express how much I enjoyed my burger. I realised that being a big fan of Gordon Ramsay and a follower of... read more all his YouTube cooking videos the best way I could sum up my experience would be this:
Ramsay would be proud.
Requested the burger a very specific way & it was delivered to me matching my description to the very tomato.
Can’t speak highly enough of the overall experience, must be tough operating a restaurant during covid but the place was spotless, all of the servers wearing PPE & following all guidelines.
If you are from Dumfries, holidaying there or just passing through - as I was - I 100% recommend dining here.

  Absolutely delicious from start to finish. Scotch egg with runny yolk was fabulous. Service was excellent from Michelle and Katie. Thank you. Great little place.

Wow. What an amazing find and why isn’t this place number 1 to eat in Dumfries!?!

Took my Nana (89 year old doonhammer) and Girlfriend here (we travelled from London).

Place is Covid safe, all courses were fantastic and the waiting staff were lovely.

Will visit again the next time I am in Dumfries.
