Brodie's

Dumfries & Galloway


Just off the central square, this has a comfortably modern interior and handsomely presented fare that features seafood, lamb and vegetarian options, with some fusion touches. While there are no wow moments, it's very competently done and reliably satisfying. Take a seat with a drink in the lounge area while your meal's prepared; several wines are available by the glass.
