The Boathouse - Dumfries

We’re really impressed with the quality of food the homemade vegan haggis is delicious and the tofu scramble isn’t trying to be scrambled eggs, it’s just really well cooked, really well seasoned. The cafe is lovely and feels bustling but not busy. Lovely, attentive staff.

Updated May 2022 They are now open Mondays. If you want to eat inside best to book as they get busy. New menu spring 2022, still got the pancakes, a full vegan cooked breakfast, vegan options for various things, chunky sandwiches, and vegan cheesecake. Dog friendly outside, and 1 table inside is allowed to have dog there. Previous review: Visited with friends, and their menu had a lot to choose from. I opted for the buddha bowl and it comes with bread with vegan spread. Others had the salad bowl and something else. The salad and buddha bowls were made up of lots of different things, and was really pleased to see tofu on the menu! Will need to go back to try more of the menu, including the cakes. Light and airy space indoors (too hot to eat outdoors with hayfever sufferer). Updated from previous review on 2021 07 22

We visited on a sunny crisp morning for brunch. I had the vegan sausage and tofu sandwich. The sandwich was a little soggy with the tofu addition but lots of choice. Enjoyed the vegan scone !

Pretty much anything on the menu can be made vegan! Had delicious pancakes and maple syrup, oat milk dirty chai latte sooo good Updated from previous review on 2021-10-09

This is one of my favourite places to visit when I come home. It 's perfect for any occasion and their food is unreal. I can highly recommend their Big Greenhouse sharing board which I usually eat by myself because it 's too good to share. I also recently tried their jackfruit bacon which was immense and I 'll be back soon for a 'bacon ' sandwich. The staff are all really lovely and helpful so this gets a big thumbs up from me!
