This is the only decent restaurant in Girvan so it was busy on a Friday night ! Dishes were all good and overall priced reasonably! We were £110 for 2 x 3 courses and bottle of wine. Would definitely return if in Girvan, but unlikely, Girvan looking rather undown with empty shops.

We’ve noticed this place a few times whilst up visiting family, so we was walking past and looked at the menus !!! A 3 course kids meal for £10 was a deal not to be missed , we made a 6:30 reservation, but due to other matters we had to go early hoping they could accommodate us, they had no problems with this and we were seated , the food was remarkably good I loved the pate ….the special of the day was amazing…. I urge anyone visiting girvan to take time and eat here …..

Highly recommend this place. Lovely staff, delicious food, (so hard to choose as the whole menu was excellent), well priced and a truly convivial atmosphere. Will definitely go there again when next in the area.

More information

Austins has built a word-of-mouth reputation beyond Girvan — guests occasionally travel from Turnberry and further afield specifically for the kitchen’s steaks and seafood. The kitchen’s portions and desserts inspire multiple second visits from the same diners, and the team are known to quietly adapt dishes for dietary needs, making it a small-town spot with big culinary pull.
