The Kirkmichael Arms, 2025 MICHELIN GUIDE new entry.

We visited tonight whilst staying locally and thought the food, drinks and service were all excellent! Seems like the pub has recently reopened under new hands and these guys definitely know what they’re doing! Wish them every success and will be back 😃

An absolutely superb meal and evening. We came with a group of 20 to have the sharing menu and we were SPOILT! The quality of every single plate was exceptional and the amount we had was generous. There was not a single hungry person in our group. The vegetarians and gluten free folks of our group were well catered to and the service was kind and accommodating to our (at times) chaotic group. We gave our chefs and waiters a well deserved round of applause. Everything was seamless and well-orchestrated.

We came across the Kirkmichael Arms whilst passing through Kirkmichael and what a hidden gem it turned out to be. The food was incredible, we were spoiled for choice with the thoughtfully put together high quality meals, which were extremely tasty and beautifully presented. The staff were so warm and welcoming, with myself my husband and our 6 year old daughter. Lovely children's menu also, with little activities and crayons provided. Lovely atmosphere and decor, even down to the lighting, it was just a lovely place to be, a real treat all round. We look forward to going back.

Four of us dined Sunday. Based on a recommendation and what a recommendation it was . The food was excellent, well presented, well seasoned. Good potion size. Excellent Empanadas, truffle mushrooms, trout was superb, lemon sole massive. If you like lovely food you should seriously think of going here.

Stumbled upon this place from looking on Google maps for a restaurant. I gave them a call 30 mins prior and we got a table straight away. Group of 5 lads. Can't remember the guys name but gave us a nice welcome and showed us through the menus. Excellent food. In fact definitely the best venison pie I've ever had. Really nice atmosphere. Not overpriced! Just simply great food! Would highly recommend!

We at lunch here for my birthday and we had a fantastic time. The food was very good indeed and the staff were very friendly and knowledgable. If steak is on the specials board when you go, I would highly recommend you get it! 😭!

4 of us had lunch here for the first time, we received a warm welcome by a lovely waitress , the menu was very impressive , the choices of drinks as-well , the service was excellent , food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, I could have licked my plate 🍽️ all of our plates were empty lol, sauces and the leek dish served with the trout mmmm 😋 can’t wait till next time! Chef Justin came to speak to us and we thanked him personally, keep up this standard and wishing y’all the very best for 2025.

Definitely a place worth visiting, South ayrshire has definitely been lacking a pub with decent food and the recent upgrade here is a welcome addition to the food scene in South ayrshire, coupled with extremely good service is definitely worth the drive, id recommend the wild mushroom tart with fungi from the local forests when in season off course, there is great wine pairings available with each dish. Comfortable restaurant and cozy bar next door, well done guys keep up the good work, id recommend booking because this place will be busy!
