Dine At The Waterside Hotel

Dune Restaurant & Bar

Overlooking The Waterside’s private gardens, with uninterrupted views across the beach and along the Ayrshire coastline, Dunes offers relaxed coastal dining in a truly special setting. From breakfast with a sea view and leisurely lunches to sunset cocktails on the veranda and indulgent evening dining, it’s a space designed to be enjoyed throughout the day.

SimpsInns Executive Chef Ewan McAllister has created menus that showcase the very best of Scottish produce, complemented by global influences and a contemporary touch. From breakfast through to dinner, the emphasis is firmly on quality – carefully sourced ingredients, generous flavours and beautifully presented dishes that combine familiar favourites with something a little more distinctive.

And with the beach just beyond the gardens and views stretching across the Firth of Clyde towards Arran, dining at Dunes is as much about the setting as it is the food.
