This Christmas, move beyond the ordinary and gift an experience that blends Scotland’s profound history with its most exciting contemporary cuisine.
Nestled in the heart of Dumfries, The Globe Inn has stood proudly for over 415 years, its stone walls steeped in the poetry and passion of Robert Burns. It was the National Bard's cherished “Howff”—his favourite haunt—and today, following a sympathetic and inspired restoration, it is home to 1610 at The Globe Inn, a multi-award-winning, Michelin-listed casual fine dining restaurant, hailed as one of Scotland's Best Eating Experiences.
Where poetry meets plating
The magic of 1610 begins with its unique setting. Dining here is to sit in a space where history echoes, yet the cuisine is firmly rooted in the modern era. Led by the exceptional Head Chef Fraser Cameron, the kitchen is a testament to the finest Scottish produce. Chef Fraser, who honed his craft in prestigious establishments including London’s The Ritz and Oxford’s Le Manoir, brings a refined technique and a playful, innovative touch to every plate.
His menu is a dynamic showcase of the very best local and Scottish ingredients, each dish designed to surprise and delight. This is casual fine dining elevated—a journey of unique twists and intense flavours that has earned 1610 its place among the most celebrated dining spots in the country.
To gift a meal here is to offer a true sensory experience, where heritage and gastronomy achieve a perfect, unforgettable harmony.
