Third time's a charm – Michelin status retained for The Globe Inn: A culinary gem in the heart of Dumfries
Less than two hours away from Scotland’s central belt in the historic town of Dumfries, nestled amidst cobbled streets and a rich tapestry of history, lies The Globe Inn – a culinary haven where the spirit of Robert Burns intertwines with modern gastronomic artistry.
More than just a pub, The Globe Inn is a destination, an experience, and a testament to the power of passion, quality, and a commitment to showcasing the best of Scotland's larder.
And its remarkable menu and creativity earned it a third Michelin listing at a prestigious awards ceremony in Glasgow this month, following up on its 2022 and 2024 successes.
“We are incredibly proud and humbled to be recognised by the MICHELIN Guide for the third time,” said Jonathan Brett, Head of Cuisine, Annandale Distillery Group. “This continued recognition is a testament to the unwavering passion, dedication, and talent of our entire team, from the chefs in the kitchen to the front-of-house staff who create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We are driven by a desire to provide our guests with an unforgettable dining experience, and this accolade inspires us to continue pushing the boundaries of culinary creativity.”
Award-winning

Chef Cameron’s passion for his craft is palpable in every dish he creates. His innovative approach to cooking, combined with a deep respect for local ingredients, has resulted in a menu that is both exciting and refined.
