So, The Doonhamer Bistro Dumfries is a little cafe that has everything from panini's to Mac & cheese and even freak shakes that look TDF. Myself and my sisters have been going to the Doonhamer for yeeeears - it's a bit of a local treasure in Dumfries, and whilst it's changed over the years, it's quality of food and service has remained the same.
Not gunna lie, the Doonhamer do the best hangover food in life. Whenever I'm feeling a bit 'tender', I stick to what I know and love. On Saturday when I visited I ordered a baguette with chicken, peppers and mozzarella which comes with the coleslaw (of gods!!), chips (in a separate bowl too - Thankfully!) and salad.
The baguettes in the Doonhamer are 'proper' baguettes. Soft in the middle, crunchy on the outside. One of my biggest pet peeves is when you order a baguette and a bridge roll arrives - not here! You always get a huge amount of filling which is well made and an abundance of salad and chips.
I had an Irn Bru, but my sister had a Strawberry Milkshake which looks INSANELY good. She gets a milkshake almost everytime we go there because as she says 'they're scrummy' -- yes, she is 29 years old and still says 'scrummy'.
My dinner always costs less than £7 which is an absolute bargain. The staff are always friendly (Hiya Stuart & family!!) and always have a smile (and some hangover banter) for you.
If you're visiting Dumfries, make sure you pop by the Doonhamer. You won't regret it!
