Eating out in rural Scotland is not easy if your're interested in fresh food made from healthy ingredients - the southwest of Scotland is blessed by one or two excellent eating places, among them Cafe Cree, whose lunches would not be out of place or quality beside some metropolitan outlets in Edinburgh or Glasgow. It takes a lot of nerve to strike out for high quality and a distinctive menu in such a small town - their loyalty to local suppliers is admirable and the food doesn't suffer from this policy - far from it, it shows what can be done without recourse to ingredients flown thousands of miles.

A few years ago, this was your typical small-town greasy spoon caff, the air was thick with smoke and it really wasn't the attractive, appetising place it is now, with the warm welcome from Jan and Chris. They put their heart and soul into Cafe Cree and it shows, with locals coming back time and time again, even if it's just for a take-away cappucino and scone. Great work and long may they continue! Bobbie and Peter, Newton Stewart

I live in the town in which Cafe Cree is situated and i can tell you its such a delight to get a change from the usual "chips and cheese" or "chicken mayo baguettes" typical of the towns cafes. The soups are quite different from what i would normally try, and being quite young, I'm usually wondering what they are going to taste like! But each time I do try them (out of curiousity and assurance they are divine), I'm left wanting more! As for the sandwiches, made on locally produced bread, the fillings are gorgeous, not in the least bit basic, but with fresh food and the service combined with this great food makes me want to come back again every time. Cafe Cree inspires me to try different foods and for that, thank you!

I've visited Newton Stewart twice in the last year, including once a cycle trip. The first time, I just happened on Cafe Cree and was immediately impressed with their ability to serve excellent organic food in a relaxed atmosphere and make everyone feel at home. I returned on my cycling trip and I don't know whether it was the food, the humour or the relaxation but afterwards my pedals were certainly moving faster than when I arrived! Roll on next time.

Recommended to us by two German tourists in the loal car park, we found Cafe Cree and discovered a treasure. The food was marvelous. all fresh and full of flavour with a menu that was evocative and full of tempting dishes which you would normslly associate with some of the top class restaurants. What a delightful change from pie and chips or beans on toast !! Everything is top quality. From the moment you open the door you are greeted as a human being in need of care and attention,not just as another mouth to feed and cash to put in the register. Cafe Cree should be awarded a well deserved honour the DFC - for Deightfully Fine Cooking. Richard W. Denton Manchester

Jan and Chris left a fairly comfortable life in Manchester and moved up to Scotland in order to open Café Cree. It was a risk, but it was something they dreamt of doing due to their joint passion for food and the idea of bringing that passion to other people by opening a café. It seems this risk paid off and the fact that the café was started out of love shows through in the end results. In a time when so many high street cafés sell greasy, unhealthy, tasteless food, when even pubs seem so often to feature predictable menus of meals bought in wholesale and reheated, and meals eaten out can leave you wondering why you shelled out good cash for pretty average fare which you could have made better at home yourself, Café Cree is something of an oasis and their “no chips” policy is a good indication of this. What they offer instead is an interesting range of fresh food made from good quality ingredients and prepared and cooked on site. The food is fresh and tasty and reminds you how it can be a pleasure to go out to eat and have something tasty which you wouldn’t have made yourself, and it’s great to see a mix of dishes from all round the world in tandem with the home grown cuisine that it’s so easy to pass over and forget. All of this is set in an environment which is at the same time both airy and light and cosy. The décor is pleasing and relaxing and they have paintings from local artists on the walls and the feel of the place is of a friendly welcoming family café. Plus, Jan is always happy to spend time telling customers about the food, dishes and the thinking which lies behind what they do. I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I have spent in the Café Cree and would recommend anyone who enjoys great food in a really nice setting to follow suit and pop in when in Newton Stewart….

Freshly prepared meals, using the best local and Fairtrade products. Excellent quality and flavoursome foods - I highly recommend a visit. A warm welcome and attentive service during each of my three visits to cafe cree this week kept me returning again and again!
