the restaurant

Fouters is a landmark in Ayr, with over 30 years of business as a real find for 'foodies'. The basement location, simple furnishings and cosy tables belie the quality of food on offer combined with friendly attentive service. All dishes are freshly and skillfully cooked to order.

“A delightful, informal restaurant where the use of fresh local produce is exemplary. Skillful Scottish cuisine.”

A quiet, yet bustling, friendly atmosphere makes one feel like a `regular'. Food is modelled on the best of traditional British and French ethics of simplicity married to the freshest of ingredients. With skillful cooking and the best produce from all around Scotland, it is no wonder that Fouters has won many awards over the years.

We passionately believe in our food at Fouters. We also know that food alone is not the only reason why people enjoy a memorable dining experience so it's important to us that everything is done right and to the best of our ability. You need to feel good to enjoy a great dining experience to the full and we are sure that our delightful, informal, stylish yet easy friendly atmosphere and ambience will help make your whole dining experience complete.

We believe in our classic Scottish culinary product – complex twists and novelties too often distract from the final dish so we tend to avoid them. And our restaurant is all about making people welcome, comfortable and feeling at ease.

If you are coming to dine with us – we do encourage you to book dinner in advance, as the restaurant is so popular with local discerning diners!

Exciting food – good wine - great atmosphere!
