New eateries open to boost Ayr dining scene

Three new eateries in Ayr are offering customers a slice of Europe with their fresh and authentic recipes.

Italian restaurant Aldente on Prestwick Road; Greek takeaway Gyros and new dessert parlour Whipp & Waffle, both on Ayr’s Sandgate, are all receiving rave reviews – keeping locals going back for more.

Authentic Italian dishes are what Aldente do best, providing pizzas - including the ever-controversial Hawaiian of ham and pineapple – and classic pastas, such as lasagne and carbonara.

Meanwhile, Ayr’s new Greek takeaway Gyros has foodies craving a bit of the Mediterranean.

The popular food item, which the takeaway is named after - a classic Greek meal of seasoned meat served in a pita bread with salad - is, of course, on the menu, joining souvlakis, burgers and fresh homemade hummus and tzatziki.

Gyros are fast becoming popular with their ‘special Greek boxes’ - which allow you to try a little bit of everything.

Whipp & Waffle, who have taken over the unit where newsagent Sandgate News occupied for 80 years, serve up just what they say on the tin - freshlymade waffles.

Also on the menu are churros, cookie doughs, milkshakes, sundaes and icecream cones.
