From the outside doesn't look very much, however once inside you could tell it's a local favourite it was busy. Starters were stand your spoon up potato and leek with proper chunks of potato. Main course was baked potato with steak mince. Again great food traditional steak mince in a tasty thick gravy. Forget Subway, KFC and McDonald's, this was traditional good Scottish stick to your ribs food, perfect for a cold breezy day. Happy to return anytime in Ayr.

Helen's restaurant was an excellent place to eat. I ordered the 9 piece breakfast where you order 9 of whatever you want. The food was cooked fresh & hot, the staff were pleasant and on top of their game, and it's a quaint cheap & cheerful place for a quick snack or a 3 course meal. Awesome stuff.

Superb wee restaurant. Quite a quirky location stuck down a wee lane BUT Absolute diamond of a find. Got to say one of the best cooked breakfasts you will find anywhere in Scotland.Will definitely return and would highly recommend to anybody who is visiting Ayr.The service is excellent, the food is 10/10, and the prices are incredibly reasonable.The only thing I would make you aware of is take cash. The day we were there it was cash only, though I'm not sure if that was a normal thing or not.

Lovely place to eat. Got recommended to come here by the staff at Keepsake in Ayr. Very dog friendly, both dogs had some chicken from the staff which they wolfed down. Lentil soup was tasty and chunky. Jacket potatoes had plenty of filling in it. I would recommend this.
