Great meal with friends, lovely staff, nice drinks list. Relaxed feel. Best mussel chowder/ mussel dish I have ever had in my life. Would go back just for that. Some dishes were a bit off base, but on the whole, fantastic value for money.

Excellent food and service at Osso. Tapas style food with a varied choice. Lively atmosphere tonight as well. If we lived closer we’d definitely come back. Too bad they won’t deliver Hogmanay box to Yorkshire!!!

The style is tapas with Mediterranean/Oriental flavours. Might seem fancy but it is the ideal way to serve this food. All the dishes are so tasty, fresh and well balanced, that you want to try as many as possible...so tapas is ideal. Every dish is distinct but no dish clashes with any other. The menu is executed superbly. This is not just the best restaurant in Peebles, its the best in the Borders. So why does it not show at top in TripAdvisor. Well, the top two aren't restaurants at all, they are hotels (including one that lists Macaroni cheese with chips as a main course - that's a canteen!). They don't even show as restaurants on google.

Absolutely fantastic meal at Osso! We were staying at the Hydro and decided to see what other dining options were available in Peebles. Luckily for us we managed to get a table at Osso and what a superb meal we had. Other reviews have suggested the Korean cauliflower and if you dine here you have to try it - it was amazing. All of the dishes we had were great - some really fantastic flavour combinations. The staff were so friendly and welcoming - it really was an evening that will live long in the memory!

This was our third trip in recent years and if possible, it was even better! The menu and service have always been amazing and this time the ox tongue and the crispy Korean cauliflower were outstanding! Every time we order more than we need but so many dishes to try.

The tapas style menu allows you to select a wide range of flavour combinations, we shared nine plates between four of us. With wine the bill was £97.

Three of us visited “Osso” for the first time last night. What a great experience. We had a wide selection of dishes since we have eclectic tastes: meat, fish only and vegetarian. The food came piping hot, it was delicious and the size of the portions was just right. To have such a large range of dishes on the menu could cause problems, but we must have tried eight or nine of the selection and each was delightful. Well done to the chef and all of those working behind the scenes.The pudding was delicious too, and the selection of cheeses was exceptional. Because of current restrictions we could not try the wine list; at present, alcohol can be drunk only outside. However, the wines on the list looked reasonably priced and of a good quality.The two waitresses were professional, knowledgeable about the menu and they helped to make the evening a success.In short, a very good meal and we will be back quite soon.

My brother & his wife bought me & my wife a take away from osso on Sat23rd .The menu looked good & was described as fo 1-2 people.My wife picked the meal up on the Sat morning & put it straight into the fridge for our tea that night.We then opened it up expecting a meal for two how wrong we were the portion sizes were small to say the least this was very disappointing so we phoned my brother just to check what had been ordered he then e mailed Osso to check noting had been left & to check the portion size & received a fairly prompt reply & less than satisfactory reply from them.The portion size would not have fed two people eg: 1 slice of bread for 2 people 3 small chicken portions ,a small dessert ,a small portion of venison only big enough for one My wife was so disappointed that she phoned the the local Italian to order her tea otherwise the two of us would have starved I ended up up having the meal my self.This is very disappointing from a top restaurant & we will certainly not be using them again nor recommending them to any of our friends.

We were in Peebles today and after reading the reviews for Osso and looking at the menu decided to try it. From the outside this place looks nothing more than a local cafe but the food tells otherwise. The Sunday menu had a great choice of dishes. Hubby had the Tamarind Beef Brisket Bao Buns while I chose the Mushroom and Peanut. We also shared a generous portion of the chips cooked in beef dripping. Hubby also tried the Tai Sausage from their specials menu. All dishes were delicious. Would definitely recommend and hope to return in the near future.

Staying in Peebles for a couple of nights - highly recommend Osso !! Chef went above and beyond!! Let him know we were vegan before we arrived and he added salt & pepper tofu to the menu for us. It was so good we ordered an extra portion everything else was amazing too great to see non-vegan restaurants catering for vegans (and not just offering the bog standard falafel burger with salad )

I had a great lunch recently at Osso and would definitely recommend it as a great place to eat in Peebles. All the dishes we ordered were outstanding with the crab and cheese toastie a particular highlight although every dish was tasty, well executed and fairly priced. The restaurant has gone to great efforts to make their customers safe with their Covid policies which includes screens between tables and plenty of hand sanitiser. Service was extremely friendly and efficient from all the waitresses. I would highly recommend this restaurant and as soon as Covid restrictions allow I will be booking in for dinner.

We sat outside on a glorious Saturday lunchtime for a spot of lunch.The table was COVID-prepared before we sat down, which was great.We ordered a few tapas (salted baked potatoes, the cauliflower dish and some triple cooked chips). The cauliflower was very tasty, but a bit on the wet side due to the sauce. Personally, I prefer cauliflower to be crunchy than squishy. That said, the flavours were awesome.The service is fantastic, and the place is reasonably priced considering the quality of the food.Would certainly recommend!

Attempts to achieve Korean, Chinese, Indian, and European resulted in excellent produce being ruined by unnecessary spices and sauces. The Eastern influence was not well done - the pickled cucumber was vinegar only, no sugar and wrong vinegar, the bao bun was a slimy reheated mess. Everything very salty and flavours vied against each other rather than marrying together. Venison way under cooked- blue.If they concentrated on our excellent local produce, it would be an improvement.Fewer Exocet missiles to the pallet would be good.

We ordered 7 dishes between us plus a dessert all for me! Beautifully cooked and flavours were amazing in every dish. My particular favourite was the crab toastie. Boa bun also highly recommended. Very safe and great measures put in place with safety screens between tables. Staff were attentive and engaging. Will definitely be back next year!

Very poor food tonight at Osso.Having read the reviews we were so looking forward to our evening.The restaurant was poorly presented and the floor was extremely dirty.The staff were polite and showed us to our table.The Lady explained that it was a tapas style restaurant and that we should order 2 or 3 plates each. Upon looking at the menu, I thought the price of the dishes were expensive for tapas style portions.However we ordered 7 dishes.The food arrived very quickly, portion sizes were extremely small and not at all what I expected.The quality of the food was very average with the fish dishes being massively overcooked- dry monkfish and Salmon.Cauliflower dish was the the better of the dishes but overall quantity only allowed a forkful of each dish if two were sharing.Dinner only lasted 40 mins,which also tells a story.Avoid like Corona...

Outstanding...Taste sensation!Newly refurbished & serving a tapas style menu, we shared 6 small dishes, if you prefer there are bigger dishes that you don’t need to share. Every dish was outstanding, super tasty, how often do you enjoy 6 dishes that are a taste sensation, we felt very spoiled. Roasted cauliflower Goan curry, we also shared a few small bao buns (mushroom/peanut & octopus), beetroot & watermelon salad, crab toastie & beef dripping chips with garlic mayo (you’ve got to have the chips). There was so much more, we can’t wait to go back. Deserts were also on another level...you can book online or give them a call, if your visiting Peebles you’ve got to treat yourself & visit Osso.

Visited Osso for our first trip out post-lock down. We have been having regular take away (actually deliveries!) throughout the lock down and have really enjoyed Osso at home however it was so good to be back in one of favourite places. Each menu was individual so although not contactless the menu was not used by anyone else. All the staff were friendly and attentive, there had clearly been a lot of thought put in to making sure customers felt safe. Clear privacy screens between the tables meant you felt safe but still had a clear view of the restaurant and could hear the ambient noise - they also made you feel as though your dining experience was very private which was really niceThe new menu was excellent too - the brisket bao buns and parmesan custard were particular favorites and it was great to be able to pick lots of small dishes and share them. Osso is always a great place to relax (Ally's scones are amazing if you just pop in for a coffee), the food is always good and the staff (especially Kirsty) are lovely. Can't wait to visit again.

After reading good reviews and Osso being in the Top 10 Peebles restaurants we booked for last evening - 07.08.20. The restaurant is clean and modern in appearance. COVID 19 screens have been set up between tables (there is a cover charge of £1 per person for COVID-19 adaptations). The waitress was attentive and service acceptable. Attention was given to dietary restrictions. She advised that it was small-plate, tapas style. She also said price reflected portion size. The food was tasty but the portions were very small. As suggested we ordered four different items all of which were snack sized, at best. I wouldn’t recommend eating here if you are hungry it would be exorbitantly expensive.

Lovely little restaurant with interesting take on modern food. Staff were friendly and attentive and there was a good choice of dishes on offer - more an eclectic mix of tapas style fayre but offering ordering flexibility. Restaurant has adapted well to Covid restrictions and felt very clean and safe. Happy that I still felt I was going out for dinner even with a perspex screen round our table. This place has a modern cafe style feel to it, unpretentious and engaging.Have to say the Goan Cauliflower dish was simply amazing! That and the flat bread sharing plate with baba ganoush, humous and some other dip concoctions that were truly scrummy and very moreish.Good choice of wines and drinks on menu and value for good-food money. Wishing this place all the best over next few months as things try and get back to some kind of restaurant normal and we hope to be back some time in the future if down this way again.For info - We booked in advance as through here for weekend, not sure if you’d need to book to get a table or are able to walk in.

You could learn some lessons from Coltmans on provision of light dishes and salads which really hits the spot in warmer months or for elderly people who can’t eat much but want a balanced meal. Great to see ally McGrath’s development from very gamey meals to Michelin guide type mentions but key evolving.

Great flavours, can't fault the cooking of everything and we had a lovely evening. I was very dissapointed with the Venison dish which consisted of two very small discs of loin, half a parsnip and some puree with a side bowl of mince and tatties for 23 pounds. It looked like they didnt have enough so split it between myself and my husband who ordered the same. I did mention it at table check (it was the smallest venison pieces, seriously it was only fit as a starter), I said I was a little dissapointed. Was met with a shrug and the waitress walked away. First time I have felt the need to say something at this level of restaurant but needn't have bothered. Why ask if you don't care for valid feedback? Filled up on friends chips, which were very nice.

Came to Osso for my birthday lunch. Nice restaurant with attentive staff and good service. My partner had the eggy bread sandwich, crispy bacon and fried organic egg for and I had the pork sausage roll. We ordered a portion of chips each, which were chunky and crispy. I think without the chips, however, we would have left quite hungry. Food is delicious but the portions do not justify the price, which I know are locally sourced and organic, pushing the price up. The sausage roll in particular was tiny and although delicious, I was disappointed by its size. Two mouthfuls and it was done. The chips saved the day. Nice as a one off treat but a little too pricey to be a regular visitor.

A group of us chose to meet here because we all have different tastes and want to eat quite different dishes. This has made it a little difficult for us to find places to meet up for lunch but at Osso, because of its very varied and eclectic menu, everyone was happy! Quite a feat. There’s everything from light bites, formal to informal, familiar to things that are unexpected. There’s also a good emphasis on local produce. The interior furnishings are somewhat functional but would pass easily from day to evening service. Service itself was friendly and competent. We enjoyed a rich venison ragout, a traditional fish and chips, tasty soups and sandwiches, spicy chicken shawarma and a range of Mediterranean dips and flat breads. The main disappointment was the quality of the flat breads which were rather tough and chewy, but salads were fresh and flavours good. Added to our list of possible group meal venues!

Having eaten in Coltmans the previous evening, we were keen to see how Osso compared. It was busy and buzzing which was what we would expect on a Friday night. I chose a tasty salmon starter with wasabi and some Halibut to follow. My companion ordered scallops which he enjoyed followed by the halibut. It was cooked to a high standard and served with colourful and capably cooked vegetables. For dessert, I elected to have coffee with some miso fudge, while my partner selected ice-cream. Again, it was perfectly fine if a little forgettable. The miso fudge however was not at all pleasant - obviously an acquired taste which I have yet to acquire. The service was very pleasant despite being almost full capacity. We probably made the wrong meal choices that evening, but it was still a most enjoyable evening.

Had dinner here last Friday - excellent food, as good as you would get any where- lovely amuse bouche, plenty of home made bread, excellent starter followed by fish main, a beer, 250 ml glass of wine and a coffee - all for £40. Really good value for the quality - why wasn't it full!

I had the opportunity to revisit Peebles and I ensured that made a reservation for dinner at Osso, so impressed was I, a couple of years ago, by the super cafe vibe and clear evidence for a love of food.

We had a lovely dinner at Osso - Halibut filet with truffled mash & wild mushrooms. The service, ambience and food were excellent. We found the restaurant through viamichelin.com where Osso is listed as a "Bib Gourmand" The Bib Gourmand spotlights restaurants that serve “high-quality meals which include two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less. We highly recommend!!

On our way to do some hill walking we stopped for breakfast in Peebles. Oslo was the first little cafe we saw, the front of the restaurant does not give you a clue to the inside which is larger than first impressions. The menu outside was enticing and we were greeted and welcomed. Service was quick and the food came without us having to wait longer than necessary to cook it. We had a lovely bacon and black pudding sandwich. The bacon was cooked beautifully as we had requested it, the black pudding was thicker than I would normally eat it but it was also very good. The Americano was very strong which is excellent I think filter coffee is also available. The toilets were spotless.

We walked in on a Friday night, no booking and were in luck. Our host was welcoming and friendly. We were told immediately that the menu was restricted as they had only one chef. But he was a great chef. We told them we were off to the Eastgate Theatre - show at 7.30pm- no problem! We were given a wee bowl of salty popcorn as we chose our dishes then bread (no charge). I had a fantastic stater of monkfish tails in such a light breaded coating and a glorious sauce - one of the best stares I have ever had. My partner had a delicious and light cod dish with Goan sauce and fragrant rice and I had a slow cooked brisket of beef in a rich sauce with wilted green and onions. Such a good experience and we need to go back when we have time for dessert!

Although the kitchen tried to accommodate my dairy allergy we ended up paying full price for a mediocre side dish which was just steamed broccoli! Quite disappointing main meal for me as well. My husband didn’t finish his chicken dish either.

We organised a dinner for two and our family joined us. The restaurant accommodated us at short notice. The food was absolutely divine. The specials menu was packed with flavours. The wine selection was also fab and reasonably priced. Sauvignon blanc from Chile was our favourite wine. The venison was delicious and paired with mince and tatties. A party in my mouth. Everything worked beautifully together. Highly recommend it for a visit if South of Edinburgh. The gentleman who looked after us was very polite. We had a great meal night before the wedding. X

I wrote a review about my experience at the weekend. However i felt it was a little curt and harsh as it’s a place we love so much. A review written in disappointment. So wanted to put across a more balanced opinion. The 5 star rating is for the food and the usually fabulous service. I don’t want to sour the restaurants reputation on a, hopefully, one off experience.

Been coming to this restaurant for years always found it fabulous. Had an early reservation on Saturday night while staying near by. Wrong food was brought to my table. Was delicious but not what I ordered. Decided to accept it and just get on with it rather than cause a scene. Sirloin I had instead of the lamb I ordered was great but would have much preferred my lamb. Have always found the food and service here fantastic. Found the gentleman serving on Saturday evening was confused, arrogant and inept and not in keeping with the place we have come to love so much. This was when the place was not busy. Either a poor substitute to the usual staff or a very poor new start.....

They were busy so not the quickest service but coped with seven of us (took a deposit when booking) interesting menu with specials. Interesting soups clearly home made. The monkfish with Goan sauce was unusual but very nice. The breads and dips as a vegetarian main or starter were in a wide variety of interesting tastes. Mid priced. Parking off edinburgh road from which one can walk fifty yards to the restaurant free Monday to Friday.

We were spending the day down in the borders and decided to stop off in Peebles where we found Osso which doesn’t look much from the outside - but is “ tardis like “ inside ! The staff were welcoming , helpful and knowledgeable about everything on the menu ! It has a Mediterranean style to it menu mixed with loads of Scottish favourites like black pudding . We enjoyed the tomato and basil soup then a portion of flat breads with various dips to share the sourdough pancakes with crispy local bacon and maple syrup - absolutely great , wash down with a broughtons pale ale and a lemonade. We definitely recommend you try it and we intend to come back for an evening visit to sample their dinner menu!

We are at Osso about 3 years ago, and really enjoyed it. We returned last week and it was just as good. Prices are fantastic for this qualification cooking, courses are imaginative and feature local produce, service is friendly and efficient and the decor is tasteful. Highly recommended!

I had a meal with my family in Osso at the weekend and we haven't stopped raving about it since! Chilled, no-frills atmosphere with the incredible food doing all the talking. One of us has a severe nut allergy and I'm vegan, and they couldn't have done more to accommodate us - lots of really creative options to choose from, and all very reasonably priced for what you get. Couldn't recommend it enough and looking forward to coming back again soon!

Really is a gem - superb menu and lovely, attentive staff. A busy Saturday night which made for a great atmosphere. Menu interesting and varied - we had two vegetarians in our party and they were more than impressed with the options. Many thanks to all concerned.

We have been travelling around Scotland for two weeks. We had a coffee outside in the sunshine at Osso last week then ended up back in Peebles tonight. Having walked up and down the High Street we ended up back at Osso’s and weren’t disappointed. Food was absolutely excellent and the manager was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Nice modern decor. Serving staff as they should be pleasant, efficient and unobtrusive. The menu offered several tempting dishes. The amuse bouche arincini ball was a tasty starter. The White wine was crisp and chilled. The monkfish scampi and beetroot starters went down well. The crispy lamb shank was meaty and tasty although the roast potatoes could have had a few more minutes cooking. The salmon with crab ravioli was delicious. The star was the rice pudding . Creamy rice topped with seeds and puffed rice gave great textures and the raspberry sorbet was fabulous. Would definitely head back when in Peebles.
