The best restaurants in Scottish Borders Lowlands

We were greeted in a most welcoming manner on entering. We ordered two toasted ciabatta with amazing fillings. Both absolutely delicious and the apple and home baked cinnamon cake and the chocolate brownie were exceptional. Best my wife has ever had! This family business of over 23 years is well worth a visit and is extremely friendly. Top marks from us 👏👏👏👏

So glad we came here for dinner whilst on holiday in the area. The owners were so friendly as was Winston the dog! Huge menu so hard to decide as it all sounded so good but happy with what we chose. Large portions and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, my partner said it was the best burger he’s had in a long time. The Scottish trash loaded fries were so tasty aswell and the kids enjoyed Katsu curry, Mac & cheese & fish cakes. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Staff very friendly offered vegetarian option for breakfast and it was fantastic more than I could eat and even my husband struggled

Wow, fabulous food and made to feel most welcome. Dog friendly, Harris just loved David the co-owner. The Sunday beef roast was just the best we have ever had, a must. The food was so good we booked for the Italian night later in the week. The lasagna is to die for. Sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice cream was stunning. Best book of your going as you may be disappointed if you turn up, tables fill fast. Jason, Lesley and Harris.

Burnt offerings for breakfast and it’s extorcianate won’t be back ever and when asked how was your breakfast told her terrible to be told oh sorry about that not good enough.

Another visit back to the bakery with my family. We have been coming for years, our daughter is the 3rd generation of our family to enjoy the offerings. Previous review about the pies being salty - same recipe has been years for YEARS and the volumes of pies sold show how tasty they are.

Found this place in 2023 and have been many times, it is great on all fronts...food, service, atmosphere,price and quality....best bacon rolls! Highly recommend.

Restaurant was pretty full, but still managed to squeeze us in, amazing food and service, definitely will be back soon!

Visited The Pirn House recently and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. There's a varied menu with delicious dishes, catering for all. The owners have worked hard to comply with recent conditions and the restaurant looked inviting. The staff there are very welcoming and pleasant too. I can highly recommend The Pirn House.

Great little shop with a good selection of cheese, pate etc. You can also sit in (or out) for a coffee and cake. Definitely worth a visit

Had breakfast here on a busy Thursday morning (just before mums group with 7! buggies). Excellent strong coffee and bacon rolls. Great friendly service

Great service, very friendly people and amazing food, décor is really nice as well 💚 family friendly and there's tables outside 👏🏻

Not been to Riversedge for quite some time and so pleased I returned for a further visit. Went early Friday afternoon and the premises were reasonably busy. Service was very efficient and friendly. Had a lovely cheese scone and a piping hot mug if good quality coffee. There’s quite an extensive menu and they cater extremely well for those that are gluten free. Prices reasonable and a nice atmosphere within. WiFi available. Extensive free parking available nearby. They also have a nice array of home crafts and jewellery available. A lovely well run establishment

Whilst in Jedburgh we thought we would stop in. Unfortunately, the cafe is now close but they do still have a takeaway shop around the back (well signposted). The staff were very welcoming and friendly. They described each item well and gave us recommendations. There wasn’t an abundance of selection but that is a positive because it suggests they focus on quality over quantity. I went for the charcoal salmon and cream cheese bagel. It doesn’t sound appealing but it was nice. The bagel was chewy and the filling was decent. I also got an almond croissant which was large and had a good pastry to filling ratio. I did find that some bites of the pastry was drier than others but it was still a very good croissant. My wife got a apple crumble cruffin which was sweet and again had plenty of filling. She wasn’t blown away by it but it was quite nice. My mother in-law also got the almond croissant which she also enjoyed. Overall for all that it was £18.50 which for a bakery is very expensive in my opinion. I do like the shop as its cute and has a variety of loafs and I get the impression they change the items frequently.
