The best restaurants in Leaderdale and Melrose Scottish Borders Lowlands

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

Lovely staff, food was delicious and very reasonably priced!! Will definitely be returning! Lovely setting also :) xx

Questo locale offre diverse varietà di cibo dai bagel ai club sandwich di una qualità e freschezza unica! Lo consiglio.

The staff, the atmosphere and the food were all lovely. The pumpkin gnocchi were one of the best things I've ever eaten. Their focaccia was amazing too.

New indoor tap room open. Brilliant local brewery. Top notch beer. Great staff and service. Pop up food available.

Our server's name was amanda she was phenomenal right on the ball excellent

Best food in the Borders

We where very disappointed, my wife ordered the scallops which where okay, nothing special at all. Also had the steak which was very tough and hard to cut, it also had to much fat on it, once again very disappointed. On a plus side the service was good and ambiance was nice. We will not rush back with Melrose offering so many other options. Very disappointed as we looked forward to eating here while on holiday from overseas.

I'm absolutely gutted as I came here on my own last year and the Sunday lunch was amazing. I'm back in melrose with my friends and told them we must go to the ship for lunch. Phoned ahead booked a table for th4 of us and the dinner was disgusting!! The food was only warm gravy was like water my friends was disgusted I felt so embarrassed after reccomending this place, we ate most of it as we were starving but I won't go back again for food.😢😢😢 Tinned carrot's and peas really for the amount yous charge.

Annual visit to use a generous voucher 11th October 24. Huge disappointment with the food. My fish dish dry, tasteless and could not be split readily with knife and fork. . New potatoes black skinned, solid and inedible. My wife's confit duck slippery and straight out of the oil, no attempt made to crisp the skin. My chilled rice pudding just a solid paste. Half my meal sent back on the plates. Did not complain on the night so as not to cause trauma or drama on what was otherwise a visit to one of our favourite local haunts. Emailed the Manager o the Sunday evening, saying something must have been amiss in the kitchen, no credit sought, but if it was my restaurant, I would want to know. Received an apology from the duty manager and advised the chef had been given my email. Front of house, staff and decor all as good as usual, so I also said we would be back, but doubt if we ever will. Shame. ?

This is a very special restaurant in unassuming premises, in a quiet village by the Tweed that you'd probably have no other pressing reason to visit. Seasons is reason enough! Impeccable food and service and real attention to detail, with an emphasis on local produce. Because most people just steam through this area on the way to or from Edinburgh without stopping to explore, the Borders is full of well-kept secrets. This restaurant is one of the best of them.

We stayed in Melrose at The Townhouse at the end of our UK holiday and this was probably the best place we stayed! It was just lovely. The room we had was huge with a lovely big bathroom and the bed was just dreamy. There was no road noise and the location was ideal being right in the heart of Melrose. The breakfast was terrific with lots of choice and the quality of the food was just ideal. Honestly, this is worth every cent!!

Delicious Sunday lunch with family whilst on holiday near Melrose. Two of us had the Sunday roast (beef) which was very good with all the trimmings cooked well. The other meals were very good too. We had a warm welcome and friendly and efficient waiters. We sat outside in the sun which added to the experience but the dining room also looked nice.
