The best restaurants in Lowlands

if you were to ask me how i felt about this bakers, id say i love it. if you were to ask me on a deeper level id say this is the most amazing incredible bakers in hawick, possibly anywhere. the food is immaculate and flavourful and the workers are always so nice. i love going there super early just to eat their food, sometimes i even stay up all night excitedly waiting for this bakers to open. please never ever close

Stayed here on tues 28th May great expierance We phoned late in the afternoon to ask if they had A room available for that evening, thankfully, they did We were well looked after by the gentleman on reception who really was excellent, and Really helpfull our room was spotless and very quiet no outside noise but the real Highlight of our stay was the breakfast whilst it was a buffet all the produce was of a high quality and piping hot Nothing was dried out Full marks to the breakfast team probably the best buffet breakfast we have had For many a long time On checking out there was a discrepancy with our bill someone had put drinks on our room number however yet again, the lady on reception dealt with the issue Without any fuss In conclusion we really enjoyed our visit and will stay there again Well done team

En route to Samyeling Temple we stopped for lunch and had viewed their type of menu on web, but did not realise that the Sunday Roast Lunch was to be booked, and it was very busy. We managed to get a table but there was not enough of the roast dinner to go around but offered us soup which we were grateful for as don't think there are any other places to go for lunch near hand? My parsnip soup was lovely but my sisters vegetable and red lentil she tasted had a sour taste and I had to agree with her so she spoke to a waiter who offered to change it to the parsnip soup which was a good outcome. Lovely two slices of brown bread and two butters but I opted for the cheese scone, a wee bit dearer, but I must say was very good indeed. Usually cheese scones are not cheesy enough for me but this was good and they agreed to warm it through for me. I complimented the chef who made them who was very humble. We did not realise this is more of a community hub and not just a cafe, which must be great for the immediate locals with a place to go. It sounds an interesting place and stop off point for cyclists. Would definitely recommend going here, accept what they have to offer and enjoy.

Stopped on our way to Edinburgh and what a great find. Just a few tables and lovely home cooked Sunday lunch. It was lamb with roast potatoes and nicely cooked veg. We had rhubarb crumble and custard to follow which was also top notch. Service was spot on and extremely friendly and I think it was his wife in the kitchen. This sort of place is dying out and it's such a shame - good honest home-cooked food at a reasonable price. Give Hawick a miss (not difficult) and give this place a try.

Ten out of ten! The ladies that where serving us were hot, AMAZING icecream and really good prices! Would definitely recommend.

On holiday in Dumfries and Galloway and visiting Kirkcudbright for the day we attempted to have lunch here. However, upon entering a rather rude lady said we couldn't have a table as they already had two parties of six in and only one chef in the kitchen. Seems from the reviews that others have had similar experiences.

Went for breakfast & the place was pretty quiet. Disappointed with portion size. Ordered 2 x breakfast & 2 x cup of teas which came to £25.75. Gave feedback to member of staff & they were not interested. Won’t be back.

Well I guess I went in there to get a coffee and a sandwich and then went back for lunch it was average I was in the cafe 1st time on my own and then I went with a friend

We arrived early afternoon, grandkids in tow. My friend talked to the person at the visitor centre and was put off visiting the roundhouse due to our grandkids being with us (6 & 11). This was certainly the impression she got. We decided to explore the church ruins and the graveyard instead, from which you can see the roof of the elusive roundhouse. Very interesting graveyard with some very old graves.

Great friendly restaurant. We were a group of newbies and the restaurant tailored a starter with most of their delicacies. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the welcoming Grill. We'll surely visit again.

Was recommended by Shirley a lady who frequently visits for her Latte. We had a light lunch, mine was haggis with cheese panini very nicely served up. My wife had the cheese brie and cranberry toastie with light salad dressing. Value for money and lovely service from all who work there.

Loved this experience. The food was really great and we really appreciated the staff and the conversations we had with them. 10/10 would recommend.

On a rainy day in Peebles this was the first café we came too.So pleased we did.We both had a toasted sandwich, lots of filling.Also had a piece of coffee & walnut cake,an Ecclefechan, 1 latte,1 pot of tea.Total cost £17,very good value for money.

Visited the Frothy this morning for the first & very last time as the cafe is closing. Whilst the cafe was comfortable the coffee wasn’t the best ever tasted and we were stunned at the price! Compared to other coffee houses close by it was surprising; could this be a reason they are not finding it profitable?

Nice place to stop off for coffee and cake. Really friendly and helpful. You can find them on the main street in Newton Stewart. They are closed on Mondays.
