The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Scottish Borders Lowlands

Visited this pub more than once this week. Nice friendly landlady and staff. Cheap bar prices. Very small bar but there are seats outside at the front, which is a bit of a suntrap, or in the large beer garden at the back. Locals chatty and helpful. Thankfully dogs not allowed in the bar as a couple of dogs in the very small bar space would be accident waiting to happen. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Arriving in Galashiels on a cold, miserable morning we were disappointed to find that the delightful Why Not coffee shop has closed. There didn't seem to be an alternative but then we spotted that the Great Tapestry building has a coffee shop. Really excellent! Spacious, airy, comfortable, with excellent home baking and coffee, and really friendly staff. We shall know where to go in future.

Well stocked shop but needs to be more accurate and then in the newsstand section there were no premier league cards 😔

A very friendly welcome from enthusiastic staff. We were only here for coffee and traybake and both were VERY good. The coffee was outstanding. The place was clean, warm, comfortable and efficient and we will definitely return.
