The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Scottish Borders Lowlands

What an amazing cafe plenty of gluten free options to choose from all very tasty mocha coffee and they post out gluten free item in the post whoop whoop what a find

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.

We had a fabulous meal here, I recommend the teriyaki chicken!!! Beautiful room out back full of fairy lights, great atmosphere. Great place to eat.

Really cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. I was just in by myself and had the iskender and sticky toffee pudding. Both very tasty and generous portions. Thank you :)

Having driven for 3 hours to get to the Horseshoe Inn on our way to Edinburgh from England, much of it across country lanes partially covered with snow and ice , we eventually arrived much later than our booking , at the restaurant which was highly recommended by our Scottish Friends The staff were great and made us feel very welcome. Prior to ordering our meals, we were informed that some of the menu was not available , having run out. No problem , 3 of us adjusted our choices, however my wife, who only eats duck or chicken , with only Duck on the menu , chose the duck, but as usually, well done. To which the chef apparently refused to cook the duck ‘ well done ‘ even after 2 times requesting this and , assuring them if this resulted in the duck being a little tough, we would be happy as my wife will not eat pink duck. They insisted that the chef would NOT COOK A DUCK ‘ WELL DONE. This happens to us every now and again and we understand the reasoning for this reluctance, however we have NEVER HAD A TOTAL REFUSAL, EVEN IN A MICHELIN STAR RESTAURANT IN TOKYO , which got it just right recently at the 3rd attempt. Consequently, my wife had to make do with a starter and a salad. This was totally unacceptable, but it was the only choice on the menu she would eat. It was however nicely prepared and appreciated. I had the Ribeye medium rare which was excellent and our companions enjoyed their food as well. My marks therefore take my wife’s disappointment into consideration. So the location is great, the staff which we met was excellent and helpful, however the Chef , who is excellent at preparing our meals, NEEDS TO REMEMBER WHO PAYS THE BILL. What happened to ‘ the customer is always right even if they’re wrong? In summing up, the place is great, the staff and food are excellent as long as the Chef agrees with your choice of how you want it prepared.

An accidental find when we’d missed lunch opening hours elsewhere. Needed something Coeliac-friendly, and DD did so much more! Could be in Prague, Krakow, or ….well, anywhere bookish and bohemian, DD is quirky but not kitsch. Coffee is good, mezze is great, and cake quality is very very good…and almost everything is gluten-fee (I could share a mezze platter with my gluten-loving g wife. All the cakes except one were gf). Slightly hidden away off the end of the High St, prices are decent, and its a peaceful space you could step into briefly or waste an afternoon in. Really liked the staff too! Perfect excuse for a wee trip from Edinburgh.

Food was good, service was fab, and the pub has a cosy vibe.

This was the first place to eat we found after walking up the hill from the abbey car park. The menu was reasonable and it was busy and the staff friendly. I had chicken goujons and chips which was very generous and large, and my husband had fish and chips - also reasonably sized. There is a small car park a little nearer by the town hall.

My usual Kingrib Supper from the fish and chip shop underwent a regrettable alteration in its recipe following the COVID-19 pandemic. The resulting product was unsatisfactory. However, I am pleased to report that the primary supplier to UK fish and chip shops has reverted to the original recipe, restoring the dish to its former quality.
