The best restaurants in Scottish Borders Lowlands

Absolutely outstanding tasting ciabatta lunches (the king oyster mushroom, the teriyaki seitan and the marinated tempeh, lettuce and tomato). I know I’ll be thinking about my lunch until I get to eat here again. Really good oat milk coffee and super freshly baked cakes - the fruit loaf, fruity bun and peanuty-iced muffin. So much love, skill and care goes into the food and welcoming atmosphere here that it’s just a wonderful place to eat and relax. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you for such lovely food and Sunday afternoon chat.

Booked a table for 4 people last Tuesday night, the 4 of us had X2 the steak deal for 2, food was plentiful and tasty washed down with a nice bottle of red, great value for money, bar folks and people in the pub were very friendly, also managed to meet the owners dog winston who was very friendly ! Would highly recommend

On the 18th January at around 17-30 I rang to book a table as we where staying in the village for the evening I was told the restaurant was fully booked all night so no tables would be available I walked past at around 8pm that evening to visit the spar shop to get something to eat I was surprised to see only 2 tables occupied As this was the only place open to eat I was somewhat disappointed

Enjoyed our lunch at the Plough Inn, Leitholm today. Very impressed with gluten free choices on menu. Our dog was welcome and got a treat!. Would highly recommended.

Went for Christmas Lunch which was absolutely delicious. Everything cooked to perfection. Their Christmas pudding was the best I have ever tasted. Fantastic experience.

Popped in for some food whilst in the area for work - I was blown away by the quality. The best bakers I have ever been to. Almond croissant, ham salad roll and an empire biscuit- each were delicious. I only wish they opened on a Sunday so I could take some treat home !

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.

We chanced apon the coffee tree this afternoon and had a really nice lunch here. The lady who served us was so warm, helpful and friendly and was so kind to my 2 year old. The food was really yummy and beautifully presented and the overall atmosphere was super cozy on a rather cold damp day!

Great atmosphere food and service, and a shop with top quality products for sale, fresh sandwiches and delicious cake and a excellent cheese counter

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

Faultless food and service in a superb, comfortable location. Birthday dinner for five of us, varied choices from beeg to schnitzel to scampi...all beautifully cooked and presented. 3 starters, 5 mains, 3 desserts, drinks and wine working out around £30 a head..great value. Will definitely be back

We visited this lovely little coffee shop on New Years Day. We received a warm welcome from both the staff and the environment. It's a cosy little shop with a decent amount of comfy seating which ranges from tables and chairs to a big squishy sofa. The menu consists mainly of (for example) bacon rolls, sandwiches and toasties all served with good quality crisps and coleslaw. Both of our meals were well presented, arrived really quickly and were delicious; perfect lunch on a snowy day. There's a good range of teas, coffees and soft drinks available. The toilets are to the side of the building and are immaculate with lots of "extras" like nice toiletries and obviously regularly checked and maintained. As it was New Years Day we were offered commentary prosecco/nosecco; which we didn't have but felt it was a really thoughtful touch. It'd be a great place to take the grandchildren and we noticed that dogs were also welcomed! We live fairly locally but had never visited before and will definitely be back.

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