2 Best Restaurants in Jedburgh, The Borders and the Southwest

The talented chef at this unpretentious restaurant has built its menu around what local suppliers can offer. This range of ingredients creates options like the wood pigeon starter and the occasional squirrel dish, which is very popular. There are also choices like smoked duck with blue cheese and hazelnut, game pie, and rack of lamb, too. The vegetarian menu is long and creative.

The interiors of this traditional red-sandstone house in central Jedburgh are quite conservative, but the fine-dining menu is creative. Food presentation is artistic, and the taste of what is always local produce confirms the artistry. You might begin with mussels marinière or queen scallop ceviche and continue with the sea bass with asaparagus risotto or the artichokes two ways. Thursday's steak nights are especially popular with rib-eye aficionados, and the restaurant has a cocktail bar and a house beer. There are simple but elegant bedrooms if you prefer to linger.
