Coltman's Delicatessen and Kitchen

$$ Fodor's Choice

The pleasant white-walled, modern dining room of this bright, airy eatery sits behind the tempting deli counter, and its windows overlook the Tweed. All-day options include salads, platters, and sandwiches as well as heartier choices such as hanger steak with chimichurri. Leave a little space for some worthwhile desserts or take time to linger in the bar. There's also a walled garden behind the restaurant, just beware of the steep steps.

Horseshoe Inn

$$

A country hotel that recalls an old coaching inn, the opulent dining room at the Horseshoe Inn has large gold-framed mirrors and heavy drapes to emphasize its grand style. The dinner menu combines well-established favorites with fine dining, from fish-and-chips to roast lamb and baked cod. There's an impressive three-course roast menu on Sundays for £16.95 and a good value lunch menu at £13.95 for 2 courses and £17.95 for three. As you would expect, the pace echoes the surroundings and the cuisine—slow with plenty of time to savor. If you elect to stay in the area, the restaurant also has eight rooms.
