Restaurants in Kelso

Cafe U

My partner and I had the best brunch in a while. Everything was freshly made from local producers. I was eating the food knowing is not only super tasty, but also certainly good for your body. Wee hidden, vibrant café with lovely atmosphere, fantastic team and delicious food and coffee

The Cobbles - Freehouse & Dining

A very busy Friday night but food was excellent, nice Friday night vibe and the wee doggie was given treats, water and plenty of rubs by the locals. Would definitely come back if I was in the area again.

The Contented Vine

This is a super restaurant in Kelso, excellent food at a decent price with great service and a welcoming candlelit dining room. My husband says it’s the best lamb he’s ever had and my carbonara was on point. We had one of the best meals out we’ve had for a long time and it didn’t break the bank. Highly recommend

Salt’N’Fire

Excellent choice burger and chicken burger were delicious and great fries. Had a side of chicken wings ??? We had a takeaway and are 5 minutes in the car the food was nit as warm as we would have liked but didnt spoil the taste. Will sit in next time ?

Rutherfords Micropub Kelso

Great micropub in Kelso main square. Excellent local ales, super wine by the glass and possibly the world's best steak and haggis scotch pies. What more could you want, hm?

Black Swan Hotel

Class place to stay over .
Rooms right above the pub so ideal if away a weekend jolly or for the racing as we were.
Lads all behind the bar top drawer to.
For the price , location and service can't fault a thing.
Rooms spotless to?

Sultans of kelso

Walked down for a takeaway on Saturday night. It was quite busy but the service time was quick. Staff were friendly. Food was amazing, very tasty curry made with fresh ingredients.

Terrace Cafe

Popped in for lite lunch and have a quick mooch. As just no too far from us.
Had Cauliflower and broccoli soup with nice fresh roll and butter.
Fabulous service. Soup lovely.

1905 Bar

Good beer and service up until the bar staff failed to deal with two guys squaring up to each other with one who was very drunk and aggressively shouting threatening obscenities across the bar. Should have been thrown out and/or the police called. Neither happened so we left.

The Cream Chimneys

Pleasant cafe, clean & comfortable. Good selection of daily dishes, soup of the day & others including toasties / croque monsieur / croque madam / warm mackerel salad ? all reasonably priced & what I saw ? being served looked well presented & appetising. Great coffee ☕️ & cakes selection ? scones of all varieties. Quick efficient service.

Tweed Cafe & Restaurant

Delicious food. Large portions. Incredibly friendly and polite staff. We both had the salmon grill off the dinner menu, which was accompanied by bulgur and salad. Google times do not accurately reflect current operating hours

Borders Street Food

Excellent quality , we drove round Kelso looking we tried a few others.. we found this.. and the best in area ? nothing a problem. Clean, Good price, very good quality.. lovely haggis will be coming here again when passing by with work.

SCHLOSS Roxburghe, part of Destination by Hyatt

We stayed for one night for our anniversary.

The highlight of the stay was the spa, lots of sunbeds available with complimentary water and snacks. The heated pool and jacuzzi were wonderful although the sauna was closed, which was slightly disappointing.

We had lunch down at the golf complex, the room is small but cozy. We shared the club sandwich which was large enough for two.

Very surprisingly the hotel room TV did not offer Sky Sports, I wanted to watch the Dunhill golf, but the TV channels on offer were very basic. Other hotels in this price point would offer this.

Frustratingly, and related to above, casting to the hotel TV didn't work, chromecast was discontinued by Google in 2024. There was no way to connect my mobile.

We ate in Charlie's for our evening meal, service was a bit slow, we skipped dessert because it took so long to clear our main plates away and we were concerned dessert would take even longer. The food was geat however. I had the salmon and then the duck, both were excellent.

The whisky bar was another highlight of the stay with very knowledgeable staff.

Breakfast was also affected by slow service, and our order was incorrect - my wife ordered a vegetarian omelette which, when it arrived, contained ham. Poor selection of items on the buffet as well, pretty disappointing for a 5 star hotel.

Courtyard Cafe

Gavins diner

Kwan's Chinese Takeaway

Ordered from here for the 1st time. We are in the caravan park and they had no problem delivering here. (I am kinda glad the closer chinese didn't) food was amazing and plentiful. We ordered a chicken curry and a sweet n sour and they tasted so good ? we tried very hard to eat it all but we were full to the brim! I cannot recommend Kwan's highly enough. The food is far superior to any of Glasgow's take aways that we use. Also, the prawn crackers just melt in your mouth! Definitely give them a go ? I don't think you'll regret it.

Ozkans Grill

Very disapointed ,food was cold on delivery and not to the usual standard,mixed kebab didnt have alot of meat in it and pakora chicken wrap didnt have the usual amount of chicken and really cold .wont be back

Cross Keys Hotel

We had supper there one evening. Wonderful staff, the dining area was lovely. A good menu catering for everyone. We enjoyed the meal. The bartender was pleasant and cheerful, a good range of zero alcohol beers in stock.

Greggs

10/10 what can i say, the staff can sometimes be a little bit on the moodier side (i chose not to name as to not shame) but some staff and exceptionally amazing. Abbie is one i chose to name because she always goes above and beyond. i'm deaf and she helps me understand by talking slowly and having alot of patience. she's calm, patient and really poilite. i usually go for the wedges, SFC baguette and a redbull and if the front shop doesnt have any of that she checks the back for me. she really is a credit to the team. i hope yous know yous are lucky to find someone like that! well done Abbie ??

China Red

We visited China red whilst staying near by for a wee break in the Oct week and my god it didn't disappoint. Staff were very friendly, waiting time was only around 10 minutes and the food was not only well priced but delicious too! We all loved our food! Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again if we're ever back in the area!

The Townhouse Takeaway

We had a take away delivered last night.
We asked for it to be delivered at 18:30 and their very pleasant and friendly driver arrived at exactly 18:30!! Brilliant!!
The food was hot and it was delicious.
We wouldn't hesitate to order from them again and would definitely recommend them.

Rendezvouz Fish & Chip Shop

Just popped in here when passing, lots of choice and loved that everything was cooked to order. Staff were polite if a little dower, a can’t imagine it’s easy being in the catering industry at the moment. Lovely well cooked sausage and chips, not at all soggy would order from again.
