Quins, Galashiels

Our most recent recommendation for eating out is Quins in Galashiels right beside the new Tesco Superstore. This place is just fine for a cuppa (and home made cake) in the morning, a tasty reasonably-priced lunch with home made puddings and reliably delicious dinner in the evenings.

Partners Sylvia Scott and chef Stephen Boggs didn't stumble upon this place by chance. The location is well-thought out with the merging of a former restaurant combined with its neighbour, a coffee shop.

Sylvia honed her skills in The Waggon and the Mayfield Garden Centre, Kelso followed by worthwhile stints in The Kingsknowe Hotel, Gala, and the Carters' Rest in Jedburgh. All along the way her standards have attracted foodies and with chef partner Stephen's skills this place is already showing great promise.

The decor is tasteful, and wooden rather than clattery laminate floors make the place feel homely. The loos are shiny clean too - that's always a good sign!
