Sunlaws Restaurant

Inspector comments
"Discover refined cooking in the Scottish Borders."
Overview
Sunlaws lays claim to being the oldest dining room in the Borders and it is said that Bonnie Prince Charlie dined here sometime during the Jacobite rebellion. Located within a Jacobean mansion in 300 acres of woods and parkland, the elegant restaurant looks the part: linen-clad tables, a large fireplace and views of the grounds provide a formal setting for classic European dishes built on top-class Scottish produce including some from the surrounding estate. Glazed veal sweetbreads with grilled peas, black garlic and lovage opens the show, followed by superb pan-fried turbot matched with piperade, turbot bouillabaisse and rouille.
