Things to do in Selkirk
1. Burt's Hotel Restaurant

4.5 based on 425 reviews
Reviewed By howardeawilliams - Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Went to Burts for dinner with a number of friends, and the welcome was friendly and everything looked good, until the orders were taken and the food started to arrive. First the Eastern European waitress couldn't set the table, and we had to correct her mistakes. Then when the food arrived I had no cutlery so asked for a set, which was not provided and I had to get my own. The food was not brilliant, dried up pork terrine with four thin toasted French bread that was a real tooth breaker and was impossible to eat, followed by fish and chips. The best bit was the fish which was well cooked and tasty, but the chips looked to me as if they were fresh out of the freezer and not home made and not nearly as nice as the chippy. Quite expensive for a poor meal.

Another visit to our favourite local Indian restaurant, this time with extended family. Staff were friendly as always!
Difficult gor us regulars to get something other than our favourite mains of chicken chilli masala and rogan josh but the visitors were impressed with their choices too. Popadums and mix of starters all good too.
There are cheaper places in town but this is always first choice.
Will be back soon!

6. The Townhouse

Reviewed By peter1fife - Fife
Just enjoyed an excellent meal in the Brasserie. My venison, beetroot & celeriac gratin, venison & chestnut faggot, roasted beetroot and red grape jus was very good and my wife enjoyed the Guinea fowl special. Cheeses were well kept, came with a lovely fresh tasting chutney and plenty of biscuits! What made it even better was the apparently very low mark up on their wine list. We had a great bottle of Pingus Psi which retails at about £25 and was sold at £46 which in terms of restaurant mark ups is astonishingly low and gave us a chance to enjoy this lesser wine from the fabled Pingus domain at a half decent price. Other wines seemed also to be keenly priced. IMO there are some restaurants that you simply should not go to on account of their cynical approach to wine pricing. Well done Townhouse.

9. Waterwheel Cafe

Reviewed By Linda G - Selkirk, United Kingdom
This is a popular cafe where people meet up before or after enjoying the local countryside. The scones are delicious and the lunch menu tasty too. Dog walkers can sit outside as there are picnic tables and water bowls for their pets. Be careful when exiting onto the main road as the junction is on a bit of a bend. Worth a visit if in the area.

Reviewed By GRAHAM H - Galashiels, United Kingdom
We visited for lunch on Tuesday but did not stay. On our arrival we were ignored by the one staff member who was visible. No hello. No menu. No we will be with you shortly. We found a table and waited. The only thing that was happening was that a customer opposite was coughing and sneezing continuously. After ten minutes we simply left and appeared not to have been seen leaving either.
