Just arrived in Peebles for a weeks holiday en famille.

Any recommendations for somewhere to eat that will cater for fussy kids? Cafes, pubs etc

I liked the curry restaurant. Think we all did in our group.

Second the curry house. Also the resteraunt at the junction of the main road and entry to glentress is quite good.

Tend to avoid the cafe at Glentress itself as it's bobbins!

Which thinking about it, there is cracking pub food in innerleithen. It's on the road from the high street towards the trails.

Last time I was there went to an Italian at the far end of HS. Was a while ago though.

The steakhouse at GT is good and child friendly, as is The Courthouse. About 10 miles North of Peebles on the road to Edinburgh The Leadburn Inn does nice food and has a good soft play.

Kids and wife won't touch Indian, but we'll try and give some of the others a go.

Off to the Games today though 😀

Café-wise (plus evening meals); here is good:

Coltrans, down near the roundabout/bridge.

We couldnt recommend the Curry place, terrible service, just left us sat there for ages, while they took orders from people who came in after us, so we walked.
We then went over the road to the posh hotel (Tontine), and got a lovely dinner for very little more cost, with great view out of the windows, rather than the blank walls of the Indian Prince.

I'd highly recommend trying Osso restaurant which is on the high street next to the Eastgate theatre. They do everything from breakfast through to dinner. Seriously good cooking, child friendly and great value.

Can't remember the name of the pub on the high street, the one opposite the chip ship. We went one night as the Italian was shut got chicken cheese bacon BBQ sauce, chips and salad plus 2 pints for under £15, needless to say we ate there all week after that. Good quality food lots of TVs at different angles to watch sky sports.

I was up there for the EWS with the family (6yr) and went to the Sunflower (very good food, really friendly but check the menu before you go as not much for children). The Green Tree Restaurant was great, really family friendly, they happily stored my son's bike and the Sunday lunch and desert was very good. The Crown Hotel was also good and family friendly. It looks a bit strange as the restaurant is the back which is nice. The fish and chip just off the high street on Northgate street (just around the corner from the sunflower) is also very good and seems to be where the locals go.

Green Tree would be my first choice.

Chippy every time for me. However, If looking for a decent meal the restaurant at Kailzie Gardens is pretty nice.

County Inn is good (Hotel right in centre of town).
Prince of India is good.
