Scottish Borders Restaurant Reviews


Food Review Scotland 2009

I have never stayed at Dryburgh Abbey Hotel before and had only experienced a pub lunch about 3 years ago.  My goodness has it changed.  We loved it.  We experienced an 8 course dinner last night which was exemplary from canapes (goat's cheese "ice cream style" cones, prawns and avocado, olive straws) to the petit fours served with coffee in the drawing room.

The food was wonderful, my particular favourites were the terrine, the duck and the chocolate pudding.  The canapes, amuse bouche, veloue, pre dessert and petit fours were devine.  The portion sizes were perfect and well presented.

It would be unfair to single out one person for praise as all were helpful, polite and knowledgeable.  Chef deserves praise for his skills and quality of food.

Sublime food in all areas.  Your Chef is well deserved of his awards and will no doubt gain more.  I will certainly be writing to my local newspaper commending your hotel.
