Hing Loong in Scottish Borders

Want to have a really enjoyable meal? Come here! A menu that’s has enough choice, but isn’t overwhelming. A menu where you still have trouble choosing because it all sounds good ... and it turns out that it looks and tastes excellent. Front of house are friendly, amusing and attentive. If you live in the Borders or are just visiting, then pay Lemon and Thyme a visit. In my view this is the best restaurant in the Borders.

Delicious food, great service. Came here for with my other half for dinner whilst staying with relatives. Would highly recommend.

Only one other couple there the night we dined so rather lacking in warmth and atmosphere. The lady who served us was very helpful and friendly. Main course venison was superb, can't praise it highly enough. Sadly neither of our desserts were to our taste and that was a shame.

We ate here twice during our stay in Kelso. The food was absolutely amazing and challenged the traditional take on familiar ingredients! Superb and very warm and friendly atmosphere.

We are so lucky to have such an amazing fine dining experience here in Kelso. Piotr uses local, seasonal produce and regularly changes his creative menus to delight his customers. Tonight did not disappoint - Kelso Venison so tender and beautifully presented and the peanut butter creme brulé delicious. Honestly you will go a long way to find better. Bravo Lemon & Thyme 😋

Random booking tonight during a weekend break for the Kelso races - what a find! One of the best meals we have ever had and we’ve been to a few well regarded restaurants on our travels. Thank you.

We dined at Lemon and Thyme last evening 30th Oct and introduced two friends who have never dined here. The food was superb, tasty, succulent and we loved the spices. Friendly and efficient service and relaxing atmosphere.Pietre is doing a super job and the extended menus are attracting a great deal of admiration. Our friends are enthusiastic foodies and were very impressed with their meal and will be back again soon to enjoy more of Pietre's delights. As will we. Well done Lemon and Thyme you are up there with the best.

Managed to get on before the crowds. A very interesting small but diverse menu, I had the mussels starter which was amazing. Then the duck breast which was the best I've had. Great service and value.

Very good food. Really inventive menu and the chef was hugely accommodating in making a great kids meal. A change from the usual pub fare in Kelso and excellent drinks choice too.

Our first time here. What a fantastic little place. The atmosphere was very inviting: soft piano music, friendly staff, warm decor. And the food was excellent - fresh flavours, beautiful presentation and just so damn delicious... we will be back for sure and thank you so much.
