Outstanding experience. Friendly, down to earth wait staff. Very casual atmosphere. We were lucky enough to get a same day RESERVATION. It?s a small place so I was told you can?t get in without one. We witnessed that as we saw 3 different parties turned away. If you?re still reading this, stop and make a reservation. You have to call, as the web link takes you to the owner?s personal page (a little weird) I don?t know if their menu varies but I?d strongly recommend the French onion soup, the smoked duck salad, short ribs and especially the Sole so delicate and buttery it will melt in your mouth. 3 course meal with wine for under £100. It was worth triple the price.

Booked for my partner's birthday as we know it's a little gem of a place and as always, we weren't disappointed. In fact, we raved about the meal all night! The goats cheese tartlet was a particular highlight. The food is delicious and amazing value for money and the welcome is warm. You will not be disappointed

We eat here regularly - the set menu is delicious and great value, though you do need all three courses to fill you up.

We ate here twice during our 5 night holiday visit to Selkirk. It would have been more but we couldn't get a table for other nights! The food is fabulous and Tracey and her team are so friendly and welcoming. The menu is incredible value for money, I don't know how they do it! Don't forget to book, you won't regret it.

French bistro style with a prix fixe menu which I understand changes monthly. Very busy the evening we ate there (and slightly noisy) yet the service was good. All six of our party agreed that the food was good and well presented. Recommended.

Spontaneous visit after a recommendation. I could have picked anything and enjoyed. Classic French bistro best sums up the offering and very good wine list by glass or bottle. I believe you can tell if someone loves their work, in cooking terms, caring about what leaves the kitchen and is presented to the diner. Whether a bacon buttie or a Michelin starred soufflé you can tell if the cook cares about their work. For my first course I opted for the asparagus and mushroom salad with. French vinaigrette dressing. For my main .. rump of lamb on perfect fondant potato. Succulent a perfectly cooked the cook, Trevor Ward, is skilled and can execute these classics with aplomb. Two glasses of a pleasing Malbec made for a thoroughly enjoyable lunch. I will return again soon.

Had lunch at The Number One Bistro today. We had the warm salad of asparagus and mushrooms, and, the panko crumb fishcake with creamed leeks, both of which were exceptionally tasty. For mains, we both had the rump of lamb, our favourite meat, which was cooked to perfection, with a jus, that was the finest I've ever tasted. Our waitress, who I believe is the daughter of the owner? !! was exceptionally pleasant. Looking forward to my next visit. Would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed if you enjoy high standards of cuisine.

Travelling from Glasgow for an overnight in MELROSE. We decided to stop in Selkirk. We asked a local to recommend somewhere to have some lunch. How lucky were we to find this restaurant. So impressed with the menu and staff. We had a delicious meal.. Nothing we could complain about. Definitely recommend this restaurant..
