Provender
Provender Restaurant & Bar
A family-run restaurant on Melrose's High Street, once a Michelin Bib Gourmand and now listed in the Michelin Guide, serving Scottish produce with classic French technique.
Located at the west end of Melrose High Street and run by a local chef who worked in London under Pierre Koffmann. The cooking is hearty and full-flavoured, and the prices are fair. Awarded a Bib Gourmand in 2019 and listed in the Michelin Guide since 2025. Signature dishes include Cumbrae oysters, Borders lamb loin with Provençal vegetable stew, and North Sea cod with Orkney crab, plus roast beef with Yorkshire pudding on Sundays. Vegetarian and vegan options also get good reviews. Around £30–45 per person; book ahead at weekends. About a 5-minute walk from Melrose Abbey.
