Adam Room Restaurant

Located in the heart of Peebles, The Tontine Hotel is a wonderful way to get closer to pristine nature and immerse yourself in active outdoor pursuits like mountain biking, walking and golfing, and for others it could be a well-deserved time of relaxation enjoying one of their 36 ensuite bedrooms. But most would agree that a meal at Adam Room Restaurant just about completes the experience.

Designed along Georgian lines with minstrels' gallery and a working fireplace, settle for some traditional Scottish fare, that could include  leek and potato broth, or a platter of smoked salmon with lemon and capers. Small or large plates of gateau of haggis, neeps and tatties with grain mustard cream could follow, or perhaps a sea bass fillet, oven roasted with lemon butter and served on a tartare of avocado, prawn, spring onions, lime juice and mixed leaves. A sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce could help round things off in style.
