Called in for coffee with some vegan friends. With no prompting, the waiter suddenly twigged we were all probably vegan (well two soy lattes and a black Americano is a clue) and replaced our complementary chocolate with Love Hearts. I found that incredibly thoughtful and kind and friendly! Now all we need you to do is to make something we can eat as well! It would be really good to see the menu board and menu highlight things that can be eaten by those who only wish to eat plant based foods.
Had two fantastic meals here. Mathew the waiter was so helpful, couldn't do enough for us. My sons 21st birthday was yesterday and they sorted a complementary cake out as a surprise for him. The food was excellent and by far the best we had in the area. Thanks to Matt for making our time that extra bit special x

Lovely meal here for our anniversary, excellent waiting staff,very attentive, meal was gorgeous, steak cooked to excellence-compliments to the chef. We will be back soon.
Had a party of friends to meet relatives from US on Saturday. Very considerate of the needs of a disabled guest, great food and service. Highly recommend to everyone .
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal there tonight. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.
We go in every week before doing our shopping and always enjoy the home baking. Occasionally have a meal too and have never been disappointed yet. Staff are excellent.
Gluten and Dairy free lunch today. Although it is becoming more popular and some establishments do adjust their meals (where they can) to provide for those with food intolerances, it was refreshing and a comfort to eat here today. Love a separate gluten free menu :)
Thank you :)
Lovely Meal and great attentive staff. Will definately be back and would recommend everyone to go
great service,super food,always made to feel welcome,no better place for a special night out.
Lovely meal on Saturday night! Sea Bass dish must be the best around and the Loin of Lamb just amazing flavour!! This restaurant truly is a little gem here in the Scottish Borders and well worth a visit...or two...definitely three... !!!
We celebrated our wedding reception at Quins this weekend. Sylvia and her team excelled in hospitality, efficiency, professionalism. The food was very tasty. We can highly recommend Quins. Thank you for making our wedding lunch special & delicious!
A nice place to go to have tea and cake but this time decided to go for an evening meal . We had a lovely welcome where we were shown to our seats the service was excellent. We didn't have to wait too long before our delicious food arrived. There was just the right atmosphere for a relaxed and enjoyable evening.
Highly recommended and thank you to the staff for making us so welcome.
Great menu, lovely helpful staff. Amazing value for money. Food was delicious 😋 highly recommend a visit.
Very nice food, good price and very friendly service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend.
Lunch was very enjoyable. Portion sizes are good, Staff serving were nice an very helpful
Overall it was ... nice - food is generous and homely albeit very poorly balanced dishes. I tried the Goats Cheese starter and Roast Beef as the main. Both were tasty, but lacked texture, balance and wow factor to them. The cheese came with a beautiful dressing, and the tiniest pieces of lettuce you'll ever see. Little less cheese, few more leaves and it would have been an exceptional dish. I came here specifically for their salmon dish, still on their website but no longer on the menu. So a little disappointed too.
Maybe I'm expecting too much considering the prices of food these days, but it's on the top end of prices in the borders and I expected a little more from the dishes.
The younger lady who served me was inexperienced and abrupt, but did the job. There was another waitress working when I visited and she was far friendlier and more welcoming.
If you're looking for a laid back, nice meal, it's the place to come.
Delicious food served by really friendly staff. Highly recommended!
Food was excellent. Staff were very friendly. I'll go again

Good food, friendly helpful staff
Came here today for my brother's birthday.
I can honestly say that when we came in we were a bit unaware of how good the whole experience was.
I ordered the cajun chicken toasties that came with a side salad and coleslaw and my brother got a soup with a haggis starter and chips. We also had a latte and a banana milkshake. This was all very nice and I was so happy with my choice, as the chicken was nicely cooked and the toasties were warm and crunchy.
The customer experience was also great, I believe the lady who owns the place/manager was very nice and genuine.
She spoke to us and she seemed to actually enjoy spending her time and doing what she was doing.
I also finished my coleslaw and salad after having my first toastie and she was kind enough to give me seconds.
We were deeply impressed with the restaurant and with our experience there.
Definitely recommend this to everyone that visits Galashiels :D you won't regret it!
The Gala Breakfast was absolutely delicious! The bacon was good and the sausages were yummy. I’d 100% recommend it. One of the best breakfasts I have had. Thank you!
I recommend the French toast for breakfast. Prices are excellent. I hope to visit again in future.
If I were forced to pick anything to criticise Quins over it is that in the eight years of regular travelling into Galashiels they somehow have managed to hide their glowing light under that proverbial bushel. On the point of leaving my Borders' home once and for all I visited this gem of a restaurant for the first time today. My loss, obviously. The service here is prompt, very efficient and the food is lovely and fresh. I'd like to make a special mention of the apple pie: just like my mother used to make, ever so slightly tart and full of fruit. Excellent. Now that Gala hosts The Great Scottish Tapestry I envisage that Quins will go from strength to strength. I hope to return...
Few things i had to order as extras which I think should have been in the price anyway but... I could not fault the perfect standard that each element was consistently cooked to! Good source of quality ingredients. I would go back and recommend this place.
Always friendly service, good food at reasonable prices... Visit regularly, never had any problems.
Happy to recommend...
Beautiful meals and staff are very attentive too. Loved it😋
Delicious food, friendly staff.
