We are located in the wonderful Royal Burgh of Peebles in the heart of the Scottish Borders. Please explore our website, visit our blog or visit the Facebook page to see what we can offer you. From long lazy lunches with friends, a romantic dinner for two, a special celebration meal, innovative outside catering, our exciting new project - ready made meals to heat up at home, our gift range (including our best selling cook books and our dressings and relishes) and our new blog where you can catch up with all our foodie adventures. We are a family friendly restaurant and not only welcome children but actually love the buzz of the family eating experience. As mountain bikers ourselves and with close links to the finest mountain biking centre in the UK - The Hub in the Forest, we welcome bikers with open arms. There really is something for everyone at the Sunflower.

Warmest regards

If Val Brunton ever takes a busman's holiday and cooks for friends at home, it would almost certainly be just like eating at the Sunflower. Her personal style pervades every aspect of her sunny little restaurant, from the relaxed but on-the-ball service to the zesty flavours that characterise her cooking. Her menu is well served by her local butcher, baker and wine-merchant, and she has a magpie instinct for round-the-world inspiration plus a knack of lifting vegetarian dishes from poor relation status. The Sunflower's day begins with coffee and home-baking, then moves on to soups, warm deli sandwiches and a daily hot special. Dinner is served Thursday through Saturday, and starts early enough to suit pre-theatre diners heading for a show at the Eastgate. You might have a toasty fritter of sweet potato, feta and spring onion with a fragrant curry dip, followed by rack of lamb, juicily pink beneath its delicious wisp of sweet, crispy fat. To follow, perhaps a slice of buttery pastry filled with fig, honey and almond, or pear and pistachio, with a dinky jug of pouring cream on the side. Bright cooking, meticulous sourcing and an easy atmosphere make this wee restaurant an all-round sunny experience"
