Out-there Artisan — Restaurant in Scotland

Seriously good! If you're in the Scottish Borders and are looking for a vibrant café offering a delightful menu of vegan and vegetarian dishes, Out-There Artisan is a must-visit 🤌❤️

The cafe is in a beatiful countryside setting, has a warm & inviting vibe, with a lovely courtyard and indoor seating area that reflects their commitment to quality (loved the copper coloured stainless steel cuttlery - nice touch!) The menu exclusively features vegetarian and vegan options and it’s clear they've a strong purpose and passion behind their food.

For lunch I had the red pepper houmus & feta filled flatbread & my partner dove into the sriracha halloumi bagel. Both dishes were not only creative & delicious, but they were also beautifully (& confidently) presented. It's strange sometimes what sticks in your head, but I got to try a bit of the bagel - the guacamoli chefs kiss 😋

What stood out most though, was the dedicated front of house & waiting staff. They worked tirelessly, stayed calm even though it was very busy & were super-friendly. They really made us feel welcomed and valued 👏

I want to give a mention to the products at the till too. You know, it's a small thing, but I don't recall there being any plastic! I liked the bee bombs (these wee guys need our help) and small-batch products from local suppliers 💚

I'm really glad we visited. Five stars for providing a lunch experience that aligns with greener lifestyles....

Great Product, fantastic location, but fell flat on their face with service. We ordered two Jelly and Gelato with strawberry sauce, the server came back and said, sorry no jelly. I was offered a cake and declined, my husband asked for just the ice cream then instead. When it arrived, it was one ball of ice cream in a bowl, no sauce and not even a small amount of ice cream extra to compensate for no jelly !! When I came to pay, I checked that they weren’t still charging full price, to which the reply came, oh yes. I said, well there was just a ball of ice cream, would you not reduce the price slightly from £5 to allow for the missing items or would you not give a little more ice cream instead. The reply was no, thats how we do it. What a con!!! £5 for a ball of ice cream....

The place is reminiscent of Japanese style cafes and set in a pleasant location.

Lots of healthy and not so healthy, mostly veggie, some vegan options.

The staff never seem that happy and spend more time telling you what can't happen, rather than celebrating the options that exist. We've never once felt welcome here, more that we're a hassle. We've noticed staff push takeaway before inviting you to a table.

The food is nice for adults, but smaller portions, so order more than you'd usually consider. For children, there are healthy options. The raw bars get left by children (not just ours).

This time we got a cake that had a topping. However, it was stuck in a bag and immediately caused the bag to deteriorate as it was a wet topping. It meant picking out...
