Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stopped off in Peebles whilst on a weekend away in the Borders and stumbled across Osso when walking through the town. The tapas-style menu was very appealing, indeed, with some great sounding dishes featured. The menu was presented to us by a gentleman who was...incredibly welcoming and polite. His service was outstanding. (I think his name was Paul). We decided to have the soup and sandwich (half and half) dish for lunch. The soup (cream of cauliflower and cheddar) was delicious, homemade and packed with flavour. The sandwich was fantastic, lightly toasted, fresh bread with a super filling (bacon, cheese and chilli jam). The cafetière of coffee was excellent. Behind the bar, I noticed some great looking wines. All-in-all, based on our experience I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. Well done Team Osso. 👍🏻👏🏻More

Popped in for lunch and plenty of evidence of happy faces eating delicious food. Had a multitude of dishes including the whipped tofu, tempura broccoli, Korean cauliflower, cured trout and a delightful stem ginger desert. I have to say that every bit was utterly delicious....My wife previously booked a table for staff night out and was not disappointed. I enjoyed the food so much I’m booking again for a night out. Well worth a visit. The whipped Tofu is to die for…More

We dined here at the weekend . We’d read all the amazing reviews on this forum so were excited to try . We arrived to only one other table on a Saturday night ( should have been a warning ) and were seated . We...ordered around 7 dishes and awaited their arrival . The bread and butter arrived first we’d read the butter was home made . All I could taste was salt . Didn’t enjoy so passed on anymore . A few more dishes arrived the Parmesan custard ( yup you read that right ) was a gloopy mess of overly salted cheese with soggy leeks . Awful , the Welsh rarebit and crab arrives , was burnt on the bottom so hard to cut , the first taste !!! SALT ! Yet again . Inedible . The waiter ( and older fellow ) pressed as to why we’d not touched it , we made polite excuses , then the mackerel arrived . First bite all I can taste is orange ( no mention of said oranges on the menu ) really didn’t work , by this point I’d given up . The chips arrived and were so salty I just laughed . I did enjoy listening to the older lady answer the phone , roll her eyes and then bitch to the other staff that the guest that just cancelled there on the phone only done so as they didn’t swap his time booking . ( he got off lucky I can tell you ) Few other dishes arrived , I didn’t bother and my other half tried and said all over seasoned and way too salty . Over all this reeks of a chef gone wild with a confused and very odd mix of styles and elements in a hotch potch of plates . We had to leave due to a family emergency and didn’t get a chance to offer up feed back , we did email the restaurant directly pre leaving negative reviews to receive a one sentence response , no apology . Very arrogant considering the industry is on its knees . I’ve had the pleasure of eating all round the world and have worked under and alongside some of the countries best chefs , at 5 star , 5 red star and Michelin star and this was by far the worst meal i have ever had to sit thru . Avoid .More

Great meal with friends, lovely staff, nice drinks list. Relaxed feel. Best mussel chowder/ mussel dish I have ever had in my life. Would go back just for that. Some dishes were a bit off base, but on the whole, fantastic value for money.

Had a wonderful meal at Osso every dish was unique with great flavours. My favourites were the chicken wings and beef tacos. The service was also brilliant with the staff just wanting you to have the best experience possible. Would definitely go back

Excellent food and service at Osso. Tapas style food with a varied choice. Lively atmosphere tonight as well. If we lived closer we’d definitely come back. Too bad they won’t deliver Hogmanay box to Yorkshire!!!

The style is tapas with Mediterranean/Oriental flavours. Might seem fancy but it is the ideal way to serve this food. All the dishes are so tasty, fresh and well balanced, that you want to try as many as possible...so tapas is ideal. Every dish is...distinct but no dish clashes with any other. The menu is executed superbly. This is not just the best restaurant in Peebles, its the best in the Borders. So why does it not show at top in TripAdvisor. Well, the top two aren't restaurants at all, they are hotels (including one that lists Macaroni cheese with chips as a main course - that's a canteen!). They don't even show as restaurants on google.More

Absolutely fantastic meal at Osso! We were staying at the Hydro and decided to see what other dining options were available in Peebles. Luckily for us we managed to get a table at Osso and what a superb meal we had. Other reviews have suggested...the Korean cauliflower and if you dine here you have to try it - it was amazing. All of the dishes we had were great - some really fantastic flavour combinations. The staff were so friendly and welcoming - it really was an evening that will live long in the memory!More

This was our third trip in recent years and if possible, it was even better! The menu and service have always been amazing and this time the ox tongue and the crispy Korean cauliflower were outstanding! Every time we order more than we need but...so many dishes to try. We need more holidays in the area just so we can return to Osso!More

They would struggle to make something nice. Coleman’s had a better choice of vegan options and can make a regular dish vegan if required.
