The Galley Café in Poole

Our second Valentines Day at Thirteen (with plenty of visits in between)! All the tables were full, so I think we'd better book for 2026.... Amazing as always. We had the lunchtime taster menu; I'll just describe the first course: a tiny, glistening samosa. It slipped from my fingers on to the plate, so I licked my fingers. Bang! The whole tasting experience began there and continued to the last course, a wonderful ginger cake creation. My wife Sue is vegan, and every course, as ever, is so cleverly crafted and delivered with a justifiably proud flourish by the chef responsible. She always feels she has a brigade of chefs cooking just for her. This wasn't a meal, it was another life experience. Thank you 13!

Great food, good quality and we did not have to wait long. The staff is very kind and they all have a smile on their faces. They have humor and we loved that. Krish is very clever and a funny guy. Harikala has such a nice laugh !!

I've been here a few times now since they have opened and the food has been fantastic every time... I highly recommend the loaded fries 😋, they are definitely my favourite. The staff are amazing and the service is always right on the money, I can't recommend highly enough.

Four does great breakfast. Hash browns are on point.
