Time for Tea in Weymouth and Portland

Tartiflette and Chablis - France on a plate (and glass). Beautiful place, attentive staff and yummy food and drink. Made a brilliant brunch / lunch.

The most exciting and excellent food I have ever had he is truly magic when he cooks WOULD RECOMMEND 🤘🏽🤙🏼 if your ever in Weymouth go here 🙏

Me and my partner favourite place in Weymouth,The food,service and Pascal are all exceptional,definitely worth a visit if you are in Weymouth.

It's unique in Weymouth with the French menu. Often simple but lovely fresh cooked food and super service. Reasonable prices too so it's a regular stop for us in Weymouth.

Lovely lunch at pascals, crab was perfect. Visit Weymouth frequently but never visited before but will definitely be back.

Had great breakfast sitting outside in the sunshine - very generous and high quality - great staff and ambience. Looked very cosy inside for an evening meal

Not friendly to lgbt+ people They told my friends to stop kissing , and ask to leave Is 2021 I don’t recommend it

We were queuing outside for a table for 2. When a table become available we asked if this was free, the waitress asked us if we minded waiting whilst she cleared the table, we stood there whilst she cleaned the table. Just as we were going to sit down the owner came out and said in a very abrupt manner “this table is for the two people behind you, they have been waiting for it” and walked off. Maybe they had been waiting, but feel there are ways of telling someone. Would never go back just for the way he spoke and undermined his staff.

We had an amazing lunch at Pascal’s today. Delicious French and local food. The ratatouille and Croque Monsieur were perfect and the Tart Tatum was incredible. Memorable! This is a great little restaurant hidden away from the main crowds and well worth seeking out.

Fabulous little French brasserie with friendly atmosphere. The food, freshly cooked by Pascal, was delicious.

We stumbled across this lovely restaurant and it was both quirky and a wonderful ambience. Highly recommend the Croque Monsieur the food was fantastic. Staff friendly and welcoming and it felt like when I was living back in Paris.

Oh my goodness, what a find! A perfect place for lunch tucked down Cove Street. We had the tastiest fresh Portland sandwiches - so much crab on thick fresh bread. Followed by Dorset apple cake and clotted cream. Sitting outside watching the world go by made for a relaxing and enjoyable lunch.

A beautiful little Brasserie close to the harbour. Fabulous fish soup, perfectly seasoned, crisp glass of Chablis and a sparkling water. I ate outside in the sun but inside was very quaint too and playing mellow French music. Highly recommended.

Always visit here when in Dorset. Didn't come last year due to covid. However still excellent service and food. The best value crab sandwiches in the area. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely fantastic. Lovely selection of French classics. The interior is beautiful and quirky with great staff. After eating in a few places in Weymouth, we concluded that this is by far and a way the best place we visited. We enjoyed french onion soup and a tartiflette each. Both of which are better than a lot we have eaten in France. Accompanied also by french music - very relaxing. Would highly recommend this place for a lunch stop. We will be back.

Young staff really polite and excellent ! Food extremely tasty, service fantastic! Very reasonable prices , cheap I could say for the quality and taste you get! Well done !

Excellent pit stop. Perfect toasted tea cake came with lashings of butter. Sat outside watching the world go by. Good decaf americano with hot milk.

A Young man by the name of Hayden served me an a lovely croque monsiuer, great communication, i gave him a large tip to say thankyou, very well mannered boy, makes the cafe just that bit better.

There is a menus to suit all tastes and level of hunger! We had stopped for just a coffee but I'd been tempered by the tartiflette and was not disappointed. Good food reasonably priced ,so glad I'm local ,a restaurant in walking distance, brilliant

Over the summer we have tried a couple of other cafes around and about weymouth whilst out walking but none come up to the mark when comparing any of the menu items. Pascal easily does the best eggs benedict, every time I go in I plan to try something different but fail. The eggs are cooked exquisitely and the sauce is the best, the whole dish seasoned to perfection. If there is no room left over then a slice of any of the cakes always has to come home with us (the coffee & walnut remains the firm favourite). So many of Pascal's straightforward dishes leave nowhere to hide in the cooking yet every time they hit the mark. Get here if you can when in Weymouth & Portland.

Came here on a very wet and miserable day. The fish soup was just what we needed, with large croutons, great garlic mayo and cheese. Friendly service and efficient Covid arrangements. Went back again 3 days later.

Was recommended the breakfast here so while we was in Weymouth we thought we would see what the fuss is all about. Very welcoming and friendly, great selection on menu and social distancing has been really thought out. I had the big breakfast and can honestly say I wasn’t disappointed. All cooked how I would like it and very tasty. No complaints from me and will definitely be returning when in Weymouth again. Keep up the good work ❤️

Stopped for breakfast on our last day of holiday and wished we'd discovered them earlier as the breakfast was so good. I had ham and poached eggs on gluten free bread and my partner had the full english. Poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the ham was amazing - a roasted and hand carved ham joint - thick cut and full of flavour. The most delicious ham I think I've ever had. The gluten free bread was also really good. My partner is a trained chef and said the scrambled eggs in the full english were how 'you are suppose to cook them', which is praised indeed. Excellent service as well, from polite young staff. Next time we are in Weymouth, we'll be back.

My husband and I had a delicious 3 course takeaway dinner from Pascal's Brasserie on Friday night. Takeaway is offered once a month (as collection only) and it is really worth doing.It was authentic French dining (but at home!) and the food was very tasty.Portion sizes were large and lots of care was taken in the packaging to ensure food was kept warm for the way home.The starter was smoked duck with figs, and mains were quail and dauphinoise potatoes or bouillabaisse with cod, red mullet and prawns. The chocolate tart pudding was yummy too. Would definitely recommend!

We sat outside and tried this cafe, I had the kippers with poached eggs and toast, was absolutely brilliant thick buttered toast on quality bread with 2 excellent poached eggs which were obviously quality eggs being used here, a different brunch to try but would have again no problem.

Popped in for early lunch. Both had the croque monsieur and a glass of Chablis, excellent food and service.

Affordable, comfortable and very good food. Better food than I experienced in France and the service was exceptional.

We visit here every time we come to weymouth which is a few times a year. The food is always of fantastic quality. I highly reckon kippers with poached eggs for breakfast. Seating inside and out and great service during the current pandemic. All tables were sanitised before we were seated. Will be back on our next visit in October.

Thoroughly recommend excellent freshly cooked food. Had the Vegetable and Goats Cheese Tart excellent presentation with Cole slaw and salad. Partner had vegan special ratatouille with chunky toast and olive tapenade. Very good portions.

Amazing breakfast/brunch sadly they had run out of Croissants but the Food was so good and all cooked fresh. The best GF bread I have ever had and really good quality coffee. Will definitely go back when in Weymouth. Didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day!!

Best cake in Weymouth. Lovely lunch menu too. Fab service. Went several times on recent holiday. Definitely recommend a visit.

The breakfast is fantastic eat that and you will not eat for the rest of the day. Very good vegetarian food and decent strong tea. Have been going for years.

Worst cream tea we’ve ever had. So called scones were basically pieces of cake cut into squares. Scones have a lovely crust all over, theses were dry crumbly cake, very disappointed.

Called for breakfast one morning and on the whole it was great. It was the best sausage I've had for years, good scrambled egg, black pudding & decent, if not a little strong coffee. The replacement of bacon with slices of thick rather fatty cooked ham though is just wrong. I did my best to give it a chance but couldn't manage it all & that's not like me. I can only imagine it's a nod to a French breakfast of some region or other. Not for me though. All served by a very polite waiter.

Always a warm welcome and wonderful food. Been visiting this friendly French brasserie for many years and have never been disappointed whether for brilliant breakfasts, lovely lunches or delicious dinners. One of my favourite places to eat !

Its never nice to have to write a negative review and for the most part reviews are positive, but I was insulted in front of my family and other customers after this restaurant got our order wrong, rather than offering a discount off the dish we didnt order but ate anyway, the owner was rude and shouted at me outside the restaurant before waving the receipt in my face and telling me not to pay at all. His choice, not ours. He spent much time talking to locals but never said a word to us. No one has ever spoken to me so rudely at a restaurant, it was quite upsetting and shocking, my son is 3 1/2 years old and was quite upset by this tirade for the rest of the day . The waiter could not admit his errors and seemed terrified to do anything about them. Verbal abuse from anyone is not acceptable, especially when a family has come for a quiet lunch and is spending good money on food and wine

just nowWe visited your place on 9/8/20 We sat down ordered our lunch /breakfast which I will say was very nice at 11.30am .We were not asked for any names for track and trace at all which we found very worrying. The young waiter was very helpful and very polite ,could not do enough for us ,but for the other guy that was working with him which I guess the manager,,was very rude. He kept giving us dirty looks as we had pulled 2 tables together , but we were in our bubble of 5 ,no signs saying we couldn't do this. Then we over heard him have a go at the young waiter about it , which was not nice it was not his fault. The manager should of spoken to us instead of assuming that the young waiter hadn't told us not to as we were all together. Then when we were leaving the manager had another go at him I think he thought we were going to walk off without paying, we felt so sorry for the young guy.We will not be going back again with a manager like that very disappointed Well done to the young guy for serving us you done a brillant job.

Lovely food and setting. The trout crumble and tartiflette were superb, rounded off with a lovely tarte aux fraises. Having spent a week in Dorset this was by far the best meal.

Breakfast - salmon and scrambled eggs 9/10 Lunch - crab salad & Chablis 9/10Excellent service and food, a great friendly vibe reminded me of the film “a good year”, outside eating relaxed atmosphere as tables would talk with one another. A perfect place to take a partner, potentially a future date location. Worthy of the 10% tip I thought.

We chanced upon this place by accident one lunch time but are so glad we did. Absolutely delicious food and glorious cakes. We’ll be back, many times!

Was going to pop in for a coffee around 10, but spotted that they did kippers for breakfast so it had to be that! Great little place, location and good value for money. Will be back for more!

Outstanding. Menu simple and understated. I would challenge you to find wine this good at this price north of Calais.

Absolutely stunning meal! The quality of food was second to none, fabulous...luckily enough to enjoy this by the harbour.. so many flavours in each course, delicious!! Wish I had room for more!! Booking in for next month definitely! Best bistro Weymouth by far xxxx

We have enjoyed visiting Pascal's Brasserie (aka Time for Time) everytime we visit Weymouth. In fact a visit to Weymouth would not be complete without eating here! Their breakfasts are out of this world and the best breakfast we have ever had anywhere (UK and overseas). We have been coming here for years since our friends moved to Weymouth and every time wonder at how delicious Pascal's breakfasts are. He uses fresh local produce which is beautifully cooked and presented, the portions are generous and the coffee so good. You are never hurried and the ambience is warm and inviting and relaxed. It is a perfect way to start your morning and ease into the day. We are looking forward to our next visit and also hope to eat at Pascal's in the evening too as the dinner menu looks fantastic too. Pascal is also an accomplished artist (he is having an exhibition on 2 Dec in the Brasserie) and you can buy his artwork there too. A big thank you Pascal and your team for another welcoming and excellent breakfast! We are looking forward to our next visit to you. With best wishes, Jill & Warren from Torquay.

Visited our favourite restaurant for lunch. French cuisine at it's best. Excellent food, cooking and service by Pascal. We ordered the French Goat Cheese Toastie followed by the Belgian Chocolate Coconut Brownie. Can not recommended these enough. Excellent value and just simply perfect.

We visited for lunch last Friday and it was absolutely delicious. We were made to feel extremely welcome and the service was excellent. I had a croque monsieur which was very filling and tasty and we finished lunch off with a toffee croissant which was one of the most delicious desserts i've eaten in a long time.There was the most delicious range of cakes as well and we look forward to returning again to try something different.Highly recommend and many thanks Pascal.

Come to Weymouth a few times a year,and most days we visit Time for Tea,Excellent Breakfast,Ham and Poached Eggs Delicious,Excellent Lunchtime menu,and not to forget the amazing home made cakes,don’t miss out on this Excellent little Gem.

Just had a very nice cream tea in this delightful little cafe. Very clean and relaxing atmosphere. All cakes home made. Evening meals available on occasions, look out for dates. Next one 20/9. Prices very reasonable.

We visit time for tea every time we visit Weymouth. Breakfast is excellent the dinner is very good and we sometimes have evening meal here service is fantastic and very friendly and welcoming and cakes are out of this world

It’s a sun trap! Somewhere you’d happily sit most of the day! I met a couple of friends there and we ate beautiful goats cheese and bacon salads, gorgeous almond Victoria sponge. We drank cidre, and a good quality house wine, along with a huge pot of fragrant earl grey tea. All of which was of nothing but the finest quality. Staff are friendly and the food came quickly. Will be back every time in Weymouth. Love it!

The tea was like dish water. Cheap cost cutters rubbish. It never used to be like that. The food is now limited and hugely overpriced. The cheapest sandwich was over £7.00! we won't bother again. These places start well then of course their need to maximise profits make them use the cheapest products to dish out to the "tourists". It isn't good in the long run as they have lost two more customers.

Ate twice here, for tea/cake and for breakfast, both of which was very nice. Service is good but be prepared to wait some time for your food as it is all freshly prepared. I would recommend the Tarte Tatin,

After a lovely day wandering along the promenade and exploring the harbour we decided to look for a lunch option.

Had a fish soup which was good an wanted order a cake for after lunch. The team was so slow that I decided not to order more and get the bill. It took them too long (for me) to prepare the bill. Food is good but service need to speed up.

We went to the seafood festival and found a good place for seafood soup. In fact the restaurant is rather famous for cream tea and home made pastries but the fish soup looked lovely so that we ordered it. We chose each the seafood soup and shared a crap salad. We both drank a cider and payed approximately 37 pounds. The waiters were ok but rather inattentive. Especially the young waitress didn’t see the waiting customers and we had to ask her several times. Service 2 stars, good 4 Stars

If you want decent, reasonably-priced food in Weymouth that isn't fish and chips, options are limited. I'm very glad I came across Pascals (as it is now called I believe). Inside, it's all quaint wood panelling and china cups; outside it's a nice terrace with a view across the spacious Hope Square and impressive old brewery building. We had the French onion soup and the fish soup, with a smooth bottle of French red. Both soups were excellent, particularly the fish soup, which came with chunky croutons, aioli and gruyere. Prices were very reasonable, service was good. I would definitely go back to sample more of the menu.

This restaurant in such a superb location is perfect for breakfast, lunch and tea with delicious home cooked meals and cakes all made by the owner, Pascal. The atmosphere is delightful and as I'm a vegan Pascal kindly did lovely roasted tomatoes on toast for breakfast. The menu has choices for all including a tasty vegan lunch option. Highly recommended - you won't be disappointed.

I'll keep this brief. 1. Loved the ambience. 2. Looked authentic & great value. 3. Hugely inexperienced waiter. 4. Arrogant owner 5. Supermarket rubbery Mackerel. 6. Freezing cold Dressed Crab which gave absolutely no flavour. 7. Cheap bread.

We went for Sunday breakfast this was our second visit after about a year and found it as delightful as before the atmosphere is of a French cafe . The food was delicious perfect poached eggs wonderful ham and excellent coffee. The staff are polite and efficient. We enjoy it because it is something a bit difficult in Weymouth. A classy but not posh place for breakfast. My partner felt the sausage was too herby but didn’t leave any !! We will go back again.

Told by an inexperienced young waiter to sit up stairs for table of five ,then got moved to accommodate other people then asked to move again and told by a extremely stroppy Frenchman we shouldn't be in the place at all because there is five of us we explained what had happened to him and got a volley of a use so we left worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant

Okay, it's not completely hidden but it's quite a small place in Hope square so it's easy to miss but well worth a stop for lunch.

Simply THE best place for lunch in Weymouth. Simple French Brasserie food done to absolute perfection by the French Chef/Patron. Reasonable prices. Great service and lovely staff. Cannot speak highly enough of this utter little gem.

Now advertised as Pascal's Brasserie, we had a light lunch at Pascal's in September whilst touring around Dorset. The food was excellent. The menu was very attractive. If I lived in Dorset, I would be dining there every second week!

Have eaten here three times this year.Never disappointed. Delicious food, very reasonably priced and lovely staff.

About once a month, time for tea opens in the evening and becomes Pascale's Brasserie serving fine French food. With friends visiting from Scotland we thought we had struck lucky that the event fell on their weekend in Weymouth. As a table of 8 we were lucky to be given the top dining room to ourselves - we felt very special on arrival. As a vegetarian I had been informed the menu was limited so had contacted the venue in advance to confirm an option would be available. It was not shown (or even alluded to - vegetarian option available) on the menu making me feel a little awkward having to ask. For my friends there were 2 choices for each course.

Popped in for lunch one breezy day in September. Portland crab sandwich made to order with a pot of Earl Grey tea. It was amazing! Trust me, you will not be disappointed in this place.

Now called Pascal's Brassiere a really excellent place for breakfast. 7 of us met there for breakfast/brunch on a Sunday morning and definately one of the best breakfast in town. The quality of the bacon and sausages was excellent.

I hadn't been to Time for Tea or Pascals as the owner now calls it for a number of years ,but I wasnt disappointed, the food was as fresh & delicious as ever ....the cakes really are exquisite & the gentle french music makes for a lovely ambience.

After a six year absence from Weymouth I was delighted to find Time For Tea exactly as I remembered. The name change to Pascal’s Brassiere is superficial as the menu, ambience, quality and sheer excellence remains. It was very quiet as I ordered the wonderful Croque Monsieur and a never ending pot of delicious breakfast tea. I’ve never had to season any meal at Time for Tea as the salads are the elegantly dressed and the meals well balanced. I enjoyed my lunch and couldn’t resist the slice of almond Victoria sponge- simply delicious. I’m in town for a week and I suspect I’ll be spending a fair few hours here!

A day trip to Weymouth with my husband. We had a wonderful lunch enjoyed in the sun in the outside seating area. The crab salad was amazing and such a generous portion, with a delicious dressed salad, I had the crab baguette, once again a very generous helping, salad and coleslaw. The service was excellent, a very friendly waitress, nothing was too much trouble. I only wish I had room for the apple cake, but that means I can visit again. We had the added bonus of a very accomplished guitar playing busker, altogether we had a great time. Thank you

Had the most wonderful gluten free sandwich. Excellent service and very friendly and attentive staff.

Our first visit to Weymouth and we happened to find Time For Tea, Pascal's Brasserie and what a find, we shall come back for breakfast, lunch and dinner - maybe not on the same day though!

Been a while since using Pascals brasserie, excellent brunch, quality produce at excellent price, top service, will have to use on more regular basis.

Pascals Brasserie does amazing evening meals one weekend a month and I would recommend you to book in advance and make time for it. A small menu cooked to perfection, the bouillabaisse is difficult to deny with tasty fresh fish which never disappoints. During the day the Eggs Benedict remains my favourite Weymouth breakfast and the homemade cakes are always tempting. Moist fresh Victoria sponge, light full flavoured Coffee & Walnut and the Chocolate & Hazelnut is divine.

We went there for lunch after seeing reviews. Don't be fooled by the unassuming look of the building outside. Inside is a little gem. We ate upstairs where the décor definitely has an old fashion French feel. They were playing old French CDs too which created a nice ambiance.

Tried this out for lunch today as the menu looked good. Unfortunately I dared to say that the elderflower cordial was very small and double the price of the squashes so asked for more. The owner then served our food with a very disgruntled manner and then charged me for 2 drinks and told me to read the menu properly next time. He was just so unfortunately unpleasant that it has put us off returning even though the food was good. So go here but don't complain about anything or you'll suffer the consequences!

Amazing little place we went in first time and had breakfast I had scrambled egg with salmon my father in law had small breakfast and other family member had eggs florentine with coffee and soft drinks the price is perfect and food is filling food is all cooked fresh and excellent will definitely go back again.

Pascal runs a monthly evening where he delves into his French roots and serves up a delicious set menu of classic French treats. We went in March with friends and the meal was so good that we asked to go on the waiting list for the following month (yes there is a waiting list) the food is that good. Make sure you leave some room for dessert they will blow your mind.

This is a small restaurant near Brewer's Square away from the crowds in the middle of Weymouth. The food is very good and is all freshly cooked to order. The majority of menu items are light snacks and soups with a French/Mediterranean influence. (Toasties with a difference). All are served piping hot. If you have enough room there are also some delicious home made gateaux or scones to chose from. The staff are very friendly and will help with any queries. It is quite small but on two levels and can get quite busy around lunchtime (not sure if you can book). They generally close in the evening but on some dates do open for dinner.

Beautiful, quaint little cafe, fullnof charm.the food is simple, yet utterly delicious!. Portions are very generous too, but maybe a good thing, as we didn't have anyvroom left for the mouthwatering aeay of cakes on offer!

Pascal's Brasserie is charming. With upstairs dining as well, you can escape into an oasis of peace. We particularly liked the fact that Pascal's pictures are displayed on the elegant paneled walls.

Although this is a tea and cake shop the menu also has some delicious French food on offer. I asked if the chef could upgrade the Croque Monsieur to a Madame and he was happy to do so. Absolutely delicious. The Cumberland sausages with lentils and chutney were also good. The coffee and hot chocolate were really tasty. Finally we had some warm Dorset Apple cake with clotted cream. Need I say more. Well worth a visit.

A very nice relaxed french resturant.A nice small menu of french food and well presented and tasty drinks.

This is the second time we've managed to get to these event and each time have been so impressed with the quality, quantity and beauty of the food.

All freshly cooked to order. Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs great. Eggs Florentine perfectly cooked. Will definitely return.

Went for breakfast for the first time and loved it. Lovely little place, staff great, food great, place great! Just great 😁

Perfect little place. Everything home cooked and wonderfully prepared. Deserves to be very successful. Don't miss the fish soup

Called in again when back in Dorset this week. Now called Pascals Brasserie. Food still excellent as is the service.

Beautiful and very, very good food, as well as the cakes and cream teas. The food is obviously made in the premises and it pays off. They will refill your coffee or tea, very impressive.

This is honestly the best cafe in Weymouth and a little hidden gem. The homemade cakes are amazing and the pots of tea go on forever. All the food has that French 'je ne sais quoi' as the owner and chef clearly puts passion into everything he makes. I go here every time I visit weymouth even if it's only for a pot of tea and watch the world go by. I cannot honestly fault anything

Called the brasserie (now called Pascal's Brasserie) before visiting to enquire whether the brasserie was dog friendly.

Shame it takes a French man to show the English what a real fry up should be. I go here every time I'm in Weymouth and it never disappoints. The menu choice is fantastic, I mean kippers how great is that.

Finally managed to book a table for one of their evening meal nights (only do two a month). Menu was great, with two options for starter, main and desert, was actually nice not to have a huge amount to choose from! I went for ham and melon for starter (proper retro) and my partner had a trio of duck. Both were excellent, as was the Bouillabaisse we both had for main. The strawberry tart I had for desert was also amazing, and the wines were very good. Our waitress was very attentive and we had a great night. Now we've had breakfast, lunch and dinner here, we both agree it is one of the best places to eat in Weymouth!

Had a lovely cream tea for six of us. Fantastic scones and tea in pots that never seem to get cold. Also a good selection of cakes and none of it will break the bank. Kids loved it!

Each year my family goes to Weymouth and this (now called Pascal's Brasserie, I think?) is our favourite place for breakfast or afternoon cakes. My health has faded during the years and my diet is very limited. The wonderful chef, Pascal, makes the best poached eggs, that I have plain but you can have with many different accompaniments, for breakfast along with tea cakes, small breakfasts, and lots more. For afternoon tea his handmade cakes, including yummy Dorset apple cake, and scones hit the spot. Lunches look beautiful and filling even though I haven't personally sampled them. We continue to come back year after year and hope to for the foreseeable future. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Called in whilst walking around the old harbour area. Lovely Coffee and the homemade cakes looked delightful. Coffee and Walnut cake was delicious. Waitress was pleasant and the seating area was nice.

Came here during a local event. Was able to enjoy the music while enjoying a lovely coffee and cake. It was so nice we came back a second day to sample the lunch. It has a small menu that is well priced with a little of everything and friendly staff.

Thanks again for a lovely lunch . Whenever I am down from Scotland I look forward to visiting this lovely little French cafe . Reasonably priced, great French themed food & always friendly & welcoming . Can't wait for my next visit . Thank you Pascal & team .

Dropped in to Time for Tea just before closing.

Lovely home cooked food and wonderful cakes. Very tasty indeed. I had French onion soup with toasted crusty cheesey bread, daughters had lovely home made doorstop sandwiches and hubby had cream tea. All enjoyed the food here.
