The best restaurants in Lymington Town New Forest South East

Lovely panini, fresh and tasty, plus a great cup of tea and tasty fresh flapjack. Lovely service and great place on the Lymington Quay front.

It might look like a cafe on the outside (if you can find it), but there’s a proper restaurant with a proper kitchen on the inside. A small but varied menu, good portions and tasty. The chef was out among the guests, taking orders and asking if all ok. Well placed confidence. We would definitely return.

The best bubble tea I’ve ever had! I tried a pineapple bubble tea with mango flavoured bubbles. It is by far the nicest bubble tea I’ve ever tried. If you are in Lymington and bubble tea then this is the place to go. I also tried the coconut flavoured milk based bubble tea as my wife had that and was equally as delightful.

Visited for a quick coffee on 6.11.24. Excellent coffee best we’ve had in a very long time. Surroundings very clean. Would thoroughly recommend. Will be back again.

We dine here most months, always taking the full tasting menu and it changes completely each month which is remarkable considering the size and complexity of the menus and - I assume - a small kitchen! A few days ago we ate the 12 days of Christmas menu which was absolutely amazing, every bite was delicious and the dishes were so imaginative. Stand out dishes were “French Hens” and “Calling Birds”!

Had a great gluten free pasty here today 👍🏻

Charming, cozy little coffee shop in a lovely location on the high street. Staff are friendly and efficient but I found the prices to be a bit too high. It's a nice place for a treat, but not ideal if you're on a budget or looking for a regular shop for your daily coffee!

Our second visit to Lymington, and we headed straight to The Cellar - where else can you get a bottle of Minuty Prestige for less than £35?! Charming service, and we also sampled the gin taster this time around - and each time we get the valuable window seat for excellent people watching. Can’t wait to return!

As usual, great food, good service oh and the view is pretty good as well. On this occasion mussels and whitebait to start followed by in-house made fish fingers and beef sandwiches with salad and fries. Worth mentioning the whitebait is not the typical tiny things these of a decent size.

A group of us dined here. Some of us had starters of Lobster and Shellfish Bisque and seafood with crab which was beautifully presented. For main courses we enjoyed Monkfish and other fish. Service was excellent as always. The only downside was that it was really cold …

Rivaaz used to be great. Had a takeaway from there and it’s gone downhill. one sauce was like water. One was too salty. The chutneys are revolting. I couldn’t eat them. Naan was burnt. I heard it changed hands. You can tell. It’s such a shame as it was the best place around before.

Staff were inattentive, slovenly and ill-kempt. Service was slow and food in general of average quality. It was much better 2 years ago.

Happened upon this place by chance and very glad we did ... great breakfast at a reasonable price along with very friendly and efficient service. Would go back in a heartbeat.

You know when you discover a gem but don't want to tell too many people because it will get too busy. Fantastic food 😋 ❤️

Have used before and definitely use again very tasty
