The best restaurants in Shaftesbury Central North Dorset South West

We love Gusto's, great coffee and fab food, 100% better than any of the high street chain coffee bars..... thank you Gusto's .

The best cheese toasty, we were looked after so well and they were happy with two large dogs under the table (mostly ). Great service and all round recommendation.

Great little addition to Shaftesbury high street. They are dog friendly too! Lovely food and pastries. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

A very nice place to stay in Shaftsbury. Lovely breakfast and pleasant staff.

Friendly staff and a nice place with a terrace.

The best location but sadly not the best experience! Very underwhelming place no attention to detail with decor/ crockery etc a bit tatty Scones very average , cream was spoiled and had a cheesy tang so inedible . Staff were nice and gave us another portion of cream but it was still unedible and no body came back to recheck . This place needs an update and some vision .

Absolutely LOVED our vegan brunch!! And the fried bread - my goodness, what a treat!! If we lived closer, we would be here every weekend. Love that our doggy was catered for too, thank you!

HIGHLY recommend checking out this cafe! The staff are all so wonderful and were very accommodating to our party of 7 on a busy morning. The food and coffee are so delicious - a lovely English Breakfast to kick start our UK trip. Plus the atmosphere is beautiful, both inside and out

Visited for the first time today. Best fish and chips we've had in quite a few years. Best in Shaftesbury. Fantastic staff, very friendly. Fantastic food. Fish cooked perfect. Batter was outstanding. Chips were absolutely lush! Curry sauce was a very good size and all very tasty. Found our new fish and chips shop!

Love popping to Shaftesbury plenty of lovely shops we started feeling hungry so popped in to the cafe met with a smile, we found Shaftesbury a lovely friendly place i ordered beans on toast and a fry up for me 2 coffees grate price, the fry up was cooked to perfection the extra black budding was warmed through nicely and tasted amazing, on asking the lady cooking she very kindly gave me the name and three bits of pudding in a box i was really chuffed, but sadly i would say guys be car full the floor is very slippery i had walking shoes on and a stick as my legs aren't good but over all a exalent experience thank you x

Great food, great service, fantastic atmosphere. Keep on going

Quirky restaurant, converted Chapel came for lunch, excellent food and service all round. Would definitely come back when in the area.

Bloody fantastic. Will definitely book again 😄 bringing some more people with us next time can't wait to show them a fantastic time. ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent food in here. Tucked away in Shaftesbury. Very interesting menu with plenty of choice and generous portions. I had the pulled pork balls and he had the Korean beef taco to start and then I had the cauliflower shawarma and he had the belly pork with butter beans and lots of tasty things. We ordered sides. The courgette dish the spinach dish and then on a whim, the fries. We really didn’t need the sides though they were delicious! The service was very good but the kitchen were a bit slow. However the quality of the food far outweighs any delay we may have had. The restaurant is small so best to book but there is outside seating just in case we get a balmy evening ever again! They also do takeaways. This is a great addition to Shaftesbury and we are very pleased we went.
