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.

Popped in for a coffee and some cake - lovely but wouldn’t necessarily come again for elevenses. The cakes were good but quite a small/basic selection which has never changed, one of us ordered a pain au chocolat which came very overdone, and the vanilla latte I ordered came in a cappuccino cup and was small and extremely sweet as a result! Savoury food has a better selection so I’d recommend it as a lunch spot. Service was great (very welcoming to a small child and baby in pushchair which was lovely) and very prompt!

Love the food and the and attentive servicing. Atmosphere was nice as well

Lovely local cafe, always friendly, great food. Lovely staff.

Newly opened,taste great ,great staff definitely recommend

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

Visited again for my husbands birthday and feel like its our regular place to for a nice meal out to celebrate. Food was amazing . Very happy with everything we ordered. Thank you..

Brilliant bottomless brunch, a really empowering female environment that makes you feel included and is such good fun. Britney lead the line dance and smashed it! Well done ladies, you all work so hard xxx

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.
