The best restaurants in Parkstone Poole South West

Very good & beautiful presentation!

This is clear of any food in Dorset. I would say visit here if you have the chance. I really enjoyed the experience.

Had chicken fajitas, rice and sweet corn salad. It was absolutely delish. Very tasty, So fresh and spicy hot. would have like more chicken as not a very big portion. Nevertheless I really loved it. Will be ordering again as it a nice change from curry or Chinese takeaway Delivery was quick and food hot

Such a friendly place. Looked after 15 of us service fab and so chilled out. Will definately go back

5 days ago I posted a warning review that Dragonfly was closed...But I am now updating that as they are definitely open and have just booked to eat there on Saturday. The Dragonfly has to be my favourite restaurant as the food is consistently superb! Excellent wine, as well as cocktails and good rest room facilities. My most favourite restaurant of all time!! Highly recommend and just so pleased that they are open again.

Great food, great service, comfortable. Busy, which meant we had a little wait for our food, but we weren't in any hurry. The linguine pescatori was incredible and all at a reasonable price.

Simple place, not especially characterful but not trying to offer too much yet does what it does very well, with an interesting variety of craft lagers and ales, and small menu of nonetheless delicious wood-fired pizzas. Limited space inside, but a decent outside area.

A gem in the heart of Ashley cross ...Meg is amazing

Went here for a saturday date after walking past many times. Booked for 9pm as only slot available. Ordered starters and mains. Starters took an hour to appear- chicken skewers awesome but flat bread dry and dreadful. Mains appeared about 30 mins later, some aspects great but peanut curry was so bland and pap with main was so dry!!! Won't bother again

Lovely meal and really great service, will definitely be coming back

Delicious Sunday lunch with family. The roast beef and chicken were tender, vegetables beautifully cooked and plentiful, roast potatoes crispy and tasty, enormous Yorkshire pudding and endless gravy. What’s not to love?! Surprisingly two of the party found room for dessert and enjoyed an excellent selection of ice cream and sorbets. Good atmosphere in the restaurant and there were plenty of people relaxing outside too.

Best tasting coffee in area that is well made. Whether that's a glass white, Americano or something else. Nice selection of generously filled bagels. The salt beef with mustard and gherkins is a particular favourite. Also a good selection of cakes and other treats, with some homemade and delicious. Friendly and efficient staff, and with reasonable prices.

This is not only the best coffee shop in Poole it does amazing weekend drinks and a DJ! I went on bank holiday Friday and it was an amazing suntrap!

This place was recommended by a work colleague, and I must remember to thank them! Quite hidden away, but well worth hunting for. Every single thing on the menu is gluten free and vegan, so you don’t have to worry what is and isn’t available as a GF option. I chose the Sun option, a lovely mix of turmeric hummus, falafel, pesto , gherkin and rocket with a balsamic glaze. Heaven! When I went back the next day I added avocado and it was even better. Quick service, lovely attentive staff and outdoor seating options. Thoroughly recommended! Give it a go!

Lovely coffee bar with great coffee such a pity that the pavement table area is dire, full off debris, cigarette ends and lots of dead leaves. Would we find this level of squalor outside a French cafe, I don't think so!
