The best restaurants in West Dorset South West

I have never left a review before, but I had to this time. The food was nothing short of excellent and the service phenomenal. I would highly recommend to anyone.

An enjoyable fairly standard pub supper. Friendly owner and staff, nice country pub atmosphere. Tasty food, good range on menu, decent beer.

Visited after spotting someone eating one of the bao whilst we were in Lyme! Absolutely delicious- fresh, vibrant flavours and generous serving of meat in each bao. I had the rice chicken satay box and it was great- super portion and so fresh! The chilli crisp was unreal. My daughter had the kids rice box and great size portion and she loved it- 3 sizeable pieces of pork belly, rice and carrot/cucumber so ideal for kids who are interested in eating good food! Not cheap but VERY reasonable for the quality and esp considering there is a cafe directly opposite Red Panda which charges £12 for a jacket potato!!! Go to Red Panda, order 1 of everything then sit on the benches outside and enjoy the view and the grub- totally worth it.

Excellent local food and great service very knowledgable and friendly staff! A memorable experience and he paired wines were a great compliment to this vey English cuisine.

Amazing service. Really considerate of my needs as I'm coeliac. Friendly to my little boy and let him try a bit of ice cream as he was getting into a panic about deciding. The ice creams were delicious. Really lovely flavours and a good selection. Highly recommend

This lovely, welcoming vegetarian cafe is well worth a visit. A jewel in Beaminster and loved by locals and visitors alike. The four of us were warmly greeted and offered a good sized round table. The 10 year old with us declared the creamy scrambled egg on toast as the best they had ever had. Beautiful granary bread for the cheese & pickle sandwich and avocado bagels were delicious.

This little cafe stands out from its competitors with lovely fresh food, beautifully presented and at a good price. We return whenever we are in Lyme Regis

Such a disappointing experience. Very expensive (£11 for soup and one slice of bread which didn't come with any butter) and even more money for a "hotpot" which was saag aloo. The saag also was basically overcooked potato, which was absolutely tasteless with hardly any spinach and, again, a small slice of bread with no butter (many vegan butters could have been provided!).

Stayed here in August 23. Lovely accommodation, spacious and clean. Vikki and Martin are both very helpful. Really relaxed atmosphere. The children loved playing in the games room and the communal garden. We might even come back for another visit. Would highly recommend this accommodation.

Great new owners, NOTE telephone number on trip advisor is for the old owner so please don’t call it.. Shop is based conveniently in the car park with easy access. Serving hot and cold snacks drinks and must have beach essentials. Enjoy a stroll down to the town or a stroll to the beach, great location for exploring the local area.

Homemade freshly prepared delicious food! Great value for money - generous portions! Hot chocolate delicious too! Highly recommend! Support local business!

Great little restaurant with friendly staff. We just dropped in on the off chance and found this little gem of a place. Steak was tender and well cooked, we had with it a great bottle of Malbec at a really reasonable price. Will definitely be going back soon.

We had an incredible incredible experience at Rubicon Kitchen! The "tide to table" concept really emphasizes the quality and freshness of the seafood, which is nothing short of incredible. The chef owner Olly and hes staff are very friendly and attentive and we cannot wait to go back very soon.

Taco Taco is amazing and i recomend for everyone to try it, the resturant is very small and cosy so probably best to book just in case! We have been sereral times now and i am always craving the mexican corn and the tres leches cake. Service is always wonderfull and the food is best i've had from a resturant in bournemouth. They clearly put a lot of care and attention into creating their menu and every dish that leaves the kitchen!

We had a lovely lunch there. The decor is pretty the service friendly and the food very tasty. The drinks however were very expensive. £4.50 for a pot of tea and £4 for a coffee! The coffee was quite weak, which was a shame.
