The best restaurants in Dorchester North West Dorset South West

I recently dined here with a friend for her birthday. The Service was above average at best, but this is not fault of their own, they had some very needy customers in the very small dining area they provide. I'm not overly a big fan of the food they serve here but they is just my personal opinion and again, no fault of theirs, just something I should have had a better look at before dining there. I hope to return once I've had more time to look over the menu they provide.

Very attentive staff, nice to see different menu options. Will definitely visit again. Breakfast was excellent

Came in for brunch with my son. Lovely food, friendly staff, modern decor and great Ambience. Really enjoyed my interesting food that was beautifully presented. Great coffee too!

So I haven't physically bene in the building but I've ordered from them a few times for home delivery and OH MY GOD I'm obsessed. The dumplings are so so good, my favourite are the chilli pork ones and the spring rolls are to die for. I'm telling all my friends about them because this business NEEDS TO STAY OPEN for the sake of my dumping cravings lol

Went to Vibes for lunch after having it recommended by a couple of friends. The place itself is really nice , the music was great, and we were greeted like old friends by Hamsa the owner, even though it was our first visit. The coffee was very good and the food was excellent (we had the mushroom shawarma and a buddha bowl which featured the best falafel ever!). Hamsa and the team offer great vegetarian/vegan food with a warm welcome and really personal service. Very highly recommended!

This was our first time using Yolanda's, and I have to say it's going to be a regular thing! The food is fresh, tasty and very good value for money. The homemade guacamole is excellent. Thanks!

This place was hard to find (in the dark) but well worth it. Had the vegan chicken burger. Absolutely Amazing! Also has a free arcade machine while you wait.

Hamza catered for us and 80 of our family and friends for the evening before our wedding. His falafel wraps were fresh and delicious, and his service was efficient but also fun. All our guests loved him and his food. Would definitely recommend!

A very enjoyable evening meal. The staff are incredibly polite, attentive and hospitable (especially Georgia!). The tapas menu is perfect for sharing plates or a lighter bite to eat whilst you choose from a large collection of different wines and other spirits. If you’re after a larger meal, then you can order from the next door sister-restaurant’s menu; a really neat touch. Strongly recommend the Sweet Calzone for dessert, it was delicious and unique!

Amazing coffee, the kindest staff and the best brownies to exist! Come here regularly with friends.

Amazing pizza and service. It’s nothing like other pizzas. Excellent quality and flavor. Pizza is freshly made and stone-baked. Very good prices and excellent service.

We finally took the opportunity to visit Dorchester Market Cafe after hearing good reviews. We were not disappointed, order efficiently taken at the counter, one market breakfast, one standard breakfast and a vegetarian breakfast without the veggie sausage for me. I wasn’t aware the veggie breakfast came with two eggs so requested another egg in place of the veggie sausage. All our breakfasts were plentiful and delicious, accompanied by really nice coffees too. The Dorchester Market Cafe is spotlessly clean, the service fabulous and we will return again soon. I pinched the black pudding from the market breakfast to enhance my veggie breakfast in the photo.

If you just glanced at the shopfront, you might walk past & not try it. You would be wholly wrong. This place has a 5* hygiene rating & you can see the kitchen. Yes the decor is tired, and there are supplies piled inside the front door, but the quality of the food is exceptional, and the prices reflect the takeaway/delivery only format, so a bargain. We were having a party with a number of vegetarian & vegan guests. The owner took extreme care to get the order right and to clearly label the particular vegan items for our guests’ comfort (even the complimentary pickles/sauces). When someone goes to that much trouble, you know that they really care about delivering a fantastic meal - which it was! Best sag paneer I’ve ever had. The guests loved and raved about all of the food & we’ll definitely go back. Just to note, this place prefers cash so they have a £15 minimum to pay by card. Takeaway or delivery only.

Table of seven of us, the interaction with the staff helped with the choice from the Excellent Menu, wouldn't normally have puddings with Brunch but it just had to be done! Everything was just So Perfect from the Presentation to the Taste. Not the first time there and will certainly not be the last, only wish we all lived closer... So pleased to have have found, FOUND!!
