The best restaurants in Lyme Regis West Dorset South West

Outstanding independent coffee/doughnut/hog roast takeaway. Welcoming people (thanks Joey & Bailey!) who were friendly and happy to chat. Coffee was delicious (freshly brewed filter), and the hog roast roll was the best I’ve had - complete with crackling. Don’t get me started on the doughnuts.

We had a lovely time - great pizzas, great service and a lovely atmosphere. I had the special which was mushrooms with egg yolk - absolutely delicious. We sat in the outside covered area which was warm enough with the heaters and only added to the atmosphere with the wind blowing outside.

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.

Pretty good place! Interesting range of dishes and some good veggie sides, with the ash potatoes snd padron peppers especially nice. My group (we visited last month) ordered entirely vegetarian food and, even with a relatively small menu, we enjoyed the variety of flavours on offer. It was a little pricey but ultimately the food was good quality and the intimate atmosphere and decor made the night feel special. Didn't drink myself but according to others in my group, the wine and sangria was apparently excellent! I would def recommend if you want something a bit different and don't mind paying a bit more than usual for it.

One of only two places we stop in at Lyme for coffee, food always good cakes home made and lush. Lovely staff. This time we stopped for crispy duck leg on celeriac and potato mash with braised fennel......OMG just like we would have in France, no drink licence yet but may have by christmas. Best to reserve for lunch I would have though. Thanks Tom

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 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

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.

The best seafood I’ve ever had in Lyme Regis - including Mark Hicks! Brilliant, charming, knowledgeable service and atmosphere and the food was so good we came back the next night!! These two young talented people deserve their own restaurant NOW!! ❤️

Absolutely delicious food! We had a super evening enjoying every single element of the tasting menu. The food was exceptional value given the quality! Highly recommend!

Lovely place for a cuppa and cake. The staff were so helpful getting us seated as we had a pram and a mobility walker. Tucked these items out the way for us and bought a little tin of wooden toys for our little one to play with. Cakes were all amazing (Dorset apple cake the best) and I went back to get some takeaway pasties later too. These were also excellent. Definitely visit again when in Lyme Regis.

We were lucky enough to get a table following a recommendation from the B&B owner. So glad we did, great choice of little plates. We enjoyed 6 between us, including monk fish, prawns and scallops. All very fresh and brilliantly cooked. Great relaxed atmosphere. A memorable night, helping to make our holiday special. Thank you

It's good to know there's a vegan restaurant in Lyme Regis. It's good, affordable, run by a cheerful cook, and is conveniently situated on the short main street, not far from the sea and the sea and close to the gardens that overlook the beach.

We were in Lyme Regis last week and went to the new Baboo Gelato Bar to have an ice cream with our 6 year old daughter and we all absolutely loved it. It was quite simply the best salted caramel ice cream we've ever had (and I've had quite a lot - we live in West Sussex near to the sea and regularly visit beaches and have the mandatory ice cream each time!) The staff in there were all really friendly and helpful, if you're in the area I'd highly recommend popping by! I really hope Baboo expands out to West Sussex so we have have more of their delicious gelato!
