The best restaurants in West Dorset South West

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.

I've been to several award- winning fish and chip shops and this is better than any of them.... The cod and chips was perfectly cooked, service was friendly and efficient and prices are excellent value. Strongly recommended. Thank you both.

What a find! Beautiful restaurant, we had such a great dinner we returned for breakfast! Staff were really friendly and welcoming.Food was lovely, we all had steaks cooked to perfection whilst also enjoying some cocktails and locally brewed ciders. Would highly recommend and will hopefully get the chance to return.

What a joyful experience! Between 3 of us we had a large plate of seared, hand-dived scallops, fish tacos, and calamari. All utterly delicious, cooked to perfection and served with beautifully dressed fresh salads and really good fries. Fast and friendly service too. If you can, you should go there!

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

Food was fantastic, freshly cooked and very tasty with fresh herbs. I had the roasted squash salad, my elderly parents had salmon & beetroot salads and my partner had the lamb burger..everyone was very happy. We also found room somehow to try the cakes which were also also great, lemon & blueberry and the orange & almond. Dog friendly too and tables were not crammed together so good if you're dog is a bit nervous like ours. Service was good too, friendly and attentive. Place was relatively quiet on a Monday, and a shame not more of the adjacent craft places are open / occupied.

Just had the best street food I have ever had the curry and rice was amazing you can choose from a range of different curry’s and different heats The dad and daughter team that run this fantastic stall are so friendly that I can’t wait for next Saturday and apparently they are there at the Wednesday market as well

This koool kat has created the most funkaliscous space, to get cozy and sip the finest oat milk flat white, while treating yourself to a scrumdidilyumpsiouc breakfast and a sweet or savoury pastry to add the cherry on top!! Located inside the lyric theatre a rustic vibe, the walls filled with quarky art that will have your eyes hooked.... get hooked on bearkat xx

I had the Guajillio chicken tacos - they are consistently so delicious. Even better when smothered with ‘Duggies Sauce’ until it is dribbling between your fingers as you take each bite. Thank you team for always delivering the Mexican joy.

We had a lovely afternoon tea in the garden at Hillside on Tuesday 27th August. Our hostess was friendly and welcoming and provided a selection of sandwiches, fruit scones and cream, and a selection of cakes. It was hard to choose what to have first, coffe and walnut cake, Victoria sandwich, red velvet or chocolate fudge cake. We chose to stick with the usual tea but could have had other teas or coffee. Thank you so much for providing the refreshments for Christine's retirement celebration! From Linda, Karen, Shalini and of course Christine x

Una celebración muy especial con la familia y amigos en este maravilloso restaurante - excelente comida, un servicio agradable y el entorno más auténtico con historias personales para hacer que su corazón se derrita... ¡Me encantó!

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!

There are very few places like this in Bournemouth it was so refreshing to go somewhere that was an experience rather than just a meal out. Delicious freshly prepared and cooked food. Lots of vegetarian options and lovely cocktails. This place suits any night out with partner, family or friends . Choose a main and some sides to share. Leave room for a home made desert the Churros were amazing. Booking is advised.

We were lucky enough to get a table for 4 at the HM Fish Supperclub. From the canopies to the dessert, every dish was a delight. Service was warm and friendly and the setting was very cosy and nicely lit. The cod cheeks, herb crusted fillet, the pea fritter, the curried sauce and juicy prawns. I’m not sure which was my favourite, as all so delicious, but I left fully satisfied with the 4 scrumptious courses.

Perfect date night spot. Had our meal on the picnic table under a peaceful tree. Delicious street food. Lovely hardworking owner. We’ll be back soon!
