The best restaurants in West Dorset South West

We visited in December whilst in the area. The best way to describe this place is average. The staff were friendly, but food did take a while to come. The food was okay, but didn't seem anything exceptional. For the quality of the food, I would have expected the prices to be a bit lower but I guess in current times that is tricky. One of the other customers there recommended the breakfasts but we weren't going to be in the area again so no chance to try.

Fantastic coffee and the mega breakfast sarnie is absolutely terrific,! Ollie, Jess, Will and the whole team are the best !

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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

Booked a table a week in advance, arrived an no-one had written it down. The manager/owners made a joke about it but had they been full and unable to seat us it could have been a different story. However being January and only 7pm we were the only people in the restaurant. We sat down and wee given the menus. Not a huge range on the menue - literally just Quesadillas or Tacos as the main but they all sounded lovely. We did not order starters as not a single starter was below £10 which seemed a bit pricey. We all ordered our mains- each of us went for different quesadillas. We did not order any sides. The meals came out promptly and we all enjoyed the however we did feel that each was overpriced by £5. This is supposed to be Mexican Street door but with 3 of our meals being around the £20 mark we felt that there either should have been a side included - not just the tiny scoop of beetroot and carrot on the side of the plate. However, price aside we all enjoyed the food. The staff were friendly and accommodating and check ed with one member of our part who is wheat intolerant about whether their order needed to be cooked seperatly.

Such a shame Found is closing - this is the best, accessibly priced, well thought out food you can get . Then add in that it’s locally sourced with amazing service, phenomenal chef, you can only say Dorchester doesn’t deserve such a fantastic restaurant. Get in while you can !! 10 Barons

This supper club is a great concept he (Sam) created a large kitchen in this industrial unit some years ago and uses to support his functions and wedding catering , what he has done now is convert the storage spaces around the kitchen into little quirky eating places (his old office is one of them) but the hub is the kitchen . He was always a great chef but his food is now at another level combining sticky ribs and Asian tastes on the same plate . The food comes well presented on wood boards and trust me starve yourself throughout the day the portions are massive. The whole vibe of the place is casual and very friendly. Go there you won’t be disappointed

Always fantastic food and service when we have a takeaway from here, love that you can choose your own combinations for burgers which means all of our friends could have something for them as many prefer to eat different things, great service even as a takeaway from ordering to delivery

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

Gem of a find. Highly recommend! Healthy and incredibly tasty food. Lovely people who run it. Just what we needed. Would definitely go again.
