The best restaurants in West Dorset South West

We stopped off at the cafe on our way to and from Cornwall. It was perfect for us as a family with young children particularly as there is an amazing park just outside. The staff were very welcoming and the food and drink was lovely. It was quite busy but the staff helped accommodate us plus our bugggy where our baby was sleeping. They had a children’s menu, colouring in and books for the children. We will definitely stop by again when we’re in the area!

We often order from Ottoman and we have to say it is by far the nicest kebabs we’ve had in the area. The food is consistently good, the portions are perfect, delivery is quick, and the prices are reasonable. We were recommended to try them by a friend and we are never disappointed. Highly recommend!

I found my food tasty (chicken phanaeng curry) but my friends weren't impressed with theirs. The tod man khao pod were extremely oily. The pork phat kaphrao was supposed to be mince in a dark, thin sauce, but this one was chunks (not pork belly) in a light, gloopy sauce. The jug of water we got given for the table was contaminated with hundreds of sesame seeds and other tiny bits of unidentified food! It literally looked like a snow globe. We had to ask to have it refilled. My friend ordered a vegetarian green curry but found a piece of chicken in it. The owner offered to replace it, but my friend declined and assumed it would just be taken off the bill instead. This was never offered, so my friend had to ask for it to be taken off, which the owner eventually agreed to. A different friend went up to the counter to pay, at which point the owner lowered his voice and tried to get my friend to agree to taking £3 off the bill instead of the full price of the green curry. My friend who ordered the curry heard this and got up to tell him to take the whole dish off the bill. The owner said he didn't want to do that since we had taken the rest of the green curry to go in a doggy bag for the non-vegetarians in the group, so we simply gave it back to him to have it taken off the bill (I'm assuming it was just dumped in the bin, so I'm not sure what the point of that was). The atmosphere was very awkward, the dining room was barren and the tables and chairs were very cramped. The bill was presented as simply a list of the prices of each dish/drink, but it didn't say what dish/drink each price correlated to, so we had to figure that out ourselves. Altogether a very poor experience. I gave 2 stars for the taste of my chicken phanaeng curry, but I couldn't go higher than that because of all the other issues. 2/5*

Great cream tea. They even did a gluten free version which was greatly appreciated and nice.

Always fully enjoy going to the café,meeting up with friends and family. Very friendly staff. Would recommend a visit if you haven't already been, dog friendly with lovely walks 😊

Great food and friendly staff, superb location. The fish and chips are huge.

Best Breakfast in Bridport We have been here on a number of occasions & the food is always outstanding, piping hot & delicious will be back next time we are in the area

Loved it all...Great food and service. Need to book as very popular.

Stopped in this morning for a bacon roll and coffee for the drive home after camping nearby. Have to say it was the best bacon roll I’ve had in a very long time! Bacon was thick and cooked perfectly and decent brown sauce makes all the difference :)

Great for a 'chain'. Sherborne Nero has lovely, friendly, efficient staff.

A real pub, one of the few left!

Another day...another Wetherspoons. Not the most interesting of buildings but the prices are right ..as are the food and drink. No reason not to visit.

Good pub grub, accompanied by good local beer and friendly staff. Visited on a Wednesday lunchtime, quiet, but I can imagine this place is very popular at busy times of day. All round very good experience.

Amazing service and surroundings and one of the best steaks I have had in a long time, definitely coming back again

Great Chinese takeaway in Dorchester. Very quick service and tasty food. I highly recommend people to try this place..
