The best restaurants in South West

Absolute gem of a place. Wonderful, friendly staff in a lovely establishment. We had scones with clotted cream and jam, delicious! Dog friendly too! Thoroughly recommend and would definitely visit here again.

The food is exquisite, over flowing with variety of sushi of my likings, Chef is humble and hard worker. Recommend to bring family as they offer good size of food. Satisfied customer.

I had the best night at the Loft . I had a meal with my family and then had a 50th birthday get together with close friends and family. It was the perfect venue for what I wanted I would highly recommend this venue and will certainly be going back for future celebrations 🍾

Wow wow wow 🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️😋😋🤤🤤absolutely amazing so tasty so filling such good value so many flavours to choose from , made with love ❤️ love

We tried this restaurant after walking past a couple of times recently, and we are so glad we did! We were seated whilst the restaurant was fairly quiet, and were pleased to find homemade pastas that were a little different to most average Italian restaurants, we had spaghetti with clams, perfect pasta with huge clams, seasoned beautifully, and truffle tagliatelle served at the table in a Parmesan wheel, which was quite possibly the nicest thing I have eaten in a long time! Perfect portion sizes and small but very decent wine list. We also tried the homemade tiramisu which was fantastic too! Service was friendly even though the young lady serving us was on her own with 20+ customers! We will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends! Thanks for a lovely evening!

The best pizza, the friendliest ever staff, perfect setting for the location, and….. long overdue in Swanage. We will return, regularly :)

Wow! Such delicious, fresh food. My first experience of freshly made sushi and watching it being prepared was an added pleasure. Amazing!

This was so welcoming into what felt like the Chef’s home. It was cosy, the ambience was superb. The food was truly delicious and what was real, we felt we were part of the family. The tastes of the various dishes was just amazing and every dish was so different. The Chef was accompanied by his lovely wife and son who were amazing and helped make the family atmosphere with such a famous chef at the helm.

After a long walk we arrived just before closing. We asked if they were still serving coffee and they welcomed us in. Very friendly staff. Lovely cafe. Scones delicious. Would definitely go back

The worst food on the island and horrible rude staff. Made me very uncomfortable. I couldn't finish my meal it was so awful and it also made me quite ill the next day. Avoid at all costs!!!

Tasty food. But overpriced for poached egg. Empty table next to us hadn’t been wiped, and waitress took too much interest in the screen when I was asked to add 10, 15 or 20% service charge.

Lovely friendly space to eat and drink. Sadly the Buddha Bowl was so full of spicy fermented vegetables that it made it hard to enjoy. Too many different textures and tastes competing with each other. At £14 for a medium bowl it was also a little over priced I feel.

Best chicken, I liked the way how they served!! Recommended

Four does great breakfast. Hash browns are on point.

This is a great spot to pick up a picnic lunch for the trail. My wife and I are seniors with a senior appetite - one box was perfect for us to walk down the street and sit on a bench and enjoy this together. The sandwich was good sized (the tomato jam was superb). The mint and citrus cordial had us fighting over who got the last sip. Perfect start for out walk around the area.
