The best restaurants serving Default food in Christchurch South West

We bought the 3 course meal for 2 with wine. It was excellent quality and good value for money. There is an excellent selection of Italian foods for purchase, some making excellent gifts. We will definitely visit again!

Very friendly and warm atmosphere. The owners accommodated us with two small babies during a rain storm. My older daughter is milk an d wheat intolerant and always finds it difficult to find somewhere to eat, the second daughter is vegetarian, so you can imagined the difficult logistics; plus two babies to feed. The owners went to great lengths to help her; it was delicious. They put together two tables to help us and it was so good, we came back especially 2 days later. This is a perfect example of a small family run business offering a better and more personal service than the big chain cafes and succeeding. Many thanks for your help, we shall be back late spring next year. Chris & Kate

Lovely café, indoor & outdoor seating. Delicious locally sourced ingredients. We had coffee & cake (gf carrot cake & coconut cake), and full breakfast 😋 Friendly staff. Very accommodating with gf options for our daughter who is coeliac. Highly recommend! 🌟

What a wonderful little place. My croque monsieur had crispy, crunchy, chewy bread, and the right amount of cheese and ham. So unusual to find a croque monsieur done well in the UK. My wife had an almond croissant and it was crisp and flakey on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. More than anything else though, the dough had such an amazing butter smell. We also shared a lemon meringue tart because we were impressed with everything else. The base was well cooked and short, the lemon curd was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, the meringue was light, marshmallowey, and perfectly toasted. Oh, and the coffee was also great, the staff were friendly, the setting was clean, and pretty, and cute. Bravo!

Visited on a rainy Saturday and was delighted! I ordered from the cabinet food, although the menu looks great. Awesome range of food and it was delicious! My mocha was one of the best I've ever had. Definitely recommend you visit!

I am a self confessed coffee snob and was not disappointed. Rich aromatic with a long flavour and a warm after glow. Best coffee in town.

What a wonderful find! The welcome and service was great. The menu was simple but ample choice for lunch - we had a tuna jacket potato and a bacon roll both accompanied by homemade coleslaw and salad garnish. Both were delicious. The decor was lovely and the loos were the best I’ve ever seen! We’ll be back!!

What a great little find. Popped in here to get out of the rain and so glad I did. A delicious toastie and cup of tea served by Warren. Very clean and friendly. Lovely menu and a great place to meet for mooching in Highcliffe or visit to park or beach. Highly recommend.

We received a warm welcome & were shown to our favourite table area. Lisa was our waitress who is always smiley & attentive. Food was good, potion size perfect. Dessert was amazing! Had a great time… see you soon!

Went here today. Had the wine & cheeseboard and all l can say is we will be back!! Exceptional standard of food and staff were so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend if you are in the area to try it. You would not be disappointed. Thanks for a lovely night. Xx

Stopped here after spending the afternoon go karting, what a fantastic diner. The food was excellent - I had the sweet and pickle burger, which was delicious. There were so many tempting options on the menu and the staff were very friendly and helpful, I'd thoroughly recommend!

My family and I have a house down in highcliffe and we frequently come down for little weekend breaks. Every single time we come down the first question that’s asked is ‘so what night are we going to bistro?’. And every single time we go it is the best meal we have all ever had. Every time! And we’ve been to some nice restaurants.

Great little place. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Food is amazing

Came in for a drink with my partner on my birthday, I was served by Hema who was absolutely lovely! The loveliest start to my birthday celebrations ever, thank you so much for the birthday tiramisu!
