The best restaurants serving French food in Poole South West

Isabel's is a wonderful restaurant and one of our absolute favourites. The staff are attentive but not intrusive. They are knowledgeable and friendly. The ambience is relaxed, intimate, and beautiful. Perfect for a romantic meal, meeting up with friends or family. As for the menu; you can rest assured that whatever you choose, you will not he disappointed. The food is exquisite and beautifully presented. A veritable treasure of dining excellence.

Amazing cocktails! Service is always amazing and friendly.

Delicious Sunday lunch with family. The roast beef and chicken were tender, vegetables beautifully cooked and plentiful, roast potatoes crispy and tasty, enormous Yorkshire pudding and endless gravy. What’s not to love?! Surprisingly two of the party found room for dessert and enjoyed an excellent selection of ice cream and sorbets. Good atmosphere in the restaurant and there were plenty of people relaxing outside too.

I have been here before, but on that occasion I had fish - which was amazing. This time it was a table of 10 people for Sunday lunch - celebrating a 90th Birthday. And it was superb. The food was epic, top quality, and plenty of it. The service was faultless. Great atmosphere due to the restaurant being full. Thank you, you made our day.

Good meal and waiter but a little quiet, shame just needed a couple more tables taken but still enjoyed ourselves

Booked for Christmas lunch with the family looking forward to great food and service. Unfortunately the day turned into a complete disaster. Starter took over an hour, the main more than an hour and a half and the sorbet course didn’t even materialise. The quality of the food was very sub standard. Have eaten there before and had great food but this time it was really awful. A Christmas Day ruined

Another Saturday morning, 10am, shelves practically bare of produce. What they had is nice but come on… and this isn’t a one-off scenario.
