The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in North Dorset South West

We love Gusto's, great coffee and fab food, 100% better than any of the high street chain coffee bars..... thank you Gusto's .

We came for coffee in the morning, and liked it so much that we came back for lunch. Lovely staff, and the food was delicious. Can recommend the Welsh Rarebit and Chicken Gyros!

Spot on, just had lunch today .catered for my special diet well . Beautifully presented and excellent lunch… Highly recommended 5*

Can't recommend No.8 Cafe enough. Friendly staff. Nice inside and out. Off the East Street so nice and secluded. I had the Little Breakfast - which was enough and very tasty. Every element well made and sourced. I especially like the mushroom with thyme, cooked for a perfect amount of time and not swimming in butter like usual. Bang on! Had a really nice coffee too. Go!

What a lovely experience. Food and service were great at a decent price. Would recommend to anyone for sure. What was really lovely was the general vibe, whether you are going with a family, or want to siut down with someone to do some work - the place seems to be able to provide for all.

Fast and friendly sevice. Good honest food and reasonable price. We love coming here for breakfast or brunch.

Great little addition to Shaftesbury high street. They are dog friendly too! Lovely food and pastries. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Excelente lugar para toda la familia, impresionantes vistas, mucho espacio de estacionamiento, limpio y ordenado, y muy amigable, la comida es impresionante, ¡una visita obligada!

A great cafe, busy in the morning with breakfast and coffees etc. Clearly well liked by the locals and visitors alike. We travelled almost 20 miles to have a lovely fresh breakfast here. The decor is fun especially the cruet - you need to visit to see! The staff were helpful and the service good. I recommend it and we will go again.

Popped into this café for a coffee stop during the afternoon. I had previously visited maybe a year or two ago but the inside was not as I remembered it. It turns out there has been a new owner hence the changes. Whilst I didn’t eat this time, looking at what’s on offer, I will be back. Oh, and the coffee was great btw.

I arrived in Shaftesbury Friday afternoon and this was the first cafe I saw. Excellent choice of snacks, lunches, cakes etc. The peanut butter and banana milkshake is a must have!! I visited this cafe for lunch (& milkshake) each day during my short stay. Hope to visit this area again next year.

Popped in for a coffee and some cake - lovely but wouldn’t necessarily come again for elevenses. The cakes were good but quite a small/basic selection which has never changed, one of us ordered a pain au chocolat which came very overdone, and the vanilla latte I ordered came in a cappuccino cup and was small and extremely sweet as a result! Savoury food has a better selection so I’d recommend it as a lunch spot. Service was great (very welcoming to a small child and baby in pushchair which was lovely) and very prompt!

Lovely cafe, went with a friend for coffee and cake, staff very friendly and the cakes were delicious, would recommend 😋 recently went back for some lunch, food was lovely.

Eye wateringly expensive if you need to buy something to take home for lunch. 3 slices of quiche £22.50. Only 50p each less than having it heated on a plate with salad. Arrrgh.

Exceptionally well cooked pub food with some great twists on pub faves. I had a delicious Devon beef tartare starter with wasabi mayo and crispy potato. Main was a succulent local lamb shank served on a bed of butternut risotto with mint oil and micro greens. My partner had a local sole with brown shrimp and chicken sauce with chili oil roasted jersey mini potatoes. All was perfectly presented and very well seasoned. Puddings also delicious. Poached figs with marscapone ice cream and a seeded brittle. Wine choices were interesting and well priced too. Hard to fault pub food as good at this and so well priced too. The staff were attentive throughout and made us feel very welcome.
