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

If you're ever in Dorchester, go here. Beautifully cooked food, not overpriced at all and very welcoming. Quality cafes like this are few and far between. We wished we lived nearer.

Pretty good place! Interesting range of dishes and some good veggie sides, with the ash potatoes snd padron peppers especially nice. My group (we visited last month) ordered entirely vegetarian food and, even with a relatively small menu, we enjoyed the variety of flavours on offer. It was a little pricey but ultimately the food was good quality and the intimate atmosphere and decor made the night feel special. Didn't drink myself but according to others in my group, the wine and sangria was apparently excellent! I would def recommend if you want something a bit different and don't mind paying a bit more than usual for it.

Village run shop/cafe. Has all the basics and a lot more besides, a small gift area, local artists paintings, Saturday morning egg and bacon baps, quality seasonal local produce. A very friendly atmosphere like the village shops of 50 or so years ago. Well worth a visit!

Hard to find a better coffee shop than Bean Shot. Fantastic coffee. Fantastic atmosphere. Fantastic people. Would highly recommend.

Good coffee friendly staff will visit again

Everytime we go to westbay, we eat here. Excellent food and service

I had the Marie rose prawn salad which was delicious - fresh and tasty and the bread was so good. My partner had the weekend special smoked mackerel sandwich on white sourdough. I tried some myself and it was mouthwateringly unreal. And now he won't shut up about how it's one of the best sandwiches he's ever eaten!

Great choice of local beers, a welcoming and knowledgeable landlord and dog friendly. Well worth a visit.

Nice traditional type pub. Did not eat here.

Love this cafe. It is run by the friendliest people, the food is amazing and the vibe is low key and laid back. This is definitely one of our new favourite places to eat. Great breakfasts too!

We found this gem of a cafe by personal recommendation. Excellent breakfast food and coffee, very friendly proprietors, and the quirky decor and crockery make it one of a kind. Nothing is over-priced either. Thank you Mel and George, we will be back.

Experience started off well - can't book dining online so e-mailed request and ended up having to phone - conversation was very friendly and welcoming. From then on it went down-hill. I have some restricted mobility and walk with a stick. Arrive at front of pub and realise its a steep flight of stairs to entrance. Manage up that, holding on to railing. OK welcome when we got in - we were early for our6pm booking but no problem although we were told kitchen doesn't start till 6 (says 5 on website). Where do we sit - here or upstairs - where's the toilet - upstairs - OK we'll sit upstairs. Two young kids around the bar (owner's presumably) - we order drinks and have to start carrying them and menus up steep and narrow stairs to the next floor. Has an eclectic look to the room, plus an external covered patio area. Everywhere has dirt / dead flies and isn't appealing. By then all hell had broken out in a very aggressive domestic back downstairs in the bar - manager and staff (wife?) - all about whether glasses were dirty - this had started in front of one of us while waiting for drinks to be poured - manager part poured a coke held it up and said glass is dirty - poured into another glass and said this one was dirty too - but then proceeded to fill the glass up and hand it over to the customer. The staff member (wife?) denied they were dirty and said she had cleaned them. As we sat upstairs the row just got louder and louder - and was clearly in front of the kids as well. We were the only customers and sat debating to order or to go. The argument suddenly stopped. We were feeling decidedly uncomfortable - no one came near us at 6 to see if we wanted to order. We decided to beat a retreat quickly and went back downstairs to pay for our drinks. The manager did ask us if there was a reason why we weren't staying - we didn't want to get into a conversation about the the appalling behaviour so just left.

Stopped in for lunch. Food was simple and tasty and reasonably priced.

Great place to grab a bargain . Cafe good

Having had a less than positive experience trying to get a table at a nearby cafe, D’Urbervilles was recommended by a local shopkeeper. Beautiful building housing an interesting homewares shop with a great cafe attached. The frittata was fabulous. Loved it!
