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

Probably one of the best coffees in Dorset. I had a double espresso and a iced coffee, both were delicious

I often have breakfast here when I am working in Dorchester. Wonderful cooked freshly cooked meal with high quality local produce and very friendly service. Add the black pudding.

Located a bit of a stroll up hill away from the town centre, so probably not somewhere that’s going to get troubled so much by the tourists, but nonetheless well worth seeking out. It’s quite rustic in style with old coffee sacks hanging from the ceiling and it had a nice chilled out vibe and a friendly welcome. The cake selection was a little on the small side perhaps with only about four options, but we were there for something a little more substantial and there were plenty of enticing looking options chalked up on a board. I went for the chorizo, rosemary and potato hash with poached eggs, and this was a decent size and very tasty indeed, a thoroughly enjoyable dish. An accompanying latte was also particularly good, and coffee is obviously something they take seriously with a number of different beans to choose from. All in all, highly recommended.

Lovely food, friendly staff, dog friendly.

What a fantastic place in beautiful Abbotsbury. We had visited the Tropical gardens near by and wanted to wander around the village. We found the Old School tea rooms which were just perfect. The welcome and service was exceptional from start to finish by a lovely husband and wife team. My wife and I had the savoury and sweet cream teas. They were both delicious in equal measure with plenty of cream and jam and cheese and pickle . The tea was strong and plentiful and I even through in a wonderfully spiced tea cake for good measure. Well with a visit when visiting the Jurassic Coast.

Great selection of drinks and really friendly.

Went here May bank holiday weekend, Sunday afternoon with my partner's cousin. Had to book as it does get very busy. Nice cakes, place is also known for cream tea and savoury scones. Lots of tea choices. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Prices are not bad for a local busy area.

My last evening in Dorset and wanted to treat myself to a fine dining restaurant , it excelled my expectations ! The restaurant is in an absolutely beautiful building , lovely decor and tables spaced out nicely . Great atmosphere with soft music in the background. I took my dog Tilly who was made very welcome. The service was brilliant and great recommendations on what wine to have with my mackerel starter and lobster main , overall a fantastic experience serving exquisite food - thank you Lilac.

We all had hot baguettes-sausages and bacon freshly cooked, the baguettes were very nice. My Daughters enjoyed their smoothie and chocolate milkshake. Service was good also.

Very disappointed in the fish and chips it was tiny like a child’s portion and very expensive for what you get. Food was hot so was the plate. Service good. Told the waitress only to be told “I’ll tell the chef” Not sure we will be returning anytime soon.

What a lovely find . We sat outside on the green and enjoyed a lovely informal lunch . Fish finger sandwiches and fantastic home made quiche with salad . We weee passing through Dorchester and will definitely stop again. The cakes were delicious and the tea and coffee very good . Pots of tea as an option . The venue is in a peaceful residential area and the menu offered good quality , home cooked food at extremely reasonable prices . Charming interior . Open 10 till 430. Do give it a try .

Lovely little place with a really friendly lady serving. So many ciders to choose from and also other drinks available if you're not a cider drinker. Was encouraged to try to ciders first which was great. Will definitely be back when we're in the area.

You get a lot of ice cream for your money. Great flavour selection and great quality of product

Great ambience, super delicious food, great service. Absolutely recommended!

We go there everytime we stay in Dorchester. The best little place for breakfast. Can not fault it at all. All the staff are lovely and friendly.
