The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Poole South West

We came again last (Thursday) as usual very nice time and service. Ordered a bottle of Falanghina as we did last time from menu at £22 which we charged last time. Looking at bill when got home you charged £27.60 last night and looking at web site it’s priced at £23? Prices should not differ. If price on menu is wrong people should be told when ordering. Maybe can clarify and get this consistent. Have E mailed but no response 🤷‍♂️

I had a wonderful experience at The Fisherman's Cafe in Poole Old Town! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully cooked and presented with care. The breakfast menu offers a traditional variety of options. Every bite was delightful! The staff were incredibly lovely, kind, attentive, and always willing to help, which made the experience even better. Noticed signs dotted about saying dogs are welcome which is great for both locals and those visiting the area with pets in holiday. The owners thoughtfulness really stood out! Overall, The Fisherman's Cafe is a gem in Old Town Poole! Great food, excellent service, and a friendly and fab atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit and especially when visiting Poole Quay. The butcher quality sausages alone are worth coming back for. Highly recommended! Plus… They also have vegetarian options.

Fantastic fresh fish cooked expertly. This is one of the best places to go for fresh fish meals. Unlimited chips is also a nice addition too. Have been here quite a few times and never been disappointed.

Bit hit and miss. I’ve had some good fish and chips but sometimes the batter isn’t cooked enough.

You pay for the view and service. Took my family for an Easter Monday dinner.The food was less than impressive.

Food takes way too long for a standard chippy

Most amazing chips in the world u guys are my fave and always smash it with the “extra extra extra more than necessary lots and lots and lots of salt and vinegar X10000000 :)”

2 haddock and chips. Absolutely beautiful. Curry sauce was different than the usual, but very nice. Staff were very friendly. Will definitely be returning.

My wife and I were invited out to lunch at the Sandbanks Hotel in Poole yesterday. The main restaurant was closed so we three seated ourselves in the outside snack bar area. There was not a great choice but the food was said to be Italian and run by Italians, and having been to that country expected to be served a good standard of food. This was absolutely not the case. We ordered two box salads - one chicken and chorizo and the other a smoked salmon nicoise, and also a pizza. The two salad boxes were about 150mm square and contained mostly lettuce and tomato - the lady who had the chicken said the chicken pieces were so small she could hardly see them. I had the pizza, and because I was hungry I did try to eat it - but had to leave about half. I would compare it to an inferior supermarkey pizza. I have had pizzas in Naples at a quarter the price and they have been far superior. Added to the food were a J2o orange, a 250ml glass of wine and one beer. The total cost £62.00! We left still hungry and went to an Italian restaurant in Westbourne a couple of hours later, and for about the same price we had seafood risotto, sirloin steak and sea bass in a champagne sauce along with the same drinks. It does not take an expert in Maths to work out who is giving value for money! A complaint was made at the time, and to be fair both the kitchen and the hotel manager offered a refund - which was declined, as the point of the complaint was not to get money back but to highlight what was thought to be an unacceptable situation. The place looks lovely with great views over the beach and sea, but it is an "eatery" not a viewing platform. We obviously would never lunch there again - but we all felt that they are serving inferior food at inflated prices. It is a shame as it denegrates the overall reputation of this Hotel. If you charge top prices you should serve top quality food.
