Lyme Regis

Restaurants in Lyme Regis

  1. A

    Broad Street

    A refreshingly innovative restaurant. Décor is rough meets smooth: whitewashed walls and exposed stone; crisp white linen and beige Hessian. Seating is on old chapel chairs - complete with the slots for hymn sheets on the backs. The food also has flair; confit of duck, roast tomato and beetroot puree sits alongside pot-roast pollack with spinach and leeks. Impeccably sourced ingredients, their local credentials are outlined on the menu, include wild garlic gathered from the woods.

    Booking essential.

  2. B

    Jurassic Seafood

    Bright and buzzy in blue and orange, this eatery revels in its prehistoric theme: fossil maps, hunting tips and replica dinosaur remains abound. A tasty, eclectic menu includes crab sushi, mussels and chips, and local mackerel, as well as salads and steaks.

  3. Town Mill

    More like a friend's front room than a cafe, this is Lyme's top snacking spot. Brunch sees you carving slices off huge loaves to toast them yourself, before asking the stranger sitting next to you to please pass the jam. Lunch tempts with soups and flans, while the pizza suppers (5pm to 8pm) in the summer holidays are worth arriving early for.

    Hix Oyster & Fish House

    Expect sweeping views of the Cobb and dazzling food at this super-stylish open-plan cabin. Ink-cooked spelt comes with Devon squid, scallops with black pudding, and steak with scrumpy-fried onions. Perhaps start by slurping some oysters: Brownsea Island or Falmouth molluscs come at £2.25 to £3.50 a pop.
