Perry's
Effortlessly stylish, but also relaxed, this Georgian town house is a study of snowy white tablecloths and flashes of pink. The local seafood is irresistible: seabass with crushed saffron potatoes, and spiced tian of Portland crab. The cognoscenti book the 1st-floor window table (complete with fabulous harbour view) for a two-course lunch – a bargain at £15.

Nothe Fort
Crowning the headland beside Weymouth Harbour, these photogenic 19th-century defences are studded with cannons, rifles, searchlights and 12-inch coastal guns. Exhibits detail the Roman invasion of Dorset, a Victorian soldier's drill, and Weymouth in WWII. Commanding an armoured car and clambering around the magazine prove popular with regiments of children.

Mallams
A romantic harbourside eatery with subdued lighting and old stone. Ethically sourced fish features heavily - sustainable cod covered in a dill and parmesan crust and New Forest barramundi with Cajun spice. Top it off with a white and dark chocolate torte with raspberry sauce.

La Baroque
Baroque by name, baroque by nature. Munch tapas surrounded by raspberry walls and heavy gilt pictures in the wine bar. Or pop upstairs to sturdy tables, sleek chairs, Toulouse Lautrec prints and classy dining - beef with truffled lentils, mushrooms and spinach.
