Best restaurants in Lyme Regis

The Harbour Inn is a family run restaurant that’s built a reputation as one of Lyme Regis’ best spots for locally-sourced, home cooked food. Sat right on the beach, it lends itself to being both a casual dinner spot and a place for romantic date nights watching the sun set over the harbour.

Rock Point Inn takes pride of place along the water's edge, with its striking blue exterior and classic sash windows. Pop by for a meal to take in the sights of Lyme Bay whilst tucking into some classic pub food and award winning beers.

Picture this; the sun is shining, seagulls are chirping in the background, and you’ve just had your first sip of a cold glass of wine on a hot summer's day. Better yet, you’re sat on The Oyster & Fish House's terrace, with a view over the marina, and there’s a plate of fresh seafood on its way to you. Heaven, right? Book here to make it a reality.

The Pilot Boat sits at the edge of the beach, and offers great seaside views whilst you dine. There’s a ship themed interior for the winter months, and a larger terrace ready for when the sun decides to make an appearance. Plus, it's open from breakfast through to dinner to keep you fed all day long.

The Millside is located in the artisan quarter of Lyme Regis, with a menu consisting mainly of seafood, using ingredients that are seasonal and locally sourced. The decor is pared back and chic, with colours that are reminiscent of the seaside.

Tom’s Lyme Regis is renowned for its premium selection of seafood dishes, as well as plenty of options for meat eaters and veggies alike. Classical dishes are given a creative twist, and are served with the stunning backdrop of Lyme Bay.

Glebe House is an oasis of calm in the Devon countryside, boasting a guest house, restaurant and 15 acre smallholding. The restaurant is Italian inspired, with nose to tail cooking and plenty of seasonal ingredients, and provides proper comfort food that's executed with finesse. It's a little outside the town itself, but we think it's worth the jaunt. 

It may come as no surprise that Poco Pizza has a limited menu, serving only pizza, as it follows the mantra of ‘do one thing and do it well’. These are Roman style pizzas with a thin crispy base and authentic toppings, which would easily have you mistaken for being on the Amalfi Coast when eaten on the sunny terrace overlooking the harbour.

Harriet Mansell's gorgeous restaurant and wine bar has become the toast of the south west, showing off her elegant seasonal cooking style that makes full use of the wild food bounty of the south coast. With a great selection of wines by the glass and predictably superb food, this restaurant has been a fixture in our list of the best restaurants in the UK for a few years now, and long may it continue.

If you’re after some good grub with breathtaking views over Lyme Bay, then look no further. With its undisrupted sweep of Cobb Harbour and the world famous Jurassic coastline, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and tuck into some locally caught seafood.

Herbie’s is the locals' go-to for decent fish and chips, with its perfectly crispy batter, thick cut chips and a wedge of lemon for added freshness. Want our advice? Take it down to the beach for a proper British summer experience.

This open plan restaurant offers a laid back space to retreat to after a day at the beach, with tables and benches both indoors and along the large sun drenched terrace outside. SWIM offers a delicious, hearty menu full of things like burgers, Korean wings and full English.

The motto here is ‘British when it’s right, international when it’s called for’, but always top quality, seasonal ingredients. Open for lunch and dinner, you can relax in the intimate dining room with unparalleled views of Lyme Bay.
