Best Lunch Restaurants in Swanage

My 2nd time at The Ivy in Bournemouth Square! I went with a friend and we both had a brilliant experience. The food was excellent. I can highly recommend the sea bass. It is superb and cooked to perfection 👌🏽 Our waitress, Vida was attentive, helpful and friendly. I can honestly say that this is the best restaurant in Bournemouth and the surrounding areas. The decor is delightful and a feast for the eyes. It's a wonderful and welcoming place. From the receptionist to the manager, the service is impeccable.

Lovely location in a charming village with plenty of parking in their own car park. Restaurant itself is clean and well presented with lots of interesting things to look at. It was very quiet when we were there as it was out of season but the owner kindly stayed open late to acomodate us. The staff were very pleasant and attentive, but not intrusive, and willing to chat when spoken to - very knowledgable about the area. Most importantly the food is outstanding - absolutely delicious and hot! Not a single complaint from all six of us and I am sure we will be returning.

Pleasantly surprised at the peaceful atmosphere. We could enjoy this good meal and hear each other speak, such an unusual feature as you grow older. I hear the breakfast is very good too!

We had a lovely meal, a lovely lady who was our waitress for the evening, I her name was Rosie, was wonderful, so bubbly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Amazing food from their new autumn menu. Excellent and friendly service from the service staff and really good value for money. Highly recommended.
