Restaurants near Cerne Abbas Giant

We have been to Al Molo a few times now and are delighted we can bring our dogs, once of which has separation anxiety so we always need a dog sitter otherwise. We had the valentines menu and were able to order in and advance. We both had duck to start with my husband having lamb as the main and myself the monkfish. Desert was chocolate mousse for me and cheesecake for him. All the food was beautifully presented and so tasty. The chef is amazing. We felt it good value for money for a special occasion and the dogs were given water as well which is a nice touch. They deserve every award going down it was lovely to hear they had got the Bronze Dorset Tourist award (should have been gold). Apologies to any of the diners who were annoyed by Daisy having a little yap on the way in - her eyesight isn’t what it was and she gets a bit overwhelmed. She soon settles down. Thank you again for a wonderful evening.

All the staff are professional, friendly, helpful and service with a smile, nothing is too much trouble. On arrival you are immediately asked if you or your party have allergies. Drinks order taken promptly and left with an extensive menu to make your selection plus a specials board, if you are not ready they give you more time. Knowledgeable about all the dishes but also happy to check with the chef. Food is always hot and tasty, asked if any sauces are required. Check to see if everything is ok once you have had time to enjoy some of the food. Dessert menu offered but no hard sell. You are not rushed so free to relax and enjoy the occasion. Have been going for many years, I am in a large powerchair and they always seat me at an appropriate table enabling me to be comfortable but also room enough for other customers and servers to get passed safely. Would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed

Service and afternoon tea very good. Will come back.

Really enjoyed the Cote breakfast on New Year’s Day. Excellent food, very pleasant and efficient staff - just a little noisy. This is as a result of sound bouncing off all the hard surfaces. We recently attended similar restaurants that have installed ceiling baffles that improved the noise significantly.

Fantastic meals; great Indian food with a modern twist. Atmosphere and service was superb.
