Shell Bay Restaurant & Bistro Ferry Road, Studland, BH19 3BA www.shellbay.net 01929 450363 Best For: Special treat Shell Bay has without a doubt one of the most picturesque dining locations in Dorset. Nuzzled on the edge of the Isle of Purbeck, diners can enjoy views across to Brownsea Island. The menu changes with the day’s catch and you can pre-order a lobster or crab from the local fisherman. 56 Storm Fish Restaurant The Olive Tree Fisherman Pete Miles and his wife Frances opened Storm with the aim of serving their customers the best produce they could – Pete even catches the fish himself. Inside the rustically decorated restaurant the menu changes daily – the Goan fish curry with plaice and grey mullet is a particular favourite. You can’t pick up a guide about Dorset without coming across the Olive Tree. Voted one of the Best Fish Bistro Restaurants in Britain by the Sunday Times, the restaurant has been growing in popularity. Owners Stephane (the chef) and Simon pride themselves on offering great food and sourcing ingredients locally. 16 High Street, Poole, BH15 1BP www.stormfish.co.uk 01202 674 970 Best For: Everyday treat 59 East Street, Bridport, DT6 3LB www.olivetreerestaurant.net 01308 422882 Best For: Everyday dining www.menu-dorset.co.uk t u o t a e Send us your dinners Have you made a pilgrimage to a foodie destination in the county?
