Lyme Regis Restaurants and Dining

(Lyme Regis, Dorset, England, UK)

Many beach-goers spending a day on the sand choose to either bring a picnic with them, or take advantage of the various kiosks, cafes, bakeries, tearooms and eateries lining the Marine Parade, with traditional fish and chips often prove to be the perfect options.

Restaurants, public houses and further dining opportunities are never far from hand in Lyme Regis, and can fill up quickly when the sun is shining. Lunchtimes and evenings can be busy and if you are looking for a pleasant sit-down meal, then restaurants in Lyme Regis serve everything from seafood and steaks, to Asian, Indian, Italian and Spanish dishes.

Where to Eat

Seafront dining in Lyme Regis is especially popular with holiday makers, particularly on a balmy summer's evening. For the best coastal views, consider the restaurants, bistros and eateries along the Marine Parade, such as the Harbour Inn and the By The Bay.

Both of these eateries feature an array of tempting seafood dishes and come complete with terrace areas, overlooking Town Beach.

Often very notable restaurant choices in the Lyme Regis area include the Hix Oyster and Fish House, which stands on Cobb Road and boasts uninterrupted views of the Cobb and surrounding coastline.

Close to the town and in nearby Axminster is the recently opened Canteen at River Cottage restaurant of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall fame, which is a good option for a hearty Sunday lunch and also sells fresh local produce.
