The best restaurants in Lymington Town New Forest South East

Lovely panini, fresh and tasty, plus a great cup of tea and tasty fresh flapjack. Lovely service and great place on the Lymington Quay front.

Ella was so helpful and was so kind . This place is so beautiful Live music was so nice and fun will definitely come back to this beautiful place. Had fun having tequila shots and baby Guinnesses.

It might look like a cafe on the outside (if you can find it), but there’s a proper restaurant with a proper kitchen on the inside. A small but varied menu, good portions and tasty. The chef was out among the guests, taking orders and asking if all ok. Well placed confidence. We would definitely return.

The best bubble tea I’ve ever had! I tried a pineapple bubble tea with mango flavoured bubbles. It is by far the nicest bubble tea I’ve ever tried. If you are in Lymington and bubble tea then this is the place to go. I also tried the coconut flavoured milk based bubble tea as my wife had that and was equally as delightful.

Visited for a quick coffee on 6.11.24. Excellent coffee best we’ve had in a very long time. Surroundings very clean. Would thoroughly recommend. Will be back again.

We dine here most months, always taking the full tasting menu and it changes completely each month which is remarkable considering the size and complexity of the menus and - I assume - a small kitchen! A few days ago we ate the 12 days of Christmas menu which was absolutely amazing, every bite was delicious and the dishes were so imaginative. Stand out dishes were “French Hens” and “Calling Birds”!

Excellent pasties, served by a really helpful chat. Will definitely be buying more pasties.

Charming, cozy little coffee shop in a lovely location on the high street. Staff are friendly and efficient but I found the prices to be a bit too high. It's a nice place for a treat, but not ideal if you're on a budget or looking for a regular shop for your daily coffee!

Our second visit to Lymington, and we headed straight to The Cellar - where else can you get a bottle of Minuty Prestige for less than £35?! Charming service, and we also sampled the gin taster this time around - and each time we get the valuable window seat for excellent people watching. Can’t wait to return!

Great restaurant, a little difficult to find on a blustery, rainy night! Staff were excellent, asked the kitchen to stay open until we eventually found them, gave us helpful directions to get to them. Great food and drinks. Very attentive service, our waitress kindly arranged a cab for when we finished dinner. Thank you

Tucked away just off the High Street, this is an intriguing old religious building that has been transformed into a friendly restaurant with various levels. On a quiet midweek lunchtime, we were offered a varied and interesting menu which led to each one of our party of five choosing a different main course. All plates were cleared! We sampled two of the desserts between us and the beautifully presented home made ice creams were outstanding both in quality and variety. The other offerings were beautifully presented and again all plates were cleared. In future this will be our go to destination for meals in Lymington.

5 stars! Food was incredible, staff were amazing and very hands on. Will definitely be returning soon and recommending to others. Thank you Rivaaz team ⭐️☺️

Staff were inattentive, slovenly and ill-kempt. Service was slow and food in general of average quality. It was much better 2 years ago.

Happened upon this place by chance and very glad we did ... great breakfast at a reasonable price along with very friendly and efficient service. Would go back in a heartbeat.

What a lovely little Italian restaurant, only a few minutes walk from our hotel. It is my husband's birthday so it was a lovely treat to eat in such a romantic place. The food was fab. Hot, plentiful portions, served by a young man (sorry didn't get his name), with attention and extremely polite. My husband had the linguine with mixed seafood and I had a vegetarian pasta which was heavenly. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area
