I visited Dandelion for an evening meal with my wife in May 2013. Food was very good, restaurant very pleasant and service was spot on. We started with scallops from the Specials board and pork belly from the main menu. Scallops were fine, but the pork, served with chorizo and black pudding was absolutely delicious. For mains we had a... More

I spent a wonderful week in Lulworth Cove with family last week, we had lovely accommodation, great weather and mostly delicious food. Having been to the Lulworth Cove Inn several times, we thought that we would try the Dandelion Cafe, I opted for one of the specials which looked lovely when it came, I moved the fish off the top...

On a visit to Lulworth Cove on a rare gloriously sunny day and having already had a pint in the Lulworth Cove Inn ( lovely pub, uninspired menu) I really was looking for something with a little local produce about it and a nice place to sit and eat it at. The Dandelion fitted the bill perfectly. Lovely interior but... More

Enjoyed eating here twice whilst staying in the Mill Hotel. The food was exceptional in this delightful and comfortable restaurant. A varied menu of fresh local produce served on well presented plates and the taste was as good as it looked. There was also a good wine list at fair prices. The food itself was well priced for its quality.... More

We had dinner and lunch here. Dinner was excellent. I chose the from the specials board and staff were more than happy to provide vegetarian dishes for my wife. Daughters thought the fish and chips were really good. Good use of locally sourced seafood and very nice local cider. A good variety of dishes and an excellent specials board. Lunch... More

After a steep walk up the cliffs we arrived hungry , windswept and in walking clothes but with no booking. Despite this the staff were happy to squeeze us in amongst their more 'well groomed' customers. I had the scallops from the specials board which were delicious. The rest of the family chose from the main menu. The childrens pizza... More

After a tiring walk in some cruel winds to Lulworth Cove we stopped at the Dandelion Cafe Bistro for a rest and a cup of tea. They served up a fantastically aromatic loose-leaf tea that made us think, if the tea is this good the food must be pretty decent. So we returned the next evening for a meal and... More

The restaurant is set up well so you are not sitting too close to other diners. We chose our meal from the specials board which is more expensive, you have a good choice of prices on the menu. The fish was really tasty but only a small fillet which was fine for me but if you have a big appetite... More
