The Guildhall TavernThe Guildhall Tavern is just two minutes’ walk from the Quay, so it’s within easy reach of self-catering Poole accommodation. The menu has a sophisticated emphasis on French seafood, so expect locally-sourced crab, lobster and fish. All dishes are created with unmistakable French flair, so The Guildhall Tavern can give a special feel to evening a relaxed meal during your holiday. |
Lakeside Fish RestaurantHere’s a sneaky tip for when trying out this Poole favourite, book ahead and ask for a table by the window! The views across the lake make this a perfect restaurant for a relaxing meal, and although they specialise in fish there are plenty of other choices on the menu. There’s also a take away service, so if you’d rather grab something to enjoy by the sea then bear it in mind. |
Al Gatta NeroWhere do we start with this Italian restaurant? The TripAdvisor reviewers love Al Gatta Nero, and for one thing they rave about the warm welcome from the owners. One couple are always greeted as old friends, and with the menu full of homemade, authentic cuisine this is perfect for a family in self-catering accommodation in Poole. The laidback atmosphere means this is a good spot for a meal for two, and many celebrate at at Al Gatta Nero too.

Sandbanks Beach CafeThis bright and airy cafe is a welcome sight during a self-catering Poole holiday, especially when you’ve enjoyed the sun and sand for a few hours! Sandbanks Beach Cafe has unbelievable views of the coast, so you can admire the sea even while you pause from the beach to eat. This is one of Sandbanks’ most popular eateries, and as one reviewer put it ‘nice cakes!’. If you’re not sure what to go for, try the cream teas. Sandbanks is one of the UK's most affluent areas, so why not ditch the glitz for an afternoon and tuck in by the beach?! |
Karma Mediterranean GrillKarma Mediterranean Grill and Bistro tops the TripAdvisor reviews, so if you’re holidaying in self-catering Poole accommodation you may want to pay it a visit! This restaurant is very family-friendly, and it has a cosy feel that’ll makes you feel at home. Karma’s relaxed approach makes this a popular choice with those who enjoy an unhurried meal (which let’s face it, is most of us!). One reviewer claims that this is the ‘best restaurant in Poole’, and with reasonable prices and a varied menu we can see why. |
