Millside, Lyme Regis 01297 445999
I have to admit that we haven't eaten here, but some of our guests have highly recommended this restaurant in the middle of Lyme Regis. It has been really popular this Summer so very few places available. Fine dining with a riverside location.
Rachel's Seafood Shack, The Quay, West Bay
Such a popular place it's hard to get a table, just wait or get there early, it is worth it. Fabulous seafood overlooking West Bay harbour, open every day except Tuesdays for lunch, weather permitting as all tables are outside.
Hix Oyster and Fish House, Lyme Regis 01297 446910
Panoramic views over Lyme Regis. Open 6 days a week, closed Mondays. British seafood menu based on catch of the day.
