Remember: 10/10/2009
You only live once; food is absolutely essential and is one of life`s pleasures---------so enjoy it!

Being subjective at the same time that you are objective is what is needed in assessing restaurants. It's the feel good factor, the total package, does the restaurant give you a lift, is it a place to escape to? In some cases it's that true gourmet experience in others it's just a fantastic experience the 'buzz' the 'crack' that makes it special.
Here are just a few that we highly recommend;

Manor House Hotel Studland Bay Dorset 24/04/2008 Andrew Purkis
"Welcome to the Manor House Hotel situated on Studland Bay, Dorset, one of the most beautiful places in England. I can't take credit for the glorious views and the beaches. But I am proud to provide a comfortable and relaxing hotel with good food and attentive but informal service, to give you the break you deserve.
Our aim is to offer a haven for you to relax in comfort. Besides comfortable bedrooms, relaxing public areas and excellent food, we also have plenty of staff who have time to help you with any request."

Guildhall Tavern 27/03/2008
This one is a little cracker, the buzz, the food, the wines - the overall package does not come much better.
Located just two minutes from Poole Quay, patron chef Frederic with front of house partner Severine have put together a restaurant "to go for" - such a friendly atmosphere makes a visit, even on the dullest of days, uplifting - it's just fantastic!
A good family restaurant which is proud of its house specialities of locally landed fresh fish, crab and lobster etc, their Bouillabaisse is second to none! As with the meat and vegetarian dishes and home-made desserts, they have mastered their craft and, of course, their "plat du jour"
A good selection of fine wines, traditional well-kept real ales, plus chilled lagers are available.

Food served from midday until 2.30pm and from 6.30 until 9.30pm (closed Mondays except Bank Holidays).

Clube de Jornalistas Restaurante 18/03/2006
Andre Magalhaes's notorious restaurant has the lot except the vista. It offers the finest culinary experiences along with the chit- chat of the great and the good. Whilst being served extremely good food you can catch up on the latest on the righteous and may be not so righteous. The 'buzz' the 'crack' is an experience, but do not underestimate the capability of Andre's team in feeding you 'intellectual fodder' but also the most excellent food! A must, must - when in Lisbon.
