Good food and great views at The Alice Lisle Inn

THERE’S nothing quite like a hearty, traditional Sunday lunch to cheer you up on a wintry weekend.

First class, purse-friendly food at Graze

THINK of Lymington and immediately you imagine upmarket bars, bistros and fine dining on locally-caught sea food.

Food with a view at The Edge

TAKING the glass elevator to the Edge restaurant is a mysterious way to start an evening meal.

Something special about The Print Room

ONE of my favourite places to dine for a special occasion is The Print Room which is conveniently located under the Echo office!

Room for improvement at Fishy Fishy

9:00am Friday 6th January 2012

WHEN most people hear that X Factor host Dermot O’Leary is one of the owners of the Fishy Fishy restaurant in Poole – they half expect to see the shiny-suited TV presenter propping up the bar.

Food and prices to smile about at Mint

11:20am Monday 26th December 2011

ALTHOUGH Mint opened on the corner of Ashley Cross in Poole a few years ago, I’d never set foot through the door until now as I’d been put off by the garishly bright lights inside.

An express lunch that's true to its word at the Norfolk Royale Hotel

11:10am Friday 23rd December 2011

DURING the week, lunchtime usually means desktop dining – not very inspiring, but it saves time and money.

So much more than just raw fish at Oishii Oishii Sushi

1:20pm Saturday 17th December 2011

WE HAD planned to eat at Oishii Oishii on at least three occasions. Life does have a habit of getting in the way, though, so when we heard that the sushi and noodle bar had launched a new takeaway and delivery service we decided we’d let the food come to us instead.

Top food made with tandoor loving care at Sakib Spice

9:10am Friday 16th December 2011

EVERYONE has their favourite curry house and Sakib Spice in Tuckton has built up a reputation for good local Indian cuisine for more than 13 years.

Delicious food to go at Canton

YOUR cupboard is like old Mother Hubbard’s, you’re too tired and hungry to face the supermarket so it’s the perfect time for a Monday night takeaway.
