Not to be missed…read more.. During a visit to Poole, we were lucky to pass upon R's Kitchen by chance after dining somewhere nearby. We returned for breakfast the next morning & our experience was extremely pleasant having had a delicious, unhurried breakfast from a varied breakfast menu. As my breakfast date said, "R's kitchen really gets it" - with using & supporting local suppliers for their fresh ingredients of which their dinner menus are based upon; having the philosophy of cooking by season; individually wrapped chocolates on all the tables, plenty of fair trade filter coffee refills, friendly & warm service & modest prices. The waitress mentioned that R's Kitchen is merely a few months old & we hope it does extremely well succeeding with locals as well as tourists alike. In addition to breakfast, they have lunch & dinner menus & offer homemade cakes & drinks during the day. We were sorry we didn't find it sooner to experience their dinner menu & will be back one day despite the 2+ hour drive from London!

It was topped with an amaretto biscuit and cream dollop. It was perfect !!! Really great place and excellent food. It's right near boats area. I'm sure it's marvelous in summer. !!

Pollo forza Pizza…read more Boy I always had an opinion or notion the best pizza I tasted till date are made in Italy only , the ones I tried near trevi fountain! But to my surprise pizza express has changed my notion ! Delicious and one of the best I had off late This one has chicken with smoked chillies, red and yellow bell peppers , dried chilli flakes , sundried tomatoes , roquito pepper , gran Milano cheese and some fresh parsley Pizza express is a popular chain in UK serving some delicious pizzas to its patrons They have close to 470 outlets across UK , quite a popular and old brand since 1965. And I have tried this one based on my friends recco Absolutely loved it , generous toppings , perfect thin crust and it's perfect The ambiance is pretty descent with comfortable seating options and a small open air space at the back yard The staff are usp for this outlet , they are dutiful and polite They do their best to make sure it's a great day with a memorable and palatable meal for you out there Happiness for me is pizza with loads of cheese and right toppings #polloforza #pizza #krantiawelltravelledgourmand #krantikrishna007

They use the genuine cheeses so you don't get that glutinous mass that some take aways give you. I had the Venezia which is a vegetarian option and only £7.50. My companion had the same and couldn't finish, so I had plenty for a picnic lunch the next day. Very Yummy!!! The interior is simple and rather basic, but made up for by the friendly staff, good food and atmosphere. It's near enough to the Quay for an evening walk or to join the festivities at the waterfront in summer. Nice clean toilets!

There are lots of black and white photos of boats and ships, all in Poole harbour, and some of them are very old. I had a half of Ringwood 49er - sorry ale lovers, I can't do it! I want my bacardi and coke! Found it just too filling and not the right taste for me - it's beer. More like German bier though. I'll certainly be back to try some of the food. I'll be back even if I don't try the food!

There's only one thing better than Fish and Chips and that's Fish and Chips by the sea…read more Having spent most of the day in Winchester, my friend took me to Harlees, which is right on the quay at Poole, for what she thinks is the best fish and chips in town. Yep, she was right. I ordered a regular cod and chips meal for about £6. The cod was HUGE, the batter nice and crisp, plus there were bits as well! The chips were also lovely, covered in salt and vinegar. It was served in a box as well, which was a novelty to me. I couldn't resist but to start eating my chips as we were walking along the quay, and I reckon the smell of the sea air just adds to the saltiness of the chips, making them even better. The cod was really well cooked, with the crispness of the batter complementing the "melt in your mouth"-ness from the fish. So next time you're in Poole, check out Harlees. I know I'll be back!

Me and my partner came here a couple of months ago whilst my brother was in town and we tried the…read morefood here and by accident we had discovered a secret little gem. As we sat outside by the harbour we came to realisation that the chips were probably the most delicious we had ever tasted... at least when we visited on that occasion. We went back yesterday evening as my partners mother was in town and we opted to eat in using the restaurant. We had given glowing recommendations of this place to her mother as well as many friends and colleagues but we were absolutely and completely disappointed when we were served our food. The food was very bland, boring and nowhere even close to the same quality it was just a couple of months ago. The chips lacked their distinctive crispy coating texture and flavour. I spoke to the waitress and manager on several occasions because it was like we had come to a totally different restaurant. I asked the manager, 'what's happened to the place?', 'are the diners served the same food as those who get takeaway?' and 'are you using a different chef or kitchen because the food has gone seriously down hill?' Unfortunately, the only feedback I got as to why the food may not have been so much to my liking was because a different type of potato might have been used due to seasonal harvests. Well I'm sorry, and I'm no potato specialist but I doubt that the type of potato chosen would affect a decrease in quality to the level we experienced. The blame can only fall to one reason in my opinion; poor cooking skills and ability. It seems to me that something negative has affected what's being put out from the kitchen. Also, the portion size seemed relatively small for the priced you paid at £3 for about 12 chips. Lastly, my partners mother ordered desert (I didn't as I didn't think my terrible main deserved a desert order). She ordered the apple crumble only to be told by the manager that he would not be happy to sell it to us (so basically it had gone off). She did order another desert which she was reasonably happy with but overall I would not recommend this place to anyone. I think we will be going to Chez Fred's in the future!

A work colleague recommended this place for a good pint and pizza. The group agreed, and five or six of us made our way (walked through the old town) to the Stable.

We ordered, and commenced to visiting in this laid back atmosphere, hang out place -- about a block from the quay. Pizzas arrived, and oh my it was great. A bit of sharing commenced.
