Enjoyed a Chinese meal here that truly hit the spot on flavour and value. The dishes were fresh, well balanced, generously portioned and so many different things to choose. The whole experience was very satisfying from start to finish would recommend and would go back
Ming Wah Restaurant – WeymouthExcellent carvery, wide choice of meats and veggies, pleasantly served by a friendly, helpful chef although he was under a lot of pressure. Very friendly helpful staff from front of house to table service. Really enjoyed our first visit, it won’t be our last!
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthFabulous food, fresh hot and plentiful. Staff lovely.
Ming Wah Restaurant – WeymouthMy previous review had errors in it. Although the cats were lovely and the atmosphere was nice, the service was terrible. We got our drinks but no milk, we had to ask for some. By the time the milk came the drinks were luke warm. We waited absolutely ages for our food, but when it finally came there was no cutlery. Again, we had to ask for some (certain foods you cannot eat with your hands) by the time the cutlery came some of our food was cold and the toast was soggy from the scrambled egg sitting on it for so long. Sadly, a very disappointing experience and we will not go there again.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterFood very good, limited desserts. Service very slow.
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthExcellent meal with friends, great food and service. We will certainly be going back.
Dolce Vita – PooleCame for a visit as my girls had discovered it, cats lovely, staff very nice, was quite pricey for what we had, I chose avocado bruschetta but it wasn’t bruschetta it was normal white toast, no serviettes and cutlery out of draw cat had sat on. Overall a nice experience but won’t be repeating
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterWe had an excellent cup of coffee and Bacon Bap. The 4 cats were so friendly especially when I was given the treat tin. Nice chatting to the owner. Lovely atmosphere and would definitely go back to see how they are all growing up.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterOne of the best experiences in both me and my partner have ever had, absolutely exemplary in both food and the cats themselves. If you even remotely like cats and are out for lunch absolutely book a table, the four cats they have there are some of the sweetest and cutest i have ever seen. I will absolutely be revisiting now and then to see how the kittens grow, especially sushi.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterI have to say the food was lovely but the atmosphere and service for me was poor, this was a Friday and it wasn’t that busy we was waiting for ages for our drinks after we ordered I had to ask 4 times where were our drinks, everyone else got theirs before us even though we ordered before them, service needs to be better for me, so I won’t be recommending I’m afraid
Ming Wah Restaurant – WeymouthA lovely little cat cafe with friendly, attentive staff. I took my 8 year old daughter and her younger cousins, one of which is 3 who enjoyed the food and amenities on offer which included drawing and games. My daughter in particular loved playing with the friendly cats, one of which was a very friendly kitten. All of the cats were little darlings, friendly and sociable. I would recommend a visit to all.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterThis was my 4th visit over a period of a few years. Service excellent, food superb you can't go wrong. Booking recommended.
Ming Wah Restaurant – WeymouthLovely time with my nephew visiting Tabby Terrace. The 4 resident cats are super cute. My nephew enjoyed his sausage bap and a cup cake and I my cup of tea. Would definitely return hopefully going to bring my cat mad friend very soon.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterBook a table for 4 lovely atmosphere and service was very efficient and staff very pleasant Couldn’t fault the food we chose several dishes to share, we wasn’t rushed it was perfect and reasonably priced

Ming Wah Restaurant – WeymouthAlways lovely carvery and tip top service
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthLovely little cat cafe, smaller than we expected but still lots of interactions with the lovely cats. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was tasty and very reasonable in price. All four of the cats were delightful, clearly well looked after and happy to be there. Will visit again soon.
