I live on my own and the Rembrant is local, I regularly go for my Sunday Lunch, The quality of the food is second to none, the staff are very professional and polite and friendly. Because I'm on my own I feel comfortable going to the Rembrant.
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthHad an amazing dinner last night. Always love coming here. Service was great and the food was even better. Thanks for a wonderful evening
Bodega – ChristchurchWe had a lovely meal at The Thomas Tripp, friendly service, good food. I had a Ceaser salad and spicy chips, Ceaser salad is a risky order I often think but it was great! Busy, fun atmosphere - would go again. Many thanks!
The Thomas Tripp – ChristchurchA rainy final day of the summer holidays left us with the option of seeing if Tabby Terrace could fit me and my 12 year old son in for lunch. Within seconds of taking my coat off I had 2 kittens asleep on my knee…this was after Mr. Bean confiscated the terms and conditions, first lying on them and then sweeping them off the table. Who has time for small print when there is kitten cuddling to be done? The kittens quickly woke up and went off to entertain other visitors. The food was delicious and my son said on the way to his first day of school this morning that he wished he could have another Bacon, Brie and cranberry panini to match it…looks like we will be visiting again very soon!
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterWarm welcome on arrival, lovely setting, servers were both very friendly and knowledgeable. Lovely atmosphere, great recommendations and did not at any time feel rushed or ignored. Lovely evening and food was incredible. Best Old Fashioned yet. Thank you.
Bodega – ChristchurchGood food and impeccable service, Carla served us and she was extremely attentive.
Dolce Vita – PooleAfter searching online for a Sunday roast, we booked a table at The Thomas Tripp. It's a great place, steeped in history with a story to tell! The food and service were brilliant, and to top it off, there was live music. We will definitely be back!
The Thomas Tripp – ChristchurchVery good service. Great vegetarian options.
Ming Wah Restaurant – WeymouthI was very excited to hear a cat cafe had just opened up in Dorchester. I've been to many other cat cafes and the entry charges for the others have been between £5 and £15. Tabby Terrace charges £2.50 per person but is free for under 10s. I think this is a very fair charge and I highly recommend people take advantage of this just in case the welfare charge goes up. The visit time is an hour and half which is more than other cat cafes. Their plan is to get more cats in as there are only 3 very small cute kittens at the moment. The kittens are incredibly playful and don't mind a fuss. Beans was our favourite and enjoyed sitting on my lap and even my partners head! The food and drinks menu had a good selection from breakfast to lunch to sides. The drinks have cat related names which makes it fun to order. The atmosphere was enjoyable and relaxed. An ideal place for cat lovers. The decor was cat themed with cat wallpaper and cat paintings. The staff were really friendly and treated the kittens well. They were happy to answer any questions. The only issue is how hot it was in there but they did have the fan on. This might not be an issue over winter and hopefully, they might improve air con for next summer. I am definitely coming back again to see how the kittens turn into cats and adjust well to their environment.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterMy family thoroughly enjoyed our recent visit to Tabby Terrace. The three young cats are very friendly and remarkably tolerant of my young grandchildren. I think your cafe was the best bit of their school summer holiday!
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterMe and my daughter booked to visit. It’s a lovely cafe, staff are really friendly, 3 adorable kittens and a box of toys to play with them. Will definitely return to see them.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterStaff were really lovely, but it was incredibly hot. We were sat out the way so never got a chance to see the cats, food was not great.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterWe loved our visit to the cat cafe. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The cats are adorable. Good coffee and my daughter enjoyed the chips! I would love to see a vegan cake on the menu.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterWe had a lovely evening the food was great and the staff were fab. Thank you
Bodega – ChristchurchWe have been many times before when we visit Weymouth, but were a little nervous this time as it has new owners but I can only say that the food was just as delicious and maybe a little better. Chicken-in black beans sauce was so tasty and tender and not disappointed with the lovely sweet and sour chicken. Going back in a couple of days before we leave also very good service.
Ming Wah Restaurant – WeymouthDelicious food and great service will definitely be returning.
Ming Wah Restaurant – WeymouthThe staff were friendly and helpful. The 3 kittens are friendly and super cute. The drinks are very expensive and not on a menu. There is a small food menu. £2.50pp charge for entry. Lots of small kids charging around and chasing the kittens. Too expensive for any other than a one off novelty experience. Sorry will not be returning.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterI loved the cafe. The kittens were wonderful and one sat on my lap. They were rather keen on my food. Enjoyed the coffee & cake very much. Excellent place to visit and very good value for money. I have paid a lot more to go to other Cat Cafes. I do hope they do well and business continues. Difficult to book but once I got the email address it was not a problem. Will come back again as want to see how the kittens do.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterSunday Carvery served from 12pm-9pm. Large selection of meats, trimmings and vegetables plus fish and vegetarian options. Adults, £18.50; Children, £12.
