A cosy little Italian restaurant located in the centre of Lyme Regis, location for the filming of  "The French Lieutenant's Woman", and one-time home of Jane Austen, Lyme Bay Kitchen and Bar has a contemporary distinctiveness that stands out from the local tea cafes and restaurants. Well set tables, good music and comfortable leatherette seating create a classy ambiance whilst a friendly welcome adds a touch of warmth.

Inspired by regional Italian cuisine, high quality seasonal ingredients form the backbone of the cooking at Lyme Bay Kitchen. Expect to find a selection of Italian breads well-coupled with ice-breakers such as whitebait or Pomodoro Leonardo, an olive oil based mix of mozzarella cheese, sundried tomatoes and basil. Thus inspired you could pick a hearty lasagne, a roasted swordfish steak or a classic pasta like the penne pesto. A good variety of freshly prepared pizzas is also to hand as is a medley of homemade desserts for a perfect finish.
