A great little relaxed shack with delightful meals, efficient friendly service and parking in a beachy setting. Very popular so MUST book. It is not a 'cafe' in the generic sense of a quick coffee and bun but a genuine fish bistro. The crab stuffed sole was delicious and the plate of hot bacon & parmesan oysters made a delicious...

Food excellent but a bit expensive- but possibly one of the best places in Weymouth. Ambience fantastic, and service was great. Great place for a hot evening as it has a good courtyard to sit in.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that the fish was beautiful, and the service excellent but not all courses were worth the money. My sister and I both started with the Crab Caesar salad which was obviously very fresh but at £10.50 per portion I was a tad disappointed. It was literally a salad with some... More

After an long and cold cycle we wanted a place to refresh and the Crab House cafe looked like a beautiful place where we could do this. As soon as we stepped into the cafe we were blocked by a waiter, "how can I help you?" he spat, his body language said it all. I explained that we would like... More

The Crab House Cafe, on the road between Portland and Dorset, was a terrific find this bank holiday. Fortunately we had booked as we could have been sorely disappointed. It bustles with locals who must love fine dining at a most reasonable cost. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The chef is producing beautifully presented food, with an inventive... More

Went, for second time (March 2012 and April 2013) and had another delicious meal. Couldn't get fresher, relaxed atmosphere, helpful (but not pushy) staff and superb fresh fish cooked excellently. 2 people with bottle of wine just under £100 including service.

I absolutely love this place! We have been there already couple of time and always were very happy. The food is great and always so fresh. The restaurant got its own oyster farm on the banks of Fleet Lagoon and own grown vegetables, herbs, fruits and if the weather is nice is great to seat outside. Truly recommend.
