The best AA Rosette restaurants in Dorset

The best food in Dorset

Getting an AA Rosette for culinary excellence is a huge achievement and something not to be underestimated. All of the Dorset restaurants here have at least 2 Rosettes, which make them stand out as the best places to eat and drink in their area. One restaurant, Summer Lodge, has 3 Rosettes, which means it can be compared with the best restaurants in the UK.
