Lovely food in a lovely setting, a favourite in Lyme.

Attended a Tapas Cookery class. Ed & Giselle were wonderful hosts, it was a very relaxed, fun and (most importantly) delicious day. Have recommended the experience to several people as gifts. Perfect way to spend a Sunday.Dietary restrictions: They adapted some dishes for a coeliac on the course.

Had a fabulous evening here on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The warmth and welcome of the place was fantastic and despite not having booked, we were made very welcome (a party of 19 was about to turn up at any minute as well) The staff were engaging, knowledgeable and polite. Owners Ed and Giselle were charming and our waitress, Emma from Manchester was great fun.) The food – small Tapas plates, was amazing. The Pig Cheeks with Prunes and Sherry, Chicken Skewers with Micro Herbs and Yoghurt, Cod Cheeks in Tomato Sauce and the Canaries Style potatoes with Mojo-Rojo Sauce – were delicious. The Burnt Cheesecake with Cinnamon Apples to finish was divine – you must try to pay them a visit.

Undertook a Paella Cooking Course - what a fantastic day! The instructional process is relaxed, informative and fun, one of the best cookery courses I have experienced. Ed and Giselle are both passionate and enthusiastic about Spanish cooking, which comes across in abundance during the course. Highly recommended. will definitely book another Spanish cooking experience as well as booking a table for dinner.

Popped into this lovely Spanish themed tapas place for a quick lunch while walking the dog. The place was empty which rarely bodes well, but oh what a joy. We had the butter bean, chorizo and smoked sausage stew with bread and olive oil and a bottle of light Spanish red and it was utterly delicious. Finished with a raspberry and almond frangipane and a salted chocolate brownie for me. We also walked out with a couple of tins of Spanish paprika. So it begs the question 'how is it this place is empty, ever!'. The stew was a revelation of flavour with the smoke coursing through the dish like an Argentinian BBQ, the beans, which actually I have struggled with eating in my life were delicious and really held the flavours of the spicing perfectly. Normally I would take a photo, but I was way too busy to think about that while my taste buds were being so wonderfully tickled. Oh and they do classes also if you fancy recreating some of the tapas dishes on offer.

Go! It's fabulous, with delicious food, friendly and engaging service and a warm atmosphere. We felt lucky to get a table on an impromptu visit and wish we lived closer!

Ed and Giselle are the fantastic owners of this beautiful restaurant, delivering outstanding food and cookery courses. The food is sublime, the atmosphere just right, and the service spot on. The cookery courses are a delight too, and you learn so much. Ed provides a lot of background information and stories about the dishes whikst Giselle guides you through how to many them. We love eating at The Stawberry Tree when we can, and always enjoy a delightful evening. The small retail area also offers many of the olives, honey, wines etc. that are used in the restaurant. This is a wonderful place which I can recommend without hesitation.

After visting the Strawberry Tree on a couple of occasions whilst on holiday, we decided to do one of their cookery classes on Sunday. All i can say is wow...from the greeting on arrival to the warm good bye several hours later, Ed, Giselle and the team made us feel very special and welcome. Learning the secrets to cooking some excellent tapas from Giselle and the background of the food from Ed was worth the 4 hour drive home!! Thanks again to you both and see you again in June when we are next in Lyme.

Amazing family owned tapas restaurant with impressive choice off unique alcohols (ice cider, dessrt wines, sherry, and more). I highly recommend this restaurant, not only because of delicious food, but also because of its cosy atmosphere.
Dined with my wife on our summer holiday. Although very busy our server was very attentive and could not do enough for us. I believe he was called Simon. A very relaxing atmosphere and high quality food, the best prawns we have had in a very long time. Hope to return on our next break

Wonderful atmosphere and attentive service at the restaurant, food and drinks both came out very quickly. The food was delicious - varied menu so there’s something for everyone at great prices. We were celebrating a birthday when we visited and the staff made it extra special. Would highly recommend booking in if visiting Lyme Regis.

We love this place and return every year, it offers very local, original, fresh and tasty tapas, lovely service and atmosphere!! My stand out dish was the smoked sardines in a creamed nut sauce and herb oil…delicious!! Oh and the Hake!! Can’t wait for next year!!

I would have missed this place completely, as it’s in between the two main shopping streets in town, and boy would I have been missing a treat. With its delicious (very authentic) tapas and fabulous cocktails, this cosy little restaurant is well worth a visit. Charming staff too. The Prawns pil-pil were the highlight for me…I felt like I was back in Spain…but my wife enjoyed the croquetas more…but everything was good. This will be top of my list for next time we’re in Lyme Regis…and I will probably try to sync up my visit with one of their cooking classes - I’ve always felt scared to try making paella but I would bet that fear will evaporate after a class here.
