Jakob's Mediterranean Bakeries - Poole

Oriel is always a good choice for a dining experience. However, there were a few minor issues during our visit. When we mentioned it was someone's birthday, we were hoping for a simple birthday wish at least. Unfortunately, there was no acknowledgement of the occasion. While we didn't expect any freebies, we did end up spending quite a bit. Additionally, the oriental fried dish that was part of the birthday celebration was overly salty, possibly due to an excess of soy sauce. When the waitress inquired about our meal, I mentioned the issue. It was surprising when the same feedback was passed back to the kitchen.

This restaurant is a hidden gem! My partner and I had an amazing dining experience with a stunning view. The food was delicious and catered perfectly to our dietary restrictions (I am lactose intolerant and my partner is a vegetarian). They had a great selection for vegans, even including vegan cake! The staff were friendly, personable, and attentive. The restaurant has a charming and clean ambiance with a relaxed yet comfortable atmosphere.

Popped in here as we didn't fancy a pub meal. More cafe than fancy restaurant but an enjoyable meal all the same. A wide variety of dishes. Only Maria serving when we went on a Wednesday it was busy. Perfect for casual dining people in shorts and jeans.

Very friendly staff, nice environment great tasty food.

Went there after a long day at Durdle Door and then went back to Poole to do a little crab fishing with the kids. The gentleman who greeted us was very friendly, we were seated immediately and initially opted to sit outside. As it was early evening it was getting a little chilly so the man gave the kids a nice thick warm blanket, which they kids loved. Unfortunately our youngest was still cold so we ended up inside, upstairs which again was really nice. All the meals were excellent, best meal we’ve had the 2 days we were in Dorset! Can’t fault the value given the location. Would definitely recommend and will visit again when we’re next in Poole!
