We’ve been to Oriel for breakfast and lunch many times over the years and it’s always fantastic, the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food delicious. We stopped by for an early lunch and both had a baguette, my husband had the Salmon & Prawn whilst I had the Falafel & Hummus one, both served with side salad and some tortilla chips… plus we added a portion of fries. The baguettes were filled, with the filling coming out the sides with every bite, they were delicious! And the fries were perfectly crispy, all washed down with some San Miguel. To top off a wonderful lunch in the sun we were served by the amazing manager Helene, she is SO lovely and fun to be around, you can have a great laugh with her and she treats you like family, keeping us retuning. We MUST finally get round to having dinner here!

A great spot overlooking the harbour. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The menu was very competitively priced. We had lunch and had the home made fish finger sandwich, absolutely delicious followed by a delicious coffee.

Great restaurant on Poole Quay. Open all day for food or just drinks. Friendly staff, food always good, not overpriced for the Quay. Often have themed nights. Can book or walk in off the street.

The Full English breakfast was delicious and the juice was freshly squeezed. The waiter Jess was very friendly at the same time she was meticulous to the details. She also recommended me place to go as it was my first time visiting the town.

Chose this restaurant as it stated a gluten free menu. My daughter struggles with finding things she likes as most places are geared more towards adults. This restaurant had a great choice of pizza and pasta she was spoilt for choice, the staff were lovely.
Dessert was lovely too :)

We came here for breakfast, I was surprised at how lovely the interior was.... Kind of expecting a more cafe feel and it was more than that... Loved the murals on the walls
The menu was really nice with lots of choice so something for everyone... I only had toast which was delicious but my other half had the full English... Really well presented and cooked perfectly
Service was really good and great location.... Perfect start to the day

I recently visited Poole and had a fantastic lunch at Oriel on the Quay. We had prawns, mussels and lobster and everything was fresh and delicious. The location is great and they also have a nice outdoor area right beside the pier. Will definitely go again.

Lovely little restaurant next to the Quay. We sat in a small section opposite the road, nearer to the waters' edge and it was lovely. Happened to be there on a Tuesday evening in the summer when they the town hosts 'Bike Night' (the road gets closed off to all traffic other than bikers and hundreds of them fill the Quay for the evening).
Food at the restaurant was lovely, if a little on the pricey side but I suppose you're paying just as much for the location, as the food.
Would go back again though.

Enjoying a chill out day with a larger & my Golden Years friends. Very friendly service by Ryan who helped get enough chairs together so all 11 of us could sit down.
Chips, garlic bread & a fantastic Buddha bowl

Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast today. Sat outside under a cloudless blue sky and the view was superb. We had the full english breakfast which at £12.50 each isn't cheap, but it was excellent, as was the cappuccino.

A great little find on the Poole Quay waterfront. We only stopped for a coffee but indulged in a wonderful slice of carrot cake each, generous and delicious. Staff were fast and efficient. The restaurant looked good, with an extensive daily specials board. Toilets were clean, even luxurious. I would thoroughly recommend.

Always good at the Oriel. Just a couple of niggles. If you come over to say is this the birthday girl? at least wish her happy birthday! 🙄 There was no other acknowledgement. Not expecting freebies but we did spend quite a lot. Also the birthday girl's oriental stir fry was way too salty, possibly too much soy sauce. The waitress asked how it was so I told her. Wonder if the message got back to the kitchen?
