Description: Mallams is a long standing favourite of both locals and visitors since 1990. The restaurant is in an beautiful position with views of the bustling harbour.The Tudor beams and stone walls of the listed building have a traditional feel but are complemented by contemporary decor. The food is very definitely in the 21st century, an eclectic mix of ideas from Britain and around the world, always using the freshest and local produce. Seafood is much in evidence, as you would expect, but meat, game and poultry feature too.All this mixed with exciting wines and cocktails and friendly and attentive service and a really personal touch from the hands on owners make this a venue to remember. We are always happy to discuss your requirements for special celebrations, anniversaries, weddings, birthdays and we will be pleased to design a special menu just for you.NOW OPEN EVERY EVENING.

A friendly and efficient restaurant serving quality food well. Not cheap by any measure, but still value for money. No long waits between courses despite every table fully occupied. Vegetables other than potatoes, were an optional extra. I'd like to have seen these included even if it bumped up the price of the main course a little. Pleasant waiting staff... More

Very cosy little place next to the harbour. On being seated you are first presented with a booklet of aperitifs, which has some interesting and unusual items to start your meal (we also repeated our choices to round off the meal). The food and wine menus was good and varied and the food itself was very good. The service was... More

I have been to the restaurant with my friend - we didn't have any booking, but we were lucky to get a table for two although the restaurant was quite full. The service was great, however the young ladies should smile a bit more as they looked pretty stressed. We were offered everything from hanging our jackets, through the starters... More

Mallam's is well situated and it caught our eye during a short stay in Weymouth in May this year. On arrival, we had a rather cool greeting from the chap (owner/manager?) and the girl who served us was also somewhat glum. The service overall, although efficient, was delivered without charm. The food ranged from pleasing to disappointing. I had a... More

Food magnificent! Scallops and crab cakes perfectly cooked. I had two starters which were ample. We both had Citrus Pudding Assortment - really tangy and refreshing. Husband had the 'fish of the day' - gurnard. The gurnard, he said, was a boring fish but the saffron sauce was delicious. Why only 4*? It would have been a good detail to... More

First time in Weymouth, Birthday weekend, excellent time was had by all , but Mallams was the highlight, superb food and wine, service nicely relaxed never felt under pressure to move on to next course. Would certainly make the effort to plan in advance to bok again.
