Lemana - Carta

Lovely lunch outside on a sunny day, service good, very helpful staff, catered very well with my husbands dietary needs, he has to have a gluten, wheat and dairy free diet. Would recommend to anyone with dietary problems.

We had a lovely breakfast in Lymington on our first morning. We thoroughly enjoyed the original rustic charm of this family-owned restaurant. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious! I would definitely recommend it!

Excellent welcoming cafe. Variety of cakes and savouries. Homemade Minestrone soup was excellent. Dorset Apple Cake perfect. All on one level but toilet inaccessible. Excellent covid arrangements. Some outside seating. Staff lovely. Ver carta

Weather was great and feet aching so we stopped off at Lemana which is hidden just off the high street. There is nice quiet outside seating at rear so sat outside. Had coffee and tea cakes which set us up nicely for remainder of day....Staff friendly.

A cute little tucked-away cafe with friendly service. We enjoyed our lunch (sweet potato and coconut soup, quiche with side salad, ear grey tea and hot chocolate) sat outside in the sun. Service could be a tad more attentive and the food a bit more...elevated, but prices were very reasonable.

I know times are not good at the moment but the waitress just tried to put people off by saying that there was 30 minutes waiting time and no seats. (There was some available) we know things are not good at the moment BUT...please try to be helpful. This is no way to act when customers are essential. Ver carta

Visited on a Saturday (market day). Order was taken quickly and we paid up front for our meal. If we had waited to pay, we would of left earlier as we had a 45 min wait for a jacket potato. Another table waited the same...amount of time for soup and a slice of cake. How long does it take to cut open a jacket potato and fill it?!!! I wouldn't mind but 4 staff were stood around at one point doing nothing. No one in charge and no organisation. When the food came it was okay, they would make money if the turnover was quicker.

I am responding to the negative reviews because I had a positive experience at this restaurant. Although we were informed there would be a wait upon arrival, it was helpful information that allowed us to prepare our hungry children beforehand and prevent a family argument. The waitress was brief but efficient, and the menu offered a wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and whole food options despite COVID restrictions. My only complaint is that during our last visit, a lovely waitress with rainbow hair took the time to chat with us for a moment, making us feel very welcome. I wonder where she is now?

Our hot chocolates were served lukewarm, so we politely asked if they could be heated up in a microwave. Despite the kitchen being busy, we expected a better response from a café. As a vegetarian, I ordered a cheese and pickle roll but found it contained sausage as well. When we raised this with the waitress, she confirmed it was correct, even though we had specifically asked for vegan/vegetarian options when ordering. The manager refused to come out and discuss the issue, instead choosing to chat and eat by the window. Unwilling to eat incorrect food, we left and do not plan to return. I am fortunate not to have allergies, as this experience could have been even worse. It is disappointing t... Ver carta
