La Fleur de Lys
About
La Fleur de Lys is a family‑run fine‑dining restaurant and boutique accommodation nestled in the historic hilltop town of Shaftesbury. Founded in 1991, the business evolved from a modest Salisbury Street café into its current stylish venue, a former girls’ boarding house on Bleke Street that now offers a sophisticated dining room, twelve‑hour outdoor terrace and eight individually‑styled en‑suite rooms. The culinary team, headed by award‑winning chefs David and Marc, crafts seasonal menus that highlight local produce and fine‑quality ingredients, complemented by an extensive wine list curated by Peake Wines. Guests can enjoy a two‑ to three‑course dinner or a five‑course tasting menu, with each dish presented as a fresh, handcrafted experience. In addition to its restaurant, La Fleur de Lys offers a breakfast‑and‑dinner “Dinner Bed & Breakfast” package from £255 per couple per night, providing a memorable stay in an intimate, historic setting. The restaurant’s opening hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm, with special arrangements available for pre‑arranged lunch parties and festive events. The on‑site accommodation features cosy double rooms, each with a private bathroom, small fridge and complimentary milk, designed to combine character and modern comfort. With fine dining, relaxing rooms and a prime historic location, La Fleur de Lys is an ideal destination for couples and diners seeking an authentic English country‑side experience. Guests appreciate the warm hospitality, the quality of the food, and the thoughtful touches throughout the property, including complimentary Wi‑Fi, free parking and accessibility for wheelchair users.
