The only restaurant in Swanage where you can have supper inside or out and see the sunset! Good for breakfast and sundowners too.

Zeze’s Mediterranean Meze Bar
Rooftop alfresco dining. Great views out over Swanage bay.
This has amazing view of Studland and Old Harry Rocks. It servies excellent food, but gets very booked up. However, they do have a terrace which serves drinks and 'flatbreads' from a pizza oven. This is open from midday and works on a first come first served basis (I would recommend arriving there before midday as they often have to turn people away when the queue gets too big). Parking is not allowed at The Pig for the terrace but the National Trust Middle Beach car park is very close.
