Award-Winning Restaurant & Boutique Rooms in Shaftesbury
Established in 1991, La Fleur de Lys has evolved from a refined dining destination to a boutique restaurant with rooms, maintaining a commitment to excellence. Our journey began in Shaftesbury's Salisbury Street before relocating to a former girls' boarding house on Bleke Street, which we transformed into a stylish venue. With over three decades of experience, we prioritise local produce and seasonal ingredients, crafting menus that reflect regional flavours. Led by David, Mary, and Marc, our team combines global culinary expertise with warm hospitality. We host exclusive events, wine tastings, and seasonal celebrations, offering both residents and non-residents an intimate dining experience.Our eight en-suite rooms provide comfort and character, complementing our gastronomic offerings. We uphold founding principles of value, personal service, and attention to detail, ensuring every guest's experience is memorable. Our partnerships with local suppliers and vineyards reinforce our dedication to quality and community. As a family-run business, we strive to make every visitor feel at home while maintaining high standards of culinary artistry.
