Drgnfly in Poole offers a contemporary take on Pan-Asian dining, bringing together flavours from across the region with a focus on beautifully presented dishes and striking decor. Designed as more than just your standard meal, Drgnfly is an experience, lending itself to date nights, celebrations and sociable group dining, with a menu that moves easily between sharing plates and more substantial dishes.
Inside, the setting is elegant and romantic. A large blossom tree takes centre stage, with lanterns hanging from its branches to cast a soft, ambient glow across the room. Dark wooden tables and chairs ground the space, while red velvet cushions and floral displays add contrast. Black lattice detailing features across the bar and reception, paired with warm gold accents and statement lighting, including a large central lantern and a softly lit ceiling. Additional touches such as a display of samurai swords, red leather bar stools and a decorative peacock set within the tree add to the sense of theatre and give the space a distinctive identity.
The menu is designed for sharing, with a wide range of dishes spanning nibbles, small plates and larger options. Starters include spicy edamame, crispy wontons and nori, alongside cold plates such as sesame-crusted tuna and shredded crab. Hot small plates include crispy chicken with ponzu and spring rolls, while robata skewers range from braised pork belly to teriyaki-glazed king oyster mushrooms. Mains include rice bowls, wok-fried noodles, stir-fries, katsu curries and larger plates such as wagyu burgers and mushroom risotto.
A separate sushi menu features sashimi, maki and larger platters, all made to order. Bottomless lunch offers a more relaxed daytime option, with drinks upgrades available. Finish up with indulgent desserts, including matcha brulee, banana fritters and grilled pineapple, alongside dessert cocktails.
