Turtle Bay Bournemouth

Came to turtle bay, Bournemouth for the first time this evening. Myself and my fiancé cannot fault anything about it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was amazing, the drinks were excellent. But our most enjoyable experience was the service we received from our waiter Ryan!! He was absolutely exceptional, so friendly and very helpful with giving us an understanding on what drinks/food to order. I highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back for more again and again!

Mad Cucumber

A lovely visit with my family for my sister's birthday. So many options, and certainly the food is impressive, good prices and flavourful- not just your standard vegan food range! The building is chic, atmosphere is friendly and great extra touch with the board games. Will be becoming a regular now :)

Da Mario Wood Fired Pizza

FANTASTIC PIZZA ?I recommend the white base pizza (custom toppings on this occasion) and without doubt the anti pasta board for starters ??A special mention to the kids butterfly pizza, fun and creative for the little ones

Harvester Cooper Dean Bournemouth

Came in here with my family and the visit from start to finish was amazing. All staff were brilliant and nothing seemed to much trouble. Food was excellent quality and really tasty and what I deemed a fare price. Can't wait to visit again and would recommend to friends for a great family experience.5*

Picnic Park Deli

We came here as a group of 25 after our wedding ceremony and it was just amazing. I had been speaking to the team beforehand and they were really lovely and communicative and our guests loved having a cocktail overlooking the gardens. We were also lucky they had a great singer on at the same time. We’ve also come here casually for coffees, can definitely recommend.

Etna Pizzeria

Full menu with great choices of wonderful food, this restaurant is definately worth visiting. The chef prepares amazing dishes, very well presented and generous portions, the staff are attentive and helpful and the owner in a class of his own! We will definitely visit again

The Luxor Restaurant

The chargrilled chicken breast was absolutely sensational. The salad was perfectly dressed.The Baklava was the win for the day. Perfect blend of flavors and spices, a cozy atmosphere and great dining.P.S- Please use fresh flowers or no flowers at all, I think the tables are better off without the plastic flowers.

O'Neill's Bournemouth

Just visited for drinks, but the service was really good - happy, young staff who were friendly and helpful. There are two bars on different levels and both have a good atmosphere. Very central. I'd go again if I was in the area.

Cherries Cafe(tina)

Popped in for a coffee with my laptop whilst waiting for my car in a local garage. The food looked lovely and I wish that I hadn't had breakfast before I left home because I would quite happily have eaten many things from their menu. Staff very attentive and polite and I would return again if in the

wagamama bournemouth

I recently dined at Wagamama, and it was a stellar experience. The firecracker chicken, yakisoba, tama squid, and chilli squid dishes were nothing short of amazing. Each bite was a burst of flavors that left me thoroughly impressed. The service was excellent, and the ambiance added to the overall enjoyment. Wagamama definitely earns a solid 5 stars for delivering exceptional food and a delightful dining atmosphere.

Beirut Lounge Restaurant

Nice Lebanese restaurant situated along Old Christchurch Road.Plenty of options on the menu for all tastes.Prices are fairly reasonable. We had the chefs special, whilst not the best presented for a 'fine dining' restaurant, flavours were good, and portions were large.Restaurant had a nice deco and accompanied by Lebanese contemporary music.

29 Spices

Warm welcome on arrival, service was quick and friendly and the food was amazing! Provided extra mint sauce as it was so nice :) would recommend to anyone visiting Bournemouth or surrounding areas

Slug & Lettuce - Old Christchurch Road Bournemouth

Josh is a very nice, friendly, professional bar person. The food was really good and we didn’t have to wait long for it. There wasn’t any atmosphere to speak of as it was early lunchtime and we were the only people in the pub! When we left other customers had started to arrive. We would definitely go back again.

Art Sushi

Excellent nigiri and sashimi, we tried the omakase nigiri and chef’s sashimi selection and highly recommend both. Some very nice sake selection as well. On top of the great sushi, the restaurant has a modern and clean design.

Slug & Lettuce - The Square Bournemouth

came here around 2pm today for a quick cocktail whilst doing some studying, the presentation of the drinks/dessert was honestly so so amazing!! huge credit to the two bar staff (a man and a woman) they were so lovely and professional and friendly, also the chefs are clearly very talented and put a lot of effort into attention to detail! honestly only came here for a quick drink and was so so impressed- the food and the drinks was made to look so so pretty:) thank you so much to the team for making it so nice- will definitely be coming back and couldn’t recommend this place more! :) xxx

Bournemouth Pizza Co

I’m a deliveroo driver and while picking up an order I asked for some water as I had been driving for 6 hours straight. The lady with dark hair was SO nice and got me some ice cold water no problem at all. If the service is that good for a random delivery driver, I imagine that the service for customers would be amazing! Thanks so much and I can’t wait to come back as a customer❤️

La Stalla

What an amazing place! The food, the chef, the hospitality were all absolutely incredible.I have never felt more welcome and valued as a customer. The chef spoke to us personally and helped with recommendations, he was lovely to talk to, making time for each of his customers.The seafood is beautiful and cooked with genuine love and passion.We will definitely be back and be recommending La Stalla to everyone.Thank you for a lovely evening!

Renoufs Cheese and Wine Bar

Very friendly staff, fast service, good food and great wine :) The waiter who attended us was real nice, remembered us from our first visit, and was knowledgeable on the wines served. We will be visiting again soon :)

Eat Pho - Authentic Vietnamese Restaurant

Starters were very tasty, spring rolls and chicken skewers. Mains were Pho and Wok fried mixed meat noodles both were very tasty too. Pot of green tea also. Good value for money. Good service too.Vegetarian options: There was a Vegan section which looked good.

Baraca Restaurant

Whilst vising the restaurant I had an opportunity to taste their prize winning Chilli dip. It was so delicious, the perfect amount of heat for my taste. It was so nice I obtained a jar! I will be going back for more. It knocks similar dips out of the park .. Congratulations to the lady chef !Vegetarian options: The baked aubergine was delicious I could easily had another portion... Its clear that the chef only uses the best, freshest ingredients to make it so tasty, and to leave wanting more. Bravo Baracca!

The Way Outback Brewing Company

Nice atmosphere and good service from the more experienced members of staff. Wasn’t too keen on the beers but the vanilla stout was lush. Lots of dogs here, which is a good thing. Wood burner too. Probably not somewhere I’d return to but a nice place to go.

The Westbourne

Had a great time here watching the football. Breakfast was really good and not at all expensive. Good range of beers. Everybody was so friendly, staff and customers. I've always sat outside but it was lovely inside so clean and inviting. Loved it. Will come again.

Cosy Club

Been a couple times before and always had good experience. Came for breakfast the other day and all the food was really great. Recommend the dirty breakfast butty for sure. Reasonable prices and good service. Good vege options as

Street Goose

Such a fantastic independent, perfect for every occasion! We come regularly for date night and get takeaway often. But biggest shout to this place for being the venue I booked for a baby shower. They did a special buffet menu, all cooked fresh and reloaded constantly, did a special themed drinks menu (non alcoholic cocktails included). Great value for money and the most exceptional service. They couldn't have been more accommodating and lovely with every request. Can't recommend enough!!!

The Curlew

We love the curlew, it's always been a fond favourite of mine and is now at its best for a long time. Lovely ambience, proper cosy pub vibes with open fires and comfortable furniture. The food is the real star of the show though, it's always top notch comfort food cooked perfectly, I love their pies!The staff are kind and great with children and dogs. My only slight issue is pricing is now quite high in my opinion especially in an area with so much choice for good food. We'd go far more often if it was more affordable but I understand the struggles pubs face so it's a treat for us.

Crown

Service was exemplary and can't wait to see how the pub looks after it has been finished. Food tasted great and was hot, manager on duty was exceptional and friendly and the other bar staff were all happy and

Harvester Neptune Bournemouth

Sea facing paradise. Happening place , very god ambience and cordial staff. We drove down to Bournemouth to enjoy the beach with some good food and bear. This restaurant serves you the best of the food and the best part is you get unlimited salads. Not only its value for money but very cordial staff. Iys a must visit place.

Westbourne Grill House

Quaint place with excellent food and great service. Only thing that dampened the experience was a particularly loud customer. Immediately felt more pleasant once they left. I wish the staff could have asked them to be quieter because they were clearly ruining the experience for everyone else present.

Reefside Takeaway

Visiting Boscombe recently I fancied a lunchtime snack after walking along the promenade. Stopped off at the pier and saw the Reefside Takeaway alongside the shop and ice cream store at the entrance to the pier. They had quite a varied menu including specials on a board outside. I chose scampi and chips from the main menu. I'm only writing this review because the food I received exceeded my expectations!! The scampi was delicious and the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside - just as you would expect. Very impressed with this from what looks like a small outlet - I think there is more to this take away than meets the eye - they obviously take a pride in what they serve. Reasonable prices, and drinks available too. What more could you want for a delicious lunchtime snack to eat on the pier or on the beach!!!!

yobu Frozen Yogurt & Bubble Tea, Bournemouth

Went in for bubble tea and had a warm milky matcha one and a cold blueberry one. Tapioca bubbles and mango jelly!Vegetarian options: Most of the drinks are veggie

7Bone Burger Co. Bournemouth

What a great place. Anyone who reads my reviews knows I love good burgers. And these are good burgers. Really friendly staff. Nice clean place and the food is lovely.Good size portions at a reasonable price.

The Porterhouse Westbourne

Fantastic pub! Always a warm welcome from the locals when we visit (we are from out of town) amazing entertainment especially at weekend, always have a good night here. Pleased to see quiz master has changed too :)

The Prom Diner

We were there around noon on Sunday, second week of September. Hungry and trying to escape the sudden rain. In short - great location, average food and service.My flat white was a 2 in 1 Nescafé, as I saw the waitress “brew” it. The cod was over fried, the burger was missing any other elements outside of beef and a single leaf of salad. The fries and pancakes were tasty.The young waitress seemed very uninterested and didn’t even know the number of our table, it felt like us ordering our food was of great burden for her. The lady who brought the food out was very pleasant and professional. 1 star for the young waitress and 5 for her more experienced colleague. The chef accommodated our request to have salt free food for our toddler, which was great.

Woodpecker Cafe Queen's Park

Food good. Portion size could be better on salad garnish. Good service.Not advisable to go there when they are doing an event as menu changes and often run out of basic ingredients like Chicken on this occassion.

Cranleigh

First time we have been here. Came for my anniversary. Eleanor was so polite and helpful. Offered free drink for our anniversary. Unexpected and really appreciated it. Felt welcome. Matthew was really good with the service. Service was really good but fudge cake wasn't warm and fish was okay not wow.

Fika Bournemouth

It's about time I wrote a review!I have been a customer at Fika for about 6 months now. In that time I have met some lovely people, sampled great coffee and eaten some tasty treats. Fika is a lovely little community and is the place to go for happy and relaxed vibes. Rob and Char are also legends and great at what they do.

South Coast Coffee

This place is such a cozy surprise. The food was very well priced and delicious! Plenty to choose from and for everyone. Staff was very friendly and plenty of space. It's also dog friendly!

Central Story-Street Food

Everything was delicious. Truffle fries, crumbed cauliflower and the vegan burger. Friendly owners too. If you are near here, you need to try this food. Amazing.Vegetarian options: Best vegetarian burger in England.

Zizzi - Bournemouth

This marked our third visit, this time to celebrate my birthday. Each experience surpasses the last. The service is exceptional, and the staff, who go above and beyond, are truly amazing. We chose to sit outside with our dog and were warmly attended to by Martha, whose vibrant energy made the experience even more enjoyable. As a chef myself, I'm notoriously hard to please, but every dish we tried was absolutely divine. Kudos to the chef, and a big thank you to Martha for being awesome.Vegetarian options: Vegan& vegeterian

Cristallo

Apologies to start. Informed the great waiter we would be back after a show however, the show ended up finishing 45 minutes later and was at the pavilion not BIC. Being disabled i could not make it back before closing. Not sure about the other negative views but my wife and i had a great time,service from our waiter (2/11/23) and food were fantastic. Recommend the lamb steak off the specials board.

The Real Greek - Bournemouth

Loved this place! We visited on our last day in Bournemouth and its fair to say we went out with a bang! Service was second to none, staff very friendly and accommodating, location ideal and food fantastic! The restaurant has lighted, heated, covered balcony seating with a beautiful view. Very clean venue. The prices are in line with what you would expect but worth it. The thing I liked the most is that they accept Groupon voucers, and unlike some places, do not look down at you for it and treat you with the same professional hospitality as any other customer. Highly recommend and will be returning on next visit to Bournemouth.

Harry Ramsden's

It is great fish and chips no doubt, but I think it is quite expensive, this should be the cheapest food in the UK, it cost me 15£ that is not normal.The place is wonderful right on the beach and there are a lot of activities there. The tartar sauce is the best, highly recommended.Vegetarian options: You can order chips only it is greatWheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible

Sakib Spice

I planned to celebrate my birthday on Saturday 26th February with a lunchtime Indian banquet. The only takeaway willing to do this was Shakib spice. The owner helped me plan the food for 18 people and delivered it at 1pm as agreed. The food was excellent as usual and was enjoyed by all. Many thanks.

Prezzo Italian Restaurant Bournemouth Westover Road

We loved the fact we could take our dog here. The waiters were so friendly. The food was tasty it was just a shame that we asked for things like tap water for the table, cheese and these kept getting forgotten. After asking a couple of times they did get brought to us. My pasta was delicious and piping hot and my biscoff cheesecake was tasty.

The Mary Shelley - JD Wetherspoon

Food was easy to order from the app. My steak was cooked perfectly and the prices were reasonable. Just wish they had a more extensive menu as only 1 steak was available. But it was cooked exactly how I asked for it on the app. Delicious!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access to the pub but not to the gents toilets which are down stairs

Papa Johns Pizza

Seb delivered excellent service and made sure our order was ready in a timely manner despite the rush.You should give him more hours if possible because I would prefer to just get service from them.

Dragon Inn Chinese Takeaway

First time customer - will NOT be the last time!Huge portions of house curry, special fried rice, chicken chow mein, 2 pancake rolls - plenty for 2 with leftovers. Absolutely delicious, you can taste just how fresh it is. Delivered within 25 mins even though good distance between us. Thank you so much

Had a lovely meal here on a Friday night. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, I’ve never seen a risotto look so good! Service was perfect too, they were very attentive and food came fast. Will definitely be coming back here!Vegetarian options: Lots of authentic vegetarian pasta options!

Sala Thai Restaurant

Went with four friends for dinner. The staff were so lovely, service was really good. Food was amazing so so good. We got starters and mains. I had the duck spring rolls and red curry with coconut rice was so good and really good portion sizes! Had some of my friends yellow curry too and was so nice. Will definitely go again!

Sixty Million Postcards

Loved having lunch here. Pub has lots of personality. Events advertised, which looked appealing. I enjoyed taking pictures at the photo booth downstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, all of our group had burgers, chips, and slaw. Reasonably priced. Lots of choice of food and drink. I would highly recommend coming here.

Pumpkin Cafe

Very friendly staff and the drink I ordered was amazing. It's got a good steady flow where it is on the train station. Only real issue is that the cafe could do with a makeover.

BrewDog Bournemouth

Absolutely love this place, if you're passionate about beer, amazing food, great atmosphere, plenty of social events and probably the most genuinely nice staff you could find in a restaurant/bar, then I highly recommend BrewDog Bournemouth! A shout-out to John and Charlie who are friendly knowledgeable and a laugh, always enjoy the quizzes every Thursday!

Lan Club Karaoke

We came to this restaurant as a family for dinner and were impressed by the wide selection of ingredients available for the hotpot. In addition to the delicious food, we were able to have a fun time singing karaoke with the wide range of English and Chinese music to choose from. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely come back again.

Walkabout - Bournemouth

The best Sunday night out, and the most enjoyed venue out of 10 plus visited in a long weekend in BM…DJ on point like a compass: worked through many genres with something for everyone, great vibes, dance floor packed. Friendly crowd, mix of ages.Service friendly and efficient with almost zero queue due to excellent staffing levelsToilets very clean , unlike other venues that were disgraceful.Bouncers friendly, and just generally a good spirit and energy between everyone working there.They even pulled out free Krisby Kreme donuts, I mean come on!Don’t hesitate to go out on a Sunday night as it was epic!

Susan Chinese Takeaway

Smiley and friendly, the staff are top.For the food... we've tried Christchurch, somerford, Bournemouth main, Kinson and Susan's are the best we've found so far, reasonably priced and fantastic food.Reviews are old and really dont do this little gem any justice! Absolutely GREAT food.

Starbucks Coffee

I feel this Starbucks is better than the other one in town. Spaces feel more clean and looked after. More space and light, so overall, better that the other one. I reckon there is a latin waitress who loves latin music because the music selection was the same the two times I have been there (nothing against latin music, but some variety is also appreciated).

Chez Fred

Cod and chips lunchtime special.Served with mushy peas.Bread roll and tea or coffee included.Lovely white fish with this crispy batter...it was delicious.You can have extra chips if you would like them as well!

Olive Cafe

A very popular cafe with a great menu and very affordable dishes, Run by very friendly staff, and served very quickly, it's a really good place to set yourself up for the rest of the day with a big breakfast, Not just full English either, as they do other dishes like avocado on toast with eggs, Turkish inspired breakfast etc, A top notch cafe.

Flirt Cafe Bar

What a wonderful experience I had at Flirt cafe and bar. The food is exquisite, I especially enjoyed a Venezuelan dish called Cachapa. So delicious! I didn’t have to wait too long before the kind and efficient staff served me. All I can say is AMAZING! Great atmosphere and super tasty food! Definitely a must visit.

Casa GourMex

We stopped by for a Saturday morning breakfast/brunch.Francisco helped us choose a Vegetable quesadilla, mixed Tacos, and Hibiscus Ice tea.The food was delicious and great to get to know Francisco while he made our food fresh.We will definitely be coming back!

Rory's American Diner Delivery

An excellent takeaway that I have been using for about a year. The food is always well cooked, tasty,hot and fresh. Give them a try and you won’t be disappointed.Thank you Rory’

The Peppermill

A great café, the food is consistently good and tastes home made, fantastic selection on offer too, all at reasonable prices. The service is always spot on, quick and very friendly. For my wife and I living in Southbourne, It is our local café so you do have many regular customers which enriches the ambience into a friendly place to be. Give it a try! You will not be disappointed.

The Bell

Great location for a match day. Good British style pub near Vitality stadium. A short walk from Southbourne. Nice garden out the back where they sell decent burgers. Was a bit raucous when taken over with Chelsea hardcore fans up for a good time, still it’s a bar and no less than I expected. Everyone was friendly and in good spirits especially after the 1-3 result. Good service. Ideal venue.

The Brew Cafe

This is the best place I have ever eaten at. The food is fantastic and it is all very homely! The service is second to none and all for great value. I will always recommend this place. Thank you all!

English Rose Cafe

Amazing food as usual, I’ve been coming to this cafe for years, I had the mega breakfast, it was amazing, food was piping hot as always and I had a cup of tea and that was lovely and hot, I definitely would recommend and the prices are so reasonable, such a friendly cafe and lovely and warm inside.

Westbourne Sandwich Company

Absolutely fantastic food, can't recommend enough. Jacket potato was spot on and no hard parts, plenty of filling too. Ham and chicken salad was fantastic even 2 days later from the fridge for lunch it still tasted fresh. The meat was a generous portion size. Black Americano was just right. Recommend this place to friends and family too and will be ordering again very soon. Fantastic prices too. Highly recommended.

Kumpi - Next Level Baked Potatoes (Cheesy Jacket Potatoes)

My husband and I don’t come here often but when we do we love it! The staff are super friendly and helpful, happy to guide you through everything and what they offer. If you’ve been a couple of times they recognise you and have a chat. There is a chilled atmosphere and the food is delicious. We usually go for the Deal for 2 consisting of a potato each, a side each and a drink each.This time we went for a White Potato with Halloumi, White Potato with BBQ Chicken, Side of Meatballs & Halloumi, and cans of drink.The taste / flavour of the food is just delicious and so filling as well, we were satisfied for hours! We can never fault the food or service here and really need to come back more often to try the different options available, and to give those fluffy looking pancakes a try!Highly recommend Kumpi, you won’t regret it.

Bentos

For months i have eaten there with both as take out and dine in its a magnificent experience. I just love the food and the atmosphere inside. It feels like home and and the food feels like it as well. I love the people who runs it they are always so polite and kind. It always brings a smile to my face when mentioned and when i visit. The food might be worlds best for me. Every dish on yhe menu is 10/10. Thank you❤️

Forno Sourdough Pizza Bar

The food the hospitality the service everything was just amazing! I have never had pizza that tasted this good!! Amazing ambience too!My favourite Italian restaurant in Bournemouth.

Malvern Road Fisheries

You people who moan about Malvern road fish and chips wanna go elsewhere there's nothing wrong with there food at all I go there quite often and being 20 years in the hotel trade cheffing I will say the food in Malvern road fish and chip shop is the best in Bournemouth for its quality and quantity

The Iford Bridge

Located right by Iford bridge, this is a fairly large pub serving a standard beer range (no craft beer that I could see) plus 4 or 5 cask ales. Food was tasty and served hot. Great spot near the river and dog friendly too. Good value.
