Restaurants in Bournemouth

Turtle Bay Bournemouth

Food not the best, but the cocktails are amazing and Ryan was great help with choosing cocktails, mixers for drinks and helping my difficult girlfriend with finding a drink that she would like?

Slug & Lettuce - Old Christchurch Road Bournemouth

Chloe was such a lovely server, she constantly came to check on us making sure we were enjoying ourselves and satisfied! really loved my night thankyou!Parking: a lotWheelchair accessibility: easy

Restaurant Roots

We had a world class meal at Roots recently. The dishes were unique, packed with flavour - the love and consideration that has gone into every bite was evident throughout the meal. The service was also outstanding. We will definitely be coming back!

29 Spices

Seems new, clean and pleasant atmosphere. The crew is warm, friendly and attentive to families dining with young children ??Food was great, we had the usual suspects “Paleek Paneer” and “Butter Chicken”(although could still be a tint of spiciness for children); Tandoori King Prawns as well and they all taste amazing!We also had Basmati Rice, Plain & Garlic Naan to go with and our little ones LOVED them all ??Highly recommend to anyone who lives nearby or like us - travelling around Bournemouth Pier and Hengistbury Head Beach ??Stop by and support local business!Free street parking within the Neighbourhood n on the street opposite ??

Picnic Park Deli

Had such a lovely meal here- avocado toast was the best I've ever had and the place has such comfortable, warm vibes. All the staff were lovely too. Would absolutely come back!

The Luxor Restaurant

I've been to the Luxor 2 times. The food is authentic and the place has a great atmosphere. If you are ever feeling homesick, it is the perfect place to go. I have recommended it to all my friends.

Pho

I have been twice in last 3 days ( seeing two different friends)Both times food was 5*.First time 5* waitress. Second time Waiter was weird commented on me having a second cocktail and not my friend (she was driving) - 3*)

Renoufs

Shay provided an exceptional dining experience at Renofous. His attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and efficient service truly enhanced our meal. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made excellent recommendations. Shay's professionalism and genuine hospitality made our visit truly memorable. We'll definitely be returning, thanks to Shay's outstanding service!"

Etna Pizzeria

The only place I would go for Italian in Bournemouth. They always accommodate my menu requests as I am fussy and change things up for me. But always amazing service and food exceptional. Love the front of house, George he’s so happy and makes me smile. Always our number 1 Italian could not recommend highly enough.

Vicolo Restaurant Pizza and Pasta

Really lovely food. You have to go in and try it. It wasn’t busy when we first arrived but got busier as time went on and I can see why! It’s a little hidden gem and you will not be disappointed! Definitely going back with my gluten-free husband as they’ll be plenty he can have - all clearly labelled and with a message at the top of the menu saying gluten free swaps available. Plus I’m veggie and I had so much choice!Vegetarian options: So much choice across pizza, pasta, and risotto. I had pasta this time which was divine!Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options clearly labelled

Slug & Lettuce - The Square Bournemouth

We were served by Libby for my friends 25th for a bottomless brunch. There wasn’t a moment we were without a drink. Libby was very attentive and couldn’t make enough time for us. Would definitely come back ?

Everest-29032 Restaurant

Everest serve great food at an affordable price in a nice restaurant with great service from staff. I ordered a lamb and mint curry and it was the best curry I've eaten in a long time.

7Bone Burger Co. Bournemouth

Food is always very tasty, and the staff are super helpful. Food wait times are a little longer than other places but that's because everything is fresh so it is worth the wait. A little on the more expensive side too but again, worth it. Big portions too.I'd recommend the chicken tenders.

KI-CCHIN Sushi Bar

Best Japanese Restaurante ever!! It was my birthday and I was surprised by a lovely desert and candles ?!! They are wonderful!! Very clean and extremely taste food!! High recommended!!! Will be back soon !!

Earthling

The best kebab wrap I've ever had stuffed to the brim and completely free from! Really friendly service and cosy place to sit! Would definitely recommend and they personalise it to your taste, so you can have it spicy or not, with the salads you choose.

Art Sushi

Art Sushi is a culinary gem! Milos and Che provided impeccable service, ensuring our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. And Kamil's creations? Pure genius! His mastery of flavor combinations is unmatched, elevating each bite to a work of art. A must-visit for sushi enthusiasts!V and Darren xx

O'Neill's Bournemouth

We came in for lunch on St. Patrick's Day. I was being very cheap - having a Groupon to use, along with a free drink voucher. The bar was quiet, and the gentleman manning it was very pleasant and helpful. Our burgers arrived, and were very nice. Maybe a touch sweet, but that's more my own lack of a sweet tooth. I can't say that I had grand expectations, but they were certainly exceeded!

The George Tapps

I lost my ID under the decking and they helped me by getting it out. They have amazing customer service lovely staff. Fiona and David are angles.Dietary restrictions: Amazing help

Street Goose

From the outside entrance & interior style Street Goose looks more the sort of place you’d go for a burger & drink. However, think again and venture there for their Sunday Roast. The roast is excellent with all the trimmings you could wish for including a very tasty cauliflower cheese & a never ending supply of gravy. Hidden away little gem. Remember it’s good to support local independent restaurants (especially when they’re thus good)

Ristorante Barolo

A very busy established restaurant in the heart of Winton. Very much caters for celebratory events as it has aot of space inside, some seating on the pavement outside too. Food is good, service too and staff are friendly.

Renoufs Cheese and Wine Bar

Absolutely brilliant, it’s January so it wasn’t overly busy however… The staff were amazing, the passion and knowledge of our server was second to none. Making a great experience exceptional. I know my wine but these guys live and breathe the stuff. Even though quite ish the atmosphere is exactly what’s needed for an intimate date night, although as a group they have the space. The food was of the highest quality with unexpected extras, always nice. I can’t wait to return.

Harvester Cooper Dean Bournemouth

Elina our waitress was outstanding! Sadly it the food wasn't up to scratch. I know that eating at a Harvester is not going to be a Michelin experience, however the Rump Steak was awful. Very fatty and could not actually cut through it with a steak knife, so I gave up!!Mac n Cheese as a side was also very oily!Scampi was lovely and so was the salad!Elina offered desserts as a way of apology. Elina very amenable and very apologetic, so I asked her if she had cooked or supplied the steak!! ?

Villa Toscana Ristorante

Lovely place, great food and service and wonderful atmosphere! Antipasti vary somewhat in value/size for money but everything is super delicious. Mains - amazing! Desserts could use a couple more options (in my opinion, I like desserts) but the ones available are great. Would 100% go again!

The Coconut Tree

Fabulous food and drink, great value and great service. Thank you for a wonderful time. We will be back!Vegetarian options: A large proportion of the menu is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

Lolas Spanish Tapas Restaurant

Delicious, incredible tapas...which we totally over ordered for 4 people as we forgot that the portions are larger than competitors! Still very reasonable price ??

Westbourne Grill House

We shared the cote de beouf and it was outstanding! Cooked exactly how we asked for it and the sides were a really nice accompaniment including some greens which we love and ordered extra! The staff were super attentive and made us feel really welcome. We had a bottle or Malbec and a cocktail each..the only criticism was that the pina colada came in a small glass and initially the margarita had no salt around the glass..this was quickly rectified with kindness. We thought £120 was great value for money and we think it’s going to become our new fav place.

The Westbourne

I moved to Westbourne a year ago and have made many acquaintances. It's a really friendly pub with a lively atmosphere.The food typical of this type of pub is well prepared and acceptable.Overall a great

Maru Korean restaurant

Really nice atmosphere, food was delicious and a good variety of options. The staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. Reasonable prices. Had a lovely evening will definitely be going again.

Mad Cucumber

Lovely place with chilled atmosphere cater brilliantly for us with delicious options at fair prices. Me and my son went today, they do have a kids menu too. Highly recommend their smoothies as well as the food, thank youVegetarian options: Everything is vegan

Baraca Restaurant

Shared the mixed grill, all looked well until we turned over the meat and it was burned black. Shame as we love these guys and normally lovely food. Place was busy so we didn't complain to prevent any awkwardness.

bp

The Italian Café

Lovely delicious quality food cooked on the premises. Large portions, we had steak and pizza and side orders and starters. Service is friendly and polite. You do have to wait for your food, but that is because it is being freshly cooked. I would eat there again.

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

My go to bubble tea shop since it opened!! Mei and the Yobu crew are so wonderful and the bubble tea is the best bubble tea I’ve had- and I’ve had a lot! The tapioca is fresh and no where else comes close would totally

The Prom Diner

Lovely mothers day snack with my beautiful girls & our beloved dog. Staff so fantastically friendly and helpful/willing to accept my order slightly altered from standard menu.Vegetarian options: Very big selection was spoilt for choice for a change.

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 :)

Woodpecker Cafe Queen's Park

We had our wedding reception at the Woodpecker Cafe and we had the most amazing day! Charlotte was amazing and very professional helping us plan the finer details of our day going through all options and answering all of our questions right to the very day where nothing was too much trouble. The chef made incredible food that was made with so much care as well as being tailored to our specific requests - it was so very delicious and expertly presented with everyone catered for. The whole team made us feel so special and nothing was too much trouble. The level of care and attention throughout the entire day was part of what made our day so very special. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again for any future events. We can’t thank you enough for making our day so special at a very reasonable price too!Just fabulous!

Incups

Best Cafe in Boscombe. Friendly staff, good food and a very good atmosphere. Everyone made to feel welcome and treated like family. Prices excellent and quality of food superb

Cranleigh

Smart redec, friendly staff but too noisy. Probably because they were showing the six nations rugby ??????The burger was good (double with cheese & bacon) Chips were crispy and BBQ sauce was good too. Still noisy, but I'll return.

The Wood Oven

Pizza was tasty, made on a fire wood with the generous amount of ingredients, with crispy edges. They have 8 options, but you can modify if needed. Lager Moretti and Singha and one Ale on the tap, with some bottle drinks. Outside seeting with view on the beach. Happy with this place, would recommend it.

Fika Bournemouth

Love this place! Not to be missed. You are always sure of a brilliant friendly welcome, a top notch coffee (and I'm a tough critic!) and cakes to die for. The biscoff cake is to die for, all served warm. Be sure to stop by.

wagamama bournemouth

Had a lovely meal very tasty meal with chicken and noodles in a bowl with a miso soup. The staff were very attentive and very professional in assessing allergies. Had a nice evening. Only thing that was paying by mobile having to work out the complex algorithms to split the bills , ok if you're young ?

Sushi and Roll

Lovely food and staff ? We’ve been returning customers for over 5 years, and it’s one of our favourite places. Thank you so much for serving us todayVegetarian options: Very few vegetarian & vegan optionsDietary restrictions: Good made by hand so it’s possible to get it without the problematic ingredients. They have vegetarian & vegan options BUT there aren’t manyParking: Usually busy and you have to walk a few streets upKid-friendliness: Child friendlyWheelchair accessibility: No pram space. It’s a very small restaurant

Da Mario Wood Fired Pizza

So glad I booked dinner here. Best pizza I've eaten in a long time..I didn't think I would be able to fit it all in but I wasn't going to leave any!Didn't realise it was cash only and bring your own bottle of alcohol, but luckily cash point round the corner and made a nice change to have a non alcoholic drink.Will visit again when I'm next down x

Agora

Great restaurant for a casual meal. Had a lovely dinner there on a Saturday, didn't need to book. Food was delicious and staff were pleasant.i had a mixed meze and some delicious Turkish

South Coast Coffee

Coffee was so good... and the maple pecan pie . Great to see lgbtq+ representation (unless I'm misreading the colourful menu) recommend coffee spot for sure.

Bournemouth Pizza Co

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bournemouth Pizza Co with my wife and son, and I must say, their freshly made dough is something to rave about. It's wonderfully fluffy with just the right amount of flavour to complement the toppings. I would personally recommend the Napolitana and the Quattro Formaggi pizze.Adding to the positive experience was the warm and friendly service provided by Maribelle. Her welcoming demeanor truly made us feel at home throughout our visit.While the restaurant's atmosphere is charming in its simplicity, I couldn't help but feel that it could be further enhanced with some subtle background music. Nevertheless, the overall experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend Bournemouth Pizza Co. for a tasty meal and excellent service.Parking: Plenty of street parking spaces on side roads, close to restaurant.

Zizzi - Bournemouth

Always had amazing service in this branch of Zizis we have been served a few times by Marta C (sorry if I’ve spelt that wrong) and she has always been very attentive and ensured we had a fabulous evening. Food is also great quality never.

Ali's Brasserie

food was very nice we had prawn cocktails for starters which were very good and then a pathia and a dansak which were both fresh and perfect levels of spice, also the staff were very welcoming and friendly, definitely will be visiting again xxx

Winton Tandoori

I have been visiting this restaurant for many years now. The food is always beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. Service is second to none and the staff are always very friendly. It is a nice quiet restaurant and always nice and clean.

The Real Greek - Bournemouth

We had a great experience thanks to their welcoming hospitality and delicious food. The money you pay is worth it. I can’t recommend any specific food, because all of them were tasty! And I would like to thank you, Thomas; he was pretty helpful with the order decision.Vegetarian options: Variety of meze salads.

Kings Pizza & Kebab

I put a review on here and it's gone so I drive coaches and was on my way back from work and was hungry went here and had kebab meat and chips piping hot as cooked in front chips nice. RecomendParking: Pokesdown Hill just down road from pokesdown StationWheelchair accessibility: Yes yes and yes

Papa Johns Pizza

Went into shop, ordered pizza, waited for pizza, received pizza, left shop, ate pizza. Weird resonance in the room on the letter g#Wheelchair accessibility: Is ramp

Cristallo

Superb experience had at this lovely Italian. Service was attentive without hovering; atmosphere was chilled and the music wasn't too loud (unfortunately often the case these days); and most importantly, the food was amazing. Generous portions, impeccably seasoned and well presented.Was offered some extremely tasty looking deserts but simply too satisfied by the main. Lovely coffee to finish instead.Would thoroughly recommend.

Sakib Spice

Raj & the team are always on the go, constantly busy yet always will take the time to say hello properly! The food is, in my opinion some of the best curry in Bournemouth too!

Bellagio

Sixty Million Postcards

Lan Club Karaoke

Great food, great service, just not very busy to get the atmosphereKid-friendliness: Half price for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair friendly as you need to go upstairs

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!

The Mary Shelley - JD Wetherspoon

A very good Wetherspoons as they can vary a lot (e.g. our local Guildford one is a dump). Nice and clean with good staff and the food was good. Definitely would go back.

Susan Chinese Takeaway

Only 4 stars as quite expensive, but while our usual was closed we had a takeaway here and it was nice food, the Special fried rice had a good quantity of meat and the spare ribs were reminiscent of Young's Kitchen which of course closed some time ago. The fish shop a few doors up is also excellent! ?

KOKORO Bournemouth

Great value and excellent food. Definitely would order again or eat in. I love the paper packaging which is very convenient to store in the fridge or eat directly from it. Portions are so big that we ordered menu for two but had dinner and lunch on the next day, still tasted delicious. Very happy. Thank you guys!!!Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!Visited the store today on Old Christchurch Rd. Super delicious hot food. Never disappointing. Will be coming again.

Starbucks Coffee

Came here and was greeted by a wonderful employee, she was very sweet to me. It’s a shame I couldn’t get her name as I would love to thank her one more time. Was having a bad day but she made it just better, wish the best of luck for

Flirt Cafe Bar

I’ve been a repeat customer for the last few years and it’s one of the best friendly cafes in town. The chefs are always have to cater to slight menu changes, the staff are so welcoming and friendly and the owner is present, professional and welcoming to all customers and staff. Will continue to go here, it’s always busy but they staff will always help you get seated. Very children friendly. Lots of events to get involved in too.Kid-friendliness: The staff are so friendly with children, the have colouring. They are happy to make slight changes for children for food and service. I take my children weekly as I know they are welcomed.

Chez Fred

Great food everything brilliant but be warned that there’s no car park at location & limited opening times.Definitely come back my only negative point is that the tables feel very close together & it’s very noisy so not a place to have a quiet conversation lol!

Olive Cafe

My Partner and I came here for brunch recently. Nice clean dining area and staff warm and welcoming. Let me tell you, this is the best English breakfast I have ever tasted! The eggs are so fresh, the meat is of the highest quality, the halloumi, the whole plate was cleaned within minutes. This place is an absolute gem and I highly recommend coming here for your food if you fancy a world class brunch. Also the 50’s and 60’s playlist with Elvis and Chuck berry in the background only added to the experience! Will be back. - Conor and Izzy

Casa GourMex

This could easily be among the top 3 best Mexican restaurants in the UK. Fantastic vegetarian options. Beef & lamb options (halal) were top tier. Looking forward to the possibility of halal chicken options. Don’t be put off by the small seating area, it makes for a very personal and cosy dining experience. Tamarind and rice water drinks were epic!

Uncle Glenns Caribbean

No fuss, maximum flavour and gorgeous goat <3 ackee saltfish was amazing too, and lovely people to top it off!! Thanks for an amazing meal - we'll be back!

The Brew Cafe

Went for breakfast first time. The food was amazing only slight complaint was the length of time we had to wait. We went at 12.30 and ordered a fry up and the salmon. It took an hour for the food to come out. Was worrying as we had an appointment at 2. But the food was amazing so all was forgotten as soon as we started eating.

The Bell

Excellent Xmas Day Dinner , extremely well organised, massive choice of food and it all tasted delicious and was reasonably priced Staff were efficient and friendly, will definitely return One to note for next year Xmas Day dinner peeps Also a great place to have a beer any day of the week Thank you for making our Xmas so enjoyable ?

The Way Outback Brewing Company

Great selection of own brewery beers. Dog friendly and full of character. Limited fridge selection and not a lot of seating so be prepared to stand. Pizzas cooked over the road but didn't try any in our visit. Some in street parking in busy, narrow residential area. Will be

English Rose Cafe

Superb as always. Best roast lamb and roasties in Boscombe. Always highly recommended.Also GREAT breakfasts withproper sausages, healthy eggs and fried bread you can eat without having a heart attack.This jewel of a cafe is a real find!

The Iford Bridge

Fantastic service, even though they were very busy! The place itself was clean, and the atmosphere was great as everyone seemed to be having a great time. Food was absolutely beautiful and enjoyed by all 7 of us! We weren't rushed, we were constantly checked on, and the 45 min warning for food took us by surprise when it infact only took 25 minutes in the end.Parking: You need to pop your registration number in, but parking is free.Kid-friendliness: I had my children with us, and they all enjoyed their meals and their desserts! The staff were great with them too.

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❤️

The Firkin Shed

The best ale around, with a constantly changing cellar. Check the boards for what’s on, and they’ll tell you what style / what brewery / if it’s keg or cask / how strong / if it’s vege or GF / and if they sell it by the 1/3rd. If you’re still not sure, you can ask the staff and even get a taster. Honestly, it’s such good beer I think I’ve got really picky since it became our local!! They also have a great range of spirits, Belgium beers, bottled ciders and lots more to choose from. The bar itself has a great atmosphere, totally NOT a chain pub. This is a proper local, with a fantastic group of regulars and a community focus.
