Brasserie Blanc Bournemouth in Bournemouth

Excellent service, the staff were all very welcoming. Roberto looked after us so well and was so knowledgeable about the wines. Our dog was also made welcome , a lovely evening.

Brasserie Blanc Friday 15th Nov 2024 Nice evening out, service good and nice atmosphere. Many thanks. Julian & Amanda

Been to other Brasserie Blanc locations and all are equally as good. Food and service excellent.

Food was very good but the service was slow and at times chaotic.

We found this place to be underwhelming. It's not as good as the Ivy or Cote, for that matter. Food is quite expensive. Cheese souffle was low on flavour. Mains weren't served hot. It was all a bit stripped down, a restaurant run by bean counters rather than lovers of hospitality. The decor was dowdy. Quite forgettable and not worth a detour, IMHO.

Stunning views and lovely service. Pricing was reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area and food was varied and tasty. Would have preferred my cauliflower cheese to be more creamy and bubbling hot from under the grill which it wasn’t but that was a minor detail and many places now charge for cauliflower cheese with a roast. Definitely a top place to try when in Bournemouth.

Would have given 5 stars but we were told 10 minutes after ordering food that main course mussels were off as you had run out- at 8pm on Wednesday!. Disappointing for a "French Restaurant".

All the staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially Oliver who was attentive and polite. He really stood out in terms of the service we received tonight for a long time. The food was also great, there was a lot of meat (venison and duck) and great flavour.

Great place next to the sea. Food is incredible, natural and tasty. Though, service may take some time. However, the food is well prepared and then justifies the time, customers wait for.

Great sea view,Service very good. A little disappointed with my meal . it was gammon but menu indicated that it was pork roast..

Amazing place, great food, outstanding service

Went for an early evening meal and was wowed by the food and service. The autumn menu had just started and the cheese soufflé was very special. Will certainly be back again. Oh - and it was really good value.

Excellent bar service at a lovely location. Physically part of The Marriott (Highcliffe) Hotel, though managed seperately by a different operator. Open to non-residents. Two visits in two weeks; sat outside with spectacular sea views overlooking Poole Bay on georgeous sunny days. Peroni £6.20/pt. Food available but did not try. Highly recommended. [Picture is Poole Bay, with Old Harry Rocks in the distance].

visited with some friends from out of town. Feedback was: Really enjoyed this restaurant. Good food and really good service. The views from the terrace were excellent. The menu was amazing, some really nice seafood starters. A classic good burger and some delicious stacked potatoes. Would visit again.

Perfect position from which to see the Bournemouth Air Show. Service was exemplary. We will definitely come back, unlike the Air Show unless another sponsor comes along.

Summer Menu & signature drinks Immerse yourself in the soothing rhythms of the South of France every Friday evening until August 30th, as splendid seaside terrace transforms into Sud de la France. Embrace the laid-back beats showcased by a rotation of talented DJs from 7:30pm to 10pm, setting the perfect ambiance for your weekend unwind. 10pm fireworks off Bournemouth pier to round off our evening.

This could be so nice it just left us feeling disappointed First impressions it felt a bit grubby Met and seated ok How ever the 4 main meals were served with 5 minute intervals after the initial two were served very by a very unhappy waitress At best we all agreed the meals were average as to a wow factor we were expecting from such a respected restaurant We shall not be returning any time soon

Thank you for an amazing lunch! Spot on experience with breathtaking view.

Great ambience, service and staff. The food was amazing, recommend the Bouillabaisse ! I would definitely visit again. Bonus was watching the fireworks on the pier, from the terrace at 10pm.

The food here is delicious. You are able to sit inside or outside of the restaurant. They make you feel welcome and are amazing at dealing with allergies. The view outside is one of the best in the country!

Lovely place with an amazing view of the sea

Enjoyed a delicious spur-of-the-moment lunch whilst walking past Brasserie Blanc restaurant (by Raymond Blanc). They were fully booked for that evening, a Friday, so I did well to grab the opportunity of a late lunch there to see what it was like. The staff were great, Justin made sure I had everything I needed. The fresh Trout dish with mash was absolutely delicious. The wine pairing was lovely with it too. It felt relaxed and easy to eat here. There is a lovely outdoor terrace area, with super sea views, for dining and drinks too. A smashing bar with a plush cosy feel and great Happy Hour offers as well!

Food was quite untasty, service was ok, overall wouldn’t recommend it

We had our dinner there and really enjoyed the quality and service The risotto and sweet corn fritters tasted very well, and also the kid’s menus were popular. While there are some higher priced offers, the dishes we chose were not too expensive Definitely a recommendation and we will come back again

An elegant French restaurant in Bournemouth, serving baked goods such as cakes, pies and tarts in a variety of shapes and tastes. I recommend it.

Superb location with wonderful.views of the sea. Competitive prices abs top quality service. Excellent choice of food.

Lovely restaurant with a wonderful ambience and amazing food. Really delicious vegetarian,/vegan options available too. Reasonably priced, especially considering the quality of food, ambience and views!

We enjoyed our evening meal at Brasserie Blanc Bournemouth yesterday evening. The service was professional amd not intrusive. After ordering, we noticed a specials board being shown to another table by another waiter. Our waiter did not show us the evening specials. My children thoughly enjoyed their steaks. Cooked how they like them, rare and medium. Also commenting on how the dish was presented. My mother enjoyed the trout, but said it did taste a little dry. I had the bouillabaisse. Upon first impressions it looked and smelt really good. And indeed i thoughly enjoyed the dish. But unfortunately the langoustine and king prawn only contained the heads, with no edible parts for me to enjoy. The bouillabaisse was a good size portion, containing all other fish and vegetables stated on the menu. My initial thought at the time was slight disappointment. Rationalising, that more than likely, the bouillabaisse would be ladled from a large pot to my dish and therefore having a langoustine or king prawn in its entirety may not always be plausible. So I did not make my disappointment known to the waiter at the time. But when leaving and noticing a photo showing the bouillabaisse on a promotional 'A' board by the entrance.. it showed both with the edible parts present. I later looked at user review photos online. It too showed both langoustine and king prawn how it was pictured on the promotional board. So upon reflection, my initial disappointment seem to be justified. I should of made my thoughts clear at the time, rather than giving the benefit of doubt. I do hope this doesn't happen to others when ordering this lovely dish. The crumble and chocolate mousse was enjoyed by all and my cheeseboard was fantastic.

J'ai vraiment bien aimé. Menu varié, pour tous les goûts. Service d'un bon niveau. Un Mixte entre la cuisine française et la cuisine anglaise.

Excellent meal. We overwhelmed the server by ordering too many different types of wines which then got mixed up. Good Sauvignon blanc from New Zealand.

Great location, view, and atmosphere. Well kept restaurant with a cozy but cheerful atmosphere. Located in the Marriott, it is easily accessed by hotel occupants, or even from the beach. Highly recommended as the food was very homey and very tasteful. Wait staff are friendly and food is very reasonably priced for the location and quality of food. No constructive feedback, good job!

wonderful place for dinner. staff very friendly. recommend the sweetcorn and pepper fritter dish for any vegans nearby.

Pearl looked after us all night so we’ll. she was friendly and so talkative, felt like she was part of our night. Definitely a star of the business x

Good food in a relaxed atmosphere in a pleasent room on the cliff top with sea views in Bournemouth

Very local to us, and we visited for a family get-together for 30+ people, in our own private space. Absolutely super food, served quickly and accurately. Great service .. nothing too much trouble. Well done !

We booked a big group dinner of 48 people for our wedding and Brasserie Blanc staff were amazing! The food was amazing and all our guest said the same thing and the service was great. I can’t wait to go there again.

Food is always good and they change the menu on a regular basis (Rich Stein could take note). Great service from Duncan.

A lovely location. However a slightly underwhelming experience- everything was okay but we were hoping, and expecting, a more special evening for the price we paid. My seafood bouillabaisse promised so much but didn’t deliver on flavour plus I received a langoustine head but no actual langoustine 😢 and two very crispy pieces of bread. The fillet steak was cooked to perfection as was the sea bream - but our request to fillet the fish before serving was refused. Deserts were fine, again nothing special and far too much grit on top of the yummy chocolate and orange mousse.

A Culinary Delight at Brasserie Blanc, Bournemouth From the moment we stepped into Brasserie Blanc in Bournemouth, I was transported into a world of culinary excellence. The ambiance was inviting, the service impeccable, and the food, simply divine. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the Seafood Paella. A traditional Spanish dish given a unique twist by the talented chefs at Brasserie Blanc. The seafood was fresh, succulent, and cooked to perfection. The mussels, prawns, and squid were tender and flavorful, blending seamlessly with the saffron-infused rice. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, making it a truly memorable dish. However, the pièce de résistance was the Pistachio Soufflé served with Chocolate Ice Cream. This dessert was a revelation. The soufflé was light and airy, with the subtle nuttiness of the pistachios shining through. The chocolate ice cream provided a delightful contrast with its rich and creamy texture. The combination was heavenly, making each spoonful a moment to savor. In conclusion, my dining experience at Brasserie Blanc was nothing short of spectacular. The Seafood Paella and Pistachio Soufflé were standout dishes, each offering a unique and satisfying flavor profile. I highly recommend Brasserie Blanc to anyone looking for a remarkable dining experience in Bournemouth. Bon appétit!

Superb food and professional service. Great location overlooking coastline

had the best fillet steak frites in bournemouth

We had 7 persons and were put in the corner comfortably. All dishes we ordered were tasty except the King Prawn with black rice. The black rice didn’t come with taste of prawn. But the pistachio soufflé was excellent that’s why I gave a rating of 5.

Booked a special treat for my husbands 50th. 3hrs after eating the meal, we both suffered from the most extreme food poisoning for the following 12hrs before we could actually keep water down. We are so ill. It's absolutely ruined our special trip. They were supposed to call us today, they haven't! I wasn't pleased with the service. Telling me I had eaten my food so quickly, I asked for a,second wine, where he picked up my glass and said "in the same glass " he also talked so loud embarrassing us that we had a Birgin Experience voucher. Couldn't be more unhappy. Will be taking this to the food agency and the hotel as they are ignoring us!

Food was spot in and service was good, will visit again to try what I also wanted bit had to make decision!

Had lunch with my family. Good location with stunning view of the beach and sea. Pork belly Sunday roast was juicy and tender. The roast beef would be better if they are more generous with the meat. Pistachio Soufflé highly recommended. The risotto in the king prawns dish was a bit bland though. Overall 4.5 stars ✨

I’m so glad I chose to use my Virgin Experience voucher at Brassiere Blanc! My partner and I enjoyed a delicious 3-course lunch from the spring menu (the pistachio soufflé was simply divine!) - with beautiful, far-reaching sea views across the bay. Justin, our waiter, was absolutely first class and we were very well looked after from start to finish. Overall, an exceptional experience and we cannot wait to come back to this delightful restaurant!

I recently had my birthday dinner there and I must say it was perfect! The food was delicious, drinks were amazing, atmosphere was lovely and most importantly our service was excellent! We were very well taken care of and upon arrival I received a glass of Prosecco. Very impressed with the service and it truly made the whole evening really enjoyable and relaxing. The gentleman that served us was very attentive, helpful and so kind. Will definitely be back in the near future!

That was a lovely treat. The food was excellent quality.

Good food, nicely served with staff who partially speak Polish ;) great steaks! Excellent crème brulée

We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary with my husband and our 3 children. The service was excellent. Everyone was welcoming. And our waiter Oliwer was brilliant. He was patient with us as we didnt know most of the menu. He explained everything in detail. The food he recommended us was delicious. We enjoyed every bit. My children loved Oliwer especially when he reffered to them as Sir and Mam. We had a lovely experience. We will definitely come again. My 10 year old daughter rated Oliwer 600 out of 10. And we all rated the service a 5 star. Thank you

Nice restaurant lovely outdoor area literally right next the beach.

Amazing place. Staff are very helpful and welcoming

Expensive but very friendly attentive staff, good vegan food, and beautiful view

An impromptu visit, food absolutely lovely and the staff were great, service with a genuine smile

Food is wonderful, takes me back to Paris and dimly lit cafés. Service while attentive forgot a drinks order. I would be happy to return but perhaps at a busier time to help the atmosphere.

Just three issues wobbly table and very small.can't find car park space I was looking for 30min unbelievable!!!!!

Restaurant based in smart hotel. Good place for a special meal. Bit on pricy side but food worth it. Good selection. We tried coq au vin and duck in sauce. Both were tasty and guide portions. The stars were interesting residential the potted crab and avocado. The position of the restaurant on the cliff top would be great on a good day when you can find outside. Visited again and found that food was still lovely and the staff particularly attentive . Still great

A great experience and I would highly recommend you try here! We were greeted by a lovely man and shown to our table. The atmosphere, view of the sea and decor is beautiful. We then had a kind, attentive waiter called Sebastion who always served with a smile. il était magnifique! We ordered the baguette & dips for starters and they were very tasty. Plently of dips with fresh, warm bread. For the mains we had the grilled king prawns & the boeuf bourguignon. Both tasted and looked like art, especially for the price. I have quite a few allergies and they were very understanding which is much appreciated. The boeuf bourguignon came out a bit cold the first time but there was no problem recieving a replacement. The only thing that let it down a bit was no warning for the fire alarm test. But very small nit picks. Overall, I would 100% recommend for date nights, family outings and coffee. I will definately be returning! Thank you to all the team.

Our first visit here and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Attentive and welcoming service from the girls, lovely atmosphere and quality food. Absolutely faultless and would highly recommend to anyone. Will be returning for sure.

We very much enjoyed our lunch. Food and drinks excellent. Waitress very pleasant and helpful.

Lovely French restaurant. I enjoyed my food from start to finish! I was served by Karolin who was very attentive. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Located within the Marriott with good views out over the water, and friendly, helpful staff. A good range of dishes with good flavour available, so you should find something for any taste and at an ok price. The venue can be a bit loud for conversation, but the space caters well for groups.

Great staff and atmosphere. The food was brilliant and a great location.

We really enjoyed our Sunday roast with excellent service and we shall definitely go back! It is within walking distance of our daughter's flat along the path above the beach.

Admittedly French cuisine isn't my usual choice but I had to give Brassiere Blanc a shot after seeing the menu - plenty of tempting dishes, many of which were vegetarian. I ordered the cauliflower steak - melted in my mouth. The side salad with various beans and pomegranate perfectly complemented the dish (and a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc!). I'd happily return to try more. Extra points for friendly and attentive customer service.

Delicious food. Good service. Excellent value for money. A thoroughly enjoyable meal.

Booked at 4pm for lunch on Sunday as we had a very good breakfast there earlier as residents. Fish soup and souffle were good, although croutons rock hard but not a problem as they were going in the soup! Roast beef was good but limited vegetables left and no roast potatoes (menu advertises 'unlimited'!) at all. Yorkshire puddings had been sat about for some time, not crisp just soggy. Some of the desserts not avaialable. Waiting staff worked hard to save the situation but felt that they were not being supported by a disorganised kitchen.

Very tasty food on the cliff in Bournemouth. Kinda buffet style, English breakfast and continental breakfast.

Amazing food, exceptional service and such a lovely atmosphere. I went for a lunch with sister and my little boy which is 6 months, we've been served with lots of smiles and our boy could not be happier being carried around .

Very disappointing experience. We had booked a table at 2pm - after calling several times from 11.30 to try to change booking to an earlier time, I went to the restaurant at 12.30 to see if we could come earlier/ I was told no and that it wasn’t possible to look at the computerised system as it would ‘mess everything up’ - I understood as presumed very busy so my husband and I went for walk along the sea front. We returned at 1pm as had decided to wait in the bar. At 1.30 I asked if any tables had become free, to be told no, even though two tables for 2 were laid and empty. I asked which table we had been allocated, to be informed that it hadn’t been decided yet… at 2pm we returned to be seated at one of the tables that had been free all the time, most bizarre! Whilst I totally understand that tables are allocated for a certain amount of time, there is no way there would possibly have time in a half hour turnaround to accommodate customers to use those tables before us. I felt a very ‘computer says no ‘ vibe at best and slightly veiled hostility at worse. The service once we were seated was to be fair efficient, but the food, vegetarian roast for my husband cold and gnocchi for me ok but very vinegary, desserts decent, wine good. The experience was very old fashioned but not in a good way- certainly didn’t feel my custom was important and I would certainly not recommend. By contrast, we were staying at The Nici where our dinner was exemplary, both in quality of food and in customer service.

Everything about our experience was wonderful. The people are a joy - friendly and helpful. The service is perfect as are the food and drinks. We love going there . It’s a great location and has plenty of parking . The hotel if you need it Going again this week on our own as it was so good

Will return next time we are to this region sorry I had to speak loudly to my mum she's completely deaf loved the food great .

Meal was excellent but if you want a quieter atmosphere then probably not the venue for you.

Beautiful restaurant with great attention to detail. I had the seabass and muscles which was delicious. My wife had the celeriac. She she eats a plant based diet and was thrilled with. She rarely gets such an innovative and enjoyable meal without visiting specialist vegan restaurant. We ate here as we were staying at the hotel and because it was easy, but it turned out to be a great experience. The rhubarb desert was wonderful as well.

THE MOST RUDEST TEAM IVE EVER SEEN. so last saturday I had a trial shift, and bare this in mind that i’ve applied using my CV they had seen it then called me for the trial shift. But i got there and I was greeted by the man in charge at that shift time in assuming and he took me straight away into his office and didn’t say a word at all he said was put on the apron and gave me a pen. He then said just follow that girl around as you will be shadowing her. I did as I was told and did all the things that she had told me to do. Obviously I won’t be all hands on deck I wouldn’t go out of my way or anything to take orders does he have expect me to take orders when I hadn’t even seen the menu yet. Then he has a strop and asked why I didn’t pick up an empty glass when I went over to the table. But I didn’t see it which I did realise i’m In the wrong. Then he asked me to go get a bottle of water and give it to the table of 2, he didn’t say anything else. Then he decides to have a strop again about me not pouring out the water for them. So I asked the girl who I was shadowing if I was supposed to pour the water and she said no. So clearly this guy had some sort of problem. Not even 1 hour into the shift he was like yeah come back to the office. He asked me how I thought I performed. I didn’t answer because I’m not the one to judge that. That rude guy then said “your not experienced at all, good luck if you are going to get a job”. He also said that I wasn’t doing anything at all. Does this guy expect me to do everything at their level? He hadn’t even gave me a run through of anything. He asked why I didn’t go out my way to take orders. Does he not remember the fact that he told me to just to follow that girl around during the trial. He also said you had a 3 hour trial but i’m going to cut that at 1 because your so useless. Genuinely the rudest guy that you will ever meet. Possibly even the whole team because some of them just stood there watching me. Please don’t ever call someone to a trial shift after going through their CV thinking their fit for the role and then saying to their face your absolutely useless. Please Brasserie Blanc sort out your members!!!

Good quality food and value for money. Will definitely go back.

The food was innovative, delicious , with sensible serving sizes. Desserts maintained that standard. The service was exemplary, and I would not hesitate to take guests there. Seating was a little basic, but quite comfortable. We look forward to eating there again soon.

A splendid evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Would definitely recommend! We will be back.

Everything about our visit was perfect. The food was so delicious and the ambiance excellent. The key aspect that makes the restaurant so good is the quality of the staff. From the man who dealt with our booking on the phone, to the welcome on entering, to the team work of the staff, you couldn't ask for more. Our waitress, Gina, was helpful, professional, cheerful and friendly. Tracey who delivered the food to the table was quietly good at her job. It was also nice to see Karolin, the supervisor, again. We will definitely return.

Tous les plats (entrée, plat et dessert) étaient excellents. En quantité généreuse : très bon rapport qualité / prix. Le service très efficace, accueil sympathique et agréable, je recommande !

It was my mums birthday! We were staying in the hotel and read the reviews and thought it would be very special that wasn't the case our plates wasn't taken away quick enough we had to place them on the table beside us! We had asked if we could have the children to be fed first but that wasn't the case and the children wanted to eat our food. And was waiting for it!

Beef was awesome. Everything else was mediocre. Potatoes under cooked and all food was cold. All plates were chipped. Moldy raspberries on very expensive cocktail. 2nd and last visit sadly.

Impeccable food & service. We came back a second time and it did not disappoint. I had the Stone Bream Fish and my partner had the ibeye Pork 👌

in spite of this being a sad occasion we were provided with an excellent hot buffet with quality meats/kebabs rather than the usual 'sandwich/Canape selection' and were given a dedicated area in the front Bar with the magnificent views over the Bay. I look forward to going again on a happier occsion but they did everything they could to lift our spitits; thank you!!

Simply awful, ordered mushrooms these weee good but no bread for the sauce told you can buy bread, in any French restaurant I know bread is a staple, for the sauce alone, my wife had the prawn cocktail with avocado, again no bread served very cold so tasteless. Main course Toulouse sausage good but side of Cauliflower cheese no sauce, just melted cheese on top sorry Raymond a greasy spoon would be better, my wife had pork ribeye, it smelt off tasted so sweet and sour I was appalled at the quality, simply not good enough

Booked due to being offered 50 % of mains by email. Fantastic welcome on arrival. Water offered straight away while we decided on drinks and the waitress explained the menu. Starters were good. But the main course was the star of the show. We both had the duck. Best duck I've ever had, tender with a crispy skin. Perfectly cooked. We will be back to try the Sunday roast.

Consistently outstanding food, service, ambience, decor and location. Pistachio soufflé is a must. The lamb fish is delicious and full of flavour. The staff really make the experience perfect. Beautiful views of the sea from this cliff top restaurant make it even more special. The chairs are comfortable, which is really important for my bad back. Decor is lovely & ambience is great - a lovely vibe on a Friday night.

Was ok, enjoyed food,decor and climate not really too my taste... overall will be back

Food is always great & the view can't be beaten! Competitively priced for the standard & service always on point

Terrible roast potatoes. Just terrible. I’ve seen a wet sponge which had more crisp. The rest of the food was nice.

Delicious Sunday lunch and lovely staff- went with friends for Sunday lunch, really tasty and generous portions- so full when we left! Waitress was great, very professional and friendly 😊

Great selection at breakfast at a reasonable price. The fresh omelette maker was a hit, the service was impeccable and the fact that they had gluten free options on request (at least gf corn flakes and bread) as well as knowledge at hand of which cooked breakfast items were gluten free (all but sausages) was brilliant!

Gina was very helpful. Nice food ,good wine .

Lovely food. Quickly becoming our favourite go to restaurant. Never disappoints.

We stayed at the mariott for the night and didn't want to go far for dinner, so we decided to go to Brasserie Blanc. The atmosphere was somehow split between the restaurant and their bar. The restaurant didn't have any music and really felt dead, despite the few people having dinner. The bar however, was more lively and had a very nice choice of music, so we decided to eat at the bar (they have a few table as well). The food was good, there's a decent choice. Service however was a tad slow. Waited about 30' for the main course, which I think was long, given the place was rather empty. But otherwise fine place to dine in. I can imagine that it must be nice during summer time and sunset to be eating here.

The steak was so good I'd drive back just to have it, probably the best I've ever had. I may even have to go back to all my previous reviews about steak dishes if I said it was the best and change them to very good, it was that good. All the other dishes were exception too. Waitress was lovely and friendly too. Overall, a lovely evening and would definitely go back.

Great food but a little light on portion size, set up of tables lacks privacy. Staff a little slow at times.

Amazing food especially their cheese soufflé and their selection of sea food.

24/12/23 - Sunday. We are back to this Marriott Hotel, Basseries Blanc. Celebrating our Christmas Eve Lunch with my mother-in-law 🎄🍾🌹❤️💕. The service were excellent and thank so much to the chef & servers for meeting up to my request for extra pork crackling. The tables were widely space out for health & Safety measure. And for my mother-in-law's mobility with her walking aid.. Thank so much for their excellent services.Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Just the best restaurant in Bournemouth. Amazing food at pub prices (not Beefeater but proper pub prices). Yes you can pay lots if you choose to or a little if you are selective. Make sure you book! Don't just turn up on spec. Some free street parking nearby. Good wine selection but limited / generic beers. The views are beautiful, overlooking the sea with Isle of Wight and Old Harry's Rock easily visible. Superb staff and never had a bad meal there.
