Cafe European in Bournemouth

We visited this cafe looking for some comfort food after the previous nights partying!!!! It hit the spot, nice beans on toast and a cup of tea, all hot sorted us out!!!

Situado justo en el centro de la plaza con capacidad de expansión justo en frente y a los lados, te puedes perder desde cualquier dirección. Las bebidas son a precios premium, debido a la ubicación, notamos que el menú tiene todos los artículos de catering para turistas mayores.

Cafe European has sadly shut its doors - offered good friendly service and great breakfasts and coffee. We are going to miss you!

Buscando un lugar de desayuno en la ciudad que no era una cadena, mapas de Google dijo que este era el más cercano. Desde fuera la verdad es que parece que tienes que pedir y apártela y mi marido estaba indeciso, pero en realidad vas dentro porque es limpio, muy razonable y la comida es buena. Curiosamente me recordaba yendo allí hace 13 años y pensando las mismas cosas. El hombre que nos servía era alegre y amistoso, y recomendaría este.

Love this cafe. Amazing toasties with crisps and salad. All food is good sized portions Great staff and reasonable prices Not many proper cafes around this one is great!

Really nice little cafe good been in same family for years know there market well good food and good service just with waitress would smile

No parece ser mucho desde el exterior y no es nada lujoso en el interior, pero si estás buscando trabajo para almorzar y luego el personal tan duro aquí para ofrecer una amplia variedad de comida y aperitivos que son sabrosos y bien presentada. Es un lugar pequeño y agradable y nunca han sido decepcionados por la comida. Si se trata de elegir entre el café horrible en el BIC y aquí, este supera sobradamente a cada vez.

Honestamente, cuando mi esposa sugirió que debería haber brunch aquí tenía mis dudas. No parece fuera de forma ideal. Pero en realidad fuimos y fue excelente. Dos grandes desayunos, tostadas, té marrón precioso. Todo es cocinado, con tocino crujiente, una judías y huevos crudos. Y el tocino es tocino verdadero con muy poco grasa y un montón de carne.El servicio era amable y rápido, y el precio muy razonable - me atrevería a decir que es una ganga.No juzgues un libro por su portada...

This was a very quaint place to visit. The staff were very busy but very prompt with their service. Definitely go back.

Excelente ubicación en el centro de Bournemouth. El personal era muy amable. La comida era excelente relación calidad-precio. Mucha variedad. Mi hija dijo que ella era la mejor batido probado. La única crítica es que es un poco cansado, aseos, etc. En general, sin duda lo recomiendo y volveré.

Un pequeño y agradable restaurante. Si estás después de un desayuno inglés completo, recién preparado este pequeño lugar vale la pena una visita. Si no te gusta el pan blanco también tienen pan integral si lo pides. También cocinan huevos a su gusto. Precios razonables también con una taza de café. Empiece bien el día.

Often go in there, very friend and the food is fab. Reasonable price too. Always have good food and plenty of choice too. Worth a visit .

have twice been to the cafe euro for breakfast, all freshly cooked food at sensible prices. had passed this place many times before my first visit but its definatly a place i will use again

Visited for the first time recently and was not impressed. Grubby menus with crumbs and food smears all over them, dirty crockery (our milk jug came with old bits of food caked to the outside) and stale food, ordered a cake that looked like it had been sat there a week and was rock solid. Was not given any cutlery to eat our lunch with and the tea was luke warm and weak. I'm far from fussy and have never posted a bad review for anywhere before but it was awful. Weatherspoons or 60 mil postcards are nearby along with all the other places around that are miles better.

The Cafe European is located just off the Square in Bournemouth, and makes for a useful alternative to the department stores as a place t get a sandwich or bowl of soup at lunchtime. Prices are generally reasonable, and sandwiches or toasties are made to order, which means at busy times there can be a bit of a wait, but guarantees a decent fresh baguette for example. All are served with a small salad garnish. Drinks are moderately priced.My only small complaint is that they also have a window service to the street outside, and some customers waiting there were blowing cigarette smoke into the cafe proper!

We called in for breakfast and were very pleased with the service,quality of food, and value for money.If and when we visit Bournemouth town centre again we would certainly call in for breakfast, or something else from a very varied menu..

I must say, I am perplexed at the previous reviews of thisexcellent cafe.Indeed we were so impressed we ate breakfast here twice.We had breakfast the first day at the neighboring Wetherspoons,but it didn't compare to the excellent breakfast served here.We ordered the £4.95 specials,two eggs, two slices of bacon, beans, mushroomsand half of a tomato, served with toast or bread and butter.That price also included tea or coffee.Although on the second day it was only staffed by a youngster,he served and cooked all alone, for every customer.He was efficient and friendly and managed to serveour meals in next to no time.Forget the pub next door, use here!!Excellent food and value for money

I've been going here for a couple of years now and quite often several times a month. It was a nice cafe with friendly staff and at one point, a good value meal.After all this time of enjoying the breakfasts I thought I'd treat myself (admittedly for the umpteenth time this month), so I did. When my breakfast arrived I asked for a sausage as normal as I thought the guy had forgotten. But I was told that sausages were extra and if I were given a sausage by him he'd have to pay for it himself. These were his boss' words apparently. Well I don't know but stupid me I expect an English breakfast to contain a sausage as one of the core ingredients with mushrooms or hash browns as the paid for extras as in every other establishment I've eaten one in.The breakfast was not reduced in price either to reflect the reduced content. I will take my trade elsewhere.

We called in here one Sunday morning for breakfast brunch. The place was by no means full but as there were only 2 people to both cook and serve we faced quite a wait for our food.When it came it was OK - nothing special but it served the purpose of filling empty tums. This more or less sums up our experience of Cafe European whenever we have eaten there.The young lady who was cooking as well as serving was wearing nail polish which I thought was not allowed under hygiene regulations but perhaps that has changed and is no longer the case. As we left another young lady arrived to swell the number of staff and the nail polish she also was wearing was very chipped - I wouldn't like to think any of it was going to end up in somebody's sandwich!The clientele appears to be shoppers and the like but there is an element of transport cafe about it as many an off duty bus driver can be seen eating here during their break (some buses start and terminate in the square). In fact some of the food could be considered a bit transport cafe like.Up until 10 or so years ago Cafe European used to be Nightingale's Tearooms, a more 'traditional' eating place. The update to Cafe European may have been considered the way to go but footfall through the door appears to be far less as it always used to be packed out. Progress I suppose!One thing that amuses us is the Specials board which has had 'Three Cheese Omelette' as the one and only special for ever and a day. It has become a standing joke if we pop in for a bite to eat - we'll ask each other 'wonder what the special is today?'!All in all Cafe European is not a bad choice if you need a bite to eat while in central Bornemouth but average is the best way to describe it.
