The Cafe in Bournemouth

Wow - what a great evening and experience we had last night at Roots in Southbourne, Dorset. An unusual and delicious tasting menu and fantastic cooking and hospitality from Jan and his team. Starting with Quails egg and Watermelon salad canapés the early courses included new forest asparagus, truffle sourdough bread dumpling, and a countryside supper of warm rye bread, cured meats and melt in your mouth home smoked salmon. Then onto the fish courses of Japanese mackerel and scallop in a Thai curry broth - fantastic! The main course of Quail was rich and delicious and the chocolate covered blueberry compote and lemongrass and coconut icecream was the perfect end to a truly memorable evening. I definitely recommend a visit - thank you Jan and team for your wonderful food and hospitality. We will be sure to visit again.

Acabo de terminar un largo día entregar un campo cercano. Desesperado por una taza de té, entré en este café. ¡Guau! Inmaculada con toques encantadores acabados y atención al detalle. Perfecta taza de té y tarta Frangipane un miembro encantador sirve de personal. Gracias! Ahora estoy listo para afrontar un viaje de vuelta a la hora punta de la Isla de Wight xx

A fine place I intend to visit again and often. Friendly staff.

We found the deli to be very well furnished and light and airy, the menu is very extensive and caters for all types of dietary request!

Authentic Mexican food with a very knowledgeable welcoming owner/ chef. Highly recommend!
