Twelve Eatery in Bournemouth

The total dedication to excellence in vegan cuisine, created from scratch, in-house is fully evident in all the dishes we as a family, tried. The flavours were excellent as was the presentation. If you are wanting a vegan culinary experience I doubt that there is anywhere better. Just brilliant!

Having driven from London just to visit we were totally impressed! We had visited in February but this was our first time on a Sunday to sample their roast dinner! It was delicious! Loved all the different veg with it and the ‘beef’ was delicious! The service was also amazing and the owner was so friendly and was lovely to chat to! I was amazed to learn the beef dish contained 50g of protein! Along with daily allowance of B12! Cannot wait to visit again!

I have been planning to go to Twelve Eatery for a long time, and after reading the wonderful reviews, and being informed by Tripadvisor that it had been given an award I decided to go there for my birthday meal. I was expecting an exceptional meal with wonderful flavours and had been eagerly looking forward to it. We received a warm welcome and the waitress was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the Beetroot Gnocchi as a starter. When it arrived I was expecting it to be really tasty, but to my surprise it was very bland. I then had Katsu Curry, which I had seen recommended on a previous review, and again I was disappointed, very little flavour, in fact I didn't eat it all. My companion had the "Fillet Steak" and he was disappointed as well and said that it was very dry with little flavour. We must have gone on an off day, as everyone else seems to think it is wonderful. I left feeling very disappointed after the big build up.

Felt very welcomed on arrival and the hosting all evening was exceptional! So wonderful that everything was plant based, it looked and tasted amazing. We will be sharing this experience with others. Thank you for making our evening

Very very special. The food, the cocktails, the people! Is there a better all-round plant-based dining experience in the world? You'd be hard pressed to find one. The passion of the owners shines through as Twelve goes from strength to strength. I should know: My partner and I have enjoyed Twelve many times over the past 6 years, including for extra special occasions and just everyday deliciousness. Incredible vegan food with lots of fabulous gluten-free options too. Everything's so delicious. I'm actually pescatarian, and omnivores will enjoy it lots too. Love!

Another top notch meal at Twelve Eatery. The food, drink, service and ambience are always spot on. Tried the katsu curry for the first time and it was delicious! My only criticism is that there aren’t more Twelve restaurants in other places!

Food may be freshly prepared but came overcooked and tasteless. Very expensive for the quality of food. Burgers dry and burnt, steak burnt and dry (was refunded) and katsu curry tasteless with very little sauce. My daughter raved about it because it was wonderful on previous visit. Took her there for birthday treat. Very disappointed for £190 thought it would have been much better. ‘Mighty Weiners’ was much better and cheaper.

We booked a table for a birthday, I love vegan food when it’s done properly. The premise of the restaurant trying to combine meat eaters and vegans was a bit confusing to be honest. A beetroot won’t be a steak. Just make a good curried butternut soup, I’d definitely come back for that You eat B12 gravy it tastes like truancy

Had a lovely meal at Twelve this evening - amazing food (seriously - amazing!!) and a lovely warm service throughout. We ate far too much because the food was so good!! Special recommendations - the baked 'camembert' which tasted as good as, it not better than the real thing (vegetarian cheese lover here) and the blood orange sorbet is to die for. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic food and excellent service. 100% vegan with interesting and exciting dishes. On this occasion, we ordered the same dish and were a little disappointed, but every other occasion has been incredible, so pitting it down to wrong ordering. Looking forward to visiting again.

Beautifully plated, delicious, plant-based dishes on this menu! We ordered many dishes and all we left were empty plates! Our server was so friendly and she was able to answer our questions about each dish. Definitely will be returning.

It's so petty that I forgot to take enough pictures. Foods are good, the atmosphere is just stunning. You should go and find it by yourself!

Beautiful to have a fully vegan restaurant. I chose the stew it was nice a good portion but it lacked a little something.... service was fab though. 👌🏽

First time, checking it out. Had the scallops starter. They were bland, with a consistency that reminded me of hardboiled egg white. Recommend they try samphire with it, to give a taste of the Sea. I didn't realise there was a Service Charge until I queried my change -not offered option to review. I was prepared to tip, as the young lady was very attentive, so not upset for the SC. Nice place, but disappointing experience.

Went for a meal with friends, lovely place food was good I had the tempura veggies starter, tofu and chips with house salad for dinner and 1 larger , this came to £44 let's say I've been to much cheaper and with more food lol, I still went out after and got more food as was still hungry. I must say tho staff were amazing and definitely worth a visit.

Nice place with a great ethos. Our waitress was knowledgeable about all the dishes and was happy to answer any questions. The food was very interesting and everything was made on-site. Absolutely everything is vegan, even the wine! I would recommend Twelve to all, but especially vegans or vegetarians - it's lovely to go somewhere with so much choice!

We were looking for houses in the area and we found this! The experience from start to finish was exceptional. We opted for starters, main and dessert. Dalton went above and beyond, the owner with a wealth of experience in restaurants and food and made our eatery venture even more special. He has been through his own journey and had poured his passions into his work. You feel that here All staffs genuinely care you have a good experience and introduce each plate with as much joy as if you were meeting a friend Dalton took our hearts and the food (especially the cheesecake) gave our taste buds a taste of heaven Thank you

Absolutely fabulous! Found this restaurant on findmeglutenfree (App) I'm a diabetic and glutensensitive. The food was very tastefull! Would defenitely come back here. High recommendation! Great food, great staff!

Tasteful art deco adjacent interior, befitting disco and funk&soul and lovely attentive and friendly service. Most of all though, excellent vegan food, creatively and seemingly effortless, skillfully prepared. I cannot wait to come back to try the next set of dishes and if you are visiting Bournemouth you should, too!

Lovely restaurant with great food. Well considered menu and meals- tasty, well presented and exactly the right portions. The in-house cocktails were the best!

We had a lovely meal at Twelve this evening! The service was brilliant, friendly and professional. The food was fresh, delicious, presented nicely and was just the right amount. Highly recommended even if you are not vegan, but for us it was refreshing to be able to eat everything from the menu! Thank you 🙏

Staff were very friendly and super chatty. Food was great. Will definitely be coming back.

The place and food are great, and the people are very gentle. It was a first experience of vegan food with the kids, and it was a success. Beside the food, special kudos for the decoration of the room.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful! Beautifully crafted food with exceptional service made it a v v special experience - it was so good we broke into applause at the end ☺️ We had cocktails, shared four starters four mains (& triple fried chips) and three desserts. It was a wonderful journey through exquisite tastes, food designed and prepared with so much love and care. What enhanced the exceptional food was Dalston and Greg talking through the ingredients, where the food was sourced, their journey - every little detail made the eating experience even more special. There are too many food and drink highlights so we can heartily recommend everything! I have to give a shout out to the rhubarb fizz, scallops, lasagne and cheesecake - in an exceptional menu they just edged it for me. Others in my party loved the gnocchi, the celeriac and the baked Camembert with the chocolate torte also getting a vote! All the cocktails and kombucha were out of this world❤️ Thank you Dalston, Greg and Captain cheesecake for making everything so special - we'll definitely return and please please open a place in Winchester 🙏🙏

Amazing food and super friendly customer service. I'm vegan and visited with 3 non-vegan friends. Everyone was very impressed with the food quality and creativity. From the starters we had the 'Camambert' and 'scallops', I was never into seafood so was skeptical of the latter but it was amazing. We also had open lasagne, 'steak' and chips, tofu and chips, and a couple of other dishes. The cheesecake was out of this world!

I was looking for an independent place to eat in Bournemouth before attending a music event in July. I found Twleve after doing some research. I am vegetarian, my partner is not and we have enjoyed a fair amount of vegan food over the last few years at various events so I was excited to visit Twelve amd I was not disappointed . The restaurant has a lovely chilled environment, the team were super welcoming and clearly dedicated to prividing a great experience and the food was next level. I was particularly impressed with the 'caviar' on the King Oyster 'scallops', the cocktails were delicious, the range of beers were really different and the Cheescake was to die for.

Best vegan restaurant in Bournemouth! Have been here so many times, the service is always super friendly, the menu is innovative and delicious without being overwhelming. The scallops are always amazing, and the cheesecake is a must try. Beautiful decor and a really great place to dine!

I love this place, whenever we feel like spoiling ourselves or a special dine with others we think of here. The food is delicious and creative. The home brew kombucha deserves its own label. One of the nicest plant-based restaurants we've had and the service is so friendly and attentive. The staff are great and down to earth. Overall they give an experience that is worth coming back to.

Excellent flavours, interesting textures and nutritious - feels really good in the belly. All plant based - very creative menu. Quite expensive but clearly high quality food and lots of love put into the preparation. A meal for a special occasion ! I ordered Starter King scallops (made from mushrooms) with soya bacon, puree and BBQ corn. > Lovely balance of flavour and textures. Main - Lasagne which was all raw and fermented ingredients. Braised broccoli Lasagne > Very nourishing but you have to enjoy fermented food! Desert - dulce de Luce cheese cake > incredible! Drink - Homemade kombucha (mango) > lovely

We frequent Twelve Eatery regularly...for dinner and lunch...as i am obsessed with their food.... I am a whole food plant based vegan of over 35 years, and an obsessed foodie....🌱 Trust me Twelve Eatery does NOT disappoint 💓 Excellent menu offered of nutrient dense beautiful vegan food that delights the pallette. Beautiful flavours, presentation. Love the ambiance of the restaurant with a chilled welcoming vibe ✨️✨️ Dalton offers incredible personal service detailing each option in detail. Excellent service making you as a customer feel valued.... Definitely recommend Twelve Eatery ♈️🌱G💓N or not ♈️🌱💓🪷🪷🪷🐾🐾

The best restaurant in Bournemouth we've tried. They combine organic ingredients to be much more tasteful than traditional meat restaurants, and all home made - even the kombucha 👍👍👍

Excellent food! (Me non-vegetarian/vegan 😬) Friendly helpful staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

This is a fantastic vegan restaurant, that we love to visit from Weymouth. Food is really amazing and I can't recommend this place highly enough.

A lovely evening at Twelve eatery With the family last Friday Very attentive staff The feed was great Definitely one to return to and recommend to friends

Great people working in this restaurant, they made our visit unforgettable.

Saw Twelve in a list of top vegan restaurants to visit in the UK so just had to book. Staying in Bournemouth for 2 nights to come here. We had the table for the evening so could take it easy. Great menu with plenty of choices. Food was superb, fresh and tasty and nicely presented. Service was polite and warm. We were sat next to a couple who were visiting from Wokingham that we ended up chatting with for ages. Lovely couple and it was the mans birthday as well. We had the scallops, raw lasagne, fillet steak followed by cheesecake and sorbet. Will come back for the tasting menu in Sept if it's on and we can get a spot. Thanks for a great meal and look forward to returning.

Gourmet, unique and delicious. My mind was blown that I found this gourmet vegan eatery in Bournemouth. I think I found heaven.. Amazing

Superb vegan restaurant with unique dishes.

An amazing find on our weekend break to Bournemouth. Beautiful decor, delicious food and fantastic service . We just wish you’d move to St. Albans ! Bonne continuation

Very special food , exquisitely prepared , lovely atmosphere . Comfortable seating .. And service like a 5 star hotel

Such a lovely local gem, knowledgeable and friendly staff, stunning food and overall a great night!

I tried the tofu teriyaki and didn’t like it I think there was some lack of seasoning overall. The cheesecake was nice.

Great service, great food and great atmosphere. Would recommend anyone to visit.

Excellent service. Delicious food. Clever use of vegetarian and vegan concepts to create tasty and splendid dishes. Eaten here two nights running and still happy to explore the menu more. Great vibe and playlist too. Staff are very happy to talk through the menu in detail and ingenious burger, chicken and steak creations with gorgeous flavours and no meat. Highly recommended.

Been here two nights running. Lovely food and great service. Thank you.

What a serendipitous surprise when visiting Bournemouth, and only a stone throw away from the accommodation! As a Londoner, I might say that both my partner and I are spoiled with great vegan choices. But even if that's true, we were amazed by the quality and the presentation of the organic dishes we received during the evening. All the meals, drinks, and the service were Michelin star level while maintaining a good price range and casual atmosphere. We chatted with the owner, who was a real gem, too! I can't wait for them to open their restaurant in London. (May I suggest the Canada Water area for selfish reasons?)

Decided to go for a slightly over-indulgent lunch on first arrival in town and didn't regret it. Absolutely first class food and service. Can't fault it. Everything spectacular.

Bloomin' marvelous. Service was excellent, we were looked after and felt like we were the only ones there (it was busy). Food was very good, never eaten that style before but we both thoroughly enjoyed it. A nice, small place. Select. Music in the background was sufficient without being overbearing. Location is just outside the centre of Bournemouth but an easy walk. They deserve all the praise!

I am a committed meat eater and so was a bit concerned about going somewhere vegan but this food was absolutely amazing and great service. Not cheap - but you do get what you pay for, and I will be back!

As someone who is not strictly a vegan or vegetarian, that does not matter at Twelve. The food was absolutely delicious, varied and with beautiful texture. They clearly know how to create the best flavours. I would thoroughly recommend, regardless of whether you subscribe to a vegan diet. Attention to detail throughout, from the decor and the vibe to the lovely food. Will most definitely be returning!

This was an amazing experience: food, service, ambience, everything.

Hard to describe how good this place is. The food is wholesome and utterly delicious, the service is charming and chilled, and the ambiance is tropical and soothing. If you’re in the area - or not! - make sure to stop for an unforgettable healthy plant-based meal!

It was my first time visiting and I was absolutely blown away by the food. I had the scallops and the teriyaki tofu and it was the best meal out I’ve had in a long time! Their kombucha was the best! The service was incredible- Gui was the best server I’ve ever had, he was so attentive, informative and lovely. Whether you’re visiting bournemouth or you’re a local this is an absolute must to visit!!!

Twelve is absolutely amazing! 😍 Such incredible food and the decor is stunning. It's so nice to be able to eat and drink everything on the menu! I am a vegan and my meat eater husband loved his vegan scallops, steak and crumble! Special shout out for the espresso martini, 'camembert' and blood orange sorbet!

Absolutely fantastic, I am not a vegan and the food was amazing.

Yeah my night was ruined and I ended up getting picked up by Police and sent to Bournemouth hospital! Thanks for ruining my night and I am now in a mental health hospital in Edinburgh! I will never come again 😔! Kind regards, Ivan Liamin

So happy to stumble across this gem yesterday. The food was divine, every mouthful was delicious and the girl that served us was an absolute star. I wish I lived closer to come here more often. Thank you Twelve Eatery for a great experience ☺️

Absolutely gorgeous food and service. Highly recommended!

Went there for my brother's birthday , Hope to come back again soon

Really fantastic vegan food. Absolutely loved it and had a birthday surprise too 😊 I highly recommend you give this place a try.

We went for the camenbert, scallops, the burger and the steak. All were incredible. Vegan fine dining in an atmosphere that could be very pretentious if it wanted to be, but instead has a friendly, cosy vibe. Would recommend!!! Only regret is not having room for the cheesecake.

I like my meat, so does my mate. So we both were unsure what to expect here today. But what a Fantastic experience we had , food was beautifully presented and the staff are clearly passionate. Extremely tasty food! I honestly didn’t think vegan food could be this GOOD 😊! credit to chef & all staff 👍

I enjoyed the visit to Twelve, it's a lovely restaurant if you are looking for vegan food. It was something different for me and not my bag but for some it would be amazing. Totally recommend if you are looking for a plant based menu

On our stop in Bournemouth, we stumbled upon this place. What a nice surprise: the atmosphere, the service, the food. The taste of their plantbased dishes are stunning.

Outstanding food whether vegan or not, well worth the trip from Yorkshire!

Some of the best vegan food I have ever had wasn’t amazed by the crumble but they happily took it back and the other dessert I had was wonderful

First visit to this fully vegan restaurant in Bournemouth. Wanted to take my omni friend for a treat and a treat it was! We loved everything about our experience, from the excellent food, to the attentive service with a smile and relaxed atmosphere. Will certainly return.

Avoid if you are gluten free - I messaged in advance as I am coeliac and wanted to be sure I could have their nut roast, they said it would be fine so we booked for my birthday. It wasn’t until we arrived and had our starters that they said I couldn’t have the nut roast. They told me whatever they gave me would be comped so I should get over it, although the rest of my party were only there because it was my choice for my birthday, and they then served me still frozen Yorkshire puddings alongside my meal. If they had been honest from the start we could have saved a lot of time and money, they seemed very confused by the concept of having gluten free food despite it being marked on the menu. Really disappointing and quite an uncomfortable dining experience.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and super friendly service. Only thing that that I could ask for more of this the food becuase it was so tasty. My partner said is was the best vegan restaurant he'd been to in 16 years!

The food was delicious, well presented.

5 🌟 food, service and ambience. They take such care in curating the menu, and are very knowledgeable about the food they're serving. Attentive and nice chilled vibes, one of the best vegan restaurants I've been to in the UK!

Highly recommend the Camembert to start, steak for main and cheesecake for dessert. Cocktails delicious. Expensive meal but lovely restaurant. Highlight of day trip to Bournemouth.

That was my partners birthday, I brought cake and flowers from somewhere else , so the staff been really helpful to organise our bday they are so friendly I really love that place , but the food been a bit expensive hope they put the price down lol 😉. otherwise i highly recommend %100

Stunning as always! Service impeccable, these guys always go the extra mile which is why we continue to come back. Without asking they wrote happy birthday in chocolate on my partners dessert and presented with a candle. Such a great restaurant and so pleasing to see it busy

Heavenly divine. Left speechless by some of the flavours a thoroughly beautiful experience provided by a passionate and creative team. Highly recommend the advice from the staff they really know their stuff. Thank you twelve eatery can't wait to come back, the cheesecake really does live up to the hype!

I can honestly say this was the beat food I have ever tasted .. The flavours were out of this world and i could not believe it all was vegan … i had the scallops which were made out of mushrooms - amazing but the creme de la creme was the raw lasagne - the flavour was to die for. We then finished off with the coconut cheesecake which awakened every taste bud i had … we certainly will be visiting again. It is now my all time favourite restaurant not just because of the food, but the staff too, who were so professional and charming.. The only down fall was the music - it was far to loud and not to my taste but apart from that a big 5 stars all the way.❤️

Truly exceptional experience. Long-established yet we only came across it recently when searching for the top-rated restaurant in town. It’s top rated for a reason - the food is fantastic, the service superb, and the ambience delightful. My menu choices on the night:- 1. Vegetable Tempura - scrummy! 2. ‘Ribeye Steak’ with peppercorn sauce, parmesan chips and vegetable garnish - delicious! And fully satisfying (55g of protein) even though (or is it because?) it was totally vegan and I am normally a meat-eater! 3. To share: (a) Dulce de Leche Cheesecake with toasted coconut and ginger crumble, and (b) Chocolate Orange Tort with blood orange sorbet - both luscious! All served with friendly aplomb, in a lovely atmosphere, at an easy to reach (and to park near) location. Nothing short of excellent! So good in fact, we have already booked up again for next week!

Brilliant restaurant! No need to be vegan - you will enjoy the food. Everything we tried was delicious and well presented. The decor is nice. The waiter was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the restaurant’s offerings which are all healthy organic… vegan virtues. There are very few vegetarian restaurants of this quality, where being vegetarian is irrelevant. Lifelong vegetarians, keen travellers and have tried hundreds of restaurants in our time. This one is in our top three. World class !

These guys have hands down done an amazing job at creating wonderful vegan dishes! No processed food all made with real ingredients. The cashew Camembert & beetroot gnocchi are to die for! Absolute must! Lovely cocktails too!! Highly recommend.

We’re not vegan but wanted to try because of the great reviews online and we were not disappointed at all. Absolutely amazing food, service and ambience. We will definitely come back again. Would recommend.

Been looking forward to coming to Twelve Eatery on a trip to Bournemouth for a while. My first time at a vegan restaurant and it was amazing. All the food was delicious and to be able to eat anything from the menu was a welcome change. We had the ‘scallops’ oyster mushrooms, raw lasagna, teriyaki tofu, cheesecake and chocolate torte. All were amazing, particularly the lasagna so tasty. Will definitely be back to try more from the menu. The people who work there are clearly very passionate, so friendly and helpful with menu choices. The decor and music add to the lovely atmosphere.

Food is good. But way too pricey for the food that is served.

I couldn't be more in love with Twelve. I always feel so relaxed there and I can feel the love and passion that goes into the food. It's more than just a resturant! Dalton & Greg are beautiful people too which makes the experience even more special. I literally don't want to dine anywhere else! 💚

The flavours from the kitchen are only constrained by the imagination of the cooking staff. Look forward to more "Wonka type" experiences in the future.

Flawless. Genuinely cannot not think of a single improvement that could be done. Every part of every meal was outstanding.

Twelve is phenomenal. The flavours, ingenuity and technique in the food is fantastic, matched by a drinks list obviously made with love and personal, charismatic service. It's not often you get a strong ethos, and food & drink of this quality under one roof. When you do, it is normally fantastically expensive. Twelve is a rare thing that informs, delights, made this meat eater have one of his favourite meals in a long time, and all for a fraction of the price that would be fair. Can't recommend enough

You have to try this place I can not praise this place anuff

I am so happy that I finally tried this place!! I only eat raw foods (mainly fruit). I had the raw lasagna, and it was quite literally, the very best raw meal that I’ve ever had! So much flavour, it was delicious 🤤. I’m craving more already, so will without a doubt, be going back very soon for more. The whole menu looks lovely though and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. My new favourite place 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽.

We came for new years day lunch today and were blown away by how delicious the food was. There is a fantastic range of vegan food to choose from, and a lovely selection of drinks. The food was freshly prepared and tasted absolutely amazing. The service was excellent. The venue is stunning and it's lovely that dogs are welcome. This is a real gem of a place, and I highly recommend.

Nice food . Nice place bonus it's all vegan. I've been vegan years . The Xmas menu was on so not as much choice but ok. Only thing I would say even though I'm vegan I don't eat vegan cheese and a lot of the choices contained it

The service was very friendly and efficient. The ambiance was perfect as was the decor. There were four of us eating and the food was absolutely delicious! Very good value for money and a really pleasant lunchtime. You can tell the people who work here are passionate about what they do as well. We will be back! :)

Delicious!! My partner & I enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch here. All the staff were friendly, catered to our needs and ensured we enjoyed a wonderful culinary experience. Our starters, mains and desserts were all superbly prepared, cooked and seasoned to perfection! You can taste how fresh the produce is and that they lovingly make the yummy vegan proteins in-house. We highly recommend and look forward to going again soon.

Superb food and wonderful service.

Looked up best vegetarian places to eat in Bournemouth- twelve came up. It lived up to its name- service was lovely and the person taking care of us was attentive and passionate about the food they serve. Food was AMAZING! I recommend you give it a try- don’t be put off that it’s a fully vegan menu- all the food was incredible and made with skill. Also loads of GF options! Try the ‘camembert’ it was one of the best things I have eaten in a long time. Will 100% be telling friends about this place and we will going back for more!

Went here for my 40th. The staff and atmosphere were lovely. The food is great. The only reason for the 4 stars was the waiter messed up the starter, then asked if my husband wanted another wine with his dinner and he said yes but the wine never arrived, but it was put on the bill. It was busy so maybe that's why. Would still go back and highly recommend.

Amazing vegan organic restaurant. Great design and the best desserts in Bournemouth! The nut roast came with all the trimmings, very tasty and aromatic. The Dolce de Leche cheesecake was the best cheesecake ever! My friend had the berry crumble which was also amazing!

Everything is so tasty! Beautiful well presented meals! Perfect portion size, I intend to try something else at each visit so I don't miss out! I'll be returning soon! 💚

Really great, attentive service. Very delicious food, very well presented. Very friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Walking into Twelve we were struck by the ambient music coupled with a low rumble of chatter and strong silence coming from the kitchen except for the chefs prepearing the food. The front of house staff were very perceptive greeting parties at the door, walking us through the menu and answering any questions we had in a way that shows care. The food was surreal at times leaving us wondering wether what we were eating was in fact vegan. Could not recommend this place enough!

Incredible food with knowledgeable staff to give insight into what was on the menu. Miami vibe interior clashed a bit with the rainy autumn weather but can imagine it being amazing in summer. Lovely cocktails too
