The best restaurants in East Cliff and Springbourne Bournemouth South West

It's disappointing that this place isn't vegetarian/vegan anymore, the falafel is good so I decided to still order. Wish I hadn't because at the same time my falafel was being made, burgers were being fried on the grill. Since there was no ventilation the restaurant smelt disgusting and even though there are two grills, both are used for warming up wraps. I saw the server going to warm my falalfel wrap on the grill that had just been used for grilling meat and had to quickly remind him that I'm vegan and that is a no go so he used the other grill but I wasn't convinced how clean it was..... Needless to say it left a bad taste in my mouth (figuratively) and I won't be going back

Cheap, horrible sausages but the bacon was okay. Definitely not good value compared to other offerings, wouldn’t recommend.

An amazing 7 course meal. Each course, explained by 'William' was perfectly balanced to compliment with each other. I enjoyed the palet cleanser of a blackcurrant sorbet which was served before the perfectly cooked lamb. Overall a lovely experience.

Lovely food, really happy with the value

We love everything about this place. Good food. People. Service. Prices.

Today was our first visit to this little gem but it definitely won’t be our last! The relaxed atmosphere, the friendliness of the host & his lovely wife, (the chef) & of course the food! Neither my husband or I had tried Korean food before - boy, were we missing a treat! We had a range of food: delicious Dumplings,, amazing Korean fried chicken (so good we got a take-away portion as well!) & that was just for starters - our mains were equally delicious. Already planning our return trip - thank you guys!

Had a fry up in there yesterday really nice and cooked properly will use the cafe in future 10/10

Great food. Decent portion sizes and great value for money. Love this place great atmosphere really freindly staff. Everything is freashly prepared at time o oder

Absolutely delicious food! Always a bit of a wait but it's worth the wait for the food. Lovely staff and will definitely be coming back

Such a delightful casual little place that offers incredibly tasty food along with more than decent portion sizes and a reasonable price. I am a regular here! Pad Thai noodles in satay is my fav

It’s amazing. First time in Bournemouth and staying in the nearby hotel. Being a Malaysian a long long time ago - this place was amazing and am so glad to speak to the owner and reminisce about old Malaysia. Food was amazing and so far it’s been great. Nice to touch base like this as it’s good for the mind. So thank you for the whole package

Personally I’m not a fan of this type of food , but a local men’s group outing on a Thursday night had changed my perspective!Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was really nice , hot tasty full of flavours and I recommend the deep fried chicken or Beef bulgogi dolsot

What a location! We finally got around to enjoying proper lunchtime pizzas on the beach at this high-season only pop-up beach Italian restaurant and bar. Lovely welcome, choice of shade or sunny seating, very reasonably priced, (all pizzas £14 each, wine £6.50, good choice of food and drinks, great service, and, of course, Stunning Views of the beach and sea. It closes this year at the end of September...looking forward to 2025 hopefully! 2 minor suggestions; it'd be helpful for the kitchen staff to fully cut the pizzas into slices, rather than just score them into "this is where to cut" lines. It took ages to cut through/tear with the little wooden knives... And while the groovy Spanish music is ok...it was a bit much after an hour - the same drum pattern too...a mix of genres, sun-soaked, chilled music, jazz, dubb reggae, West Coast, etc would be welcome... That said, we recommended El M to friends who went today, and they loved it too! Thanks to the lovely team.

My husband & I had a wonderful wedding at the Cottonwood back in 2015 and love to revisit. For our first post pandemic trip back we booked an Afternoon Tea for Easter Monday. Upon arrival we noticed that there were no guest cars onsite which was the first warning sign. When we entered the hotel we were greeted rudely and informed that whilst our booking was in the system there was no chef in that day and he had not been told that we had booked. We were initially told to rebook but as we were only visiting Bournemouth for the Easter weekend we were then told that if we could wait 10mins then they would contact the chef, who lives onsite, and serve us something! Not the most professional welcome or customer management. We did not wait and shall not be returning. Since our last visit the hotel has begun to look run down and in drastic need of an update.

Visitó con otras once personas, para un té crema para celebrar un cumpleaños. Había una amplia selección de sándwiches, bollos, pasteles y tés especiales. La comida era buena y los camareros eran muy serviciales.
