1. The Real Greek - Bournemouth

£10Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserA really lovely table outside next to heater. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. The Greek sangria did the trick!

2. Dane and Port

£17Reservation AvailableFusion Cuisine

TheForkUserThere was no menu, which was such a nice experience. All I had to say was "yes please" and "thank you". The pace of service was perfect. The Alchemist was on hand to answer any questions about the food she had prepared. Great vibe.

3. The Curlew

£36Reservation AvailableWestern-styleOpen Late

TheForkUserAmazing food and excellent service from Sharon who went "over and above" to ensure we all had a fantastic experience; only our second visit, we will definitely make it a first port of call when meeting family/friends for a celebratory meal, plus recommend it to others

4. Vicolo Restaurant Pizza and Pasta

£25Western-style

TheForkUserVery welcoming and attentive service, authentic Italian food and typical Neapolitan pizza.I spotted this restaurant browsing online for our family weekend in Bournemouth knowing already what I wanted to order: pizza fritta, fried dough filled with salami and ricotta…very difficult to find normally. I was not wrong, I enjoyed every bite.Dessert was delicious too, service fast.

TheForkUserWhat an absolute gem! Fantastic food and such a lovely place too. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Food was amazing - chicken terrine for him and Poached hake with a pea mousse, salt and vinegar gel, warm tartar sauce, potato scraps for me. Amazing!Both had the beef cheeks and risotto-delicious - Slow cooked beef cheek, risotto milanese, bone marrow butter and parsley Pudding if Arctic roll with lemon curd and white chocolate for him and Pistachio and Tahini Babka with Pistachio Ice Cream for me.Love red wine too

6. The Plume Of Feathers

7. Stag's Head Inn

£13Western-style

TheForkUserLovely Pub with excellent food and staff, we had a great time as a family here and would recommend it to anyone show appreciates English pubs in lovely settings

8. Tickled Pig

Reservation AvailableWestern-styleOpen LateView

TheForkUserThis must be one of the best restaurants in Dorset, if not the best! Notwithstanding the fabulous fresh food that comprises all three menus (and you don’t have to stick to just one) the always friendly staff and terrific ambience make this my go-to eatery for simple evenings as well as “special occasions”.Easily on a par with Michelin starred London restaurants and better value too!Change of ownership hasn’t detracted at all, long may it continue.

9. Willett Arms Wimborne

13. Harvester Spyglass Inn Weymouth

Reservation AvailableWestern-styleViewOpen Late

TheForkUserVisited the Spyglass for my birthday meal. Our server, Terry, was just the right person for the job. Very friendly willing to have a joke and very pleasant. We arrived at 18.00 and all was well, then at 18.30 a party of 16 arrived and from then on service was slowed dramatically. Terry was also had a lot of tables of 4 or 6 to serve. He did his very best but he was obviously slowed by this big party, so our meal took longer than it should have. He was very proffessional and just dealt with everyone methodically and calmly. Full marks to him for a great job.

14. LAMBS GREEN INN

Reservation AvailableWestern-styleOpen Late

TheForkUserAbsolutely excellent roast dinner, we will definitely be back again soon! Everything was brilliant. The lovely new landlady, Rebecca, came around personally to introduce herself and check how our meal was, really nice touch!

15. The Crab at Bournemouth

£34SeafoodOpen Late

WillSumA seafood restaurant ranked very high in the local area. It is very convenient to find near the International Center and the beach. There are people playing piano in the whole store. You can hang clothes in advance. You can see that the service is very meticulous and thoughtful. The most distinctive thing is of course the seafood. When we went there, the crab was 24 pounds, which was quite good. The other oysters were very fresh.

16. Harry Ramsden's

£25SeafoodOpen Late

TheForkUserOnce we got seated, the 2 men who looked after us and served us were brilliant, we could not fault the service or the food.We are Afternoon Tea fans, and were at the Cafe Royal 2 weeks ago for my Wife's Birthday and did not know what to expect from Savoury Afternoon Tea at Harry Ramsdens in Bournemouth, something different, but it was great, so good we have purchased another voucher.

17. Aruba Restaurant & Bar

£14Bars/BistrosOpen Late

358***33This is a western restaurant on the Bournemouth seafront. It has a large front and a striking sign that can be seen from a distance. The restaurant is spacious and has a good dining environment. The western food here is good, especially the seafood, which is relatively inexpensive. The service is very good, and you don't have to wait for a seat even at mealtime.
