Restaurants

Bournemouth has a reputation as a bustling and cosmopolitan destination with food and drink to match. From light bites and pub food to 5-star haute cuisine, we’ve got formal dining for special occasions and impressing important clients as well as more relaxed settings so you can satisfy your hunger while you catch up with friends.

We’ve got well-known international and British chains and small independent restaurants serving specialist and international cuisine. From burger bars to ice cream parlours, you can have a fun filled retro diner experience. Or, celebrate other cultures in a pizzeria or curry house. Whether you’re looking to indulge in a firm favourite or try something completely new, you’ll find it in Bournemouth.

Many of our restaurants are spacious with plenty of tables, so if you’re out to eat with a large group or visiting on a busy Saturday night, you’ll be spoilt for choice when making your booking. There are also more intimate venues where highly skilled local chefs will treat you to homemade dishes and world cuisine – perfect for a romantic meal or special occasion.

Many of our hotels also feature high-quality and award-winning restaurants that are open to the public.

Several of our restaurants are located along our breathtaking coastline – nestled in our iconic wooded chines and even on the pier – so you can dine in unique locations while soaking up the sea views. Alternatively, you’ll find eateries all over the town, so you can grab a bite to eat between shops or before you catch a movie. Our cinema complex is complete with a huge variety of restaurants, so you can ‘umm’ and ‘err’ to your heart’s content. Or, if you venture out into our coastal villages, you’ll uncover one-off hidden gems dotted along the suburban streets.

Of course, your British seaside holiday wouldn’t be complete without a fish and chip supper and there are plenty of restaurants around the resort that will serve up this traditional dish or add their own unique twist.
