Wine and dine the night away
When the sun starts to set, it’s time to get your glad rags on and head somewhere special for a meal. As we mentioned, Urban Reef caters all day long, and serves a wonderful evening menu in its restaurant. More great restaurants are found dotted across Bournemouth, and these are just a couple of our favourites…
Arbor is the town’s newest 2 AA Rosette restaurant, based in The Green House hotel right in the centre of town. These guys are fanatical about provenance and all their ingredients are sourced from within a 50-mile radius. 1805 is the new kid on the block, opening in 2018 to a lot of fanfare and all of the area’s glitterati on hand. Happily, after such a bold start it has delivered the goods again and again. The setting is opulent, you’re offered traditional Chinese dishes with a modern approach, and the terrace is a great place to kick back and reflect on the day. The Crab is another AA 2 Rosette holder and, again, it’s just around the corner from both the pier and the BIC. This is your destination for fresh and incredibly locally sourced fish, so close to their origin that the fish could have cycled here themselves.
