Bistro on the Beach
Solent Promenade, Southbourne Coast Road, Southbourne, Bournemouth, BH6 4BE
As the name implies, short of setting up camp on the waterline you will not eat any nearer to the sea than at the Bistro, a fact which has been gratefully accepted by locals and holidaymakers alike who flock in great numbers to enjoy the buzz and informality of this friendly place that offers real value for money. Bustling by day and romantic by night, the Bistro is loved by local customers as well as those from further afield both for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is cooked to order, using predominantly locally sourced produce wherever possible. Choose from a fixed price breakfast or dinner menu. At lunchtime, light bites and an á la carte menu is available from 12am till 4.As the name implies, short of setting up camp on the waterline you will not eat any nearer to the sea than at the Bistro, a fact which has been gratefully accepted by locals and holidaymakers alike who flock in great numbers to enjoy the buzz and informality of this friendly place that offers real value for money.

REVIEWS OF Bistro on the Beach
Brian Williams (30 August 2011)
As a break from the rigmarole, myself and my (rather large) family spent the week visiting Bournemouth for the air festival. My son came across the Bistro on the Beach through Restaurant-Guide.com whilst we were sat on the beach at Boscombe - iPhones are wonderful devices! After a short walk, we were sat outside the Bistro eating mussels, burgers and chips. Our experience couldn't have been more perfect! If you get the chance, go eat at the Bistro, they really know how to make a fuss over you!
Black Owl (25 July 2011)
I am very impressed with the food. This place has great ambience and the perfect view to watch the summer fireworks. I will see you in a couple of weeks. I will be coming back for more.
