The Overstrand on the Boscombe Promenade is where you would find the Urban Reef, a funky bar, deli, cafe and restaurant, known for the stunning views of Bournemouth Bay and the surf reef. The atmosphere at this remarkable eatery is restful and you could linger over a deliciously prepared meal or maybe just a drink. The furniture might appear functional but it's a simple representation of the 1950's sense of quirky and fun, and the decor is punctuated by leather banquettes and candle and oak lined walls, creating a delightful retro feel.

Walk in for a tasty breakfast of eggs Florentine or probably brunch with a bowl of fresh mussels and coffee. Come evening there could be a starter of pan fried scallops with curried cauliflower, tamarind and ginger dressing, set off perfectly by a main course involving grilled Hampshire lamb served with new potato, okra and bok choi. Finish with a lemon and mascarpone tart and choose from the wide selection of Old and New World wines at Urban Reef to complement your meals.
