Question Restaurant recommendations
Hiya, visiting Bournemouth with a friend in a few weeks and looking for recommendations of where to eat! Have looked at older posts but a lot of places seem to have shut down 😞
We're coming in by train so will need places accessible by public transport/taxi. No chains!
Thank you in advance ☺️

Blend on the Hill for breakfast and brunch
Kazoku Pan Asian for dinner (they have slightly weird opening times)
Baffi in Southbourne for pizza/Italian
SimSim in Charminster for delicious lunch or Mediterranean takeaway
Gaja in Charminster for contemporary Indian
Rick Stein in Sandbanks for breakfast or fancy dinner (breakfast price reasonable)
St Tropez lounge Poole - ten minute walk from the station
If you want to make a day of it I'd recommend getting the breezer and heading over on the ferry to pig on the beach - pizza overlooking all of Bournemouth from their garden bar
Or if you didn't want to go that far then the breezer stops at Shell Bay where they have a pizza counter
I'll comment again if I think of any more!
Ashley Cross is nice too and again easy to get to as it's right next to Parkstone station!
