  “It felt like I was abroad on Holiday. Id just done a 5k hike of the beach, and was feeling peckish, wanted somewhere with outdoor tables so that I could see the beach. This place was lush. Food and drinks for ace. Massive menu. Friendly staff”

  “We visited El Murrino during our stay in Bournemouth. It's table service only and we waited about 10 minutes before anyone came to take our order, but after that the service was good. Before visiting I'd emailed to ask if there would be music. Unfortunately there wasn't any when we arrived. When they finally put some on it seemed to be Sean Paul on repeat! It was quite funny when the waiter described it as Afro house/Latin house, because it definitely wasn't. I asked if they could change the music and, to their credit, they did. They put on some decent beach house, which completely transformed the atmosphere. Once the music changed, the whole place had a much better vibe and we decided to stay. The food was excellent. I had the smoked salmon and avocado salad, which came with a huge amount of smoked salmon and was great value. The fish and chips were also very good. A DJ started at 6pm, but unfortunately we had to leave. Overall, El Murrino is in a fantastic seafront location with great food, good drinks and friendly staff who were happy to accommodate our request. With the right music, it's a brilliant place to relax by the beach. We'd definitely go back.”

  “Fantastic every time we come here. Comfy seating with the choice of decking or sand, we'll shaded with umbrellas and helpful friendly staff. Very fairly priced, with brilliant portion sizing. Cooked fast and fresh, hits the spot every time.”

  “Amazing just amazing i love the location 💖 What a fantastic place! The restaurant is spotless, and you can tell they really care about keeping everything clean. I had the burger, and it was absolutely amazing—so delicious and full of flavour! The prices are very reasonable, especially compared to the restaurants around Bournemouth Pier, so it’s excellent value for money. The atmosphere is magical. It genuinely feels like you’re on holiday abroad, with a beautiful beach setting and great house music creating the perfect vibe. Whoever came up with the idea of creating a beach bar like this deserves a huge well done! 👏 It’s a brilliant addition to Bournemouth, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!”

  “The staff were absolutely amazing—so helpful, friendly, and genuinely funny. They really made our day special and kept the energy up the whole time. We ended up spending almost the entire day there, and it never felt dull. It’s such a great place to spend a full day there near beach , and I’d definitely recommend it! everyone should visit this place.”

  “Came to visit this beach bar after a lot of posts on TikTok! The place looked nice, lovely decor and not something you see very much in the UK. Service was not bad, however, food came in plastic plates, portion was small and the price was high. Drink says it comes in a pint size, actually it came in a plastic cup which wasn't the same size and costs 4.50! Asked for tap water and the waiter came with 1 small plastic cup, asked again and the same thing so asked another lovely waiter and he bought a whole jug :-). The tables were also dirty, wet and sandy. They take the payment upfront before giving the food with NO receipt. First ive seen in a restaurant. Nothing matched up to the restaurants decor. Would i come again? NO.”

  “For a tourist heavy restaurant it was actually lovely. It wasn’t too busy & the staff were very helpful and checked on us multiple times. I booked us a table and as we were running about 10 minutes late I called ahead to let them know we’d be late and they were so accommodating and gracious!! They also let us choose a table wherever which was perfect as it was so sunny and we could find somewhere shaded. I highly recommend the pollo pizza & garlic sauce, El Murrino always has amazing pizza! We also got a pina colada mocktail which was so creamy & refreshing!”

  “A great spot for summer drinks, catching up with friends, or a relaxing beach day. The vibe was peaceful, stylish, and perfect for taking photos or just enjoying the sunshine with a coffee. The staff were friendly, the seating was comfortable, and the whole place felt clean and well maintained. Would happily come back again! ☀️🌊💜”

  “We had the most amazing experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to Leo! He was honestly one of the best waiters we’ve ever had — so attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire evening. Leo went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us and always made sure our glasses were full without us even having to ask. Nothing was too much trouble for him, and his warm, welcoming attitude really made the whole experience feel special. Leo truly made our night, and we will definitely be returning because of the incredible service he gave us!”
