Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the views over the sea from the clifftop dining room, with soft French music and beautiful interior design. The cheese soufflé is called the highlight of one diner's night, and the food presentation draws praise. Servers are described as attentive and friendly, though one reviewer's wine arrived after the starter and the kitchen refused extra gravy with the beef.

“Came here after we couldn't find a table at our first few restaurants. Was a good choice though, Theodora was a delight and made everyone she was waiting on feel welcome. The atmosphere is very nice, great views too. There's a gluten free menu available online. The food was good although I thought the default medium for the steak was a bit too much. Also the creme brulee was still cold and needed more time with the flame I thought. Oh and the cheese soufle was the highlight of the night for me. Overall a nice night out.”

“Lowed this place and we went there twice, once for breakfast and another time for a late lunch. The food was really nice, service attentive and friendly, atmosphere- probably one of tr best I've experienced in UK: beautiful interior design with nice soft French music, amazing views over sea and Bournemouth coast, as restaurant is on top of a cliff. Loved this place, will recommend!”

“We have been to a few Brasserie Blanc's across the UK and while this one doesn't have as nice of an ambiance, the food is still great and the staff was extremely polite and helpful. It's a bit of an older building so as mentioned about the ambiance, it doesn't have as much of an upscale feel as day the Cheltenham or even Oxford locations do. Not a huge deal of course but one side has great views of the ocean with more plush booths while the other side is more standard tables and chairs with minimal views and tables/chairs that are definitely showing their age. The food was still of great quality with the risotto being a solid pick along with the trout. Our server, Theodora, was fantastic and very attentive, never leaving us feeling ignored or forgotten. Overall I'd say that this was still, for the most part, up to the standard I expected from Brasserie Blanc locations, just wish the feel of the dining area was a little more updated.”

“Our table had the remnants of the previous patrons, we cleared their glasses etc no biggie. We asked 3 times for the table to be cleaned. Husband had a burger and fries he said was just above average and mine (photo) was tasteless and an offering of veg for what it was worth. Tip is included in the bill but service wasn’t great, a bit of background music would have been nice.”

“We were really looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing from start to finish. Although the restaurant didn’t seem particularly busy, our drinks took a long time to arrive and were incorrect when they finally did. The food also took far too long. The crab tasted as though it had come straight from the fridge, the lamb jus was watery and lacked any real depth of flavour, and the peppercorn sauce served with the steak was very poor. What made the experience even more frustrating was that nobody checked on us during the meal to ask if everything was okay. In the end, we simply paid and left feeling very let down.”

Good to know
“Brasserie Blanc in Bournemouth offers classic French food as well as some wonderful new dishes inspired by Raymond Blanc’s travels. We have something for everyone, so if you don’t have a ‘taste for adventure’ then tuck into great steaks, burgers, fishcakes and awesome desserts. Our brasseries are warm and welcoming with comfortable spaces where you can gather with friends, family or colleagues for a leisurely lunch, our seasonal, two course set menu or dishes from our extensive a la carte menu. Many of our restaurants have great little bars and lovely outside areas where you can stave off the hunger until dinner with a glass of wine, a beer or a refreshing cocktail. We look forward to welcoming you “chez nous”.”
