  “We met friends here for brunch and we're delighted with their recommendation of this restaurant. The food was good and the menu had something for everyone. I had the champion eggs although it was a bit tricky to decide. The eggs were poached perfectly and it was the perfect portion size (I couldn't help trying a bit of pancake though as they looked so fluffy!) We will definitely come back when next in the area!”

  “Great service, amazing staff. On a busy day during the week, after the beach and without a reservation, the staff managed to find us a table. We would have loved to go upstairs but apparently was drinks only. I ordered the fish curry with rice, which was nice. If felt like there could have been more fish in there, but still a nice meal. Not the cheapest option, but it is a nice place, by the beach, it is to expect.”

  “We walked in without a reservation and were seated straight away at a table in the sun with fantastic views of the beach and sea. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout. The food was excellent. The Goan fish curry was great, and the half chicken was cooked perfectly, still really moist and full of flavour. We had two drinks each and the total bill came to around £80, including the 12.5% service charge, which we thought was fair considering the quality of the food, service and location. Great food, great staff and an unbeatable beachfront location. We'd definitely return and would highly recommend Urban Reef to anyone visiting Bournemouth.”

  “Had a superb last-minute table reservation with this gem! The vibe is chill and the service is quite warm and energetic I must say. But the ultimate catch is the quality of food. I had Hake Fillet, my kids had Lobster roll and Fish and Chips. A bit on the high end of the price range but the quality balances it well. I am very happy with the dessert too. I will definitely come back here when I go to Bournemouth soon! Highly recommended. Good to mention that we had pizza for lunch as well and it was superb!”

  “Walking distance, right on the beach, and good fresh food at good value. July 2026: recent change of ownership, new menu. The most excellent gluten free fish&chips is gone, as are other favourites (Purbeck ice cream, oysters...). Economic pressures, I understand that, and the venue is excellent, and the staff very keen, but I'm sad to see the old regime go.”

  “6 of us enjoyed a wonderful pub lunch on their patio along the Boscombe beach. We ordered drinks and meals at the bar and table service was 5 star. Pizzas were generous sizes and the haddock was genuine. Chips were hot and that is always appreciated. The linguini and the Caesar salad did not disappoint. Highly recommended. Dog friendly with water bowls for dogs provided.”
