With spectacular views across Bournemouth's beautiful sandy beach and the stunning backdrop of the Purbeck hills, it's easy to see why this multi-award winning seafood restaurant has enjoyed such critical acclaim in recent years. Described by AA Gill as "looks as if it has been dropped in from Melbourne", WestBeach combines Mediterranean simplicity with an antipodean vibe to bring you the freshest daily catches straight from the boat to the plate. The extensive wine list marries brilliantly with the 2 rosette menu to bring you a truly memorable dining experience.

    Poor service, very poor food and was told the bill didn't include tips and I was then asked did I want to leave a tip! How this restaurant has gone down hill. The manic atmosphere is about as far removed from relaxed as you can get. I would avoid the inevitable disappointment and head for The Crab.

    We dined for 'Mother's Day' (on the Saturday, not on Mothering Sunday) and were very pleased with our choice! The food was lovely, the atmosphere and beach front position was really nice and we were happy with the service too........ We will dine there again, but were glad we booked as they were turning people away

    We met with friends here on a beautiful sunny day last week for a light lunch. The staff were smiling and knowledgeable, the service was swift and the Fish and Chips delicious. We will return very soon.

    We eat here often and the quality remains consistently good. And what is there not to like being this close to the sea. If you haven't been here yet, you've missed a treat.

    West Beach has always been a favourite of ours and certainly lived up to our expectations again. That's what we like about it - consistently good quality food form a varied menu, excellent, friendly service. The worst thing was deciding what to choose as it was all so good!

    Have eaten here many times over the years and West Beach never disappoints. The menu is fairly small, which suits me, seafood always fresh and well cooked and the casual style and informal, relaxed ambience always welcoming.

    Fabulous meal. Staff attentive but not pushy. We all had fish soup to start which was excellent. The men had fish and chips which was the best they had ever tasted, and the girls had fish stew /and moulles with hand cut chips on the side. All absolutely delicious. Will return.
