We wandered past this place the other evening in the hope they were still serving food (it was…read moreafter 9pm and other places nearby had closed their kitchen) and the lady proprietor (let's call her Lolita?) ushered us in briskly with a friendly smile stating 'of course'!
The restaurant is vibrantly decorated, take a moment to look at all the photos in the frames on the wall as there are some lovely pictures.
The menu is only a page long, but the saying 'it's quality, not quantity, that counts' certainly rings true for this place. Lolita kept reiterating that the food was home made (unlike many of the other local places nearby apparently) and she carefully guided us through the menu making suggestions as she went. We ordered 5 tapas dishes and each one was delicious, especially the MASSIVE langousites in lemon and oil (which were only £6 for 5!). AND, the house red wine was the best house red I've ever had.
The couple who run it were charming and friendly, with just the right amount of attention you want during dinner.
At the time of visiting, they were only accepting cash, but they said they were looking into possibly taking cards sometime soon. There's a cash machine nearby if you get caught short.
This place has only been open for 8 months, but if our experience was anything to go by it's a very promising beginning and I wish them the best of luck, I know I'd go back if I'm ever in Bournemouth again!
