The food was excellent, I had the chicken breast with stilton and apricot sauce and it was absolutely delicious!! The service was fairly quick and our server was very friendly and helpful, making sure the coeliac in our group would be okay with what she was ordering. We also had desserts, including the gluten free profiteroles, and they were amazing! Will definitely be coming back ๐๐ผ

Great experience- dog friendly and catering for what looked like all dietary needs.
Staff friendly
Gluten free has its own separate menu on request at the bar which is very comprehensive. They mark up the dishes as GF when serving so no mix ups. Pictures attached show the gf burger looks (and tasted) great with no difference to main menu.
Fantastic and thank you!
A fun spot that impresses with quick service and thoughtful touches for special occasions, making meals enjoyable and stress-free.

I am gluten free and I can't find many places to eat but Zizzi is brilliant as they can cater for you. We had a lovely waiter called Josh who was very helpful and polite

Weโre gluten free - We came down on a visit to Bournemouth and saw the reviews. The GF bases on the Pizzas were big and tasty pizzas were great as was the service. Would definitely come again.
Expect a vibrant atmosphere with fantastic sea views, friendly service, and a buzz of excitement that keeps people coming back!

Great selection of gluten free dishes. The battered tofu is my favourite. Completely vegan menu. Owners are awesome too!
Modern and relaxing spot with a great vibe, perfect for celebrations, though the menu could use a more streamlined approach.

Fantastic food and exceptional service by Emily! Very friendly and showed excellent product knowledge and was able to answer questions immediately. All the dishes were correct (table of 11) and really good gluten free options, separate fryers. 10/10 would recommend

Guys Who Dine
Is this the best cafe/bar in Bournemouth?
Although we were staying in a hotel that does a very nice breakfast,we prefer to eat later without getting up too early.
Just a short walk through town and up to the Triangle.
The interior is bright and possibly a little camp.
Think pink & neon and maybe a flamingo lurking somewhere with a bit a glam.
There's wooden table's & chairs, as well as comfy sofas to sink into.
It's a very friendly and welcoming space.
You can just have a coffee,or choose from an array of freshly prepared food.
Whatever side of the fence you are,gluten free,veggie,vegan,they cater to all tastes.
But we're not any of those.
An all day breakfast is what we are craving.
As you enter,find an available seat to settle into and place your order at the counter.
This can be difficult at times,as it's a very sort after spot.
The breakfast is freshly cooked to order and arrives at the table in no-time.
The highlight has got to be the very tasty sausages. At ยฃ9.25,it's quite good value.
In fact all their prices are very reasonable for the quality and service.
In the evening they have different events as well.
Our only problem is,when we bring our boys,that's doggies. We can't get out of the place.
As so many people want to say hello to them.
This is truly the friendliest and best cafe in Bournemouth where everyone is welcome.
Oh,and our boys love all the attention.
A cozy spot with great vibes, offering lovely sea views, a wide menu, and even options for four-legged friends to join in on the fun!

Love the Commodore for food with friends. Lisa and Charlie are so friendly and kind. Very welcoming and attentive. Food was excellent. Have to say Iโm so pleased you now do gluten free chips in a designated fryer.
Enjoy stunning ocean views from a cozy spot with a diverse menu perfect for any meal, offering tasty treats and a great atmosphere.

Prezzo offers a modern and stylish setting, with a neutral palette of greys and earthy tones creating a calm and contemporary atmosphere. Itโs an inviting space, but when it comes to the food, I expected a bit more.
We ordered a gluten-free pasta and a Margherita pizza, both of which were decent but unremarkableโthe kind of dishes you could find just about anywhere. For a brand like Prezzo, I anticipated a higher level of quality and flavour, but the execution felt standard rather than special.
That said, the service was excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring a smooth and pleasant dining experience. While the food didnโt impress, the service certainly did.
Enjoy a warm and cozy atmosphere with attentive service that makes your dining experience feel special and tailored to your needs.

I had a wonderful dining experience, thanks to Harriet, our waitress. She was incredibly attentive and made sure to double-check that my meal was completely gluten-free, which I truly appreciated. Her care and attention to detail made me feel at ease and able to enjoy my meal without worry. Harrietโs friendly demeanor and professionalism really stood out, and I highly recommend her for anyone who values excellent service. Thank you, Harriet, for going the extra mile!

Ambrose's Legit Honest Reviews
Superb pub with extremely attractive, decorative green style frontage and colourful floral baskets. Looked very inviting - anywhere that doesn't have faded plastic efforts oozing and burgeoning out of pots is always a very good sign. Excellent choice of muso playing from the Travelling Wilburys to the Beatles, from Fleetwood Mac to Cat Stevens. Dog friendly pub. Live music. Menu proffering homemade food. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options available. Has sheltered outdoor seating area to the rear of the pub which is colourful and well designed. Very large range of handpulled cask beers. When I visited, they had the lovely drop that is Adnam's Ghost Ship on, along with Butcombe Brewing Co's Original Beer, Butcombe's Adam Henson's Rare Breed Pale Ale, Butcombe's Gold Golden Ale, Otter Ale, Liberation Brewing Co's Ale Golden Beer, Liberation's IPA, Liberation's Herm Gold Blonde Beer and Dartmoor Brewery's Jail Ale. Highly recommended pub.
This spot impresses with a fantastic atmosphere, excellent service, and a great variety of delicious meal options for any occasion.

Great selection at breakfast at a reasonable price. The fresh omelette maker was a hit, the service was impeccable and the fact that they had gluten free options on request (at least gf corn flakes and bread) as well as knowledge at hand of which cooked breakfast items were gluten free (all but sausages) was brilliant!
Perfect for celebrations, this spot offers a vibrant atmosphere, attentive service, and a unique touch with locally sourced options that impress everyone.

Had two great dinners here during my staff in Southbourne. While you end up having a lot of dishes, the food was tasty and locally sourced which I loved. Most of the menu was also gluten free, or able to be adapted, which meant I had plenty to choose from! Service was also great and friendly and gave lots of recommendations for the area
Charming spot with a cozy vibe and great music, perfect for a delightful breakfast experience that keeps you coming back for more.

I had high expectations after reading multiple positive reviews, so I was disappointed not to be able to give 5 stars.
The gluten free menu only works if you don't have other intolerances and like halloumi and spinach.
I ended up building my own breakfast.
2 rashers of bacon
1 poached egg
2 halves of tomato
1 portion baked beans (looked like 1/2 portion)
1 slice gluten-free bread (toasted)
How much do you think that ought to cost?
Now, I know I'm a Yorkshire lass and this cafe is in Bournemouth, but ยฃ8.50... that's a bit steep and worthy of an "'Ow much?"
Everything about the Olive Cafe is distinctly average. For me personally, charging prices like ยฃ8.50 for a barely there breakfast is a bit cheeky. Either improve the quality and portion size or reduce the amount you charge.
With a welcoming vibe, this spot serves amazing coffee, fresh dishes, and has a laid-back atmosphere perfect for revisiting.

Popped in today for the first time as often mentioned on Facebook about how good it is.
As I'm gluten free I often struggle to find places I can eat normal food rather than limited choices so emailed Dave ahead to check. Replied straight back and even offered to make a gf brownie to satisfy my sweet tooth! How accommodating!
Food was excellent, fresh and hot.
Brownie was Amazing! Let me know when you do it again can I buy some to bring home !!
Thank you and will definitely be added to my list of places to head back too!
With a cozy vibe, attentive service, and stunning views, this spot is perfect for groups and has something for everyone.

Empanadas were some of the best gluten free food I've ever had. Lovely staff, and you feel like you've completely escaped the businesses of Boscombe when you sit inside. Lovely aesthetic inside, with lots of plants and lots of colour.

Coeliac, had bottomless evening brunch. Emailing about gluten free food was not very helpful. I was quite anxious about what it would be like and whether if be able to eat. Once I arrived Libby made me totally comfortable. She was really knowledgeable about allergens and what I could safely eat off the menu. Some gluten free menu items are not listed, such as the gluten free cheeseburger.
It was absolutely lush, we were so well looked after by Libby, with drinks flowing...what an absolute babe she was!
Enjoy a fantastic experience with attentive service and great meal adjustments, ensuring everyone leaves happy and satisfied.

My experience at the Real Greek was great, the food was nice, and the group I went with all enjoyed the meal. Our severer was very accommodating and very good all night, ensuring that my gluten free mother did not feel out of place of that her dietary requirements were a problem, his name was Gabriel.
Lovely lovely food and service. Highly recommended, amazing as vegan and gluten free. My mum couldn't believe it was all gluten free and kept checking.
