New favourite vegan spot 🌱

Probably my new favourite vegan restaurant in the UK. Everything was so delicious, went all out and had 3 courses. Oyster mushroom scallops, breaded Camembert, vegan burger with parmesan truffle fries, gnocchi, Mac & cheese, dulce de leche cheesecake and chocolate torte. Nothing disappointed. Really friendly staff and dog friendly too. Worth every penny and can’t wait to return. Thanks for a delicious meal and perfect end to our trip to Dorset 😊

Pros: Dog friendly, Friendly staff, Delicious food

Has become my favorite place in Bournemouth

Originally I got bored with the menu staying pretty much the same when they opened but I have since come to appreciate the fact that I can always count on amazing presentation, wonderful flavors, great ambience, and excellent service. My favorite dish has always been the tofish and chips and it’s the only place in southwest England where I can find tofu vs banana blossom. Always a fine dining experience here!

Pros: Has tofish and chips, Great atmosphere and service

Cons: Dessert choices have been the same for years

Fine dining experience

Visited Dec ‘23. I wouldn’t usually visit vegan fine dining establishments as they can be on the pricier side and I find the portions are usually quite small. I was surprised by Twelve. I would still only visit as a treat, but the meals and flavours were plentiful and I didn’t leave feeling hungry.

We started with the breaded camembert and the pan seared ‘scallops’ which was my first time ever trying scallops of any kind so I would say they seemed realistic but I couldn’t really make a true comparison. Then we had the truffled teriyaki tofu with mushrooms and rice, and the festive roast dinner. These were super flavoursome and filling. To conclude, we had the dulce de leche cheesecake, which was pretty dreamy. I was really happy with the choices here and I would return, but only for a special occasion!

Wow

I can honestly say Twelve Eatery serve some of the best food in the world. What a wonderful place to have on our doorstep. I can see why it was rated the fifth best vegan restaurant in the world! The staff were fantastic and really lovely and attentive. Every dish we tried was excellent and full of unimaginable flavours. I’d highly recommend the cheesecake.

Excellent vegan food

I regularly visit twelve. The decor is beautiful, the staff are friendly and they are very accommodating for my nut allergy. We came recently for the festive menu and everything was lovely. The chicken in the chicken Caesar salad was homemade !!
Only downside is it is expensive - £92 for a 3 course festive menu for 2 plus one side and service charge, and the portions are a little small. But quality of the food is excellent and would highly recommend to all visitors and locals alike!

Pros: Fully vegan restaurant , Friendly staff , Pretty decor

Cons: Expensive , Small portions

Fun and imaginative

Fun to try quirky meat alternatives like scallops made from mushrooms or vegan black pudding. I liked that they didn't try to make it taste like scallop but did bring out the flavour of the mushroom. All home made, unprocessed and healthy with knowledgeable and helpful servers.

Also recommend the camembert, kombucha and desserts if you have space!

Pros: Service, Fun meat alternatives

Amazing dining experience

Lovely friendly service, amazing diverse menu. There’s a care and craft that goes into the food which can’t be faultered. Service could have been faster but then this is a popular spot

Lovely food and friendly staff

Visited Twelve Eatery for lunch when I was down in Bournemouth for the weekend. Really friendly staff told us all about the menu and the ideas behind the food, and made us feel really welcome. The food itself was lovely - can recommend the raw vegan lasagne and the tofu and chips. Great selection of beers too.

Pros: Friendly staff, Great varied menu

Incredible restaurant with an exciting menu

Can't give this place enough praise! I really loved the menu, with exciting options like breaded camembert and scallops as starters, and rib eye steak as a main option.

I found the staff super friendly and they were keen to give recommendations and answer questions.

This is a must-visit restaurant if you're in Bournemouth!

Pros: Décor - super cute and modern, Friendly and informative staff

Cons: It's a little on the pricey side

Amazing food and service

After hiking 210km across the Jurassic Coast and sleeping outside for 9 days we had such an amazing celebratory meal at Twelve Eatery along with a nice glass of wine. Dalton was the most attentive and friendly waiter I have ever experienced, explaining everything on the menu with a smile and enthusiasm and really made our meal a great experience going above and beyond. The food was some of the best we’ve ever eaten too, we were sat right next to the kitchen and it was a really calm smoothly run operation which was also nice to see. We will definitely come back if we are ever in Bournemouth again.

Pros: Amazing service , Organic, low impact ingredients , Amazing tasting food

Cons: Raw lasagne portion slightly small

Our favourite place on the south coast

The food is unbelievably tasty. As a reformed carnivore, 6 years a vegan I love the Umami flavours and of course the service is second to none. Don’t pass this wonderful place by.

Something special

I’m visiting the area with family so checked Happy Cow for recommendations and booked us a table.

The venue is decorated very tastefully and everything was spotless.

The other two members of the party are meat eaters, sister embraces it and orders the teriyaki, mother finally orders the steak.

I ordered the schnitzel which was delicious and I only suffered a tinge of food envy at the teriyaki after trying some because I doubt I’ll be back In Bournemouth for a long time so can’t come back and order it. I tried some of the steak and I’ve never eaten real steak so can’t say if it was realistic but mum enjoyed it.

Obviously I could resist a pudding. I had a terrine special and sister had the cheesecake. Both absolutely perfect!

Overall it was a fantastic meal, so much flavour.

Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Pros: Decor, Staff , Choice

Great food, great venue

We were visiting Bournemouth so looked for vegan places. Came across 12 eatery. We booked online easily, arrived in time for their afternoon deals. I got the tofu and chips which was excellent. Well presented and delicious. The only slight negative that was (having already purchased two alcoholic drinks) we were asked if we wanted water, seeing table water on the other tables we said yes, assuming this would be repeated. Got a bit of a shock when 4.50 was added to the bill for a bottle of water.

Pros: Great food, All vegan , Central location

Cons: Charged for water

Wow, what a meal!

Stunning innovative food. A real treat. I never thought I'd be able to have smoked salmon again but they recreated a vegan version perfectly. The teriyaki mushroom main was out of this world. Biscoff cheesecake was divine.

Pros: All vegan, Innovation, Décor and style

Simply fabulous!

I visited Twelve Eatery for dinner, it’s unusual for me to have a full three courses but the food was excellent so I took some of their famous cheesecake away with me to enjoy later, I’m so glad I did! I loved this place. The atmosphere, the service, the varied and interesting menu choices, the execution of the meals presented, everything was just spot on. I had a lovely chat with the owner who could not have made me and my dog, Daisy, more welcome throughout our visit. It is a dog friendly venue within the back seating area of the restaurant up until about 5pm.
I opted for the breaded Camembert with caramelised onion and cranberry relish to start and the ‘rib eye’ steak for main, both were excellent. They make pretty much everything freshly on site, except for the cheezes which they buy in. For me this shows in the quality and flavours of the dishes they serve. I don’t really have adequate words to describe the cheesecake, so I’ll just say it’s probably the best I’ve ever had and I can see why it’s a permanent fixture on the menu!
I live in the midlands so sadly Twelve Eatery isn’t on my doorstep, but I look forward to revisiting someday and trying the awesome looking fysh and chips next time!
