Incredible food, attentive and helpful staff and a gentle buzz of atmosphere. It has a ramp which is accessible in a wheelchair - you may need a push or if you have power add on you should be fine. Tables have space around and moving chairs was never a problem. Tiled floor for easy wheeling. Situated on the beach front you can see the sea from your table and it's a relaxed, smart casual restaurant. On our second night eating, the bi-folding doors were open which was glorious. Food is outstanding: we are two nights in a row, with different main meals each evening and not one fault found.

I enjoyed the three course lunch deal for approximately 30. The staff are friendly and tentative. Great location and clear sea views.

Had a delightful champagne breakfast at WestBeach which is located right on the beachfront. The food was beautifully cooked and delicious. We did have a long wait for food but we were happy to be fitted in as we had not pre-booked. We were offered coffee while we waited but it wasn't clear if it would be complimentary. It was a lovely place to spend some time though in the sunshine and the staff were very friendly. I saw a sign for a loyalty scheme which would be great for people who visit regularly. I'd love to go back for main meal in the future.

Today I went there with my partner for the first time! Wanted to go so many times but we thought it’s out of our price range. Went today and discovered it was the nicest place we have been too in Bournemouth and we’ve lived here for 2 years. Thank you to the chef for cooking and bringing the food to our table,thank you to Ella who made sure we felt happy today! We will definitely come back!

Here’s a review in British English: ⸻ Had an amazing experience at Wesbeach! As a Brazilian, I can say their seafood is absolutely perfect — fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared. The chocolate fondant for dessert was simply delicious. A special shoutout to Jacob and Mark for their excellent service, making the lunch even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
