Lolas Restaurant

This place never disappoints! It is as amazing as it ever was (I have been coming here, sporadically for the last 8 years) and the quality and service is as good as it ever was. The food, although more expensive now (where isn't?) was up to its usual high standard. But Alex, our waiter, transformed the service experience. So friendly and caring, and nothing seem to be too much trouble for him. Even when we left, facing huge downpours of rain, he welcomed us back and we enjoyed 'one for the road'. A great experience, and Alex had a major contribution to a wonderful late lunch there. Thank you Lolas - you're are as great as ever, and thank you Alex for your kind consideration.

It's 5 years since we were last in Bournemouth and 5 years since we dined at Lolas. The food was fantastic, the delightful staff diligently taking into account a tricky food allergy. We had prawns in garlic, meatballs in mustard and white wine, spinach & blue cheese croquettes & asparagus. It was a lovely time with lovely food in a lovely place served by lovely people! Thank you Lolas...it was a joy to return!

Lovely little independent restaurant in the Triangle area of Bournemouth. Authentic tapas at excellent prices. Croquettes are the best I've had outside Spain, crunchy coated melt in the mouth gorgeousness. Service is first class, so warm and friendly. Vibrant decor with comfy well spaced tables. Free Lolita shots with the bill! I highly recommend this place.

We were visiting Bournemouth to celebrate our 11th Anniversary and so wanted to find a restaurant that was a bit different and not like all the chain restaurants to make it feel more special. The reviews were not wrong and so glad we chose Lolas! A cosy restaurant but with great heart. The staff were extremely welcoming and very helpful in providing recommendations and explaining the menu options. I have to follow a Gluten free diet and was very happy with the menu layout with clear symbols for the different allergens, and plenty of choices which was refreshing to be able to choose from an array of amazing dishes. The food was just amazing (the Inferno Chorizo with its sauce is lush) and the service was quick and attentive. We had 6 dishes between 2 which was probably the upper limit of what you'd want for 2 (just wanted to try so much) and a couple of puddings we shared (well and truly stuffed). Thanks to the staff who made our anniversary that bit more special, it is always great to be able to just relax and enjoy food but when you have a great team of staff it is surprising how it can elevate the experience. I would not hesitate to go here again the next time we are in Bournemouth, in fact I need to make an excuse now just to go there as soon as.
