Roots - Menu

You would not expect this from an ordinary parade of shops. This is one of the best meals we have had in the UK. The fact that it was vegatarian made it even better.

Best food we have had for a long time. Lunchtime discovery tasting menu was a real treat. Every course was superb. Staff and chef were very passionate about both the service and the food. If you want a sea view, have a walk along coast beforehand as once inside you are only really interested in the amazing food.

We are a group of 8 friends, and tonight we enjoyed a superb meal in the Roots Private dining room. Every course was delicious, and beautifully presented. The beef Wellington, and the Salmon terrine were delicious, the special cheeseboard was incredible, and we greatly appreciated the Prosecco! And all the other courses were super too! We would like to Thank Jan, Stacey and the Roots team for a truly excellent dinner, and a lovely evening. Happy Christmas to you all. View menu

Great to visit this little gem tucked away in Southbourne Dorset ! The food is both innovative and flavourful often showcasing fresh local produce to its best effect. The turbot last night was a delight as was the venison, in fact every course of the tasting menu was beautifully prepared and presented. Do not be put off by the slightly spartan interior or the unprepossessing exterior. The chef and his wife will soon beguile you with their marvellous food. Booking essential !! A truly wonderful dining experience.

We celebrated a birthday at Roots on 13th of September and had such a delicious experience yet again! The food is exquisite and always beautifully prepared and presented. We went for the Taster menu with wine, and each wine is perfectly paired with the course, chosen for its flavour to accentuate the marvellous dishes prepared by Jan.The dishes themselves are creative, and sometimes surprisingly adventurous, putting contrasting yet complimentary flavours together that really sing on the palette.Nothing is out of place with flavours and we left feeling satisfied and spoilt by both the service and the cuisine!Thank you team Roots for another unforgettable experience!

Truly sublime food and restaurant experience this evening at Restaurant Roots. Jan, his wife Stacey, and Geza, were incredibly welcoming, bringing the food, wine, and our whole evening 's journey through the tasting menu to life. All in a setting quite intimate, warm, and comfortable. As for the food... this was simply another level. Amazingly delicate, yet bold, flavoursome, and intriguing all inviting the senses to pay good attention as we journeyed through the 10 courses, each leading sensually to the next... A personal favourite course was 'Supper ' Jan sharing his 'roots ' and family story, which connected with us delicate and delicious, a course we didn 't want to end. Thank you for View menu

I revisited this place over a month ago and thought I would wait to calm down a bit as I didn't want to gush too much. I'm afraid time hasn't helped, prepare for some gushing. I was so excited to go back after the awful past few months of lock down and not being able to eat out. It was truly lovely going to Roots where we felt extremely safe, every precaution had been adhered to, there was simply no other precaution they could take, and it made for a worryless and carefree dining experience. The place has also had a bit of a refurbishment and looks super, modern but still cosy.We enjoyed some cocktails and then the food arrived, and oh-my-gosh, it was phenomenal. Every bite of every course t...

Is this Bournemouth's best restaurant for lunch? Despite several unsuccessful attempts to secure a reservation at this intimate 16-seat establishment during previous visits to the area, we were finally able to snag a spot for Saturday lunch. Owned and operated by Jan and Stacey Bretschneider, the family-run restaurant boasts a bright, clean, and stylish dining room. Guests can choose between two tasting menus: the Seasonal menu priced at £49 with optional extras, or the full Classic menu at £79. After being warmly greeted by the charismatic maître d', we were treated to a selection of delicious snacks before indulging in the 'Dad's countryside supper', which included a malty loaf of warm rye...

So I have been trying not to write a review due to my somewhat bias opinion of this establishment.However what I have learnt in my last two trips is,PRAWNS massive, huge, humongous, prawns almost bigger than the restaurant it’s self. These giants of the sea are almost a meal in themselves you have to try these for yourself.Give me a B Give me a UGive me a NGive me a SWhat have you got BUNS The best BUNS you have ever tasted ever in the world.I’m pretty sure the dynamic husband wife combo have an underground kitchen one filled with umpa lumpas , house elves , mystical cooking unicorns or some type of supernatural beings. As from there modest kitchen they can cook any type of food from anywher... View menu
