Slug & Lettuce - The Square Bournemouth

I’ve always enjoyed Slug & Lettuce as a bar in the evenings, but after this lunch visit, I can confidently say it holds its own as a restaurant too. There’s something uniquely enjoyable about having a well-prepared meal in a stylish bar setting, and this experience proved just that. I ordered the Steak & Fries, and I was genuinely impressed. The steak itself was of good quality, with just the right amount of marbling to keep it tender and flavourful. Most importantly, it was cooked exactly to my requested doneness—a sign of both a well-trained kitchen and attentive service. The exterior was beautifully seared, creating a rich, caramelised crust, while the interior remained succulent and juicy. The fries were crisp and well-seasoned, making for a satisfying accompaniment. Beyond the food, I appreciated how the staff took care to ensure my preferences were met, which speaks volumes about the service quality. And for the standard of food offered, the prices were more than reasonable. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both a chic bar vibe and a solid dining experience, this is definitely one to consider!
