Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

First visited November last year and drove all the way from Portsmouth in a storm just to come back when I had a hankering for their macaroni cheese balls. Absolutely worth it! By far the loveliest atmosphere and the most fantastic service with a smile....Highly recommend!More

Me (a regular) and my friend (new to moose kitchen) went for dinner the other day and the food was as good as ever. My friend is vegan and was grateful for the array of vegan options when other places in Bournemouth just have ‘salad’...or no vegan options at all. He polished off the Vegan Deep Fried Burrito and compliments it to this day. I enjoyed my ‘usual’ of the Philly Cheese with Red Wine Jus and Marinara sauce. It’s always a lovely experience just drinking in Moose kitchen; the food being to-die-for is just a plus. I’m constantly looking forward to eating there and I will once again be ordering a Philly cheese for my dinner next week :)More

I’m a Canadian who’s lived here for 26 years. I was craving a taste of home and found this restaurant in a Google search. The menu looked great and the reviews were really good, so hubby and I went this evening to try it out....The owner was so welcoming and friendly. The food and service were outstanding. At the end when we said we couldn’t linger because we needed to get back for one of our dogs she said we should bring her next time and pointed out the dog friendly sign. We had already planned to come back but that clinched it for us. Between us we had the Roast Beef Dip and the Whiskey River Meatloaf. We upgraded one of our fries to Poutine to share. It was all so good. Hubby said it was the best meatloaf he’s ever had. We can’t wait to go back to try some of the other dishes. We would absolutely recommend this restaurant for the food, service and atmosphere. 5 stars from us.More

A1, couldn't fault the food and service and surroundings. All home made quality food and value for money. Also you can park outside for free for 2 hours which is a plus in Bournemouth. So good we plan to go again.

First time visiting Moose Kitchen, absolutely blown away! Less than a 10 minute walk from the beach, perfect location, the interior design is a perfect vibe for music lovers, framed art, band memorabilia, playlist was awesome, each song flooded my mind with memories! The restaurant...has a lovely indoor patio area for customers, where the bifold doors were fully opened which made us feel we were dining alfresco. We were greeted and served by Kay, friendly and engaging, and definitely makes sure you enjoy your time there, nothing was too much for her, amazing service! I ordered the Roast Beef Dip.. Hot roast beef stacked on a garlic baguette, with a bowl of beef & red wine jus for dipping, served with homemade slaw and skin on fries. Wow, just wow, the beef was so succulent and fries cooked to perfection, but that beef & red wine jus was absolutely DELICIOUS ! We had the pleasure of meeting the head chef Sara, so professional and passionate about what she serves! You can see the love and hard work they have put into this wonderful restaurant, our visit to Moose Kitchen was honestly the highlight of our day trip to Bournemouth. Thank you both!!More

What a find this was! Looking for a non chain restaurant whilst spending a weekend in Bournemouth chanced upon this place on here. We were not disappointed! We had an early booking ( 6.30pm ) changed from a later evening one but by text exchange...which was really personal and helpful. I was a little worried that it was too early on a Friday evening to have any atmosphere but although a little sparse in diners at that time the hospitality from the owners ( and a friend helping out that evening ) more than made up for it! Also - the food was absolutely amazing! Huge portions, really tasty and not fussy which was a welcome change. Didn’t take any photos as devoured it all too quickly!!! Cannot recommend highly enough for somewhere a bit different amongst all the usual chains!! If we come back to Bournemouth we’ll definitely be heading back !!More

Visited with a group of friends. The service was outstanding. We felt so welcome and looked after. The poutine and meatloaf were loved by our group. Unfortunately, the three of us who ordered burgers were left disappointed, especially as they weren’t cheap (£18 each). I...ordered the garlic mushroom burger which was recommended but I wouldn’t have guessed it contained any of the ingredients listed in the menu. The patty was too thick, lacking flavour and on the dry side. We had a lovely time, I would have just rather ordered something else.More

It’s good food it just isn’t very… Canadian. No Nova Scotia lobster roll (there is a seafood chowder but that’s a New England dish), no Québécois butter tarts or pea and ham soup. No nanaimo bars, not even pierogies, the pride of the prairies (I...know, I know, they’re Polish and there’s a burger with pierogi, bizarrely), not even a Blueberry grunt. Yep, there’s poutine and there’s maple syrup, but nachos (Mexican), Philly (PHILLY) cheese steaks, KEY LIME (Florida!) and MISSISSIPPI mud pie…. They’re not Canadian. I had high hopes of finding food that I miss from home. I found none of that here. Adding poutine to the menu is not enough to call yourself a ‘Canadian’ eatery.More
