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.

This restaurant exceeded our expectations which was tough given we’d already read its reviews. From a very passionate and friendly host to exceptional food, we will definitely be returning soon. My friend, who has enjoyed many a vegan/vegetarian meal in his life, said the burger...was easily the tastiest burger he’s tasted! I had the chicken, leek and tarragon pie with a side of the truffled triple cooked chips 🤤 Simply delicious!More

What an amazing restaurant! We had heard that Twelve Eatery was worth visiting but I was sceptical about an all-vegan menu. How wrong I was! A fantastic evening from start to finish. Delicious cocktails to start followed by the highly rated pan seared king oyster...'scallops'. For our main meals we had the Mediterranean raw lasagna which is served cold but has incredible flavours and the roast 'chicken pie' with seasonal vegetables. For dessert, it was a no-brainer to go for the dulcet de leche cheese cake which lived up to the heady expectations we had read about in reviews. The experience was topped off with the chance to talk to co-founders Daulton and Greg who were incredibly generous with their time on a busy evening to chat with us about their journey and the amazing food. Thank you so much. We will be back!!More

We were in Bournemouth for the day and booked this on the spur of the moment. I’m so glad we did! This is a wonderful place - our host was charming, and also passionate and knowledgeable about the food and ethos here, and the food...was exceptional. Creative and innovative, and you can tell that every dish has been carefully developed and refined to create a varied and exciting menu which is packed with flavour and cooked with real flair and expertise. We enjoyed “scallops” and the burger and the Caesar salad and the “chicken” pie - everything was beautifully presented and delicious. We had a truly memorable meal and just wished we lived closer! But we will be back and cannot wait to try more of Twelve Eatery’s wonderful food. Thank you and respect to the team for what they are delivering here, and we look forward to a return visit soon!More

Absolutely brilliant. Great service from an excellent host and superb food. A real pleasure when the restaurant owner gives a lot of their time to discuss the food.

Well worth the 2 hour drive. The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. If you’re in Bournemouth and you don’t visit this amazing restaurant you’ll be missing out! Thank you Twelve, you were five stars and then so much more 👍👍👍

What a find! This place is exquisite. Everything from the interior, to the service to the food and drink is outstanding. We found Twelve Eatery online, and though we'd give it a go. We are glad we did! Extremely warm welcome and attentive and friendly...service from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The menu is varied and inventive and takes vegan cooking to another level. Everything good, honest fare without the additives and processed ingredients you often find in restaurant food. Great selections of drinks too...we especially enjoyed the homemade kombucha. It was great to chat with one of the owners who is clearly very passionate about what they do and was also able to offer us some great tips of things to do in the local area. We don't live locally, but we will definitely come back to this great place.More

Recently went to Twelve with a friend and oh my, the food was exquisite! The two owners, prepared made from scratch food, they both served, chatted to customers, advised. They knew their stuff! I have never tasted anything quite like it. Whether you are vegan...or not (we are not) , GO! You will not regret itMore

Amazing evening recently at Twelve. A large group of us went there for a work celebration. Everyone loved their food (we covered much of the menu in our choices!) and we all can’t wait to go back!

We managed to get a table at short notice on a Saturday. Reviews looked good and while we prefer vegan and vegetarian food I didn’t realise it’s a vegan only place. The food was truly amazing. The choice of drinks too. All vegan and organic,...nutrient rich(as they explained to us)and most importantly just delicious. The owners are very nice and helpful, the atmosphere very pleasant and other diners were all nice and friendly too. An excellent choice for anyone wanting to try something a little different and truly delicious.More

Been vegan for 7 years and best meal I have ever had. Highly recommend lasagne and cheesecake. My wife is not vegan and she loved it too!

I hadn't been to Twelve in ages but we chose it for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Dalton is so passionate about this restaurant and it's lovely to see. This matches any London high end restaurant for its standard and its creativity. Cannot fault...anything. Sauvignon Blanc was also extra tasty! I had the camembert followed by tofu teryaki, my husband had the scallops then battered tofu (& then cheesecake!). All amazing. Great service. So lucky to have this gem in Bournemouth and need to return quickly!More

It is an amazing vegan dinner experience. It is not easy to find a right word to describe the taste of foods. We have a great reason to visit Bournemounth when we come back to UK from Turkey.
