If you’re wandering around Bournemouth’s Triangle and fancy somewhere a bit special to eat, let me point you towards Twelve Eatery, a vegan restaurant that has been winning awards and hearts since the day it opened.
This isn’t just any plant-based spot either. Twelve has been ranked among the top vegan restaurants in the world, scooping up accolades such as TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best.
It’s a big claim, but one bite and you’ll understand why it’s earned such glowing reviews.
You’ll find it right opposite the library, with its pastel pink sign and bold golden letters standing out proudly on the street.
Inside, the interiors are polished yet playful – pink and blue chairs, emerald green banquettes, leafy plants, and golden touches.
It feels modern, stylish, and instantly welcoming, helped along by good music and a team that always greets you with a smile.
The menu is a celebration of flavour and creativity.
Starters are a great place to begin, and the plant-based seared scallops are a favourite among regulars.
Beautifully plated, they look like the real thing and come with garnishes that make the whole dish sing.
Sundays at Twelve are something of an event.
Their high-protein vegan roast is packed with crispy potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, colourful greens, and hearty mains, all tied together with rich gravy.
It’s a feast that leaves you both full and energised.
If you’re more of a burger lover, the B-Twelve Burger is the dish that keeps people coming back.
Think melty cheese, crisp lettuce, tomato, and gherkins inside a toasted bun, served with triple-cooked chips and crunchy coleslaw.
Dessert deserves its own moment. The Dulce de Leche Cheesecake is light and creamy, sprinkled with toasted coconut and biscuit crumb, finished with a little edible flower. It’s indulgent but never heavy.
And then there’s the bar – the UK’s first organic bar, no less. Every cocktail, beer, wine, and spirit is organic and completely free from refined sugar.
Pair that with their cold-pressed juices or organic coffee, and you’ve got drinks to match the care and creativity of the food.
Even the name Twelve has a story. The doors opened on December 12th, 2018, at precisely 12:00 PM, kicking off a 12-year vision.
It reflects harmony and completeness, with a nod to vitamin B12 – something they enrich their food with to keep it wholesome as well as delicious.
📍 You’ll find Twelve Eatery at 12 The Triangle, Bournemouth BH2 5RY.
They’re open every day from 12pm–9:30pm, wheelchair accessible, and dog-friendly too.
Whether you’re here for cocktails with friends, a Sunday roast with family, or a solo treat just for you, this award-winning spot makes plant-based dining feel exciting and memorable.
