Brunch and Barista
"Embodying the ambiance of the quirky Triangle area, Flirt Café and Bar is a regular hang out for the more trendy members of the community. This big-personality eatery does nothing in small doses and makes its presence known with loud interiors and an eccentric menu. With some of its specialties being bubble tea and Sexy OMG hot chocolate (made with Daim, Snickers, Ferrero Rocher – to name a few) the wacky retro, dog-friendly hot spot is not going anywhere fast and should definitely feature on your ‘brunch in Bournemouth’ bucket list."
"This is a big, busy space, with kitsch walls decorated with everything from vintage lamps to disembodied dolls' heads smoking cigarettes. Its massive menu is a little bewildering but essentially breaks down into a canteen-style counter of hot and cold dishes, and the usual cafe fare of soups, jacket spuds, sandwiches and, a Flirt speciality, topped waffles. My samples from the hot food were, like Flirt itself, a bit odd."
"La Lupa is the oldest Italian restaurant in Poole, open since 1978 on Poole Quay. Fresh seafood is delivered to the restaurant daily. Children are also very welcome in the family friendly environment."
