    This was my first visit to Lola's Tapas bar, and it didn't disappoint! Lots of fabulous dishes to choose from, and they also have a vegan range. Everything was very authentic and really tasty, and the staff are lovely and friendly as well. I'd definitely recommend a visit, just make sure you're hungry as you'll have difficulty choosing from the vast array of wonderful food. I forgot to take pictures of everything we had as we just got so engrossed in the food, but here's a few I remembered.

    Fantastic place in Bournemouth, if you're in the mood for some good tapas then this is a place for you. Visited Lolas for dinner and from the start we were made feel welcome and upon getting the bill we got some lovely drinks. Would come back again in the future

    Don’t miss out… We visited Lola’s recently on a quick jaunt to Bournemouth over the Christmas/New Year break. What an amazing place. The food was authentic and very tasty and Meghan looked after us so very well. This is a must if you happen to be in the vacinity, you will not be disappointed. We look forward to our next visit.

    Service was painfully slow. The waitress had to come back 3 times to get my order, for the first time she didn’t have anything to write it down the second time she didn’t understand. Anyway I never received my latte (the item that was so hard to order). But of course it was on the bill in the end. Ridiculous. But at least the food was good that’s the only reason they get 3 stars instead of 1.

    We visited this place last night for the first time for my birthday. Customer service is so nice and very helpful! It's yummy! I was hoping for desert; however, I didn't have enough space in my stomach:) but will try desert next time for sure:)

    Oh wow, the food here was incredible. We had a great evening. Thanks to chef and staff. So much choice, but everything we had taste great. Best meal of our weekend by a country mile.

    Had a team dinner here (12 of us). Food was brought out as and when it was ready, which felt really authentic for Spanish cuisine. Food was delicious with plenty of options and a full vegan / vegetarian menu. A small kind setting in itself but felt there was a bit of hustle and bustle which was good. Perfect for a date or as a bigger party. Great drinks menu too!

    We were visiting Bournemouth to celebrate our 11th Anniversary and so wanted to find a restaurant that was a bit different and not like all the chain restaurants to make it feel more special. The reviews were not wrong and so glad we chose Lolas! A cosy restaurant but with great heart. The staff were extremely welcoming and very helpful in providing recommendations and explaining the menu options. I have to follow a Gluten free diet and was very happy with the menu layout with clear symbols for the different allergens, and plenty of choices which was refreshing to be able to choose from an array of amazing dishes. The food was just amazing (the Inferno Chorizo with its sauce is lush) and the service was quick and attentive. We had 6 dishes between 2 which was probably the upper limit of what you'd want for 2 (just wanted to try so much) and a couple of puddings we shared (well and truly stuffed). Thanks to the staff who made our anniversary that bit more special, it is always great to be able to just relax and enjoy food but when you have a great team of staff it is surprising how it can elevate the experience. I would not hesitate to go here again the next time we are in Bournemouth, in fact I need to make an excuse now just to go there as soon as.

    Amazing food! Dish of the night ……patatas feira closely followed by the prawns although we finished every single plate. Service from Alex was exceptional, attentive but not intrusive. Just under £100 for 2 of us with wine, dessert and service, great value for money.

    Excellent food 🤩 very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The sangria is so refreshing & the La Vina de San Sevastián cheesecake is perfect! Highly recommend!!

    The place is small but cozy. Our night was busy with customers and we managed to give our table back after 2 hours as was agreed. The food was well cooked and tasty. Recommend it if you are looking for authentic Spanish food.

    This place never disappoints! It is as amazing as it ever was (I have been coming here, sporadically for the last 8 years) and the quality and service is as good as it ever was. The food, although more expensive now (where isn't?) was up to its usual high standard. But Alex, our waiter, transformed the service experience. So friendly and caring, and nothing seem to be too much trouble for him. Even when we left, facing huge downpours of rain, he welcomed us back and we enjoyed 'one for the road'. A great experience, and Alex had a major contribution to a wonderful late lunch there. Thank you Lolas - you're are as great as ever, and thank you Alex for your kind consideration.

    Great tapas find in a good location at the top of the town. We stopped for lunch and it was delicious as was the sangria. Only downer was it could do with a spruce up in the decorative sense.

    Incredible food at Lola's, for quite a reasonable price too. They treated us wonderfully for our wedding anniversary. Really nice atmosphere in there, it felt very personal.

    Lovely little independent restaurant in the Triangle area of Bournemouth. Authentic tapas at excellent prices. Croquettes are the best I've had outside Spain, crunchy coated melt in the mouth gorgeousness. Service is first class, so warm and friendly. Vibrant decor with comfy well spaced tables. Free Lolita shots with the bill! I highly recommend this place.

    Best place to eat in Bournemouth. Hands down. The food is exceptional, the ambiance is amazing, so authentic Spanish with lovely decor and a great vibe. The service was very friendly and professional. Lovely wine to accompany the tapas. The chorizo is a must try & the fried Sardines were delicious. Will be coming back here time and time again. Best book in advance as it fills up fast.

    The food was so good (especially the potatoes and the sardines) that we went again, on the second night of our stay! And I was too busy enjoying it, to remember to take photos of the rest of our order 🙈🙈🙈 Definitely visit here if you get a chance. It was amazing!
