Chickaros Bournemouth

Walk into Chickaros and you're stepping into the sort of place that doesn't need to try too hard—the food speaks for itself. You're looking at a proper bar and grill setup that does flame-cooked meat the right way, with a drinks menu that actually makes you want to linger. It's the kind of spot where you can rock up for a casual midweek dinner or make an evening of it with cocktails, and either way, you'll feel like you're in on something good. The Holdenhurst Road location gives it an unpretentious neighbourhood feel rather than the polished, generic vibe of chain restaurants elsewhere in town.
