Salsa offers a great selection of tasty Spanish treats, served in a friendly, warm atmosphere. The waiters are bubbly, energetic and keen to ensure glasses stay topped up with Sangria! the perfect way to kick-start an evening out with friends and conveniently located across the road from Havana Wine Bar.

We love the Salsa Pick n Mix Platter which includes bbq ribs, chimichanga's, jalapeno poppers, filo wrapped prawns and chicken wings. The nachos, potato skins are also fab plus t
here's always a display of tempting desserts near the bar, highly recommend the white profiteroles.

Tuk Tuk Thai, Bournemouth

Tuk Tuk Thai
Thai Restaurant
250 Charminster Road, Bournemouth, BH8 9RR

The Tuk Tuk parked up on the pavement outside makes this restaurant hard to miss. This restaurant is pretty formal, an ideal location for a corporate meal or family occassion. Staff are attentive and full of smiles, dishes are flavoursome and tasty. A business lunch is available at lunchtime, prices start from £4.95 and you can bump-up your meal with a starter or starter selection platter for an extra few pounds.

Update 11/02/2013:
Tuk Tuk became Thai Basil a while back, decor has been spruced up and now features an abundance of Thai-style wooden tables, chairs and decorations - including a large Thai boat which separates the entrance lounge and the main dining area. Dishes are still of a fair standard and curries are packed full of meat, Thai Basil also offer a lunchtime special which comprises of a basic set menu featuring a selection of starters and curry mains, served with steamed rice.
