Koh Thai Tapas brings a fun, sharing-style approach to Thai food right in the middle of Westbourne. Rather than one plate each, the idea is to order a spread of small dishes for the table, so everyone gets to sample the fragrant curries, stir-fries and street-food snacks the kitchen turns out.
The food and drink
Plates start at around £7 and are designed to be shared, which makes it easy to build a meal around whatever you fancy. There’s plenty for vegetarians and vegans, and the cocktail list is a genuine draw this is a place that fills up with a buzzy, evening-out atmosphere.
Where it is
Koh Thai sits among the independent shops and cafés of Westbourne village, an easy walk from Chines Coffee House if you’re making a day of the area. The village is a short hop from Bournemouth town centre and the seafront at Alum Chine.
Good to know
It’s popular with groups and gets busy at weekends, so book ahead for larger tables or a Friday or Saturday evening.
