About

Found just a few minutes walk from Bournemouth Pier, 1805 is a stylish contemporary Chinese restaurant. Comprising of a main dining room, a cocktail lounge and an outdoor terrace, 1805 is an expansive venue, catering to everyone from couples on date night to large family gatherings.

The dining room at 1805 taps into the aesthetic of modern Asian restaurants, featuring neutral wood tones, clean lines and contrasting textures (the bar is made from stone). Hanging pendant lighting and shelves lined with Chinese trinkets give 1805 some character, while a long bar on one side of the room is well stocked with wines from around the globe and Japanese sake. The bar team can also whip up a range of signature cocktails, such as a Lychee Martini and a Singapore Sling, while those who are staying away from the booze can order off of the tea menu, which features premier Chinese teas scented with Jasmine and Chrysanthemum.

When it comes to the food at 1805, you can expect to tuck into an array of dishes that can be shared or enjoyed on their own. Kick-start your meal with appetisers such as crispy duck with pancakes, chicken skewers rubbed with satay sauce, or deep-fried aubergine with Sakura salad. For your main courses, you can choose from a mix of meat and seafood dishes, such as beef fillet in a spicy stock or steamed sea bass in black bean sauce with ginger and spring onion. Those looking to splash the cash meanwhile, can tuck into the decadent likes of Japanese wagyu beef or roasted duck in a black truffle sauce, from 1805’s Supreme sectio on its menu.

If you are on a budget, visit at lunchtime to make the most of 1805’s set lunch menu, where you can enjoy two courses for less than £15 per person.

The best in the area

A much more refined, and extensive menu (there's one just for the Dim Sum), and atmosphere than your average Chinese retaurant. The lunchtime menu is good value.

Whilst Bournemouth and Poole have several good Chinese restaurants, 1805 -named after the year the first Chinese became a British citizen- is certainly the best we've tried.
