The cuisine here is multinational, with an Indian dish or two, Chinese and Italian plus a couple of French dishes. There is a pleasant selection of desserts and crepes. The three house red wines are priced extortionatly at $5.95 for the least expensive. (I don't have a pound symbol on this PC). Entrees begin at 7.95. So no one is going to get a budget meal or drink here. The food, however, is excellently cooked and presented, and quite delicious. The space is beautifully decorated with a theme of local black and white photos with blue and yellow paint for added effect. These are enormous and suspended from the ceiling as well as on big walls. The windows overlook part of the Marina and there are views of Brownsea Island. Try it, it's worth it. But it may not become a regular haunt unless you're fairly loaded.

Go easy on these two! The pub is not huge but can attract some of the more interesting people from the area and by that I mean interesting, this is a great place for a conversation with a stranger. Never miss the chance to visit here whenever we are out in Westbourne.

There is some street parking nearby though. The Cow has one Michelin star! Quite a coup! The chef has done wonders and together with the new owner has turned this place around - and I love the name too! The menu is locally sourced and they use seasonal vegetables and products. It's going to be hard to keep me away from here for too long!

We ate as a large group on a Friday evening when the pub was generally full of people on nights out. As a place to eat I would suggest that the cow is better placed as somewhere for lunch, not dinner and especially not dinner on a Friday night. My starter of black pudding with bubble and squeak bacon and a poached egg was delicious. However my main course of fish pie was poorly presented and the accompanying vegetables were soft and the portion was small. The pie itself was tasty but the whole experience was let down by the poor presentation. The meals of others in my party looked good, especially burgers and steaks - if I go back I'll be sticking to those.

Hidden inside a cathedral, the restaurant really has a unique design to it.

The food was gourmet but not entirely to my taste. The fish cake my father had was really good as well as the chocolate brownie/cake dessert my mum had was exquisite. The one thing that did bother us was the lack of ventilation which made the open plan kitchen a little unsuited for this kind of spacing. So the whole night we did have the smoky smell accompany us, and made sure it infused into our clothing after we left.

A high arched ceiling and red brick walls offer an impressive backdrop to some excellent cooking. The food is modern and well presented. Each of the starters and mains have a selected list of accompanying sides. Two sides are included in the menu price and I agree with the concept that too many different tastes can obscure the food. I had pea and ham soup with bread and blue cheese which was excellent. Similar to my mother's own recipe and given piquancy with the blue cheese. This was followed by buck breast with a star anise jus and home made chips and a portobello mushroom. The service was also excellent, if I'm honest we kept the staff waiting far too long after dinner and yet there was no hint that they wanted us to move on. All in all an outstanding experience. Not cheap but not expensive, well presented with courteous and friendly staff. I'd highly recommend it.
