Sea & Soul is a newly opened seafood and steak restaurant in the heart of Bournemouth town centre, at 53 Bourne Avenue. The business behind it, SC Sea & Soul Ltd, was set up in September 2025 and opened the restaurant's doors in January 2026, describing the venture as "a new beginning filled with warmth, flavour and love."
The food
The kitchen's focus is squarely on the sea: hand-selected seafood sits alongside beef and lamb steaks cooked to order, pitched as casual but elegant dining rather than a quick bite. As with any newly opened restaurant, the menu is still finding its shape, so it's worth checking current dishes before you visit.
Reception
For a restaurant only months old, Sea & Soul has built a keen following fast, early diners have left it a strong 4.7 out of 5 on OpenTable, and it picked up local press attention not long after opening.
Where it is and when to go
You'll find it on Bourne Avenue in the town centre, an easy walk from the Lower Gardens and the seafront. It's closed on Thursdays, with lunch and dinner sittings the rest of the week, check current times before setting out, since hours at newly opened restaurants can shift. Given the early buzz, it's worth booking ahead through OpenTable, especially at weekends.
