Mille

I am not all that familiar with Bournemouth and rely on my friends leading the way. They live in a quiet suburb which does not offer that much choice, especially not in nice restaurants. The high street is dominated by charity outlets and pound shops. Not a Starbucks in sight — a nice change!
In keeping with this almost old-​fashioned high street feel, Mille operates on a BYO basis during the week. Apparently they do sell alcohol at the weekend.
Mille is a real find and was quite busy even on a Monday night.
All the dishes sound and look delicious, but in this occasion we all went for pizza. They are the real thing, crispy base and fresh toppings.
If I lived nearby I would come here all the time — my friends are, and it is extra special to receive such a personal welcome, almost like visiting a friend.
