Martina Gardeva (Bulgaria)<\/p><\/div>\n

My name is Martina Gardeva and I am a Bulgarian postgraduate in MSc Tourism Management and Marketing. One of my favourite things to do when I am travelling is to try the local cuisine and taste new recipes. I consider myself a huge food-lover and I am so happy that I have found such diverse places to eat and such delicious meals whilst studying here in Bournemouth. I am more than excited to share with you my top spots to try.<\/p>\n

Eat like an American<\/strong><\/p>\n

My absolutely favourite place for burgers in town is 7 Bone Burgers<\/a>. It has an authentic and casual atmosphere, its perfect for meeting up with friends and the food is simply amazing. For about \u00a310 a person, you get a nice well-done burger and a huge order of fries (you can choose between several types of loaded or seasoned fries). The staff are friendly and the food is served really fast\u2026it\u2019s definitely a must!<\/p>\n

Vamos a Mexico!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another type of cuisine I simply adore is Mexican \u2013 nachos, tacos, burritos\u2026.you name it! The places I\u2019ve tried so far and I can recommend are TexMex, which is a mixture of Texas and Mexican food, and of course the locals\u2019 favourite \u2013 Ojo Rojo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Authentic British experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am not personally a big fan of Shepard\u2019s pie, but this is definitely a real British meal. I like the full English breakfast though and my top place to go is Weatherspoon\u2019s<\/a> \u00a0in Lansdowne or Dylan\u2019s bar<\/a> at Talbot campus. If you seek a local experience, I would recommend Norwegian wood caf\u00e9<\/a> for jacket potatoes. Nando\u2019s<\/a> is another very good choice for lunch or dinner as the portions are big and are not very pricey\u2026the peri-peri chicken is my favourite!<\/p>\n

Something healthy<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my preferred healthy meals is sushi and my advice is to go to Yo!Sushi<\/a> as it has so many types of rolls and the atmosphere inside is quite lovely.<\/p>\n

Asian food<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Bournemouth, there are so many Asian places \u2013 Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese\u2026you name it, the town has it! I\u2019ve tried Miso Miso<\/a> which is right by Talbot campus and Bombay Palace<\/a>, but I am eager to check out more places.<\/p>\n

Something for the soul<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best place to go for an ice cream is Sprinkles Gelato<\/a>! It has many flavours, students get discounts and the ice cream is very tasty. I\u2019ve also been to Gigi Gelateria<\/a> and I really enjoyed the YOBU Frozen Yogurt.<\/p>\n

Some honourable mentions are also the T.G.I. Fridays<\/a> and the Urban Reef<\/a> restaurants. It is comfy, the staff are nice and the food amazing. Another piece of advice I would offer is to use food-apps like Deliveroo and JustEat \u2013 it\u2019s not only easy to get a meal delivered to your house, but is also a good option to explore what\u2019s around you! \u00a0Whatever your favourite type of food is, my bet is Bournemouth has it!<\/p>\n
