Barrs Court Red Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I found Graze a haunting disappointment. Grillstock, Lock Fyne and Georges for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Wilks is very good as is Juniper. Goldbrick isn't bad for the centre, Bordeaux Quay is ok too. Cowshed is good for steak lovers but value isn't great. Pony and Trap for real food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Anyone know any gems up glos road? A place I rarely venture to but looking to start Casa mexicana on the bottom of zetland road near the arches is immense. I think it was voted in top 5 Mexican places in the uk large portions, but cooked really well. I belive the cocktails are meant to be cracking also but ive always had a beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Casa mexicana on the bottom of zetland road near the arches is immense. I think it was voted in top 5 Mexican places in the uk large portions, but cooked really well. I belive the cocktails are meant to be cracking also but ive always had a beer It was in a Guardian award thing (second nationally IIRC) about ten years ago. It's pretty good but it's not moved on much since then. The Plantation was OK a few years ago for a bit of caribbean food. Juniper which I mentioned above is a short walk up Cotham Hill off the Gloucester Road. Robbo - I meant the one in Chew. It's exceptional food without the pretentiousness that usually accompanies a michelin star, and with very good prices too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Kookoo higher up the Glos Rd opposite the Queen Vic. Persian cookery at its best. BYO, but there's an offie a few doors down. The food in the Royal Oak is pretty good, too. Really, there's so many to choose from that it's a difficult job to sort out the best. At the other end of the scale, the International is good for basic British nosh, which is odd, considering it's run by Turks. It'd be like me opening a kebab house in Istanbul, but it does things like bubble and squeak and apple crumble that you simply don't get in other restaurants.

Cunnyfunt Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Casamia in W-O-T if you're lucky enough to get a table. Cotes brassiere in Clifton Village. Lal Jomi in Redland is a very good Indian restaurant. The Thai Garden on West Street, Bedminster I find really good. The Robin Hood (Gloucester rd) and the Kensington Arms (Redland) do really good Sunday roasts. Prego in Henleaze is a decent Italian. I've heard Turtle Bay on the centre is pretty decent but I've yet to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club and Country Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Been turtle bay a few times now Very good value I find. Service not always the best but has never really bothered me. 2 4 1 cocktails are a cracking deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Not somewhere flash but has anybody ever been to Atomic Burger on Glos Road? I've heard the burgers are unbelievable!! Went there a few weeks back. I'd go again, a good variety of burgers and you can customise/make your own. I recommend the 'Trailer Park Fires' on the side with an Oreo milkshake. It is a tad pricey though, but freshly prepared. A cheaper and similar alternative is The Hobgoblin Pub on Glos Road. Eaten in both and not really any difference, bar the novelty memorabilia around Atomic's interior. Both have a fatty burger challenge. Prosecco in Clifton Village is nice. Casa Mexicana (as mentioned). Enjoyed Graze Chophouse. Taj Brasserie in Winterbourne for best Indian food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bristol Born & Red Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Been in Tikka Flame (Millenium Sq) a couple of times...the food was lovely both times, had a steak in the Pony & Trap about 2 years ago, it was superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted October 20, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Blue Ginger in Whitchurch is really good Indian (Bengal) food, its a BYO, with no corkage charge. For a bit more ambience, they have opened a licensed place in Saltford, called Golden Moments, both places serve some not so familiar dishes and the family that run them are really friendly.

Very good indeed. I fancied a burger, and the decor nearly put me off. Glad it didn't - excellent burgers and really good bottomless cup of coffee.

Kid in the Riot Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Juniper which I mentioned above is a short walk up Cotham Hill off the Gloucester Road. I was a big fan of Juniper but a little disappointed on last visit. It's generally very good though and portions are generous. Wilks is different class though and well deserved on their recent Michelin star. Cherry Duck down on Welsh back is good. Coronation Cafe and The Old Bookshop are two good ones in Bemi. Fishers is a quality seafood place up in Clifton Village, much better than Loch Fyne whoever said that. I would avoid Goldbrick and Bordeaux Quay personally both overpriced and fairly average IMO. Has anyone been to Mehula, new Indian on Park St?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I would avoid Goldbrick and Bordeaux Quay personally both overpriced and fairly average IMO.Should have pointed out they do fairly regular offers if you follow them or are on the mailing list. Goldbrick in particular do a half price food night at short notice quite often.I've had much better than average food in both personally but your mileage may vary.

Drew Peacock Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Flinty Red, The Albion, Bird in Hand in Long Ashton, my current favourite is the Ethicurian at Wrington.

Drew Peacock Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I quite liked River Cottage Canteen on Whiteladies Rd, my partner has been to the Wallfish Bistro and said it was good. Prego is good as well and I would give a vote to Bordeaux Quay. There are a lot of good restaurants really.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
