Opened again 3 weeks ago as they don’t have outdoor seating. Superb local steak, the best double-cooked chips you’ll ever have and a salivating cheesecake for dessert. I’m booked in on Friday. https://www.falconsteakhouse.com 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06stanleyj Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 If you fancy a Sunday lunch try The Lock Up in St George, just down from The Fire Engine pub, cracking bit of grub ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loslobos Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Steak house that hasnt been mentioned is the ox on corn Street. Havent been post lock down easing. But a couple of times previous and its always been top draw. Casamia for very special occasion. Check out the Cinnamon in keynsham. Very good if you have and friends or relatives that are vegan/vegi/intolerance to some foods and like a good curry. Dont panic they also do meat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Turnip Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Went to Root at Wapping Wharf at the weekend. Mainly vegatarian small plates (tapas style), with a couple of meet/fish dishes, but don't let that put you offf - superb food and nice location/views. Agree about Pasture and Little French - very good. And 7 Lucky Gods for the Korean Chicken alone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Pasture opposite St. Mary Redcliff. Casamia we were lucky enough to have the Chef's Table for the Tasting Menu for our Wedding Anniversary a few years ago - simply awesome. Flawless. The wine flight was amazing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice but I felt that the food had a slight twang to it. Not sure if it’s the oil they use or what. The guys behind squeezed have just opened a hot dog place in wapping wharf too I believe. I do love a good burger and have been to Burger Joint, Three Brothers, Asado, Squeezed, Atomic Burger, oowee, honest burgers, bronx burgers and burger theory. I stand by my opinion that Bronx (Clifton village) and Asado (colston street near the children’s hospital) are the most impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Burger, Hobgoblin & Three Brothers all up there though. I tried Bronx a month or so ago, it was terrible! The fries were unbelievably dry, I've never had fries like it & I thought the same about the burger bun. I don't like to write places off after 1 visit though, so will definitely give it ago again, might even pop down on the weekend. Asado really wasn't for me either! May have to put it back on the list as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Bang these on the list if you've not been... Pasture (city centre) - Steak/roast dinners Spitfire BBQ (city centre) - Meat platters etc Hobgoblin (Glos Rd) - Burgers/'dirty' fries Shadin (Staple Hill) - Indian food Matina (St Nics Market) - Middle Eastern wraps For Bath, there's a few again. But Capadoccia is a great Turkish restaurant. And Jars Mezze is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Nicks has been amazing for top quality street food for years, going back at least 15 years or so I’d say. Matina is top quality and fantastic value I’ll agree with that. The Caribbean lady there does the best Curry Goat in town, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off to Casamia in August. It better be good paying £180 up front for food before drinks. I heard Pete Sanchez's new place up in London is a bit style over substance so hope Casamia delivers on both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried not to look if I'm honest, it's a Michelin * restaurant so I've put faith in the fact they know what they're doing. The venue is spectacular, below the old General Hospital. As I understand it you receive 20 courses. There is one dining time per evening at 7pm, and you enter the restaurant at that time and are looked after for the rest of the evening. Apparently it's good fun - the service is excellent and they play loud music, unlike most pricey places to eat. It's an experience, so I guess it's not just about the food - though I am expecting big things! I've paid £50 for Michelin * food so for the price Casamia are charging I am expecting it to be bloody good. It's a once in a blue moon experience tho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say I guess you have to put your trust in them - but that's a lot of trust at that price! Let us know what it's like, definitely sounds like an experience.
