I popped into Cor for a midweek lunch the other day , was very nice. As it was only lunch we didn’t go massive on order like we prob would have in evening. I didn’t have a desert either but have latterly heard they are awesome sure both options will be good , and whichever one you pick you can keep the other in pocket for next time ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamalagerdrinker Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Is Urban Tandoor worth a visit? I went to Old India last time I visited and that was outstanding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Probably not ranked in any list of Bristol’s best restaurants, but has anybody on here tried either the Mezze restaurant in Downend (formerly The Green Dragon) or The Grapevine in Mangotsfield? If so, any comments, favourable or otherwise? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see how it stacks up against the a la carte. I needn't have worried, it was top drawer as usual & great value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna try and go next couple of weeks. Not surprised re: the desserts. Mark's goxua (a basque tradition) he did at Gambas was bloody lush, must have had it half a dozen times over the years!

Haven't been in a while but I heard the chef there left and it's supposedly not as good these days, but could be nonsense. Have heard good things about The Grapevine but yet to eat there myself.

Selection of cured meats, oyster, scallop, cannellini beans with a beure blanc, wild sea bass, a "Bristol 75" cocktail and the desserts were all highlights. I had cuttlefish as a main as I'd never had it before, interesting and not unlikeable but I'd probably choose something different next time. Went to The Mint Room for the first time in years too. Still very good, but my god the service was slooooooow. Maybe let them off given the time of year and large parties, but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Souk Kitchen last night, which was excellent as always. Got me thinking why they've never been Michelin-listed? Easily on a par with others listed.

Same opinion on the cuttlefish, luckily we found the other dishes so good it didn’t matter (the cannellini beans in particular) on souk kitchen agreed, an absolutely banging restaurant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
