I must admit, I loathe crispy chips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club and Country Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Went to Radius @ Pasture on the weekend In terms of value it's right up there for me, sometimes you can leave these tasting menus hungrier then when you went in, this certainly wasn't the case here , infact only gripe would be it was too much food service was absolutely spot on, would highly recommend 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's over rated (in my view) had better steak, service and ambiance in other steak restaurants in and out of Bristol Grossly overpriced for what you get Having said that, hope you enjoy your meal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I went I thought it was comfortably Michelin * quality. It wasn't even just the steak, the cured trout starter and chocolate bomb dessert were exquisite. Out of interest which are better? I've been Cow & Sow, Ox, and Mugshot off the top of my head, and none are better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough mate, guess it's all down to personal taste I've been to cow and sow and Buenesada recently and I thought both were better, in terms of food and value ( maybe it's just me though!)

I’ve heard various different reviews - has anyone been there? If it's the one I am thinking of, close to the bus station, I went there two or three years ago. It looks pretty uninspiring from the outside, and inside was not much better to be honest, but the food was very good indeed and very reasonably priced. In addition, there were quite a few Chinese people eating there, which is usually a good sign. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’ve seen it from outside with the shutters down, not inspiring as you say but reviews have been pretty good regarding the food. I doubt any of us would too bothered about the decor tho. It’ll be an interesting evening whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not short of a bob or two, will spend a fortune at ' classy' restaurants etc...but he goes for the food on offer. Like you say uninspiring inside and out. But food is great and lots of Chinese travel to eat there. Every time he's recommended, I've never been disappointed. Enjoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDarwall Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 I'm sure I read an article a few years back when Bristol chefs were saying where they like to eat & the Mayflower was consistently mentioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambodinho Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Remarkable places to Eat, the Christmas, Bristol episode was on tv last night. Can be found on the iplayer. This was the episode that helped make littleFrench nearly impossible to get into on a weekend Fred Siriex and Michel Roux waxed lyrical about it. Never heard of aligot before watching that but have had it a few times in there and it’s fantastic. As is their chocolate mouse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
