Coincidentally I had a glass of Picpoul with my oysters at Noahs - L'Abeille One of our wines that one, The Bee. Picpoul is known for its 'sting', hence the name. Lovely drop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This acidity is why the wine is known locally as the ‘Lip Stinger’. Picpoul de Pinet is not only splendid with seafood and shellfish but also traditional Mediterranean dishes, cheese and chocolate.

nebristolred Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 (edited) Oowee is great for a dirty burger (the vegan ones are ****ing great) but top 6 restaurant in Bristol? Really?

Robbored Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 (edited) Had lunch today at Mowli’s in Corn street. As Indian food goes it was acceptable but lacked any ‘wow’ factor in any of dishes we tried. It advertises itself as ‘street food’ but as it was all prepared in a kitchen that’s not a fair description. I don’t think we’ll be revisiting again.

nebristolred Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 (edited) In true fashion of disagreeing with literally everything Robbored says, I actually went to Mowgli the other night and it was really good! Some of the best starters I've ever had at an Indian restaurant and some interesting different choices there too - none of your usual Korma's and the like. The idea of an Indian bunnychow is a really good one. Can't believe the food was cooked in a kitchen though, false advertising that Edited February 23 by nebristolred 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 https://www.bristol247.com/food-and-drink/news-food-and-drink/ramen-restaurant-tonkotsu-open-first-bristol-branch/ I totally missed this, but amazing to see Tonkotsu opening so centrally. Ramen is probably my favourite food, and the ones I’ve been to in London have been great, so am buzzing about this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to get good reviews and I fancy a trip back to a bit of Bristol where I spent most of the nineties. Yes.

I have to say my steak was good, not great , but everything else was really good. Everyone enjoyed themselves and it says something that the person that chose the restaurant , as it was he birthday , is a vegetarian . I will go back and give it another go though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Not sure if it’s been mentioned here before but if you like a Sunday roast the Rose and Crown in Pucklechurch is superb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 New one today. Went to The Journey in Easton. Superb Tibetan cuisine and chef. It’s where Swagatam used to be. What a place that was. Didn't realise it closed down, but the lady who part-owns The Journey said they shut due to juggling family commitments with running the restaurant. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's next on the list for us, so glad to hear you had a good one. There are some decent places down that road - the Thali has some great midweek deals and the Garden of Easton is a lovely place to be in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
