Ordered a fair few dishes but the aubergine didn’t jump out on paper over some of the others we ordered. the octopus was one of best dishes I have eaten in Bristol though. we also didn’t order any desert as the wife has no sweet tooth so we often skip it and just get a couple extra dishes earlier in meal I do like a desert tho so will save space for it next time Agree on the pulpo. Make sure you try the aubergine next time. Are you going Sprints next week? Should meet for a cider! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes going with 3 mates will come and say hello if I see you in there before the set starts gonna check out that Detroit style pizza place upstairs in renatos before the gig think they used to do it out of a hatch in the orchard years back. Never had it but heard good things and a bit different to all the other sourdough stuff most places are doing these days (although no complaints with sourdough pizzas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Finally made it to Bank for a Sunday Roast , absolutely top notch . If I was being picky , Bianchi's roast potatoes are better but over all the best I've had in a long, long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambodinho Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Went to pasture for a roast yesterday. Was thoroughly enjoyable. Scotty Murray walked in with a lady friend not long after us. Looked as if he was keeping an eye on the Liverpool game as was on his phone half the time 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whale Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Looking for a restaurant for my fiancées Birthday and am thinking that seafood is the way to go. Noah's and Spiny Lobster seem to be the two big hitters from this thread. Anyone have any strong thoughts on which one to go for or if there's another option I've missed?

petehinton Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Not the biggest fan of Lounges, but think this is a real positive for the harbourside, decent food, somewhere actually dog friendly for a huge dog walking area, and will be a brilliant view for a breakfast/lunch/evening bite at the very least. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/bristol-restaurant-chain-lounges-could-9214332?fbclid=IwAR2NNatwOB4iA55ahv7GWHM-8ilL5TNr9SxQWA3NN3A2mQ1tct82678Sfko_aem_ASkPgpmHecmpq2RHfYXHGQksVCTlHFsvotESzkV32RnbRtz6zsBIImS9vF_-SvRGZzQ#lusq5tyjnjz6j4i7k3n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking to a mate that works for them and they'll have nearly 300 sites by the end of the year.

The one they had in Cardiff covered in portraits of Mussolini was also very odd. Apparently they get all their furnishings or did from a warehouse in Romania. If Wetherspoons did a lounge... It's a shame what's along that stretch of the harbour side. Just all a bit meh... Imo...it would suit smaller buildings, that could be let to non chain like establishments. You could easily double what's there with smaller units. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Lounge's do a decent job, really don't mind them. Quite looking forward to seeing what they do with that work going on on Welsh Back by the Hole in the Wall. Supposed to be a food court of sorts with pop up restaurants and bars. Always thought Bristol could do with something a bit like Freight Island in Manchester, not that there is much space for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Talk about build it and they will come. When the Fishponds Lounge "Porto" was in the smaller site by the park , we could get in a lit more often than now, usually rammed. The food and service is usually good. I would say the bigger building isn't so great for acoustics , you can struggle with conversations at times . The big one in Keynsham hasn't got the same homely feel as the smaller ones do and loses something from the experience. Be interesting to see what happens with the Harbourside site.
