Curtis & Bell
Those with a sweet tooth are being spoilt in Bristol at the moment, with Curtis & Bell’s French-style patisserie following swiftly in the footsteps of Zara’s Chocolates just a few doors away on North Street and Ahh Toots in St Nicks Market.
If ever what a business offered was made for Instagram, it’s this. Although it’s amazing that the beautiful looking tarts, macarons and parfaits have remained uneaten long enough to be photographed.

is needed now More than ever
A new decking area has been created outside since this was Cafe Sazz, but the inside is disappointingly bland – the plain white walls and long white counter in no way being a reliable indication of the treats lurking within.
All the food is made on the premises. There are butter crepes with butterscotch apples (£4.25) and toasted brioche with fruit compote (£3.95) among the breakfast options served from 8am, savoury brioche sandwiches sandwiches for lunch, and parfaits (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or banana) for £4.75.
From 6pm, you can choose a classic French cheese, charcuterie or Gallic cassoulet, all served with a glass of wine.
In a rush to get to a meeting on the other side of town, I had two Madeleines for £1.30, soft and fluffy with that just-got-out-of-the-oven smell – a real taste of France in the heart of Bedminster.
