Stokes Croft restaurant named one of Sunday Times critic’s best 100 in UK
A restaurant open for just over a year has been included in a list of the best 100 places to eat out in the UK compiled by the restaurant critics of The Times and The Sunday Times.
Jamaica Street Stores just off Stokes Croft was chosen by Sunday Times critic Marina O’Loughlin.
“There are more ambitious restaurants in Bristol (Bellita, Wilson’s and Bell’s Diner were all close to making the cut), but my heart belongs to this rackety beauty,” wrote O’Loughlin, who was previously restaurant critic of Metro and The Guardian.

Jamaica Street Stores was formerly a screen printing studio
“A former screen printing works with huge industrial windows, it’s dressed inside with exuberant art, restrained neon and a greenhouse of plant life.
“The menu is what I’d call ‘Bristol eclectic’: lots of vegetable-based dishes without any vegetable fascism, an evident delight in the world’s spice cabinet, all seasoned with a joyous burst of levity and fun – pumpkin hummus, maybe, with homemade crisps or the almost-Korean fried chicken with kimchi mayo.”
O’Loughlin added that Jamaica Street Stores is “ineffably cool, but with none of the attendant attitude”.
