“Casa on Lower Guinea Street in Redcliffe is a fantastic high-end Italian restaurant. The food, drinks and service are flawless. The set menu is also a great affordable and exciting option for diners.”
Cotto

“Cotto is a quirky little restaurant, Italian again, with window seating overlooking St Stephen’s Street in the Old City if you fancy lone dining, friendly service, and a really simple and thought-provoking menu. They serve the best lasagna I have ever tasted and they also have live entertainment on occasions.”

“Based at Cargo in Wapping Wharf, Seven Lucky Gods is one of just many great eateries there. Japanese concept, simple small bites and quick. The chicken katsu curry arancini are a particular favourite of mine.”
Bank
Bank promises “contemporary fire cooking, made for sharing” – photo: Bank
“Bank in Totterdown is unsurprisingly in an old bank. Their amazing menu uses fresh and vibrant ingredients with plenty on offer for everyone. The cocktails here are also amazing.”
Three Brothers Burgers

“My go-to burger eatery in Bristol. In fact, Three Brothers on Welsh Back is the best burger eatery ever and somewhere I love taking my kids to. The freshly made burgers are cooked to perfection with so many great sides on offer. It’s an especially lovely place in the summer.”
