“The guys at 1B Pitville on Cotham Hill do great coffee. They are super friendly and they’re making coffee with their heart.”
Gurt Wings
“Gurt Wings has been a long-time favourite of mine. I think they are improving and getting even better as they update their menu.”
Sonny Stores

“Sonny Stores in Southville has been another long-time favourite of mine. Before I moved away from Bedminster, I went there almost every week. It’s so good.”
Tomo No Ramen

“Now I live in Old Market, Tomo No Ramen is the place I go to most nowadays. They always have a special ramen and that is something that will surprise you all the time. Don’t go for the same menu every time.”
Nice Spice

“Nice Spice on Denmark Street does the most authentic Chinese food in Bristol in my opinion. The food they do is something you would get from China. Whenever I go there, the food just hits the right spot.”
Ji

“‘Ji’ simply means chicken and at Ji on Queen’s Road near the top of Park Street they do very authentic fried chicken, Taiwan street food style, and it’s really nice.”
