Housed in a former warehouse, Arnolfini has gradually become one of the more recognisable landmarks in Bristol's harbour side area. The building is home to a variety of live dance and music performances, literary readings and architecture and design lectures; thereby attracting a suitably arty crowd.

The newly refurbished café is vibrant with a strong Italian theme with the bar area decked up in splashes of red, white and yellow; so pop over for a mid-morning coffee or a pre-performance beer. A Mediterranean touch is evident in their dishes and the ingredients are locally sourced and seasonal. Food is served all day and evening in the café and there is outdoor seating for those who'd like a view of the quayside with cup of hot chocolate in one hand and Arthur Gravy's 'Time Well Spent' on the other.
