Bordeaux Quay Description

Without being over-dramatic it is probably fair to say that what is happening at this quay, where barrels of Claret and Sauternes used to be unloaded after their journey from the vineyards of Aquitaine, is one of the most exciting developments in our attitude towards the food and drink we consume.

Founded by Barny Haughton, one of the unsung heroes of the organic movement, and John Pontin, OBE, a property developer and advocate of environmental thinking, the idea is to make the whole complex environmentally sustainable.

A restaurant and a brasserie are important parts of the enterprise, which also contains a bar, deli, bakery and cookery school.

Both spaces make the best use of natural lighting and ventilation, with natural materials used throughout. The menu in the restaurant changes daily and an autumn menu would include cep and mushroom soup, rump of summer lamb with tomato and spinach tart, roast summer squash and basil, followed by lemon, almond and polenta cake with marscapone.

In the brasserie fare could range from huevos a la Flamenca for breakfast, Provencale fish soup with rouille croutons and gruyere for lunch, and steak tartar for dinner.

Amongst the fascinating range of beers, lagers and ciders is Old Rosie, from Westons, weighing in at 7.3%. As I write someone is telling me he drank six pints of the stuff before realising he was unable to mount his bicycle - frankly I don't believe him.

Fixed Dinner

Your Reviews of Bordeaux Quay

Julie, Stoke Bishop (2 April 2009)

I am suprised at the previous review. I have eaten at Bordeaux Quay on numerous occasions and have always been delighted by the experience.

The setting and ambience of the place is superb. The excellent quality of the basic ingredients ensures it doesn't need to be over 'engineered', which leaves the real taste of the food to be appreciated.

If you like imaginative but honest food try it out.

Richard, Clifton (4 March 2009)

Having recently moved to Bristol, I read about this 'famous' and 'ethically run' restaurant. I spend over 200 nights a year in hotels around the world due to my job. Consequently, I eat out more than the average person. This restaurant will be one I will avoid in the future - the food, the service and the value are the worst I have experienced anywhere ever. My recommendation - avoid it!

  • Nando's - Bristol, Park StreetNando's - Bristol, Park Street With quality food, friendly staff, quick service and excellent value for money, Nando's is a great place to eat. Don't expect identikit, pre-fab restaurant interiors which are usually a staple of the larger chains; each restaurant is tailored to its local surroundings and customers, offering up a unique restaurant experience to go with the equally unique taste of legendary, Portuguese, Peri-Peri chicken.
