Johns Cafe Bar

John's has been established for twenty five years, and is probably one of the few family run restaurants left in Bristol; they are open to the general public for Thai and South East Asian cuisine only on Friday and Saturday evenings and on Sundays for their legendary roast dinners.

They also offer the restaurant for private hire from Monday to Thursday, with full use of a HD projector and a five foot screen for corporate or movie events.

Their Thai menu offers starters such as curried seafood filo baskets, warm duck salad with crispy crackling and stir-fried mushrooms in a rich Northern Thai curried sauce. For mains, you could try the lamb fillet braised in fresh ginger, yogurt and cream; chicken breast, stir fried with cashews in a sweet and sour soy sauce or Malaysian seafood curry.

The desserts are traditionally English and include raspberry crème brûlée, iced white chocolate meringue cake or sticky toffee pudding.

The Sunday menu includes roast sirloin of beef, poached loin of pork with crackling, a New Orleans style seafood casserole and fresh asparagus, wild mushrooms, white wine, cognac and cream baked in filo pastry.

John's is a relaxed, kind of romantic place, where good food and good service is their aim, and they usually get there.
