Noa Japanese Restaurant marks another step forward in Bristol's quest to bring world flavours to local diners and what better place to do it than at this beautiful shopping quarter called Clifton Village. The interior is refined in its appeal with attractive screens, fabrics and shipskin lamps.

The kitchen's fascination with flavours and innovative techniques shows up in dishes such as butter-soft beef tataki with miso and jalapeño, but sushi and sashimi are real winners here. Nobu-style dishes are real value for money and seafood delicacies embrace choices like octopus, red bream, sea bass and eel. If you'd prefer to take the safe route, select from a range of cooked fish like salmon teriyaki or sea-salted grilled mackerel. A mint milk pannacotta or yuzu sorbet for dessert is another expression of ambitious cooking at Noa.
