San Carlo - Bristol

Selected Restaurant

When one of the country's most respected and leading critics says that a restaurant in this group is 'the best Italian Restaurant outside London' it is time to take them seriously. Britain's love affair with Italian food is a cause célèbre of long standing and shows no signs of waning, so it is always welcome news when somewhere like San Carlo sets out to reach for the skies.

Bistro at Hotel du Vin - Bristol

Featured Restaurant

We hear a great deal about recycling these days - du Vin recycles attractive but un-loved buildings to restore real gems in the best tradition of British understated style. Compliment that with all that is best in the French bistro ethos, bars that reach out to please, and you have a setting that provides an inspirational background for people to meet, do business, get married, provide a base for golf or fishing, somewhere you can call your own for a private celebration, a spa or - most engagingly - a wine school that breaks the mould.

Browns Bar & Brasserie - Bristol

Featured Restaurant

The first Browns opened at Brighton in 1973 with one simple guiding belief, that classic food, well delivered in a stylish environment would be a recipe for success. The only thing that has changed since then is the number of Browns, now running at fourteen, of which six are in London, all prospering with the same theme.

A Cozinha

Those who enjoyed A Cozinha (the kitchen) when it was in the city centre are likely to enjoy it even more now that it is relocated in new premises in Alfred Place, Kingsdown. The elegant and charismatic Yvonne MacFarlane continues to produce the only real Portuguese food in Bristol, a cuisine that is lamentably undervalued in the view of this writer, though it is clear the inhabitants of Bristol know a good thing when they see it.
