Bristol Restaurant Guide

Bordeaux Quay

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.

• Address: V-Shed Canons Way, Bristol, BS1 5UH (Map)
• Cuisine(s): British UK
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £38.00

Boston Tea Party

If you are looking for a café that is different, this is the place for you. Arguably the best cuppa in town, you may have to fall over the odd recuperating student to find a seat, but for good choice, well-brewed and in reasonably quiet surroundings Boston Tea Party takes some beating.

• Address: 75 Park Street, Bristol, BS1 5PF (Map)
• Cuisine(s): British UK
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £20.00

Brunel Raj

It's not often that you find an Indian restaurant pinning its advertising to one item on the menu, but at the Brunel Raj they are big on the special King prawns, and closer inspection reveals that they are not wrong.

• Address: 7 Waterloo Street, Bristol, BS8 4BT (Map)
• Cuisine(s): Bangladeshi, Indian
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £18.00, Dinner: £23.00

Budokan - City

For those who may think they are becoming jaded with regular trips to some of our well-loved and adopted cuisines, an outing to Budokan could well provide the answer. Describing itself as Asian, Budokan probes the culinary aspirations of Indonesia, China, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, to name but some, and the result is a balance of flavours, nutrition and value that is challenging in itself.

• Address: 31 Colston Street, Bristol, BS1 5AP (Map)
• Cuisine(s): Asian
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £24.00

Budokan - Clifton

Byzantium

There is little doubt that Byzantium has added a new dimension to eating out in Bristol. Operating over two levels the tone is set as you exchange a damp Bristol evening for the ground floor, rich with exotica of the East and a touch of colonial North Africa thrown in for good measure.

• Address: 2 Portwall Lane, Bristol, BS1 6NB (Map)
• Cuisine(s): French, Mediterranean
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £39.00

Cafe Rouge - Bristol

Café Rouge has around one hundred branches throughout Britain all offering a wide range of dishes drawn from the French cuisine. Slightly less than half their branches are in or close to London.
