Great little place! Went here on Friday afternoon as a couple so not too busy but enough people in there for some atmosphere. Food was amazing, didnt know what we wanted but a very informative breakdown of the menu was given and we went for 6 small sharing plates. With pudding on top, left quite full and very happy. Couldnt find any faults at all and we look forward to returning. The whole ethos of the place is sharing so all dishes (apart from pudding) came out on 1 plate, a great item. This place is getting attention and deserves more.

Dinner at BANK is about surprising, inventive and seasonal food. Don’t worry about what to order as each dish is a little work of art with flavour combinations you won’t have had anywhere else. Despite this, BANK is not a pretentious ‘vibe’ restaurant lost up its own arse; it is relaxed and welcoming without being in your face. I’m normally a small plates skeptic, but I never leave disappointed here. Even my 80yo folks are fans. Deserves to be packed out all the time.

Went for dinner on Friday. Seriously impressed. Amazingly food, classy drinks, lovely space, very pleasant staff. Beautiful balance to the plates - intriguing flavour and texture combinations that really work and excite, all with a touch of fire about it. Satisfies the inner primeval (wo)man, but highly modern. At the moment plenty of availability too - go whilst you can!

We finally tried Bank for a Sunday roast after a lot of nudges from a friend, and it was amazing! I’ve had my fair share of roasts in Bristol, and I can honestly say this one was my absolute favourite. The best roast in Bristol IMO. The cauliflower cheese was unreal! I’m also a huge fan of Bloody Marys, the one I had at Bank was also my favourite! What a day!! The guy who looked after us was brilliant, and we can’t wait to come back again!

We’ve been to Bank on a number of occasions since opening and it’s always been good for cocktails and food. The times we had gone before, arguably some of the dishes could be deemed ‘experimental’ however still very good. We went Saturday (31st Aug) and the food was incredible! They’ve now nailed innovative dishes with balanced flavours and textures. I’m not surprised with the UK top 100 award it’s an awesome place!

BANK is our go-to Sunday roast restaurant. After embarking on the quest to find the best Sunday roast in Bristol, we stumbled across BANK and haven't looked back since. They do their dishes incredibly well, making sure everything is cooked to perfection whilst also adding twists and flairs that make it more exciting for a foodie than the general Sunday roast fare. In particular, their vegetables (which normally can be a bit sad in a Sunday roast) are great company to the main hero of the meal. The sharing roasts are an absolute treat, and my favourite roast to date was a roast lamb they did a while ago which also came with, what I can only describe as, a breaded and fried rolled stick of lamb deliciousness. The team at BANK are always super friendly and the restaurant has a spacious and easy going vibe. Would recommend booking ahead as well as booking for towards start of service as it tends to guarantee perfect roast potatoes. Their dinner menu is great too, but the Sunday roast is what keeps us going back.

Hands down the best roast I've ever had in more than 5 years, absolutely amazing. Service and food was 10/10, even coffe and cocktails, just perfect. Jalapeño bloody mary is just the best. Sadly we got a 10 noisy people table next to us but nothing to do with the place. Definetely I would recomend it, and I will be back.

Best Sunday roast I ever had! A bit pricey but absolutely worth it. Meat incredibly well cooked and banging Jalapeño bloody marys. The only downside is that it was a bit stuffy and noisy, as we had a 10 people table sat next to us, which made us not being able to hear each other. Anyway, I will be back to try the chicken roast. Thank you for a great experience:)

Exceptional flavours the food was out of this world. The menu changes regularly and there are a number of special dining events which sell out quickly offering food from around the globe . The atmosphere is vibrant and the staff knowledgeable about the menu and wines. Bank offers many vegan/vegetarian and gluten free options. This has become a go to venue reasonably priced for the top quality locally sourced produce that is served. Highly recommend a visit. And a plus that dogs are also welcome.

One of the best Sunday roasts me and my partner have ever had. As a vegetarian, roasts are often dry and tasteless, BANK’s veggie roast is nothing like this. The veg is crunchy and flavoursome, and the main celeriac is gorgeous. The best part of the entire meal is undoubtedly the gravy, full of salty goodness and texture. It is expensive, and small portions, but I was very full and I believe worth the cost.

Pleasant restaurant in Totterdown. I've heard some good things about this roast so naturally wanted to give it a try. Firstly, staff were really attentive and welcoming. The menu allows for sharing platters as well as individual meals. I went for the pork belly, it was tasty and the garlic taste really complimented the pork belly. However the pork belly itself wasn't tender enough and the portion was quite small. The pork crackling was too tough . The rest of the roast was perfect. Yorkie pud wasnt too crispy . Roast potatoes were seasoned well and again the garlic taste was a welcomed edition. Gravy was very tasty, cabbage, sweet potato puree really added to the dish and again tasted brilliantly. Special mention of the week goes to the cauliflower cheese . The smoked red Leicester was so tasty. The one of the best I've had in Bristol

I recently had the pleasure of dining at BANK and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed and served by Sarah, whose attentive and friendly service added to the evening's enjoyment. The food was exceptional, beginning with the Grilled Nocellara olives, which offered a unique and delightful twist on traditional olives and came in a generous portion. The smoked nuts were the perfect complement to our wine selection, adding a smoky depth that paired beautifully. One of the highlights was the burnt grape salad with Cornish octopus—an absolute divine combination of flavors and textures. The Sourdough focaccia was another standout, being both light and incredibly moreish. The wine selection was superb, and the Love O Love wine we chose was amazing, perfectly enhancing our meal. However, the true star of the evening was the Sirloin with Rendang. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the rich, flavorful Rendang sauce elevated it to new heights. The ambience at BANK was equally impressive, providing a perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. Every aspect of our visit, from the food to the service to the atmosphere, was perfect. I highly recommend BANK for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in Bristol. We will definitely be returning!

I came here with a couple of friends for one of my birthday meals and myself and my friends loved it! They've got a mostly gluten-free menu, and honestly, every small plate we tried was a hit—no misses! We ordered all the small plates and I recommend doing the same. The vibe there is super relaxed but still feels special, perfect for dinner night out. The drinks were spot on, we tried a mix of cocktails and wine and it meant being the last ones to leave! Even though I'm all about trying new spots, I'm already planning to go back to BANK soon to check out their larger plates. Highly recommend it if you're in Bristol and looking for a great place to eat and hang out!

Five adults and one toddler went for Sunday lunch which was excellent and served a little bit differently to many other places. You can have a whole chicken to share or 20oz of sirloin beef to share. Unfortunately I was the only one that wanted beef and that would have been too much and the chicken had sold out. Went for the leg of lamb instead which was very tender and cooked to perfection. Some of the others had pork belly which was well received. Vegetables were plentiful, the best being the cabbage cooked over charcoal,. Excellent and varied wine list. Staff were brilliant and helpful , serving the toddler ice cream with our starters

The hispi cabbage was chargrilled spot on, the red cabbage wasn't too sweet, the lamb was beautifully cooked. Very happy punter.

A popular spot for Sunday lunch, we had booked some time ago to get a table, although it wasn’t perhaps quite as busy as expected. It’s a light and airy restaurant, and the staff all seemed friendly and helpful. The menu seemed a bit restricted, with both the chicken and beef options having sold out, leaving just pork belly, duck or a vegetarian option. This seemed a bit poor when they’re probably the two most popular options, but that said I assume these were “to share” anyway, although that was not mentioned on the menu. But with the (whole) chicken coming in at £36, and a 20oz Sirloin at a whopping £67, I would certainly hope that was the case. I went for the pork belly which came with crackling, black garlic and miso as well as a comprehensive set of vegetables, many of them smoked, such as the smoked garlic potatoes or smoked beetroot puree. To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the pork. It seemed quite a small portion, rolled out and only about half an inch thick, and it was definitely a little chewy in places and I didn’t really notice the miso. I’ve certainly had better. On the plus side though, the vegetables were all really very good indeed, especially the (optional extra) barbequed broccoli with a Dorset red cheese gratin, that was quite amazing. A desert of rhubarb trifle was a little non-traditional, with some sort of labneh in place of the cream as well as oats in it, but the end result was quite remarkable, it was exceptionally good, with the “cream” having a caramel tinge to it and the whole thing coming together really well. A dark chocolate ganache across the table was also well received, although it was a little more as expected and didn’t match up to the trifle. Overall, a bit of a mixed bag. It’s certainly got potential, perhaps I was just unlucky, but with the limited choice and disappointing pork, I’m not sure I’ll be rushing back.

Man! The food here is so damn good! So much tastier with way more flavours than I’ve had in ages! And its small plates so you get even more variety!

Once again (5th time?) this bright and airy restaurant doesn't disappoint, too much. To be clear the only disappointment was that they'd sold all of the Sirloin; that can happen when the wife checks the menu before we arrive and my mind sets on the unavailable meat! Still it's nothing that the Middle White Pork Belly couldn't overcome. Started with a cocktail, which woke the palate, the Mint Eastwood. Pork belly with crackling for us both, very tasty, very tender. The charred hispi cabbage was a standout veg accompaniment, nearly as good as the roasties. Cocount rice pudding a winner for the wife and the rhubarb in my Trifle was a delight, paired with the suggested dessert wines a great finish to a lovely Sunday Roast. Fantastic service by the team. Oh and loyalty points to boot. What's not to like. We will return again when in Bristol. PS apparently you can ring ahead and reserve, which i'll bear in mind for next time!

Seasonal menu, very high quality small plates and a selection of larger plates, too. Definitely on the fancier side of cuisine but you are paying for very high quality food and drink. Represents very good value for money all in all. Cocktails are all very good and made with local spirits. The wine list is also completely brilliant. Fantastic treat. Worth travelling for.

Lovely buzzy restaurant but lots of issues. We went on a Saturday night, there were only 4 main courses on the menu and one was off by 7:30 - which we were only told after trying to order. Service was ridiculously slow. We had to wait 20 mins to order drinks which then took an age to arrive. Food took over an hour to reach us. Food was delicious but portions were very small so we asked to look at deserts - and there were only two rice pudding or white chocolate mousse. We didn’t like those so left hungry. Drinks were seriously expensive. We booked ahead and when we arrived were seated at a long sharing table with benches which we weren’t asked about on booking. Overall it felt like they had really overstretched themselves.

Had a good meal - food was delicious and service was good too. However, there was a long delay to the final course coming out which meant being rushed through it to meet the table curfew, as the next table were waiting. I understand these places have to work to tight schedules, but we only had 15 minutes to eat our desserts , cheese and finish drinks. The waitress was lovely and apologetic, but we spent over £250 on the meal and it was a special occasion, so left a bit of a bitter taste.

I just dont understand the point of ‘Small Plates’ really… The food is well presented and very tasty, and I guess thats what you’re paying for? There doesnt seem to be breakfast menu any more, which is a shame, although it was limited and slightly overpriced to begin with. The 2 occasions I have visited, the staff have been pleasant and engaging, so credit to them. I guess my rating just reflects the fact that I just don’t get it.

After looking forward to visiting Bank since reading all the great reviews , what an absolute disappointment! Front of staff team completely let down by the kitchen . Never have I ever been served cold food in a warm dish … and it didn’t just happen once ! It happened to each of us and we were a party of six. Not keen either on a plate of broccoli with a dollop of peanut butter next to it ? Cold cheese tasted like it was out of a packet for another small plate offer . As for watery, Thai green sauce with undercooked Trout , sorry it was just unpleasant . None of the mail plates came with vegetable accompaniments either . Left feeling like I could do with a good meal !

This place is so beautiful I'm not quite sure I have the words. It even smells divine, of the wood smoke everything is cooked over. It wasn't just that I enjoyed the food, I was in raptures over it.

Had dinner here with my GF, we liked the food and have a good experience overall, the main disappointment was the price which says on Google "££", so I was expecting fairly standard/moderate restaurant prices which it is not. We spent £95 on 3 small plates, 1 large with a glass of wine each (this was about the minimum we were recommended to order, and I was still a bit hungry afterwards). It was all nice of course but I would ask the owners to make this clearer on Google that this isn't an average priced restaurant.

I eat at Bank regularly - tell them it’s ‘really nice’ - then feel that’s a bit inadequate. So here goes… This place goes from strength to strength. The snacks/ small/ large plates menu gives lots of options. There’s always a great welcome whether they’re quiet or busy. The quality ingredients, fire-based cooking and a bit of experimentation add up to really delicious food. And the vegetable based dishes get as much love and attention as the meat/ fish ones.

Very overpriced cafe. The tepid coffee came in a tiny tiny ‘handleless cup’ and cost £3.30 When did handles go out of fashion ?! It was ridiculous Looking at the food menu it too was over priced. The place had some nice art and plants but it felt empty. Very form over function. Two other customers said they had to ask for a cup with a handle to have a decent cup of tea. I asked too but they said they didn’t have handles 😆.

We had Sunday lunch with friends and it was a pleasant meal. The service was excellent, there is a good amount of space between the tables so you don’t feel like you’re sat with your neighbours (which definitely happens a lot these days) and the food was overall good and seasonal which is great to see. On Sundays there is only a roast option. We ordered the pumpkin and the lamb. The lamb was delicious but the pumpkin was really not enjoyable, very dry and crumbly. We loved the beetroot purée that it was all served on, a really different and delicious addition. The various cabbages and veg sides were cooked beautifully and the cauliflower cheese is a must!! The roast potatoes were tough and dry but improved with more gravy. There were 2 deserts so we had both - the hazelnut panna cotta with whisky ice cream was one of the best deserts I’ve ever had, total heaven. We didn’t enjoy the pineapple rum cake. Coffees were a really good flavour although the latte is very small and more like a flat white/cortado in volume, so very strong if you’re used to a more milky latte. I would recommend having a 10oz cup for the latte. If I could I would have scored 3.5 but the great service pushed it up to a 4.

Over the last couple of years my wife and I have fallen in love with this restaurant and the team behind it. Customer service has always been exceptional even when busy. Whether it's remembering our names, my wife's nut allergy, or remembering past conversations. We always feel super welcome when we open the door. The food on our last visit was brilliant, the kitchen team always know how to treat vegetables in a sympathetic and delicious way! The beetroot was delightful and the nut free alternative pumpkin dish was yummy. The mains were very good, probably some of the best we've had here and the desserts were stunning. We've never had a bad meal here, and I'm glad to see the team get the success they deserve.

Bank took their time to figure out what formula works for them in terms of menu format, but they really got there this time! Perfect place for a fun brunch full of surprises and new flavors in a super thought-throughout menu. Glad to see this in Totterdown!

This restaurant never fails to impress. We feel so lucky to have this in our hood! Great fresh and imaginative dishes - good access for wheelchair users - accommodating to dietary requirements. Oh yes, great cocktails and wine choice too.

We came here for a Sunday roast today. The staff were friendly and atmosphere was good. The portion sizes were small, especially the veg - which was a small portion between 3 (pic below). I think value for money wasn't great but would definitely come back to try their main menu, which is what they do best.

Very lovely, good service. Lamb was delicious, everything else was a ‘ok’. Not amazing, not bad, just ok. I’d give it another go. The wine and cocktails were fab

Easily one of the best restaurants in Bristol. Food is inventive and exciting, while still being tasty and unpretentious. Service is excellent, and it's fairly priced too. Highly recommended.

We tried the lunch set here on a Saturday. £20 / 2 courses (small plate + large plate) £24 / 3 courses (the above + dessert) To conclude, we both love the large plates (roast quail and brill) more than the small plates (pork cheek and cured salmon) as the latter's flavour fell short. Maybe I expected too much from 'cooked over open fire'? The dessert, Millefeuille, was lovely. Worth trying. And the atmosphere, I do love the setting. However, when there 's a big group, even if they were sitting on the other side, it was still quite noisy that my partner couldn't hear what I was saying lol I understand there's not much the restaurant can do though. Hopefully, next time will be better!

I'm lucky to have BANK as a local restaurant after a recent move, so decided to treat myself to 3 courses for £24 on a Wednesday lunchtime. The grilled mushroom salad was a perfect starter. The flavours were very well balanced and I could have eaten three courses of just that. For main I had the duck with sweet potato and cherry. I rarely choose duck and this was a real treat, rich but not overpowering. For dessert I had the chocolate torte which was delicious but too sweet for me. This is a criticism of my palette rather than the dish. Tragically as I was working it wasn't suitable to have wine, but I'll be back to take advantage of the bottles for sure! Excellent service and an all round great experience.

Would definitely recommend to anyone. We had a wonderful time here for an anniversary dinner. The food was really good and we enjoyed that we were given time with each dish to finish it before moving on. As they're sharing plates, it was nice to not have several dishes at once. They had run out of the wine we wanted but we're suggested another bottle which was good. Service was great once it was underway, there were 2 large tables finishing as we arrived which took some time to complete.

Absolutely fantastic spot in East Bristol. I opted for the medium breakfast which was great. Good value, very fast and polite service. No complaints.

Proper cafe & a great fry up. Much cheaper and tastier than the hotel. Food came it quick and piping hot…. Proper “greasy spoon” without the grease and a choice of tomato (tinned is always better) and a generous portion
