Really good little place. Was just looking for somewhere to stop for a quick bite while prowling around Bristol. Glad we hit on this place. Nice staff, tasty food and quick service. Not too pricey either.

Had the most amazing birthday at Brace and Browns, the team there couldn't have done more to give us the day we wanted, from sorting watching the six nations, to a delicious dinner followed by having the whole place for drinks and a party in the evening. Cannot recommend this place more - just fantastic and lovely staff.

We went for drinks only. Despite asking three times for a medium glass of white wine, the bartender poured out a large. She was a bit awkward when we pointed this out and poured most of it down the sink. Wine tasted cheap. Also ordered a latte which was tasty but came in a small expresso cup which made it an expensive cup of coffee. Came out having spent over £12 on 2 unsatisfactory drinks

When booking brunch or a large girls breakfast get together I always pick Brace and Browns as my first choice cos the bottomless offer is so fair, and the food is fantsatic!! I always really enjoy my visits, and the sweet corn fish. Absolutely delicious.

We were overall really disappointed with our experience. Food came quick and orders were taken promptly but out of ten tapas dishes we ordered between us, no one really liked any of them. Noticeably no one asked us how our food was when clearing the table so we didn’t have a chance to give feedback

The best bottomless we’ve been to in Bristol for ages! Phillip made sure we were well looked after, the food was lovely and the bottles were quickly replaced once empty. They also gave us pots of fruit purées to mix with the Prosecco and make our own Bellinis. Lush!!! Loved it, thank you!

We loved our brunch however I wouldn’t advise coming if you would like to hear each other because the DJ insisted on blasting music as loud as humanly possible in a very small terrace area. We were lucky with our lovely waitress who provided the best service and overall we had a great time

Myself and my friend came for what we thought to be a bottomless brunch at the weekend. The food was all lovely, great atmosphere and nice staff. However, we were under the impression based on the language of 'free flowing prosecco' on their website, the price of £35, and other experiences of bottomless brunch that we wouldn't be limited in the amount we drank. We had drunk 2 bottles and assumed we'd be able to fit another one in before the end of our booking but were told we had reached our limit as it was only 'one bottle per person'. We said to the waitress that this was not clear on the website or booking email and when she spoke to the manager they did then offer to top up our last glass, however it was quite disappointing. It perhaps needs to be made more explicit that this is the case, because (especially for a small party such as me and my friend), it was a surprise to hear our prosecco would be limited.

Oh my goodness, everything about this brunch was AMAZING!!!!! Harriet was the best hostess ever, making sure our Prosecco and water (it was a very hot day!) was topped up. And then Laura came aswell, and well… our day was complete. We’ve name Harriet and Laura, but all of the staff were absolutely fantastic and we genuinely had the best day EVER!!! Thank you SO much. Also, you get a surprise starter and dessert which we’re both insane!!!! I want to live this day every day! Come here! If it’s the last thing you do, come to BRACE AND BROWNS!

The roast sizes are really large which is surprising as the quality is incomparable from anywhere else I’ve been in bristol. I had the pork which was like pulled pork that had been pressed, honest so delicious. Hard to beat, solid menu and service.

Went there for a "bottomless" brunch on Saturday. The starters and mains were good. My friend found a hair baked into her dessert which put her off finishing it even if it was promptly replaced when brought to the attention of a waiter. Also, we had checked the website and the menu the days before our brunch and there was no mention of the brunch not being bottomless and being limited to one bottle per person. It's not really okay to advertise it as a bottomless brunch when it's not...maybe "prosecco brunch" would be a more appropriate name. We brought that up with a waitress and she said she'd mention it to her manager but nothing was done about it. I've been to brace and browns for brunch a few times but I'm not sure I'll be returning after Saturday. Nice outdoor space though.

Visité aquí como una de nuestras primeras comidas después del cierre en agosto y lo pasamos muy bien. El personal de recepción fue muy amable y atento, incluso hizo todo lo posible para prepararnos una bebida que no estaba en el menú, lo que mostró un excelente servicio al cliente. Una gran selección de platos estilo tapas para compartir en el menú y también por un precio decente. Teníamos pollo frito con salsa de maíz dulce, flores de calabacín rellenas, caballa braseada con frijoles y aceitunas y algunos otros platos. El tamaño de las porciones era muy generoso y la comida muy sabrosa, la única crítica fue que las flores de calabacín estaban un poco grasosas. En general, una gran noche con comida sabrosa y un servicio increíble. Espero volver.

Hemos sido fanáticos de Brace & Browns durante años, pero ha pasado un tiempo desde que lo visitamos. Su extensión de la oferta Eat Out to Help Out parecía la excusa perfecta.Como siempre, la comida es excelente. Muy sabroso, con ingredientes frescos y de gran calidad. No es barato de ninguna manera, pero vale la pena el dinero. El menú no es enorme (¿menú reducido debido a COVID probablemente?) Y no nos gustó ninguna de las opciones de postre, pero todo lo que teníamos de los platos principales era genial. Recomiendo encarecidamente la foccaccia de romero con baba ganoush, pollo frito con ensalada de repollo y salsa de maíz dulce, y la cebada perlada y calabaza con pesto de rúcula.Muchos de los platos son bastante parecidos: mucho maíz dulce y calabacín, ¡y todo cubierto de piñones! Genial si te gustan estos sabores (que a nosotros sí) pero no mucha variedad. ¡Sin embargo, no es un problema para nosotros!Hubo un par de problemas menores, pero no lo suficiente como para estropear la noche. El vino que elegimos no fue nuestro favorito, pero esta podría ser una mala elección de nuestra parte.Desafortunadamente, hubo al menos 3 moscas de la fruta zumbando alrededor de nuestra mesa durante toda la noche. Difícil de controlar, lo sé, pero este es probablemente el factor que tuvo el efecto más perjudicial en la noche.Finalmente, encuentro que el cargo por servicio se agrega automáticamente a la factura para una mesa de solo dos para ser descarado. Con toda probabilidad hubiéramos dado propina de todos modos, pero realmente no vimos mucho de los camareros en toda la noche, así que no me gustó que esto se agregara sin preguntar.En general, todavía tuvimos una experiencia agradable y sin duda volveremos. Todavía 4 estrellas porque la comida es muy buena.

Llegaron como parte de un grupo planificado de 14 y se les prometió dos mesas para cumplir con las pautas de distanciamiento social. Llegué y descubrí que todos estábamos colocados en una mesa sin distanciamiento social y con otro grupo en otra mesa detrás de nosotros con aproximadamente 12 a 14 personas en ella, tampoco distanciamiento social. Para ser honesto, todo fue un desastre y no se habían notado las comidas reservadas. La comida era bastante buena, sin embargo, se necesitaba una lupa para ver el postre. Valor pobre para aquellos en el menú de sobriedad.

Reservamos este lugar durante la pandemia para celebrar dos 30 cumpleaños entre un grupo de amigos. Habíamos enviado nuestros pedidos anticipados con una semana de anticipación según lo solicitado. La planificación y organización de 15 colegas no es fácil y me aseguré de que todos los aspectos del día se transmitieran para ayudar a que funcionara sin problemas. Llegamos al lugar para que nos dijeran que el restaurante solo tenía un pedido para 10 invitados. 5 invitados tuvieron que cambiar su orden. No fue hasta que llegó el organizador y se quejó de esto que se rectificó el pedido. No se hizo ninguna disculpa.Éramos un grupo de 15 y pedimos 3 mesas, para cumplir con las pautas del gobierno. Esto fue confirmado por teléfono y correo electrónico. Llegamos a una mesa grande. No se hizo ninguna disculpa.Uno de los pedidos anticipados era incorrecto. Parece pequeño, pero esta solicitud fue aprobada previamente. Si no se pudo haber hecho, simplemente dígalo en lugar de estar de acuerdo y luego no cumplir. Sin disculpas.Se aplicó un cargo por servicio sin que nadie se lo dijera. Por supuesto, habríamos aplicado uno, sin embargo, se sintió descarado al agregarlo sin preguntar, especialmente porque habíamos experimentado varios errores con el servicio.La comunicación sobre la reserva de la dirección no se transmitió en absoluto al personal del restaurante.Al enviar un correo electrónico a un gerente (solo puedo asumirlo). . . y solicitando que hablara con el caballero que organizó la velada, procedió a ser una batalla por correo electrónico de ida y vuelta completa con justificaciones deficientes, comentarios incorrectos y se hizo sentir que nuestros comentarios no eran válidos. Como grupo de invitados, nuestros comentarios no fueron bien recibidos y recibieron comentarios groseros. Todo por correo electrónico.Todos cometemos errores, sin embargo, un gerente debe asumir la responsabilidad y disculparse por la falta de organización y los asientos inseguros. Una disculpa es muy útil. Si alguien hubiera apartado al organizador esa noche y se hubiera disculpado, las cosas hubieran ido mucho mejor. En su lugar, nos ofrecieron (por correo electrónico) el reembolso de nuestro cargo por servicio. No se trataba del dinero y no debería quitárselo a los camareros. Se trataba de pedir disculpas y rectificar los continuos errores de la noche, frente a las malas justificaciones de una mala organización.No es un lugar ideal para fiestas más grandes. La espantosa organización y la correspondencia por correo electrónico, de quien solo puedo asumir que era una persona de autoridad, nos ha dejado muy desanimados. No volveremos a elegir este lugar.

Came here for a 6 course lunch, wasn’t disappointed! The courses were small but tasty, we had the meat menu and was really well put together. The service was lovely and easy, the waitress was polite and patient. The best course was the date and earl grey sticky toffee pudding, wish it was bigger! We weren’t sure how filling it would be, but at the end we both were full and happy with the amount we had. We got the lunch on a wowcher deal, not sure it would have been worth paying full price but would definitely come back if we had another wowcher for it.

El entusiasmo por el brunch sin fondo en Brace and Browns era algo que debía probar. Un poco desanimado por fuera, el interior era mucho más acogedor. El personal fue amable y cordial en todo momento, si no a veces requirió un poco de promoción: un miembro de la fiesta tuvo que pedir su refresco varias veces antes de entregarlo. Sin embargo, el Prosecco definitivamente no tenía fondo y el personal estaba atento al rellenar. La comida era sabrosa, aunque nada espectacular. Los entrantes / postres fueron 3 artículos pequeños, algunos más sobresalientes que otros. Las porciones podrían haber sido más grandes, pero si su enfoque es Prosecco, entonces esto no sería un problema. ¡Buena relación calidad-precio si vas a tener más de unas copas de Prosecco! Definitivamente regresaría.

This is a lovely venue, very welcoming and friendly and for me when there is a gluten free option on the menu I am very happy until that means they just whip off the Yorkshire pudding and stuffing and throw in cheese melted on cauliflower rather than it being cheese sauce.

Late review but I just wanted to say the following... I don’t usually go out of my way to write reviews but I was served today by a member of your team, I believe her name was Ali. Hands down the best service I’ve ever experienced, not only was she polite and humourous, she was also completely oblivious so the level of talent she has at her disposal which is a quality I thoroughly enjoy. Will definitely be coming back purely because of her. The food was mediocre but because of her it was exceptional, the best meal I’ve ever had. Ask for Ali unless you’re a certified fool.

We had a lovely roast lunch. But... Didn't get asked if we wanted a drink etc for the first 20 minutes of sitting there. Then ordered our roast, it came and was very nice (taste and presentation). Then, it got very noisy with the arrival of a large hen party so we asked for the bill and it came, after a fashion. My friend paid first and was given her receipt. I paid my half and... The waitress just walked off! She didn't say thank you or goodbye. She hadn't asked if our food was okay... Nothing. I thought she was going inside to get my receipt. But she didn't come back. The guy who was working was friendly enough but zero engagement with anyone else. First time I've deliberately not tipped in as long as I can remember! Disappointing. Stars are for food, which was really good.

Had the prosecco brunch here. It was all beautifully laid up inside but because of the weather we sat outside. Great spot for people watching ! We were really well looked after with friendly service and bottles of prosecco were brought (rather than them topping up the glass). Prosecco was excellent quality and was thoughtfully seved with jugs of puree to make bellinis if you wished, and carafes of orange juice and water. We had a selection of picky bits as a starter, an excellent arancini, a lovely hummous topped tostada and a vegetable stuffed potato skin. All excellent. The main was divine - ham hock, summer bubble and squeak, poached egg and hollandaise, it was delicious. Pudding was nice but a little underwhelming - a small slice of sticky toffee which was a little dry in places and a delicious slice of poached pear. Would have been nice to have had a more summery pud - and a bit larger !

Había reservado en Brace and Browns para el almuerzo del domingo cuando mis padres estaban de visita. Cuando hice la reserva, en ningún momento me dijeron que no se ofrecería el almuerzo del domingo, ya que era un día festivo. Estaba lloviendo ese día y pasamos la mayor parte de la mitad de la hora empapándonos tratando de encontrar un restaurante alternativo, ya que no queríamos prosecco sin fondo (todo lo que se ofrecía) estábamos hambrientos y muchos restaurantes ya estaban completos. Solo fuimos la séptima mesa que se rechazó debido a su falta de comunicación. Tenían mi número de teléfono, ¿un mensaje de texto o una llamada hubiera sido realmente tan difícil?

One waitress was amazing! But the rest of the staff were so rude because they bowed to one other tables demands. I spoke to every table bar one and they loved the experience! The manager of the place was VILE! I would not recommend because of her. If you want fake girls that’s the place to go

Very disappointed at both the food standards dropping along with the customer service levels. Our waitress was rude to us from the moment we sat down. The food wasn’t as nice as previous visits. Such a shame.

Been here twice for the bottomless brunch and its relaly good value for money - you get 3 courses and also they bring you bottles instead of just fill up your glsses. the waiters/waitresses are really nice and friendly and don't mind when you get a bit... drunk. haha they were really nice.

Attended on Saturday during their prosecco brunch. I didn’t feel 100% so decided not to drink, which wasn’t a problem at all for them even tho I let them know at last minute. Usually I’ve found ya other restaurants that when you’re having prosecco brunch the food is pretty average, however, this was definitely not the case at brace and browns. I had wild mushrooms in truffle and garlic on savoury French toast with a poached egg on top, and it was incredible. Considering this is my favourite brunch option it had a high standard to me and it absolutely did so. The only disappointing factor was that I was too full to finish it! So I don’t advice having porridge at 8am if you’re going to be eating here at 12:30.

This is a great place to go for Sunday lunch, particularly if you're gluten intolerant like me. Food is high quality and very generous in terms of portion sizes. Wine list is mediocre and service, although welcoming and friendly, can be on the slow side. Nevertheless, the standard of food is worth the wait.

Really nice welcome on arrival and drinks service excellent throughout the meal. We had pre ordered as a large group. I had the scallops which were delicious, the duck and noodles which was excellent and the poached pear was yummy! Highly recommend as a dinner venue.

Booked Sunday lunch at Brace and Browns expecting something special, but found it rather hit and miss. We arrived, were shown immediately to our table and promptly served. I had the roast rump of beef and my partner the lamb. We did not have long to wait and the food came well presented, but some components were good, some average, and some bad. The carrots, leaks and gravy were fine. The beef was nice and pink, but a little tough. The lamb was a disappointment; some slices were cooked just right, but one piece was simply raw! The roast potatoes were frankly terrible; so hard that they could not be cut! They were definitely procooked and kept warm, which also made them taste stale. I understand that they cannot always be just out of the oven, but at 1pm on a Sunday afternoon they should be infinitely better.

Juste arrivés pour quelques jours sur Bristol, c’est avec plaisir que nous avons découvert le Brace & Browns. Un peu à l’écart du quartier festif, une ambiance cosy, une cuisine intéressante mais surtout un service agréable et un excellent rapport qualité prix , je recommande vivement

A group of 21 came to Brace and Browns to celebrate a couple of years of winning quizzes. We'd decided we wanted to have a bottomless brunch and despite the many offerings for this in Bristol, Brace and Browns was the original so we thought we'd go there.

We went here on a Friday night it wasn’t to busy and we had good service. The food was well cooked, I had the steak medium rare and it actually came medium rare! We had the dirty fries and they where really nice crispy chips and not greasy at all which can happen some times. So all in all a really good meal.

We were lucky enough to get a table here at short notice after missing our booking elsewhere and I am so glad we did!!! We had the bottomless brunch and the food and Prosecco were amazing! Perfectly sized portions of food and the steak and crabcakes tasted incredible! The starters were also delicious, the mac & cheese balls were to die for! Staff were amazing, very friendly and super speedy, they kept us topped up with Prosecco the entire time without us having to ask once and it was nice having the syrups and orange juice on the side too. Just perfect! 10/10 - can’t wait to come back sometime!

Fuimos para el asado del domingo, fue decepcionante, Veg era pobre, parecía que las zanahorias se habían dejado en la sartén durante siglos, el queso de coliflor estaba frío y no sabía cuál era el punto de los chips de chirivía. Ambos tenían la carne que estaba bien, pero muy raro.

Al llegar, nos encontramos con un restaurante vacío que debería habernos dado una pista ya que era una noche de viernes a las 745 pm. Después de 10 minutos se llenó de estudiantes en el bar. El ruido era inevitable y apenas podíamos oírnos hablar. La camarera se acercó y dimos nuestra orden de bebidas. La camarera regresó para tomar el pedido de comida, pero no sabía nada de lo que había en el menú hasta el punto de irse a preguntar. Era obvio que ella era nueva en su trabajo, pero tal vez debería haber sido entrenada para descubrir lo que viene con las comidas principales, etc. La polenta combinada y empapada. Lo devolvimos después de invitar al Gerente a probar este misterioso polvo en el lado del plato que no sabía a nada. Ella era complaciente hasta el punto de tomar la comida vegetariana de la cuenta, pero hace una buena noche de marzo cuando tienes que quejarte.
