Caper And Cure in Bristol, City of

Unseasoned frites, horrific mackerel dish that had the most dreadful mouthfeel, let alone flavour. Hake dish was poor and the croquettes were ridiculously small and cold. The cocktails at the end of the evening were poorly mixed and espresso martini was a shocker. But on the plus side, the service was impeccable and the ambience was perfect. Wine pairing was on point from our waitress and the bread and Crab butter were delish. Went for the food, but was disappointed and to pay £200 for 2 peeps, you'd expect better. Still had a lush evening.

Such a great meal. Service was spectacular, wine was delectable, and the food was quite simply extraordinary. Highly recommend the Stone Bass!

Gorgeous food, could have eaten my body weight in the croquettes and been a happy camper.

Situated in a lively and pretty chilled part of Bristol is Caper and Cure. You could easily walk past it…but that’s your loss. An excellent menu with excellent sourcing from across the region and Europe: - 4-6 choices per course - an excellent well-priced wine list - a good list of specials Our choices included: Chorizo croquetas- delicious Crab butter with soft herbs - lip-smackingly good with bread Perfectly cooked cod and hake The team there were great. My first time…but I shall return

The best fish in Bristol. Service was impeccable too!

We were seated on a solo table downstairs in an open kitchen setting. Unfortunately it was a bit unpleasant as the room is small and in such close proximity to the kitchen that it smells like an industrial kitchen. The light was stark and there was little ambiance or atmosphere compared with upstairs. Table got pushed back twice and two out of the four mains were unavailable. The Bouillabaisse tasted nice but was very small with minimal seafood and very little of anything else. The bread was probably the best part yet felt like it was just compensating for the skimpy £25 portion. Service was a bit awol but probably because they were understaffed and the table was out of sight.

Had a delightful Sunday roast here today. The beef was sublime very tender and tasty. The crab butter was to die for, a definite must try. We only shared 1 desert but the white chocolate mousse was also excellent. Lovely attentive staff. Good selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Very well decorated intimate restaurant.

Food was 'good" though portions were very small. Slightly pricey considering the portion size. Increasing the portions would easily move this to 4/5 stars

Yet again an absolutely superb experience! We love this restaurant!! Restrained menu which is right up our street as shows the focus on quality. We had the croquettes, sardines and bread to share as a starter. All utterly amazing. The cafe de Paris butter with the bread was out of this world (that good that we took what we didn’t eat home - something we never do!!) For mains we opted for the onglet steak and gnocchi - both totally delicious. Sadly we couldn’t manage desserts but all washed down with a fab rose and light Italian red. A special mention has to go to Marcel who looked after us all evening. His enthusiasm for the food and his job was totally infectious - a real credit to the C & C team. Thank you Marcel. And thank you to all the staff and chefs. Another superb experience - we’ll be back.

We ate at Caper and Cure as a family. What a special little gem, centred in a busy, bustling stokes croft. Whilst the decor is slightly dated, with chandeliers and the odd painting, the restaurant has a real charm to it, somewhat resembling a French bistro. Like many restaurants currently it was very warm, so you’d be advised to dress appropriately for that! Service was very friendly, albeit a little frantic but we didn’t mind. I opted for the bouillabaisse, which I’ve had many times on my travels, with each restaurant offering their own personal take. I can confirm it’s up there with the best I’ve had in France. Wow. We also had the Cornish cod, which glistened and just flaked apart, with buttery ratte potatoes and a light sauce. To finish a perfect meal, a very classic tart au citron for me. No drills needed here, just executed in a way that respects the humble lemon tart. Just the way it should be. Testament to Caper and Cure. You’re doing something that many restaurants are missing the mark on. Serving beautifully cooked, honest plates of food in a friendly, comfortable environment. Again, just the way it should be (and stay). Thank you

Fantastic little bistro that easily rates as one of the top places in the city for food. Everything we had was amazing, the pasta, monkfish, crab, terrine, anchovies...worth getting a few things and sharing the lot. Definitely a place to come back and work through the menu.

Absolutely exceptional, everything was delicious and the staff were amazing, loved their wine recommendations and felt like they genuinely wanted to find something they thought you'd enjoy - not just the most expensive bottle. We sat in the window which was a lovely place to watch the world go by whilst enjoying some of the best food I've had in Bristol.

Genuinely one of the best restaurants I’ve visited in Bristol, blows some of the established places out of the water in terms of quality.

Very good! Small independent restaurant on the edge of a 'less than salubrious' area of central Bristol! A 'concise' menu, that changes frequently, offering some great seasonal choices. Plates were well prepared and presented. We both had fish - delicious! Tables were small and a bit crowded. Enjoyed the friendly service.

Incredible food, I ordered almost half the menu! It has a lovely atmosphere and the service is wonderful. If you are looking for a meal in Bristol, you cannot get any better.

We celebrated a 21st birthday at Caper and Cure, and while the staff were very friendly and welcoming, both the kitchen and service speeds left a bit to be desired. The restaurant wasn’t crowded, with only two other small tables dining alongside us, but our meal still took from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM for just three courses, which seemed long. The food was really good when it finally arrived, the kitchen puts a lot of effort into their dishes. However, the kitchen might have been slow, which could explain some of the wait. The service also could have been more efficient. For example, while one staff member was busy polishing glasses, they could have helped the other, who was struggling to bring out our nine plates two at a time. This lack of teamwork noticeably slowed down the delivery of our meals. Overall, the service was slow, but the food was very good, which made up for some of the waiting time.

We check the menue on the website and on instagram nand we planed our dinner including the wine. We found a totataly diferent menue when we were there. Not good managing I supouse for a restaurant that supoused to be top. On top of that they were short on staff and the drinks and the food took a long time to arrive every time we order some times we had to order drinks twice cause they forgot it.

Everything was absolutely perfect, the service, the ambiance and the food was so delicious. Can’t wait to visit again

Thankyou so much for making my 70th birthday so special. The food and service was exceptional. 😋💯👏we were having such a lovely time. We forgot to take photos of our main course's. Had the best cocktails instead of desserts as we were full.

Restaurant was cold and the fan on full, despite us asking if it could be turned down a little. Food was expensive for average quality. The chocolate dessert was pretty dreadful.

A fantastic hidden gem in the heart of Stokes Croft. Amazing food and service. Everything was outstanding from the oysters to the steak. It was well worth it and we will be going back again! Highly recommend.

Absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch! Especially the homemade bread and butter which was divine beside the awesome crab butter starter and mains to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. We will definitely be returning again. A lovely touch was that our daughter was greeted with a complimentary glass of bubbly, which at first she thought we had organised, but I said no it was them as I had mentioned it when I was booking the table. Thank you to Sylvie and fellow staff who gave us excellent service, etc. See you all again soon!

There have been only 3 occasions in the last decade where I have been unable to comprehend how chef has created the wonderful dish I’ve been served with. Tonight was one of those three occasions. The food, cooked to perfection, was served in a friendly, knowledgeable environment where quality of experience vs turning of tables was prioritised. The standout dish is the crab butter, but everything we ate, and drank, was excellent.

We chose C&C for our first wedding anniversary dinner. It was a little slow to get to our table although it didn’t seem busy when we arrived. However once seated, we received a warm reception. We couldn’t resist the oysters - opted for 6 at £18. So fresh we slurped them up! Then followed it up with two mains from the chalkboard. Pork belly and the hake. The belly was incredibly tender & bursting with flavour. I enjoyed my delicate hake with potatoes to the last bite. Don’t be fooled by the portion size. We were happily stuffed but rounded it off with their cheese selection and a panna cotta. In doing so, my husband found a new blue cheese he loved; the cashel blue. The entire meal was approximately £115. Save this for a special occasion or if you’re feeling luxurious one evening. Reservation is recommended since we saw walk-ins being turned away.

Ridiculously good! We don't usually go for Sunday roast very often: it's usually too big, the beef option is often undercooked or overcooked (sometimes both, hehehe), the vegetables are sad, the potatoes fail, and the gravy is tasteless. Also, none of us really like the quantity of it. But THIS Sunday Roast at Caper and Cure is a completely different story. They've mastered it from A to Z: flavours, quantity, quality, price, etc. We all had pork belly and one fish dish, along with a couple of starters and desserts to share. The tasty rillette and cured red mullet were heavenly, but I highly recommend trying their crab dish - it's buttery goodness. The fish was perfectly cooked, but the pork belly stole the show: perfectly cooked vegetables, soft and superbly cooked belly, vibrant greens, and gravy so good you'd want to drink a pint of it. Even the sauces they offered were delicious: good mustard, tangy apple sauce, and yummy horseradish cream. Panna cotta and chocolate mousse for dessert, and a nice piece of cheese to finish, turned a delicious meal into an experience, thanks to the attention to detail of the great service and the flavors coming out of that kitchen."

WOW! A friend and I visited the Caper and Cure on 8/3/24. Can honestly say it was the best seafood we'd ever eaten. River trout, hake, scallops, and oysters are all amazing. Service was impeccable. We will definitely be back.

Loved every aspect of Caper and True, thank you to the team for a wonderful evening.

Great venue with an incredible Roast (one of the best in Bristol!) Super friendly staff, even though a lot of things clearly weren’t going their way! Nice atmosphere inside, We will be back

What an absolute delight. Food is great, vibe is brilliant. I've eaten at higher end places that don't even come close to the food here. Would recommend to all

Came here today for a roast and can’t fault it to be honest. I had pork and it had crispy crackling , lovely sides of red and normal cabbage, some of the crispiest roasters I’ve had aside my homemade ones. And the leek gratin was lovely and cheesey! Huge portion so definitely worth the money. Wine selection good. Please offer all condiments, even if it doesn’t so say “go with the meat” a lot of people like a choice of mint etc with all meats. Pudding menu could be better but that’s nit picking. Would return.

Yummy Sunday roasts! The nut roast is the best I’ve ever had. And that dessert - I would eat 10 of those if I could haha!

Meal was ok - 6 of us dined but all dishes were way too rich with very little to cut through the richness. Very little contrast on my duck dish - Food sat heavy (in a really bad way). It’s strong money for what it is in my opinion.

Food and wine were both amazing, and staff were so lovely! We had a great meal :)

10/10 beef roast. 12/10 pistacia creme brulé. Say no more

Outstanding! Hands down the best roast dinner I’ve ever eaten and the pistachio creme brûlée was soooo good! We aren’t local but will be back!

Absolute gem of a restaurant; a proper treat. Amazing food (I'm vege), wine, atmosphere and service. Thank you!

Delicious food Mussels and the duck leg special were so so good

Amazing sunday roast, & best crème brûlée I’ve had!!!

Most incredible beef I've had on a roast ever.

My second visit and it definitely didn’t disappoint! Everything was superb, delicious cocktails and stunning food. Every dish was incredible. Would recommend you to make a visit! The staff worked hard to make sure we had a great meal - thank you :)

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Bristol. The food was spot on and the service was great.

I don't often feel compelled to write a review for meals out but I am doing so this time because the dinner I had last night was exceptional. We shared delicious starters of oysters and beef croquettes, main course was a beautifully cooked bavette and a pudding of pistachio creme brule. Lovely friendly service, a wide wine list and great atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

Roast was cooked to perfection. Potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Everything went so well together!

Great staff and a really friendly atmosphere. The food arrived quickly and it was up there with one of the best roasts I’ve eaten!

Had a delicious meal here last week. Service attentive and friendly We had the oysters, crab butter (particular fav) mussels and steak onglet

Second visit and nothing has changed, which is delightful news. Went early this time, but still a great atmosphere and staff are great. I had a cocktail to start which was perfect and followed with Ox tougne and then lamb rump, both dishes were extremely tasty. Washed down with a reasonably priced Pinot Noir. Atmosphere buzzy, staff friendly, totally recommend

Really good, not in Bristol too often but everything was great.

Amazing food and exceptionally lovely staff

Superb food, drink and atmosphere. Relatively casual. Highly recommended. Bill was over £200 for 2 but we did have quite a few drinks.

Really good food, fab service. Really good find.

First time eating here and was very impressed. Sunday roast is one of my favourite meals and I’ve tried a wide range of places looking for the best. This was undoubtedly the best I’d ever tasted. Beef and roast potatoes were perfect. The mix of sauces and veg was unusual but really added to the overall taste mix. Will definitely return.

We googled venues close to our daughters new Uni digs so we could have a last family meal before saying Goodbye, Caper & Cure did not disappoint. A fantastic Sunday lunch (the beef just melted) , really friendly and attentive staff.....I only wish id had enough room for a pudding as they looked amazing to. Will definitely be back.

The BlackBerry with the duck was an inspiration. Excellent all round.

The restaurant is stunning and so cosy. The staff were attentive and fun to talk to and oh my goodness, the food was GORGEOUS! The crab butter was the most amazing thing I've ever eaten, I'd literally drink it if I could.

Amazing food and wine in a great atmosphere. High end casual dining at it's best. The Pistachio creme brulee was possibly the best dessert I've ever had.

The food was amazing the Sunday that we went, but the service was strained as the two waiting staff were really busy overloaded looking after two floors. They both did this thing where they never smile and were "too cool" for that kind of thing. Anyway the food was amazing and we really loved everything apart from the cauliflower cheese which at that price should be fine for sharing, but honestly, the portion was so small, it was practically microscopic. Please fix that and it would have been a 10/10.

Faultless roast, really have nothing bad to say about it, everything was perfect. I had a porchetta roast, porchetta was crispy and tender, very tasty. Roast potatoes were crispy and fluffy on the inside and there was a decent amount as well. Cheesy leaks were really nice, gravy, Yorkshire pudding, red cabbage, carrots were also super tasty. Service was really friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was vibrant.

Great setting, stylish decor, incredible food (the crab butter I could drink happily by the pint) and fantastic, personable service from someone who casually managed a minor medical emergency during dinner without drama. Will be returning soon.

Fabulous food. Fabulous service. Perhaps the best restaurant on the Stokes Croft /Cheltenham Road /Gloucester Road 'strip'. Concise menu with specials board. All were enticing. The mussels were some of the best I have ever had. Brilliant puddings. God drinks list with an exceptional wine list. Fully deserves the national recognition they have achieved

Delicious food and wine, great service and they allow dogs ☺️ would recommend.

Just had the Sunday roast at Caper and cure...I think this is now the best in Bristol...the food was fresh and tasty the beef was melt in the mouth and 3 slices and some extra pile of slow roast shredded beef... roast potatoes spot on...the staff very friendly and professional..very smart and tidy restaurant...defo coming back for the pork which looked amazing.... thanks cc... David

Superb. Some of the nicest oysters & crème brûlée I ever tasted. Faultless.

One of Bristol's best restaurants

Really nice atmosphere, very clean, great service and delicious food. They have vegan ravioli if you ask for it.

Visited the restaurant on a family night out. A true hidden gem just outside Stokes Croft. Highly recommended. Staff very helpful & friendly. Had some lovely food from Oysters, Steak Tartar, Lamb Steak, Fish, Muscles a good variety. All the food was absolutely delicious. The oysters & muscles were the biggest I have seen. Restaurant on two levels. Booking required. Will be visiting again.

Was taken here for a Fathers Day treat, and was really impressed. Nice intimate and stylish restaurant. The food was excellent for all 3 courses and there was lots of choice with daily specials. The service was excellent too and the bill was reasonable for the high quality food. I definately recommend this restaurant and I will be going back.

Came here for our anniversary. The food was amazing and well priced for what it was. The staff were so thoughtful, friendly and attentive. 10/10 recommend😊💙

Brilliant hidden gem. The food, cocktails and service was incredible. I would highly recommend this cozy restaurant. Their produce is noticeably fresh and sustainable, which we look for. We went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it delivered! Highly recommend - it is a must.

Terrific. We shared several dishes including a divine chicken liver parfait, crab butter and burrata/tomatoes. My lamb special was brilliant and so were the market fish and steak. Service was spot on, friendly and attentive but not hanging over you every second.

Just spectacular ! This definitely ranks in the top 5 of the best meals I’ve had - my partner and I each had a 3-course meal with wine, every single bite of every dish was delicious. Service was fast, staff knew their stuff and couldn’t have been more lovely. Highly recommended

First class food in a relaxing casual dining environment. Highly recommended.

Again, this is what an independent restaurant should be like. Small but superb menu, attentive and friendly and personalised service. The food was top marks. Nicely inventive and tasted great . Such a find and I'll be back!

Excellent cocktails and food. High quality ingredients. Lots of seafood. Beautifully presented but not over-complicated. Great service. And quite reasonably priced considering the quality. Will definitely be back.

Insane, one of the best - service and food was delicious start to finish!

Why is this place not busier for brunch? Good coffee and amazing breakfast. Poached eggs on toast with avo but done to absolute perfection. So glad we stumbled across this place. The waitress was lovely too!! Definitely going to come back for dinner if this morning was anything to go by.

Also tip one in Bristol for me! The special white port with tonic is great. Whole lemon sole is very tender and flavorful! Always love their music list. Just play on my heart.

We visited on a busy Thursday evening and had a wonderful dining experience. The service was excellent all evening and our meals were delicious. We tried the goat croquettes while we were deciding, and the meat was beautifully cooked and very tasty. The starter of the warm crab butter was very original, with the crab meat tasting sweet and the sour dough bread being light and fluffy. The main of the Porthilly mussels was also delicious, with the quailty of the mussels being exceptional - large and cooked to perfection. All our diners had amazing dishes with the Lemon Sole Special also being of note. The wine list and Port and Tonic aperetif were also excellent. Well worth a visit !

Excellent Bristol restaurant. Great food and friendly service. We will be back

Really delicious food with good service. Highly recommend the crab starter and the pork main. Possibly the best brulé I have had.

Im surprised to see the lack of reviews here , after being named in bristols best roasts and myself being across many of them caper and cure really stacks as the stand out roast for me! Nibbles: Beef and shallot croquetas with parmesan. Starters: Fresh St Austell mussels, cider, bay leaves and sourdough. Warm crab butter soft herbs and sourdough (star of the show!! 10/10) Mains: ~ Dry Aged Beef Rump Cap and braised featherblade ~ Rolled Middlewhite pork belly Cauliflower cheese Including roast potatoes, red cabbage, honey roast carrot, celeriac puree, crushed swede and greens, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. Desserts: Pistachio crème brulée with shortbread chocolate sorbet I really cant hype this place enough book a roast service is fantastic and the food is to die for !

The food is exquisite and the menu well thought through and interesting. Prompt service and casual setting, but both felt almost too casual for the level of cuisine you get. Quite affordable.

Delicious locally sourced food and friendly service, highly recommended. We were seated at the round table and I found the seating slightly uncomfortable, but all the other booths and chairs looked fine. They adjusted the menu for our kids and served the food promptly. The spinach and ricotta pasta with pesto and mushrooms was incredible, definitely the best I've ever eaten!

Oh. My. Goodness. Jamon butter. Give the chef a Nobel Peace Prize. Pheasant and bacon terrine. Cover me in it. Ex-dairy goat rack with anchovie puree. Yes! Excellent, friendly, patient staff. This place reminds you how good it is to be alive.

A lovely meal, well looked after by all the staff, definitely a recommend and we will return. Many more dishes to try !

Fabulous! Food is an absolute triumph. The sole and hake both outstanding. Lovely warm atmosphere and great service from front of house. In a city with so many excellent restaurants this is right up there with the best!

Great meal, great service. Crab butter and sourdough was just unreal. The special of the day was a Lemon sole which was perfect.

Great food, wonderful service, all round near perfect dining experience. The menu is interesting and offers creative yet classic choices. Excellent spot and highly recommend!

Can’t find a better Sunday Roast in Bristol. We’re lucky to have Caper and Cure ♥️

The food here was sensational. Lots of gluten free options as well. I was blown away by the flavours and the perfect dishes. Really highly recommend

Awesome atmosphere and food. Great service. Prices not low but not too high either considering what you get.

Two Americans for dinner on a Saturday night and we both loved the place. Fabulous ox cheek with chimichuri potato, exceptional crusted lamb and polenta, nice wine list... All for less than we'd pay across the pond for a less surprisingly excellent meal. Good wine list, nice desserts, and if they have mussels for starters don't pass them by. Great service too. Wish we could come back next weekend!! Seats 24 in a warm and cozy setting. Nice work caper and cure!

We had a lovely evening meal at Caper and Cure; the staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. The restaurant is small and intimate, but has a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend the ox cheek and the pork, and a tasty dessert to finish - we will definitely be back!

The atmosphere was good. Friendly and welcoming staff. The food was delicious. We were a party of 3 people eating and we all had different items from the brunch menu. Simple but VERY well cooked. Next time we are in Bristol we will come back. Highly recommend.

This is one of my favourite Bristol dinner spots. Excellent but interesting food cooked to a really high standard. The service was fantastic, very friendly without being intrusive. Their wine list is also top notch as is the cocktail selection. Definitely pay these guys a visit if you’re in the city.

Went last night and was delighted with the whole experience, the food was especially good. The pork tenderloin being the standout dish of the evening Service and wine were equally good and fir the volume we ate and drank this place was also exceptional value...

Beautiful food ( I had the mussels followed by Hake on saffron risotto). Great service and wine advice. Lovely relaxed atmosphere in a delightful space. Can’t wait to go back ( already booked in for March) !!

Very good value given the ingredients and quality of food. 3 courses and plenty to drink. Well looked after. Worth a visit

Went here for the Sunday roast. Loved the veggie wellington. Loved the beetroot starter. Loved the wine. Great vibes all round

Fantastic restaurant, menu, staff and wine. HIGHLY recommended. Vegetarian option also available. Superb!
