Harbour & Browns in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Harbour & Browns is settled in the new wapping wharf development in bristol , amongst some fierce competition. A great tapas styled menu with a decent amount of choice between the 4 of us we managed to order everything on the menu , what i would say for the weakest dish was the short rib not tender and quite chewy a real let down… and thats where the criticisms stop . Every other dish we had was delicious a small portion on the scallop being a single small queen scallop … we ordered one each thank god ! The truffle mac and cheese bites were something else a real favourite we also ordered another portion of this ! The lamb rump was cooked to perfection and melted in the mouth ! We were served by a fabulous waitress who said she was on her 2nd shift covering here , we couldn’t tell she was an absolute credit. A great dining experience however i would say pricier than most other restaurants in bristol for the amount of food you get definitely not competitive with prices but a lovely meal none the less !

Arrived on spec and managed to get a table in this lovely restaurant in cargo 2 last night. So glad we did, we had a cracking meal. Waiter was super friendly and helpful. We were 5 and asked for a selection of starters and mains to share. He advised us to each have a scallop each though - and right advice -it was the stand out taste sensation, from the starters. The mains selection was delicious; great mix of meat and vegetarian - hard to pick a favourite but cauliflower and broccoli plate possibly pips the others. Rounded off by fresh donuts presented with syringes of salted caramel and crème to fill your own.

Great venue, beautiful space that was a luxurious pleasure. Staff are really friendly. Perfect place for a smaller party or private dinner.

I can't fathom why this little restaurant isn't busier. Had a great meal while watching all the sheep queue for Gambas. I have eaten there too and this was just as good. Low key, great food and a good night out.

Highly recommend for a gorgeous relaxed al fresco lunch.we had the brunch with prosecco, drinks were flowing the service was excellent and the food was at a really good standard great place to visit as a couple or with friends

I went yesterday for lunch and the restaurant was empty which I thought was a bad sign but I wanted to give it a go and was very disappointing. I had the confit duck leg from the main menù and was like a tapas, super small plate. I paid £17 as this is supposed to be the main course. Never ever again.

Please come to this little offshoot of Brace & Browns! Upstairs at Cargo 2 in Wapping Wharf and right next door to the ever-popular Gambas, Harbour & Browns awaits to serve you delicious small-plate, pan-Continental-inspired food cooked to perfection. And yet, we were the only ones eating last night. Why?! The food is wonderful, the staff are friendly and fun (and equally prepared to keep a respectfully distant quiet eye if that's your preference), and the wine was delicious. Everything is reasonably priced, especially for the quality. What's not to love? We had nibbles of macaroni cheese balls (think arancini but with mac n cheese inside – oh my heavenly goodness!) and nduja croquettes, with a sauce with just the right amount of kick. For our shared mains, we had the beef shin (utterly melt-in-the-mouth, richly delicious), buttermilk chicken (crispy and succulent), baked camembert (oozy, dippable) and yummy parmesan fries. Just the right amount of food for two to leave a smidgeon of room to share the inject-the-filling mini doughnuts for dessert. We loved it. There shouldn't empty tables. Go.

The bottomless brunch isn’t actually bottomless, it’s one bottle of Prosecco per person. This is disappointing and should be stated one the menu/fine print when booking. Service is a little below average, wasn’t awful but wasn’t attentive or particularly friendly. One of our chairs was a little broken and the waiter challenged us as to why we wanted a new chair. When we first arrived for our pre booked brunch, as it was already somewhat busy the staff almost seemed annoyed at us. It was my friends 30th birthday so it was not a particularly special event based on the staff. Food was lovely and better than other brunches. Shame the service and lack of ‘bottomless’ let it down. Overall I wouldn’t visit again, but did enjoy the food. My advice to management would be to review customer service as it won’t lead to repeat customers as it currently is.

We went for the Sunday Prosecco brunch on the last day of a girls weekend in Bristol! Everything from the decor, the service but most importantly the food was just perfect! I would definitely recommend this place!!!

Expectations were high, we’d viewed menu online and turned up for bottomless brunch on Saturday. The staff were accommodating and very apologetic for the large table of excitable ladies on a hen do. It meant that the first hour of our booking was pretty tough on the eardrums, but the food was lovely (although not the menu published on the website). We were somewhat stunned when informed the bottomless element of the brunch wasn’t bottomless, but the manager did (quite rightly) serve extra Prosecco, albeit with a cautionary warning that it was a one off, and to recompense us for the first hour of our booking. Personally, I don’t think venues of this size can accommodate parties of that nature unless the whole restaurant is booked.

Was really excited to visit for a friend's birthday as the menu looked delicious. Was disappointed when the menu was different from what id seen online, and even more disappointed that the 'bottomless' brunch was blatantly misadvertised. The bottomless brunch allows for one bottle of prosecco per person but there is no detail of this in the fine print on the menu or the website. When questioned the waiter told us he 'couldnt change the menu' but still refused to fulfill the promised bottomless brunch. To add to this it seemed that the focus was not on the food but to get customers in and out as quick as possible. Nice setting but below average food and drink. Disappointed!

Had a lovely experience. Great service. A technical problem delayed our order by 20 minutes but waiter insisted he would honour the first table reservation. Had a nice hot chocolate while waiting. Really great vegetables. Had King Trumpet mushrooms, romanesque and cavalo nero in mascarpone sauce which was to die for! Beetroot and feta dish was good and leek and sweet corn fritters were lovely too. Dishes are tapas style, waiter recommended 3 each for a good meal and I agree, it was a good amount. Best was the fresh fill your own donuts complete with syringes with a chocolate and a salted caramel sauce filling. Delicious! Would highly recommend.

First visit to Bristol and a Saturday night! Main Broad Quay and Harbourside absolutely packed and very loud. Wanted somewhere quieter for a romantic couple evening. Went to Cargo2. Restaurant fully booked inside, but they found us a nice table outside, with heater and blankets, lovely touch. Tapas meals were varied, nicely cooked, a good size, and left us so full we could not manage a desert. Service good too. Would definitely recommend

Lovely little plates style food. We have the beef rib and the fish tacos and 3 sides of a duck and beetroot salad, Mac and cheese with wild mushrooms and chips with truffle and Parmesan shavings. The Mac and cheese was the best we have ever tasted, the beef rib fell off the bone and the chips were fab. I didn’t particularly like the fish tacos, it was beautifully presented but lacked flavour. They have a wonderful drinks list with loads of fab cocktails. We sat out on the balcony in the early evening sun and it was perfect

We found this place by chance and had a delicious dinner here on Saturday night. Service was fantastic too. Highly recommended!

Great experience having dinner at Harbour & Browns. The staff is super friendly, specially the Spanish manager. The restaurant is cosy with nice music and a cool vibe. The food was amazing, we had the ribs , the fish tacos , the prawns skewers and...

Visited for the Prosecco Brunch as our first meal out since lockdown, and we were not disappointed. First of all, great attitude from the staff creating a safe environment in such difficult circumstances. Limitations around the menu and service due to COVID (such as limited...

Last minute trip to Whapping Wharf and lucked out getting a table here. All of our choices were absolutely delicious and I would definitely go back. Staff were very lovely too which always makes the difference.

What a great find! We went here tonight for dinner and it was stunning. The flavours and textures of the dishes we ate were delicious. Really nice to eat at a modern British tapas, with locally sourced food, in such a quirky setting, just such...

Exploring the area while on holiday, and popped in for traditional Sunday lunch. Great service, saw the chef putting the meals together right in front of us. Delicious, wholesome food created with care and nice respite from cold, wet weather outside.

This was a great find. Tapas style restaurant with brilliant dishes such as mushroom Wellington, Thai fishcakes, broccoli pakora make this a brilliant small restaurant to visit

Interesting menu via small plates - confused as to whether tapas or mains was being offered though? Great service via the attending waiter and, no problem to accommodate genuine GF - our menu selections were adapted accordingly and, DELICIOUS!

Food and wine was excellent, lovely staff and great views! Great in the summer and close to lots of other restaurants and bars

Myself and a friend came here and shared the olives (very tasty) and 4 dishes between us. The beef croquettes were nice with a sweet bourbon sauce. The prawns with mango were tasty. The baked camembert was probably the highlight but I was disappointed with...

At first we walked past as the place was empty whilst others nearby looked more popular. Looked on TripAdviser and persuaded by the good reviews. Really please we changed our minds as the food is excellent. A good voice of staters the jackfruit was amazing....

The food was great for a mid week meal that made us feel like it was the weekend! Relaxed, friendly and the food was beautiful.

Many thanks to Josh and the team who made my daughter’s 21st birthday really special. Cocktails, 3 course brunch, bottomless Prosecco and friendly service all made for a winning combination. The sea container venue and harbour view added to the great atmosphere.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon, a large party were already in situ. The attention of all of the staff was not effected, in fact they made extra effort to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing, the Prosecco obviously was...

We had great friendly service, and really enjoyed the food. The starters and the main courses were great, but the highlight must be the donuts!

Harbour & Browns served a delectable Sunday roast. The service was superb as well as the restaurant was very classy. Overall, an amazing experience.

We had an amazing afternoon here! The food was divine & the Prosecco was truly bottomless! Attentive and super friendly.. our every wish was granted!

Lovely restaurant with views across the harbour, they have made clever use of the small space, making it light and modern. Can’t fault the roast (I had veggie option, friends enjoyed pork and beef), perfectly cooked, good portion size and fair price. Service good also...

Ate here yesterday for bottomless brunch. Harbour and Browns is a small, modern shipping container style restaurant with a nice view over the harbour and some outdoor seating too. Firstly the prosecco was very attentively topped up so off to a great start. Friendly service....

This restaurant sits alongside a number of other establishments in converted containers which makes the whole experience quirky. It also means if not booked at busy times you will be unlikely to get in and that means you will miss out on one of the...

5 star brunch, delicious food, bottomless prosecco kept flowing and we didn’t need to ask for our glasses to be topped up! Reasonably priced for the high standard food and service we received. Thank you Harbour & Browns!

Wonderful quality roasts (beef and vegan option). Can’t give more than three stars though unfortunately.... I was told I could have a gluten free version of the beef roast and that it just would come without a Yorkshire. When it arrived I was told I...

My Fiancé and her family wanted to try Harbour & Browns for their tapas menu, unfortunately it was Sunday and only the roast menu was available. Disappointment was felt by everyone but we decided to stay and give it a try anyway. What truly great...

Gorgeous little place with food to match. Great evening with attentive service but not overbearing, and a well executed menu

Booked a table of eight for my son's 18th birthday. Had to ensure that dietary requirements were covered and after communication with Josh was reassured. Food was good, service was attentive. Two large parties in at the same time, no great issues. Would love to...

Went for brunch with 8 of us. Could t fault anything, the food was really good and the service was really attentive but not overbearing. The prosecco is literally bottomless too! Really nice environment and we all had a great time, would highly reccomend and...

Enjoyed bottomless brunch. Endless prosecco served by attentive waiter. Food sublime, starter and pyd both delicious and interesting mains choices, I recommend the fish simply scrumptious. Imtimate and trendy atmosphere. Booking a must

My fiance and I have visited Harbour & Browns twice previously and very much enjoyed food here, so were extremely disappointed by our recent experience on a Saturday evening. Firstly, we arrived at 7.30 and despite the restaurant only stating to open at 6 on...

This restaurant hosted my daughter’s 21st party on the 11th Feb 19. The food was fantastic and the service on the day and during the planning period was second to none.the atmosphere was wonderful and location quite special along with the experience.I am sure her...

Came in with my girlfriend for the first time. Amazingly friendly staff unbelievable roast and super cozy atmosphere. As a worker in the hospitality industry myself I couldn't recommend this place more. They got everything right for us. Thanks guys!

First visit to this restaurant, had a really good experience , food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely return.

On a cold Thursday lunchtime my guest and I came here. The food was just about OK although both hamburgers were desperately overcooked despite my guest asking for hers to be as rare as possible. The (shared) first course (something deepfried) was fine. We had...

Really nice cosy feel with friendly staff. Food was fantastic. Excellent knowledge of their menu. Donuts were to die for!!

I’ve just visited H&B for the third time and I honestly cannot fault a single thing. The food and the service is 5* and I will be going back ASAP. I have been twice for a Sunday roast and had the vegan and beef options...

Visited today for lunch. The menu looked imaginative so we gave it a try. We weren't disappointed. The staff were friendly and professional. Food was exceptional for both vegetarians and meat eaters. Good drinks selection. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend.

This is a nice mix of different countries food. Enjoyed the lamb and wife enjoyed the chicken. The cakes are very tasty too. Food was very good. Staff are friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. Shall go again.

I came here with my partner for an impromptu Saturday brunch while we strolled around the area. The place is a cozy, well kept cargo container in Wapping Wharf, and it was quite busy when we walked in. I had the elderflower sprtiz, refreshing and...

My colleagues and I came here for a Christmas lunch, and all agreed it was some of the best food we'd had. Beautifully presented, delicious quality and flavours, but not over complicated. The service was good without being too much, and overall it was good...

Booked off TripAdvisor reviews. The punt paid off. The service was top notch with advice and detail on wine and food excellent. The food itself melted in the mouth. When you arrive it seems a little odd being a cargo container in a previous life...

Wrote a review earlier extolling the Sunday lunch we had here but only hit the one star button. Should have been 5 stars!!

What a great find in whapping wharf. We had some great cocktails to start with olives and chorizo. The croquette starter was probably the tastiest starter we’ve had. The mains were just as delicious. Fab friendly service in a lovely setting. Will defiantly be going...

Friendly little place, interesting menu, nice selection of drinks, and GREAT food - loved it! Can definitely recommend!

We booked for a quiet meal with friends on a Saturday evening and were not disappointed. The menu is limited and changes weekly, so may not be not suited to more fussy diners who prefer a larger variety of choice, however you should not let...

Out first visit to the container cuisine on the Harbourside proved to be a great choice. Served by Ollie who was friendly and very smiley, four of us chose to share the short rib option which was melt in the mouth. We all commented on...

We ate at Harbour & Browns a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. The food was as good as you’ll find anywhere in Bristol. I’d particularly recommend the fish tacos. The service was also really good - the perfect mixture of...

Went with a friend on a wet windy Saturday afternoon, food was amazing , which having been to Brace and Browns was to be expected , only issue for us was being sat right by the sliding door, people going in and out for ciggies...

We hadn’t booked but managed to find a table on a Thursday night . Food was excellent and I would recommend the burger with goats cheese and the short rib . The beef is only part of the rib and slow cooked on the bone...

Delicious food and excellent service! Everything was cooked to perfection and the staff were brilliant. I would definitely recommend a visit to this lovely little restaurant at Cargo Bristol.

The best food I’ve eaten for a very long time. Never having been to Bristol, we were told about Cargo, with its numerous choice of restaurants (none chain). After being spoilt for choice we decided on Harbour & Browns - luckily we were early because...

Great food - well cooked and beautifully presented, the chips have to be some of the best i've ever had out in a restaurant id go back just for them!!, Cocktails look and taste great, service was spot on and all for a reasonable price....

Came here for a friend's hen do and we did a bottomless brunch. I've been to a lot of bottomless brunches and the staff here were by far the best on topping up our drinks. We had 3 courses in total and all were delicious....

This is another of my regular haunts that never fails to put a smile on my face. Upstairs in Cargo 2 with great views of the harbour, I love the relaxed atmosphere here. The menu is concise but always delicious. The seasonal, fresh ingredients are...

We took a party of French visitors (26 of us all together). The food was delicious and the service excellent. My teenage granddaughter said it was the best burger she'd ever tasted!

Had a great evening here, Food was excellent, waiters very pleasant . Would definitely return! And all produced in such a tiny kitchen.

A sunny evening meal with my wife and mum. The menu was not too long - 5 or so options for starter, main, dessert with pre-starter appetiser options. We chose to share bacalhau bites, and some cauli/broccoli/mozzarella fritters (tarragon mayo). Both great. Hot and quick...

The food here was beautiful. The fish tacos were so full of flavour, and the Parmesan hand cut chips were delightful. You absolutely must get the doughnuts of visiting - a great flavoursome experience! Great staff and venue, would return in a heart beat.

We stopped by on off chance and managed to persuade the serving staff that they did have a free table for three. So glad we did....the short rib are divine, you know when fat melts in your mouth...cheesy chips superb, baked Camembert with cranberries a...

We really enjoy Harbour and Browns. The food is consistently good, we're a big fan of the rib of beef which is always succulent and flavoursome. The service is friendly and prompt. The only downside is that when there are large groups in the restaurant...

That's my overriding memory, dry. The short rib was a major dissapointment, I'm amazed other people rate it, where's the sauce? You get a sticky sweet thing with it but I mean a cooking sauce, where's it gone? Such a waste to cook a piece...

5 of us went today for the bottomless brunch. The food was amazing, the service was superb with the prosecco flowing. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for the best start to the day.😊

Came here with a friend on a lazy Saturday morning to enjoy the sun. We had the bottomless brunch which is superb. Delicious starters, your choice of mains and a lovely little dessert all while constantly being topped up with fizz. The food was delicious,...

I went there recently with some work colleagues for dinner and the food and service were excellent! make sure you book for a larger group as this place is tiny, which makes it very cute and cosy.there are probably only 20-25 seats top. we decided...

Just caught a table on a busy and thundery night in Bristol. Amazing burger, seafood taco and ribs. So recommended.

Excellent quality burger and great chips from an interesting menu. Plenty of food. Well worth a visit!

Having never managed to get myself to Brace and Brown's I'm glad they've opened a restaurant at this end of town. This one is very clean and modern and works well as part of the Cargo set up. The food is delicious and decadent -...
