This was the first time I had ever used the IKEA restaurant. I queued for 25 minutes. There were 2 servers. The first put the meatballs on your plate, carried it to the second server and told him the wrong additional items (chips/mash/peas etc). The second server asked what I wanted and the first server repeated my answer. I was surprised one of them didn’t accompany me to the till to explain what I had on my plate. The food was ultra processed and tasteless. Never again.

I recently visited the IKEA restaurant in Bristol for brunch, and overall, it was a good experience. We tried a variety of dishes, including fish and chips, muffins, onion rings, pasta, and tomato soup. The standout dish for me was definitely the **fish and chips**—crispy, fresh, and delicious, making it the highlight of the meal. The rest of the food was also quite tasty and affordable, which is always a plus when dining at IKEA. However, being the weekend, the restaurant was very crowded, and the atmosphere was quite noisy. It felt a bit overwhelming at times, especially with the self-service setup and the large number of people around. I imagine that on weekdays, when the crowd is smaller, the experience would be more relaxed and enjoyable. Despite the noise and crowds, the food quality remained high, and the value for money was great. The service was standard, given the self-service model, but it did feel a bit chaotic due to the crowd. The layout of the restaurant is open, which adds to the busy feel, but the food more than made up for it. I would definitely recommend visiting on a quieter day, as the food and affordability make it a solid choice.

45 minutes to Que up for food that has really gone downhill. Very limited choice this evening and the apple cake was just full of water. Not going to eat here again, definitely not worth the 45 minute wait. The staff were friendly even after a 9 hour shift.

too much time in a queue about 30 minutes, only one side serving on a Saturday, with one attendant at the counter and one at the cashier, very bad indeed

We used to love coming to IKEA for the food but no longer. The pasta was literally served with about a glass full of water (see photos). The chips were mediocre, the queues very slow (both sides open but just slow) and difficult to see if tables are free round the corner. The meatballs, mash and peas were ok and prices not extreme but the pasta was inexcusable.

Got the vegetarian sweedish meatballs with mash, peas and gravy. Very good value for money, gravy and mash were really good, but meatballs were a bit dry.

IKEA used to be half decent for food and where it lacked in quality it was excellent on price. Not any more, the food prices have gone up whilst the food has nosedived. The kids fish fingers were bland, rubbery and tasted like they’d been there since the morning. The meatballs weren’t what they used to be. The queues to get the food were ridiculous, why is only one side ever opened at peak times? The restaurant was dirty, tables weren’t being cleaned, the food was considerably more costly than before.

get a bloody separate queue for new parents with babies. it wasn't nice seeing a new mother struggling so much standing in the queue. I did contact your staff, they both looked from a distance and said she looks fine. Yes, blind-dumbo, she is fine, fine for the child.

The view on the window was great and the meatballs, jam, chips, and mash potatoes was lovely. But there was some weird drinks and not much options and every time I come the is at least one drink machine broken.

The breakfast was not the best but it was cheap, the sausages and bacon could have been cooked a bit longer as it was still a bit pink

The restaurant at Ikea Bristol is enormous, when all sections are open. The hot main course menu choice is a little limited, although they always have at least one and sometimes two vegetarian options. Arriving at 12.30 we, perhaps understandably, had to wait a while to be served. The food was fairly wholesome and inexpensive, although it could have done with being hotter. Otherwise all good.

Long queues, no salmon, food cool and only one person on till. Not good.

The ikea cooked English breakfast and vegetarian breakfast must be the dullest most tasteless breakfast I’ve ever eaten. It’s cheap and that’s the only good thing about it. Don’t waste your money.

I recommend pushing to the front of the queue to find out if they have got what food you want, otherwise you can end up queuing for ages and wasting your time. It'll save having a car full of crying grandchildren all the way home. Alternatively they could spend 30 seconds putting I sign up advising the stock issues. But apparently that is too much to expect. As you may be able to tell, I'm a bit annoyed by this!

It's IKEA food, you should know what you're getting into. Massive portions of somewhat bland food at a reasonable price, tasty desserts, and lots of drink options with free refills. Limited food options but you get lots of variations in terms of side and toppings: You want your meatballs with mash and gravy? Chips and gravy? Spaghetti and red sauce? Rice? The servers won't bat an eyelash no matter the combo you come up with. Might be difficult to find a seat during peak hours, but there are endless seats.

Went on a Sunday & had the classic meatballs, lovely. Eating area was pretty clean. Staff were lovely. I was amazed at the number of rude & entitled customers in there, staff must be used to it as they kept their cool.

We have been coming here regularly for 10 years. The food is delicious, the staff is always friendly, sometimes there is a shortage of staff and now there is no vegetarian sausage, but this is all due to Brexit and not IKEA's fault.

Big que for food. Felt really cold in the dinning room as the air conditioning was on. Not really needed for December as it's only 9c outside. My sons fish in bread crumbs was very dry. My mash potatoes were lumpy and also dry. Tasted like instant mash horrible.

Took about 40m of queueing to get served. There was only 2 people serving at the pass on a Sunday afternoon. One kept leaving to go get more plates and stuff from the back. There was no gravy on our counter so they had to cross the pass each time to get gravy. Don't know what the management team are doing but they can't even run a Canteen effectively... Terrible.

Not only has the price gone higher, but the food has shrunk. The kebab wraps should be under the kids menu. Very unjustifiable price for what is essentially a snack.

Very bad service. Order was missing item, noboby bother to call you if you want to swop something else instead. I attached a picture about one of the burger, all 3 of them were the same. It is a complete joke. Order for £66, absolutely disgraceful.

Sitting inside Pizza Top, on the padded bench along the wall, while waiting for your food feels like you could be tucked away in some damp and dingy corner of a late 70's New York. There are no frills, no fancy lighting, the place is tired and worn and the decor has seen better days. I love it. And their pizza's are delicious. They have a pizza base that is unlike anything you will find anywhere else. Its hard to describe. Its light and airy. Its kinda like a thick icecream wafer, but not stiff. Its not like a Dominos base, or Pizza Express base, or anything else I can think of. Its different to anything I can think of and well worth a try. You might be converted. The toppings are delicious. I would recommend their pizzas to anybody. Pizza Top is brill. And if you live close enough to walk in an order, do it, and be transported to another time and place for 10 minutes. Theres nowhere like it.

I have been frequenting the bar since I moved close to the neighbourhood. While no thing can be perfect, the staff here is amazing! The tender named Yashi is the one i encounter the most behind bar and I love her. Great conversation, great service and great drinks. What more can I ask from a bar?
