Muino in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Muiño is an excellent place to have a great meal, From the moment I walked in the door I was well looked after by both Matt and Olive who go out of their way to create a warm friendly atmosphere. The food is to die for and you would be hard pressed to find anywhere with a better experience. Thanks to Matt, Olive and all their support staff in the kitchen for making such a memorable evening, I highly recommend Muiño to anyone looking for a great meal and a good night out.

Absolutely amazing. We love tapas and this place exceeding our expectations. The food was fresh, good quality and delicious. Highly recommend the hake!

Well describing this as tapas is an understatement. Every dish was phenomenal and staff were very attentive. What a special place. These guys really understand flavours. They have a small menu and do it all really well.

very nice, cosy little restaurant, located in a pleasant spot. all food was good, if, i have to say, a little over salty for some dishes (fortunately it served as a reminder that i hadn't taken my blood pressure tablet, otherwise i'd have forgotten!). harissa chicken was the highlight for me.

Amazing, tasty food and Alex took great care of me and my friends. Was a very comfortable environment, nice and relaxed dinner.

Highly recommend! Delicious tapas sharing plates, and welcoming and efficient service. We went for a Valentine’s meal, and the food did not disappoint. The cod was DELICIOUS! Every plate went down a treat, I will most definitely be back again. (We had the pork belly, plaice, crispy potatoes, cod, beetroot, focaccia bread with jamón butter, and croquettes) 👌

We lunched well at this small and informal restaurant serving Spanish food in sharing portions in Clifton. The food is tasty and appropriately seasonal, the wine well chosen, the service friendly, and the prices reasonable.

Such a pleasant and thriving restaurant, For a Saturday evening it was busy yet had an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. The staff were really friendly, welcoming and attentive the whole time! The menu is plentiful with various dishes, they were all delicious and beautifully presented , it would be hard to pick a favourite. The prawns, cod and belly of pork are just a few to mention! I really recommend Muino for a great dining experience, Thank you for a lovely visit, will definitely be back !

From start to finish everything about Muino was fantastic. We had one of every dish and each was cooked perfectly and packed full of flavour. Service was attentive. Our wine paired well too. Muino is a gem within the Cotham Hill community and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for great food in the area.

Nice atmosphere, good food, very good value. Favourites were the pork belly and prawns but there was nothing that we didn’t like. We’ll definitely be back soon

It was my Son’s birthday anniversary, so we treated him to a meal at this, his most favourite, restaurant. For my Partner and I, plus (on such occasions) my Son, it is always such a pleasure to visit here; regardless of the time of year, or the time of day. On this occasion, however, we decided to dine at lunchtime rather than in the evening; as mid-November days are mostly cheerless and damp, there is daylight however. That is a plus: as the dark, cold evenings at this time of year make lunch far-the-best option for us. Our reservation was for 12:15 and we were the first dining party to arrive. Owner, Alex, welcomed us having recognised us from several previous visits here. We were seated on a table that looked out onto the street; this is better for people-watching, and there is always a steady, and very diverse, flow of folk to watch here in Cotham. We quickly chose our wine: a bottle of Cascata Vinho Verde (the same great wine as we usually order) and also a litre of tap water, of which we had a second bottle during our meal. Starters were chosen (all shared between us): ‘Sourdough Focaccia’, with rosemary, sea salt, and Arbequina olive oil: very pleasant with a good serving of untoasted focaccia. The oil was very light and said to be a “sweet, grassy oil with a punchy acidity and a peppery finish”; I can’t say I particularly agree, but there-again, with it accompanying a salted herby bread, it was unlikely I could be so discerning. ‘Grilled Focaccia’, with homemade jamon butter: fantastic taste and texture, and just a superb starter which we all could have ordered and enjoyed to excess; if we had only a modest meal to follow. We knew that we had a lot of fine plates to follow, and we really didn’t need the extra carbs, no matter how great they were. The jamon butter texture was similar to a pâté. There was plenty, so we enjoyed some with the plain focaccia. Main plates were separately chosen by us all: ‘Triple Cooked Potatoes’, with confit garlic, Rosemary salt, and roasted garlic aioli (2 servings but shared between us). Just a fantastic texture combination with very crispy chunks of potato cooked until golden and crispy, but with a soft and fluffy middle in the larger pieces. This was finger-food, to dip into the wonderful aioli; the latter dusted with (I guess) milled red chilli. ‘Harissa Marinated Chicken Thigh Skewers’, with brown butter, Harissa, and mint yoghurt (3 servings, 1 each). Probably collectively our most-favourite plate. Just superb: being an incredibly soft and juicy meat. The Harissa gave a satisfying tangy heat, which was wonderfully balanced by the mint yoghurt. ‘Pressed Pork Belly’, with roast onion purée, rhubarb compote, and red wine jus. My Partner wisely chose this and from the small taste I accepted, I would say that I made a big mistake in not ordering this plate for myself. The meat wasn’t ‘cooked-to-death’ as often is the case with crispy pork dishes. The outer layer was firm and the fat was crispy without being overly greasy. The inner layer of the pork yielded; giving a great overall texture. The onion purée and rich rhubarb compote provided a great foil, and the red wine jus was sublime. Yes definitely my mistake; next time this will be my ‘go-to plate’ with the chicken skewers and the … ‘Braised Ox Cheeks’, with celeriac purée, Chimichurri toasted pine nuts, and crispy sage (a plate for myself). I love beef cheeks and have no qualms about eating meat, from an animal’s mouth (after all most meatatarians eat bacon … and you know where that comes from!) Wonderfully tender, and real ‘melt in the mouth stuff’. Uh-oh … two puns in the same paragraph! The celeriac purée didn’t do a lot for me really, but the ‘Chimichurri’ (parsley, garlic, olive oil, oregano, red pepper, all steeped in red wine vinegar) was a good accompaniment. ‘Oven Roasted Cod’, with Basil pomme puree, chorizo braised leeks and pickled salsify (2 servings for my Son and myself). My Son really complimented this plate, but it was not that great for me. Yes, the fish was beautifully cooked and flaked well, and it was moist and delicate. The salsify worked too but, for me the plate was a bit plain; being totally unlike all the other main plates. The other plates had glorious and complex flavours, and really excited my palate, this just didn’t. Sorry to be negative, but I am used to such brilliant plates of food here, and this just wasn’t. ‘Oven Roasted Mackerel Fillet’, with Chermoula, and grilled lemon (for my Partner). My Partner really enjoyed this plate; such a bold flavour in the mackerel, with the North African Chermoula marinade, the latter being a similar taste to Chimichurri. The fish was beautifully cooked, retaining its moisture and flavour of the sea. Dessert were chosen by all of us: ‘Affogato’ with vanilla ice cream, and expresso for my Son … well it is his favourite light dessert, and why not? You can’t go far wrong with a good vanilla ice cream with good coffee. ‘White Chocolate Cheesecake’, with passion fruit, and honeycomb for my Partner, and much enjoyed it was. Cheesecake is a firm favourite for my Partner and this just did not disappoint, especially with the flavour of passion fruit, and the sweetness and texture of honeycomb. ‘Dark Chocolate and Orange Torte’, with orange Chantilly cream, and hazelnut praline for myself. I had imagined a delicate biscuity pastry filled with a dense chocolate sauce. That is how I described it to my Partner prior to ordering; but nothing of the sort! This was full-on sublime dark chocolate mousse in a slice, no pastry just a baked mousse, and it was fabulous. My Partner was green with envy, and although not admitted, so was my Son. Oops!! Another very fine meal, engagingly served with panache.

Great food, great service. All the dishes we tried were excellent and the service was really friendly and efficient. We were well looked after. We’ll be back!

We really enjoyed an impromptu meal out in this fantastic little tapas bar. Food, service & atmosphere were all on point and we will be back again next time we are in the area.

A disappointment this time. A fw months back, it was 5* plus; this time, 3.5. Why? The menu is seasonal and this month's choice was not exactly my taste (that, of course, is my problem, not the restaurant's fault). But the peppers were oversalted, the pig's cheeks lacking in flavour and texture; only the butternut was really something I would order again. It was also really noisy and we could not have a decent conversation. I will give them another chance and perhaps will return to my 5* opinion soon.

Very attentive and friendly waiter, very quick delivery of food once ordered. We ordered the two dip starter (absolutely delicious) followed by 4 or 5 small plates between two of us which was more than enough. Every dish was delicious, from the rustic chunky triple-cooked potatoes and aioli to the extremely delicate and refined roast cod loin on basil pomme puree. The figs, harissa chicken and jamon croquetas were all equally fantastic too. Not a bad bite to be had, excellent quality and standard of cooking on every plate. We will definitely be back for more!

WOW, literally just ate here and we all loved the food. We ordered 8 plates between us and are all full and happy. We will definitely be coming back. Service was a 10/10 Food 10/10 too. Such a lovely place. ♥️
