Fabulous lunch. Best toastie ever - pulled pork gherkins cheese and mustard! Also amazing waffles with apples, ice cream etc. great service and great venue. Go guys!!

Poor service. 4 people behind the bar 3 were doing nothing. Long queue only to be told they were only doing one section of the menu which was on all the tables. We walked out and they didn’t care.

Breakfast was cold and expensive

Got a really good classic ham and egg sandwich

-Popped by for drinks -Friendly staff -Plenty of vegan wine -Nice decor -Cosy

Lovely staff, the worst full English I’ve ever had.

Went with a group of friends on a Friday night. The bar staff were great. But the bouncer came and asked us to be quiet. We were not drunk or raucous at all. It felt very strange to be singled out like that, so we moved on. Edit! Management contacted me and explained that the security is through a 3rd party and they've passed on my feedback. The bar staff themselves are awesome.

I should have kept walking. I arrived shortly after it opened and wanted to kill time before harbour festival started so opted for a brunch here. I watched tables that arrived after me get their food and drink first, it took 25min for my coffee to come out, and only after I prompted the lady who brought my food (but no cutlery). The £4.85 coffee was OK, and the view across the water was lovely, but the "Many Benny" Eggs Benedict was the worst Benedict I've ever had. The sausage was so dry that it felt like it had been either been reheated or sat under a heat lamp, the muffins texture felt stale and the hollandaise sauce tasted more like congealed melted butter. Finished with some onion seeds for decor but totally lacked in taste. Definitely not worth the £14 price tag. It's like this place tried to follow the Lounge cafe model in their design, but with a new Lounge opening just 100m further along the harbour I think they'll struggle to compete with their lower prices and consistent quality (I had a look at their menu on my way back and they're £4 cheaper). Up your standards to meet your prices or lose customers.

The most amazing and kind staff. Offered us chips as an apology for the long wait. After 50 minutes of waiting for the food, it was cold and disappointing. Would not recommend.

Hen do party for the morning after Amazing service Phenomenal food. Sadly didn't catch staff names. But they were phenomenal Prepared for large groups, paying seperately and ordering at the bar.

Lovely food and a really nice vibe. Sarah was very friendly

Really good food, really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Sara in particular was really accommodating and friendly. Would definitely came again :)

Love this place! Visited on multiple occasions for drinks and food and am never disappointed. They also host live music events which are always great!

No. 1 Harbourside has a relaxed, casual atmosphere, with a variety of seating options inside and outdoors and a friendly and helpful staff. It is a great option for meeting your mates or taking in the heart of Bristol. The Truffle and Mushroom Beef Burger was a mouthful, and equally delicious.

We called in for a bite to eat at lunchtime and were so pleased that we did. The staff were all really friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious! We all had toasties and were pleased to have a choice of chips or salad (many other places are chips with everything). I had a roasted vegetable toastie which was very tasty. My companions both chose the classic ham & cheese and these also went down well. Tasty toasties! The thing I also loved was the commitment to using local, seasonal produce, which not only tastes good but is so much better for the environment. We’ll definitely be back.

great food and drinks and staff are lovely :) 💕

Excellent service, staff are firendly and polite and the food and drinks are fantastic

Really friendly staff and a great atmosphere, had a fantastic meal and drinks there recently, 11/10, thoroughly recommend

lovely venue and staff were great!

Popped in for some brunch one Saturday. Had the full Bristol. Portion sizes are great and the food was equally as great. Staff were very accommodating with my egg allergy and made sure my food didn't come in contact with eggs or had any on the plate. Really great location and atmosphere. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back.

Great location for having a casual drink or food in the evening with a cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Rate very much

Waited half an hour before asking the bar for an update on the full Bristol breakfast, told 5-10 minutes. Waiting another 15 minutes, asked Aaron the manager and was abruptly told “we’re busy” with no apology.

Umami burger (vegetarian) with fries was good. Friendly service. View on the water

Food not what it used to be. Shame cos I used to really rate this place. Particularly disappointing brownie. So dry.

Great location and bar but you need to work on three things... Firstly, if there are three staff members behind the bar, stop your conversation (even if it's about work) and serve the customer! Secondly, if you're going to charge nearly £20 for a burger - don't serve a child's portion. Small bun and chips is fine, if there's a side of salad or coleslaw. Thirdly, clean the gents toilets - they stink!

I found a dead fly in my burger, luckily before I started eating. I took it back and the staff did not even apologise, they did give me another one but didn't offer me anything or seem to care about this. I used to come here for food, drinks and the atmosphere as well as to support a local business but needless to say I'll never come here again.

Popped in for a pre gig drink, place looking a bit tired these days but still a nice relaxing place. Good selection of beers from local breweries. Can't comment on food as we didn't eat there. What we saw coming out was mainly burgers.

Bar by the harbour, good range of drinks

Food quality has gone downhill in recent years. Used to have really good Buddah bowls and salad, now it's mostly burgers. Last visit the good service was rather slow (30+ mins for food)

Just had beers outside but the staff were V friendly, helpful & gave us tastes of various beers.

I drink here often enough but this was my first time getting food, because I had a voucher from the quiz. The burger was really good but the chips were awful, stale and cold. The food also took a long time to come and when it finally arrived (after my asking) no apology was made. Service and chips both need improving especially at £18 for a burger.

Great place if you wanted to order exactly 4 chicken nuggets for £8.50

Ordered breakfast at 11:15, food did not arrive until after 12. The college green vegetarian breakfast is already somewhat lacking as there are no veggie sausages on offer which was disappointing. It was however supposed to come with hummus and tomato, it didn’t. The beans are supposed to be homemade but didn’t appear to be any different to what comes out of a tin…. the ‘hash brown’ is more like a rosti. After a long wait, this was somewhat underwhelming, especially considering it is only £1 cheaper than the meaty breakfast. I’m glad I didn’t spend an extra £1.50 on an additional slice of toast or egg…!

£8.80 for a warm glass of box wine.....nah man, stinking behaviour. Plus the women's toilets were a travesty.

Just bad quality food really. Croque Monsieur with a tiny sliver of ham in it overpowered by way too much mustard, and poor quality 'beschamel', which was just half melted cheese. The toasties were not fully toasted. My friend ordered "the Goat "toastie which was, unfortunately whilst sounding nice on the menu, pretty vile. The spinach in it had been overcooked to death and was stringy and texturally gross. I was going to take it home as thought my friend was being fussy but after trying it, I really didn't want any more. We unfortunately didn't receive any check on our food at all. I went to the bar and mentioned that my friend didn't like it, had barely touched it, but unfortunately nothing was offered. So I ended up spending another 12.50 buying an eggs royale for my friend so they could eat. The eggs royale was spot on. All in all, felt something could have been done or offered, the food should should have been much, much better for the prices they charge. Maybe I should have kicked up more of a fuss but in the end I just wanted to leave and unfortunately, in more ways than one, left with a bad taste in my mouth.

Very busy on lights festival night. Our food came out in reasonable time .sadly Our cheese burgers were very bland and dry /overcooked .. The fries were awful ; frozen and not freshly cooked and obviously had been kept warm for ages. They were like damp cardboard. If you are so busy why are you not serving freshly cooked chips? No excuse. Toilets dirty shabby and horrible. When we told the waitress our chips were like cardboard , she just mumbled sorry and cleared the table. All image and no substance . Relying on its location . Avoid

I always recommend this place to people whenever they’re looking for something in Bristol for food or drinks. However, this time i was very disappointed. I ordered a veggie burger and a water at the bar where someone gave me can of water. Took it back to the table and there was black dirt all over the can so i took it back to swap it for a cleaner one. The same person who served me before said all of the cans are like that and i can swap for something else. I say it doesn’t matter and they clean the top of the can with a dirty looking cloth. As im pouring the drink into my glass im trying to avoid pouring in the black dirt so off to a good start. Next, i start to eat my veggie burger what i think tastes like meat. My friends tastes it and says she thinks it’s definitely meat. A guy comes over and asks if everything was okay and we explain what happened and he goes back to the kitchen. A few minutes later he says there was something of a mix up and apologised. Sometimes these things happen but giving a vegetarian BEEF is a big no no. And dirty cans of water. He offers us a brownie which we decline and offers us 2 free drinks instead. Staff dealt with it but didn’t really seem to be that bothered. Unfortunately won’t be returning or recommending again

£6.50 for a poorly poured, thin as water Guinness. Unfortunately, I would not recommend

A beautiful place that invites you to linger and sip cider.

I think it’s outrageous that a restaurant would have such little confidence in their food standards that they don’t know if a basic breakfast has nuts or shellfish in it. Kitchen couldn’t be bothered to think about it and server didn’t care

Great staff, nice bar, good draught lagers.

I really like this place, good ales on offer and very relaxed inside.

Super chilled atmosphere in the harbour side! Perfect for a pit stop, went for the burger and chips and I was not disappointed. The burger was outrageously good! The chef is truly doing the lord's work, give that man a raise. Front of house staff were friendly and accommodating and I felt right at home the entire time.

Great burgers, staff super friendly even with our large group

Excellent vegan burger, fries are some of the best I ve ever had. Both and a drink for 15 pound is also quite the deal.

Managed to get a table, and glad we did the burgers were amazing and the dirty fries were delicious. If we ever come back to Bristol we will definitely pop in again. Dog friendly Good music Friendly staff

First time for me and my girlfriends, Popped in on the off chance. A nice warm welcome... I'm very fussy with food. However these guys accommodate me very well and executed my requirements amazingly. Great customer service. On a slightly negative tone, the toilets.... bit smelly, this really needs to be addressed. Keep up the good work guys, you're good friendly bunch!! Would definitely recommend and will definitely pop in again when next in the area.

Great little bar/cafe at the waters' edge near the centre of the city. Good choice of craft ales, bottled beers & ciders, decent range of food & pleasant combination of staff & punters. Nice little bolt-hole in the winter, great waterside bar in warmer months.

Nice filling burgers and great beer to wash it down with.

Lovely people great atmosphere! Good for company drinks!

Best chicken burger in Bristol, no lies. Never heard of a Korean chicken burger but omg it was amazing. Just perfect, can’t vouch for the place enough. Friendly staff, and warm atmosphere. 100% coming back

I went after lunch, so the place was very quiet. The burger was good, as was the hot chocolate. Excellent service. I sat outside and watched the canal and people passing by, jugglers and buskers rehearsing for the evening crowd. Nice place.

This place was amazing! Food was served quick and staff were delightful :) Really recommend the vegan burgers, they were delicious!

Love it! Don’t serve cocktails after 10 - so you can get served so much faster, all the bars in Bristol take forever to get served because of cocktails

Thanks to all for a great meal today. There were 6 of us over 3 generations and all came away saying what great food & fab customer service👏👏👏

So polite, booked an hour in advance over the phone super easy, food is reasonably priced for the quality you get!!

Nice to have a chill day having a few beers

Some friends and I came here for lunch along with their 2-year-old little girl. We'd reserved a table (via email or phone, can't book via website or OpenTable) and the service was friendly and attentive, the food was fab and the atmosphere was lovely! Little 'un was well catered for, there's a good kids menu but we ordered something off-menu that was smaller, which the staff were more than happy to do for her. Restaurant provided crayons and some colouring-in options for her, so she was kept entertained. Would recommend to anyone who's not sure where to take a toddler in central Bristol!

Tolles, zentral gelegenes Restaurant mit lokalem Bier und regionaler Küche. Das Bier ist sehr gut und für den kleinen Hunger zwischendurch gibt es auch Angebote. Freundliches Personal und tolles Ambiente.

Great location to meet. Airy with outside seating; live music Sat eve. Loads of vegan/veggie options.

Went here for a breakfast before we made are way home. The food and coffee was very good!! Staff were very good as well.

A large group of us came for brunch, they were really friendly and accommodating. Great to enjoy the harbourside sat outside!

Had a great Latte staff friendly x.

Nice place to stop off and have a few drinks right on the waterfront didn't hav

Had a excellent breakfast here ,staff are friendly, the food isn't instant ,and it isn't a long wait,just long enough to know you've had a fresh prepared meal. Excellent views of the harbour if the weather is nice enough to sit outside. My only slight negative which made me not give 5 stars was the cappuccino. I feel the coffee has decent flavour, but I prefer a more dense frothy cappuccino. Will return again as a thoroughly great location with great food.

Great location along the water. Grab a table and order at the bar. Good to see they're a living wage company. Very nice social atmosphere. Food was great. Had a goats cheese toastie. Slightly let down by a couple rude homeless who also frequent the area as we didn't have any change for them.

THE cool spot in this area. Cool staff. Great music. Laidback athmosphere. Lots of nice beers. Decent diversified people and crowd Rather kind staff. Of course toilets could be better kept…

Right in the middle of the harbourside area so it gets mobbed with hen parties and tourists but there are some good drinks to be had here and it's less trendy and crowded than some of the dreadful places around it. Worth a visit if you are around the harbourside area of the city

Disgusting toilets. Had one drink and left

Cold, small portions of food. Staff didn't care and the place was dirty. We worried it has been plated up.hours before and insufficiently warmed up in the microwave

Ordered ‘The Bristol’ toastie which is sausage, bacon, cheese and onion. Undercooked sausage, the fattiest bacon which had the smallest amount of actual meat to it and due to the cheese being grated it was just unevenly spread on the toastie and somehow not even melted? For £12 I was expecting something a lot better than I received. Very disappointed.

Great place for drink and bite to eat. Friendly staff. Toilets would do with a good clean.

Great bar for drinks nice views over the harbour lovely to watch the sunset with a cider.

Bern here before loads of times and food and service has been good. This time chips were frozen out of a bag even though charged £4 for hand cut chips. One star is for the assumed manager telling us with a smirk that there was a person cutting the chips by hand as we spoke (on a busy Friday night I don't think so). Not good to be fobbed off mate.

Please do not waste your time or money ! The staff could not get any slower ! Waited over 1 hour for poached eggs ! Food terrible and cold , over priced ! Drinks cold , completely diabolical !!!

Staff were well meaning, but just couldn't get anything right. Poached eggs were overdone and the food wasn't the warmest when it came out. Mushrooms were also sliced to within an inch of their lives and very soggy. Most people in our group had random items included or missing from their orders. A complete loss of control by the kitchen. Other than that the food and coffees weren't too bad.

Not interested in service. Felt I was interrupting her conversation with the other 6 staff members that were standing around doing nothing.

Only had drinks here but staff were quick and friendly

This place is just awful. From the staff to the food. 🙈 Sat outside with my husband and sons and from the outset it looked lovely. Went in to order food. Something was right with the till so the girl took my order (part of) had to ask someone else working there for help. He asked me what a wanted- again. He was unsure, went to get someone else. I was asked again what I wanted to order. After a long 20 mins of trying to order we finally got there. Eventually the food came out. 2 toasties. The man said ‘anything else’ to which I replied- yes, the rest of us. 15 minutes later he came out to say it hadn’t gone through the till and they’ve just started cooking it. Eventually came out and goodness me. Disgusting. Everything seemed so unclean firstly. One meal had an eyelash in it. The hash browns looks more like squares of burnt stuffing. The spinach was soaking wet, mushrooms tasted like they had been sat in a pan with old oil for an age. Poached egg solid in the middle, sausage grizzly and pink inside. Just awful. I spoke to a member of staff as most of the food was left and he agreed to give me £20 refund. However, this didn’t come without its awkwardness of staff staring, whispering, nudging each other. Very unprofessional. I won’t return and I’m sorry I can not recommend.

Good pub, seating outside is a little rickety and tight together but some great beers on tap at reasonable enough prices for fancied up IPAs etc (5-6.50£). Also nice they have some gluten-free ales!

Amazing burger and chips. My son was in heaven. Perfect for pre theatre food and people watching. Lovely staff, really friendly.

The place is fine, but for the price it could have been a little better. The food was a little over cooked and the service slow, however the staff were very friendly.

Stopped here for brunch, due to the location which is 5* Unfortunately the food does not match the location, I had the worse tasting toastie I have ever tried. 'The Bristol' which is simply Cheese, Bacon, Sausage & Onion should be a winner but it was far from.. under cooked sausage, over bearing Cheddar, a mountain of onion and minimal bacon. A huge portion of salad just slopped to the side. My friend had the Eggs Florentine, although an improvement on the Bristol, was again very average not living to the price or location of the restaurant. If the food matched the location, decor & price undoubtedly would be a great spot, unfortunately leaves a lot to desire.

Great spot for a casual drink or bite to eat. Always a good atmosphere and a good choice of local drinks (Cider and Beer)

Don't eat here! After getting our orders wrong we had 2 tepid mochas, an acceptable flat white and an edible croque monsieur. But the brunches were dreadful. They tasted warmed up in the microwave. You know the taste of old fried garlic? That was in the mushrooms. The poached egg must have been precooked and warmed and the "hash brown" was indeed brown and crunchy on the outside but grey on the inside and was reheated not fresh. The sourdough was tiny and the sausage tasted off. The spinach and cabbage were unadorned. We were celebrating so didn't want to spoil the mood by complaining but £50 for this was unacceptable. Environmental Health should go there. It may be coincidence but I had a v bad stomach an hour later and my daughter was nauseous for about 2 hours (it was a v hot day but the food was so bad,). Service appeared unconcerned throughout.

Only had a drink average bar good location next to harbour

The full Bristol was disappointing...... The taste of the food was not nice and very overpriced for what it was.

Staff was rude, food took too long to arrive. We was waiting over 45mins for our food so we asked for a refund and left. Over priced, my partner and I ordered an apple juice and was charged £4.20. The carton it came from was £2.75 from the local corner shop. My sister and her boyfriend’s food was dry and he didn’t eat it. They couldn’t blame that they were under staffed as they weren’t. There was only a few tables ordering. If your looking to be disappointed, go to the No.1 harbourside

The lady recommended us a type of beer and when I tried it It wasn’t nice at all so I ask them if they can change it for me and they said they are not going to change it and we have to pay again and it is what it is. Rudeeee!

Drinks before a meal elsewhere. Friendly staff, quiet enough to be able to talk. We'll go again.

Toss! Didn't seem like anyone had a clue what was going on. Pretty poor service in terms of communication. Took an hour to get our food and one of them was a sandwich. Sandwich came and there was no salad on it which was advertised in the menu. When we asked they said they had ran out but didn't really bother to explain that when it arrived or before just seemed like they were all winging it. Full breakfast looked microwaved it wasn't nice. We went on a Sunday and you're better off getting food from the food market across the road which would be nicer, cheaper and quicker than this place. Overall I wouldn't recommend.

Food was ok(so I thought)had the eggs florentine didn't agree with me as a few hours later I was feeling unwell..The others seem to enjoy their toasted sandwiches and they were ok..

Waffle was terrible. The worst waffle i've ever eaten. Food variety was very less.

There's lots to like about this place, but it can be noisy. Not least when they have a band! Nice and near the centre so it's easy to stop here, but do check out the other places along.the water front too.

Nice relaxed place for a beer...even on a Saturday night

Ordered a mango cider paid £5.95 and was “poured” something than came from a box sat on the side of the bar. It was completely flat and was more like squash than cider. I explained it was flat and not enjoyable and asked if I could swap it for a any other cider, I was told it was my fault for ordering it (nowhere on the sign did it say flat, warm and poured from a box), they weren’t going to give me a free drink and if I wanted another cider to pay for one. So rude for no reason and borderline aggressive response. My pint was still full when I took it back up to the bar! A friend ordered the “Ruby cider” and it was flat, warm and also poured out a box. Didn’t order another drink and left. Unbelievable, obviously they know something if wrong with their product if that’s the response.

Service was a bit slow but was a sunday am

Enjoyed a full Bristol breakfast, cappuccino etc here. The cappuccino was great, the food was good, and the service could improve slightly. Servers didn't know some things about the menu and when asked for water, were given vague information about it being self service but otherwise a good experience.

OK food and atmosphere, but staff are awful. Disinterested and slow. Don't recommend if you expect half good service and treatment
