Noah's in Bristol, City of

Fabulous Fish restaurant. Busy so book. Friendly service.

Superb food, lovely place. It's pricey but top quality fish

Having just experienced the great seafood in Istria the week before l was very impressed with Noahs . The sole for two and the scallops were delicious

The fish was good and it was very nice that we could change chips for the Beartooth. Looking forward to trying more things.

Delicious food. Great staff. Lovely wine.

Superb seafood restaurant in relaxed harbour side setting. Really good value - £50 a head for three courses and a bottle of wine and coffee. Cooking fantastic, and friendly service. Tuna belly confit, grilled sole, excellent chocolate mousse. Lock keepers lunch of fish and chips at £13 a steal.

Great place for fish and chips, highly recommended.

Great fish and chips whether you go fried or grilled. Oyster - delicious. Good wine - if you go French

Delicious hake and perfect chips plus most amazing tartare sauce ever! Great service too

We were a large booking - 18 of us and this was no problem for the restaurant. Staff were fab and food was served quickly to all and tasted amazing! There was also no need to have a set menu or anything given size of the group which was welcomed! Would definitely recommend!

Decent fish,,lovely environment/atmosphere & a great spot for a pre/post lunch walk - although very busy service still good. Definitely one to return to.

We were able to reserve a table at short notice. The food was great and for the children there was a coloring book and excellent children's fish and chips. We would have liked to come back again, but we couldn't get a table.

Beautiful restaurant, really interesting views and atmosphere. Service is excellent. Food is OK. Nothing horrible, nothing WOW. A simple case, of too much cooking. Save some fuel and don't overcook fish. We had stranded battered Cod and Chips. Perfect quantity but dry. I also had Mediterranean Prawns, garlic butter, and bread roll. The roll was beautiful, the prawns over cooked, sent back. Offered scallops as a replacement. Sorry again over cooked.. Plus with the coral despite asking not to include the coral. That's just my taste.. The scallops are obviously not bought whole and put together with frozen meats and shells from wherever. Loved the restaurant and I would go back. It's cheap, total with vino £63. I write reviews all day long. It's worth it everyday, shame it's not for the food. Charge more, increase quality and save the fuel bills, cook it less. Stop reheating battered fish. I know you'll say something different, I do this for a living. Not with this name.

Really nice dishes. We chosed it based on a Guardian article and it was really an amazing choice 👍👍

Took our french friends there for Fish and Chips. First time at Noah’s last night and as always had our fingers crossed when we go for the first time to a restaurant. No need however! It was delicious; the fish was very fresh and cooked perfectly, the batter was light and crisp with excellent chips and mushy peas. I have been eating fish and chips in the UK for 60 years and this is the first that I did not ask for ketchup to with it because it tasted so good! Truly the finest that I have ever eaten, everyone loved the food. The service from Martha and her team was excellent and I even got to meet little Noah (son of the owner-chef who had popped in with his mother and baby sibling to say goodnight to dad 😀) I then had a lovely pot of tea-which of course is the drink of choice to go with. Price point good and their lunchtime deal is very good value for those on a budget.

Good food well cooked, pricey though for what it is. Weirdly loud motorway service station toilet style music on our visit. Slightly strange atmosphere. Mixed.

Famous for the award-winning fish and chips, but actually not limited to that. They really understand how to keep the original taste of seafood (that’s the correct way for cooking fresh things). In addition, every single mussel is carefully cleaned, which you can rarely experienced in other places. Highly recommend the mixed shellfish as starter. Lunch is reasonably affordable. But make sure to book in advance!

A hidden gem in the most unlikely place. Great food and service.

Delicious food and cheery efficient service

Honestly, such a worth while place to go! My partner and I went for dinner on my birthday and I had the best experience. Not only was the food divine, but the service was next level! A massive shout out to Emma, our server, who was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming! I will be recommending this place to everyone I know!

Visited here for the 1st time after flying from/to Bristol and were lucky to get a last-minute reservation. Everything about Noah's were excellent, from the waiting staff to the food and atmosphere. Service were efficient and very friendly. Not the cheapest place to eat but well worth it. If you love your seafood, I would highly recommend Noah's.

Absolutely excellent evening. Great food and friendly service.

Great place for a good value lunch. Good views over the harbour and good service

Three of us turned up on Sunday at 12:15 having not booked, the manager greeted us said they were fully booked but then scanned the bookings and said she could squeeze us in-between two reservations if we could be out by 1;30. We were delighted, accepted her offer and were shown to a table, we had the lunchtime special which was served promptly and was delicious. I cannot recommend the service & food highly enough we will certainly be back....

Best Fish and chips in Bristol by a distance And a lovely location 👏🏻

Batter fry Cod in fish and chips are more tender than I expected,harbour view relax, oyster is good too

Delicious meal with my daughter. I chose here after reading a review in a newspaper. I had the tuna toast then the monkfish, she had fish and chips (with curry sauce) then sticky toffee pudding. The food was excellent. The decor / vibe beautiful and service friendly. Fantastic spot with view of the river and lovely harbour side walk or ferry ride to and from the city centre. We walked out on one side then planned to walk on the other bank back but the 4pm ferry from the Cottage Inn arrived so we hopped on. Just perfect after such a wonderful lunch.

Very nice lunch yesterday. Good service, great food on a busy lunch service. Loved the mussels, cod loin and gorgeous Sticky toffee pudding! Certainly suggest booking in advance. Definitely go! So good. Reason why it's top 3 in the UK.

Excellent value lunch, set menu, perfectly cooked fish and chips. Award winning.

Spotted a review in the paper and booked a visit to Bristol to try. Well worth the effort. Easy online booking which was needed even on a wet Tuesday night. A good choice of fish on the menu but we both went for the mixed fish. Perfectly cooked and served with hand cut chips. A couple of starters and bottle of decent wine the bill was just over £80. Great value for such good quality.

We had an excellent meal this evening. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented and the staff were extremely helpful in adapting our dishes to be dairy free. We highly recommend them and look forward to returning.

Didn't book, and we were lucky to get in. Went whilst in the area on the back of Grace Dent's Guardian review. Only had lunch special (Fish and chips+ mug of Yorkshire tea). Really great value and very nice too.

Booked for Thursday lunch. Super busy! But great service and food. The £12.95 lunch deal offered perfect mussels and fries and the biggest most succulent cod and chips. Excellent value.service impeccable. Only low score as if you have misophonia the echo of people talking is a lot. But overall would encourage people to go there!

Easily the best eat in fish and chips in Bristol. Salt and malt is good too, but they’re so inconsistent, sometimes awful Noah was perfect, so 5*from me

Wonderfully cooked fish, imaginative and fun location. Altogether, awesome!

The lunch special Fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce were delicious fresh and extremely tasty. My only disappointment was no draft lager so £4 for a 330ml Moretti is a bit steep.

Following Grace Dents review, we decided to try this out. It didn’t disappoint. The food was excellent a starter of confit tuna belly on sourdough toast with scallops, mains of Silvermullet and a lock keeper’s lunch of crunchy battered cod fillet, chips, homemade tartare sauce served in a scallop shell, mushy peas. Washed down with white wine and free damm alcohol free beer.

Fantastic food reasonably priced a must visit if you’re in Bristol you will not regret it

Great food and service went twice in a week, tried a lunchtime special great fish and chips batter on fish amazing

Loved it all & as I was alone i was given a lovely corner table very nice !! It's on my favourite place to have my fish & chips...I come all the way from weston super mare to eat at Noahs

Best fish and chips in Bristol. Slightly on the more expensive side but highly worth the cost. Got the Thursday dinner deal which makes it very affordable! Also had an amazing vegetarian options available on request. Will visit again

Everything was fresh and really well cooked. Definitely a plaice😉 to visit.

Visited on Sunday for 1st time and was very impressed with the whole experience. Location quite unique, fab decor and great atmosphere and staff were very friendly and genuinely nice. Food was fabulous, great choice of excellent quality fish at reasonable price. Will definitely return.

We visited last night for the first time. The cod was amazing. The best we have ever tasted 🙌 also great service from the staff 👌 can't wait to revisit and try more from the menu. Thanks Johnny sharon. Hang it picture framing

My partner and I had the mackerel & ray wing (with potato salad and chips respectively). The food was great quality and we're so glad we came. Service was great too! Highly recommended for date nights!

Always great food here. Never disappoints. Staff and management are wonderful. Ambience is great I side and a lovely outdoor seating lunch time menu is great value

The food is delicious and fresh, and the waiters are polite. I brought my friends to eat that day and were very satisfied.

Fantastic fish and chips for the lunch special and sticky toffee pudding was amazing

Best fish and chips I have had in Bristol by a long margin. Fish always tastes really fresh and the chips are excellent. It is expensive on the standard evening menu (though the cheaper lunch deal is very good value) but you feel it is worth it.

Excellent food, atmosphere. Had the scallops and the stingray wings! Amazing! Will highly recommend! Good value for money!

The best sea food and fish I have ever tried in Bristol. The mussels were excellent, fish and chips a whole different level and the half lobster very well priced and again cooked to perfection

Visited Noah's with my partner for a low-key birthday celebration. We opted for a late evening booking. The food and service were excellent. There was a great selection of fish dishes available. The food was really tasty and nicely presented. I would highly recommend a visit to the place if like fish.

Beautiful food, great service, amazing seafood platter for starter, my sole was cooked to perfection, downside was waiting time for our main but the waitress was so kind that we got our drinks for free so all forgiven, but would also like to see more choice of beer/cider/spirits/cocktails as wine list is already extensive. Worth the visit

Had a wonderful time with my family here. Food was delicious

Celebrate my hubby birthday _ It’s 3️⃣best Fish & Chip Restaurant in UK in 2024! And one of @goodfoodguideuk’s Top 100 Local Restaurants🏆 Must try their Fish and Chips (no doubt), you could really taste the quality of fish. But you have to order the #scallops as they just cook perfectly and the herb butter is so good. If you love fish ,you have to try the Ray Wing (鰩魚翅）. The potato salad is good too, the capers just elevate the flavor. What we order👍🏻 - Portland Princess (Dorset) rock oyster aged red wine vinegar, shallots & lemon - Grilled hand dived Orkney Isle scallops, garlic & fresh herb butter. - South coast thornback Ray Wing (Newlyn), romesco, garlic & parsley olive oil, - Noah’s potato salad, shallots, capers, parsley & moscatel dressing. - Strawberry Posset This family run seafood restaurant is really offer great value with high quality food and services. They offer kids free meal in this summer holiday and a unbeatable lunch menu for £12.95 with selected main +course a mug of tea

Come here because of its reputation, one of the top three fish and chips in the UK, a great seafood restaurant. The fish & chips are lightly coated in flour, the fish is fried to a crispy texture, and the thick fries are drizzled with vinegar and have a nice sour taste. The oyster appetizer was fresh and the red onion sauce was just right. The teppanyaki grilled saury is great, topped with garlic + parsley oil, fresh, no fishy smell, very delicious. The restaurant environment is very good. There are many families coming to eat fish and chips, and many elderly people coming to eat. It is a very authentic restaurant. It’s especially popular, and you have to queue up for a while at noon.

Came to Noah's two weeks ago and told the manager the place was a ten out of ten from start to finish great service and fantastic food unfortunately on my 2nd visit today which I was really looking forward to with my wife was a big let down stood in doorway for quite a while before being greeted and once we had sat down outside it felt like quite a while before given menus and asked if we wanted a drink which we ordered two moretti.we sat again for quite a while waiting for order to be taken which the waitress kindly took only to he told 2 minutes later that the crevettes starter was not available so we decided to order 4 lots of the crap cakes only yet again two minutes later same situation has sold out this was very disappointing and frustrating as the first visit the starters were amazing.we orederd the cod and chips and the sardines with potatoes salad.we had main course and left still feeling hungry as we didn't manage to get the starters we desired and was worried if we ordered desert we wouldn't get the one we wanted after the starter situation I'm hoping next time we go it will be a different experience like the first time .

Great value and excellent quality

In my mind, it’s a bit overrated. It wasn’t too busy when we arrived, but we had to wait for 3 min to be seated and then we waited for a menu for 5 more minutes. Scallops and fish and chips were good, but the cod croquettes were way too salty. The waitresses were regularly asking if we’d finished even though we had food on the plates. And only after we left the place I realised that they hadn’t served us tea advertised as a part of lunch we’d paid for. Overall, I wish I’d chosen another place for my birthday lunch.

Fabulous fish and chips. Will be going back for the rest of their menu. Lovely deck for walking

OK, but overpriced for what is fairly average fish and chips. The fish and chips are overrated by others for sure. I enjoyed the meal, but the batter on the fish, and the chips themselves both needed to be crispier. Atmosphere and service both fine. Maybe the other main dishes are better.

Beautiful…we were a party of 10 and everything was perfect The best cod and chips I have ever had…definitely will be returning

Absolutely brilliant! The Monkfish was out of this world!😋❤️

The fish and chips (cod) are a little expensive (£22) but very, very good. The service is impeccable, the waiter is very kind.

Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. Well priced for the quality and quantities

Went to Noahs for the first time yesterday and was really impressed with everything. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive and the food was outstanding. All made better by a stunning evening with the sun setting over Bristol and balloons flying overhead. Will definitely be retirning

Had super meal - mussels - sardines - super bread - grey mullet - skate wing - all beautifully served and very fresh. Delightful wine - all in all a delight

Fabulous restaurant with a lovely chilled ambience, excellent food, attentive staff and very good value.

Freshly cooked fish and chips Nicely presented First visit for us

Nice place to dine , food ok tbh

I heard great things about Noah's so me and my family went for an early dinner on Tuesday 9th April. We had mussels/sardines on toast/scampi starters which were all delicious and well portioned (although I think the mussels could have come with a slice of bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce it came with!) We all had the fish and chips as our main which came with a glass of wine...and I got to say this really did love up to the hype! We all agreed the chips were "proper decent chips", batter was light, crispy and perfection and the tartare sauce was simply glorious! (We did have a little laugh about the parsley decoration being perhaps a little too excessive but that's the only critique we could find!). As tempted as we were for dessert we were just the right amount of full so we decided to skip it this time but we will definitely be trying it next time we visit! The atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff were lovely and friendly. Highly recommend! P.s. I'm definitely going to try the seafood platter next time, I saw another table order it and I was so envious! P.p.s Had dinner again 18/07/24 Still delicious! Had enough room for a Lemon Posset dessert this time and I would definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing! 100% recommend going to Noah's!! Service was absolutely lovely - staff were really friendly and accommodating. The food was so unbelievably tasty, we have already told all our friends and are planning to return ASAP!

Amazing fish restaurant. Fabulous service and atmosphere. Fantastic food. Best fish and chips restaurant in Bristol. Lovely to see the old Lockside site being put to good use. Highly recommend.

Excellent food at very reasonable price!

Good food, nice atmosphere and a friendly staff.

Ate here yesterday for the first time and was the best fish & chips ever.

A meal here with family, and it was all fabulous.

Best mussels and fish ever. Honestly outrageously good. We LOVE it here. Service can be a bit slow but they are nice and the food keeps us coming back time and time again!

For years I've been passing The Scallop Shell in Bath, hoping to go one day. Fast forward a few years and members of the same family rhat own that open up Noahs. From the outside quite unassuming but on reflection it's obvious they specialise in fish and seafood, as the outside is shaped like a boat. Wife and I enjoyed Salt Cod Croquettes, Scallops, Cod & Chips and 1/2 Lobster all of which were served well with a delicious sauce accompanying each one, and dessert was also super tasty. Highly recommend if you like your seafood, and value quality over other aspects. It's not cheap, so you should know this in advance before seeing your bill, but one of the most superb meals I've had. Staff were also excellent, friendly and the right level of attentive.

It was our time at this establishment and right off the bat we were greeted by a friendly waitress who seated us and gave us a run down on the menu, she definitely knew her stuff without any hesitation and a smile. We ended up ordering the King prawns, oysters and cod croquettes to start with. Prawns were succulent with a dressing that complemented it well. Oysters were accompanied by a red wine vinegar which was slightly tangy but a well rounded taste. Salt cod croquette crispy exterior with a tender cod centre had me wishing we ordered more. For mains we both ordered the Prime north Atlantic cod loin which came with some extra creamy mushy peas and some proper chips which weren’t soggy which is always a plus when getting fish and chips. The tartare sauce was delicate and went nicely with the cod and the chips. Wonderful food, calming atmosphere, very accommodating front of house! Looking forward to visiting again and trying some of the grilled fish. The best fish and chips in Bristol by far and I can see why they are rated 3rd best in the country!

Visited Noah's last night and had an absolutely fantastic meal. The food was phenomenal and I'm already looking forward to visiting again. The service was a little clunky but that could be down to any number of reasons and didn't impact my experience at all.

Excellent fish and chips in a really nice restaurant. Staff are excellent

Great lunchtime experience, great food done well best fish and chips I've had for a very long time. If you haven't been yet then you are missing out!!

Had been waiting for the perfect time to visit 'Noah's' for a while, but glad we got a chance the other day. Yes, location is pretty drab under an overpass in the Cumberland basin road system at the western end of Bristol city docks but once inside and settled with a glass of something it all falls into place. We started with the scallops, absolutely sublime, so delicious and delicate in taste. My grilled monkfish tail was bountiful and perfectly cooked, washed down with a glass or two of the house red, (highly unconventional I know!) My only criticism being the dishwasher residue on the utensils on the table, (something that is very common these days unfortunately)!

Nice atmosphere and superb fish I would just like something green on the menu go with it, a nice salad perhaps.

I'm not quite sure how to rate this restaurant. I was there last night, just me a party of 1. I was seated right away. But then I think they forgot about me. No one brought me a menu or water for about 10 min. I just sat there. Then it took another long while before the water arrived. I ordered a drink and that took 30 min to arrive. I ordered the scallops because the server had said how big and plump they are. When they did arrive they were actually the tiniest scallops I've ever seen. That is not a lie. literally the smallest scallops. The menu said `orkney scallops. No way were they orkney scallops, I live in Scotland and buy scallops all the time from my fish monger. They were so small the size of a pound coin. One was half that size. I should have taken a photo. They were cooked beautifully and tasted good but still the size, for a restaurant should be much bigger. I really couldn't believe how tiny they were and for the price I expected large beautiful scallops. Then my main course arrived it was beautiful and cooked to perfection but again took a long time to arrive. All told I was there almost 3 hours. While I was there I watched people arrive and leave get their bill and go. Meanwhile I was just sitting there waiting for my food or drink to arrive. When it was time to pay, i noticed 3 other tables also wanted to pay but they had all asked for the bill after me. However they all got their bills before me. While I was waiting other tables were getting served so again, I was still waiting to pay my bill. They literally just let me sit there. So while I would say the food is definitely good, you may be over paying for some items. I absolutely do not recommend the scallops, you'll be very disappointed. The service, while very friendly is just too slow for a restaurant. I won't go back. I felt that maybe being just 1 person I was easy to forget about. When I did pay, the machine they use immediately turns to a tip screen, a really big tip screen. I used to work in food service and I like tipping. But I swear I did not feel like tipping. I did though. Because I was too embarrassed not to. Anyhoo, I don't recommend this place and sadly, I won't go back.

Delicious food and great atmosphere.

Had a very good meal here. The fish was amazing! Even the battered cod was extra special. Next level fish and chips!

Starter: Oyster- fresh, not special and a bit expensive. Grilled Scallop - delicious, fresh and good quality, well balanced seasoning. The best dish for us on the night. Main: Ray wing- fresh and good quality, taste blended. Cod fish and chips- good quality and fresh fish meat. Tartare sauce tastes good but mushy pea is with salty taste, lack of peas sweetness itself . Unfortunately the whole dish (battered fish and chip) is not crispy as I expected, the batter and chips are soggy. Bit disappointed. Dessert: chocolate mousse - tastes delicious, with silky texture, not so sweet. Well balanced of sweet and chocolate bitters. Affogato- I like the ice-cream ( very tiny size) full of fresh milky taste. But the espresso tastes with high level of sour that’s not my favourite. Wine list-I tried 1 white wine and ordered a bottle of Prosecco, tastes flat, with little complexity and depth. I prefer to order beer next time. Server for my table is nice but not professional and not attentive. We finally be asked ‘ how’s the food?’ From another mature server when we paid. Overall, food ingredients are in high quality and fresh. But Limited selection on the “side” and “dessert “. Lack of green vegetables and salad. As award winner of fish and chips, my experience let me down. I will return for the scallops and other fish dishes next time. P.S: service charge 10% will be applied to a table of eight or more people marked on the menu. Actually when you paid, the machine will show different % of tips(starts from 10% ) let you choose to pay. The situation is odd as a guy standing beside you and waiting for your payment. If so, personally I prefer its clearly marked 10% mandatory service charge for all customers. Normally I will then pay more in cash to tips the server with good performance.

This place won some awards, and I can see why. The fish and chips are perfect. Both the decor and the service are great too. They do a week day lunch special where you can get fish and chips and a tea for £13, which is a steal. We went on a Friday during the promo in the day and it was pretty full. The special is apparently very popular with the older crowd.

A hidden gem! Friendly service and delicious seafood!

We were a group of four. The oysters were good. Three ordered a fish burger, only two were available. (Right from the beginning of the evening, we run out of hamburgers). I personally ordered the cod fillet, surprise that it was also glazed.

The dinner was lovely and we enjoyed the food and services from Noah's! They're dog friendly which is really good for those who wanted to bring along their furry friends!

The most amazing fresh seafood!! The staff were lovely and friendly and couldn't do enough to make you feel welcome. The food was out fast and hot, very well cooked.

We love Noah’s as a family favourite. You can either treat it as an up market sit down fish and chip supper place (which is what we MOSTLY tend to do) or go for something off the grill - I had delicious sole the other day which was top notch. It’s not quite a replacement for the much missed Fishers, but it’s probably better for the family crowd. They do delicious bread with anchovy and rosemary butter and the salt cod croquettes are must try. The location is of course great - fantastic view of the floating harbour and Clifton and easy parking ( just as well as it’s not on a bus route for us). I love the decor, which is smart but welcoming and it’s usually busy - having said that the acoustics are hard if you’re noise sensitive nor have hearing aids as I’ve learned to my cost with elderly relatives and small sensitive children- so for the latter strongly suggest ear plugs and for the former, turning their hearing aids off seems to work!!! 😃 I’ve marked it down on service which tends to be excellent as the last time we were in the boss man wasn’t and it showed- slow, under confident service that wasn’t really “on it”, forgotten items and the like which means I’ve scored it down this time. But generally it’s pitch perfect.

Great quality, a bit pricey though.

First time at Noah's I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent food and attentive service. Will definitely come again.

Reserved a table. They gave our table to someone else. We waited 30 mins for another spot. No one showed up. We left. Poor experience.

It's so worthy of booking a table Excellent food 😋

Having birthday celebration with hubby, they are so helpful to write “happy birthday” on the dessert plate with a candle. The main point is the food, no matter its starters or main menu, both are really delicious. Must come again.
