St James Restaurant and Coffee Shop in Bristol, City of

We went for the first time to the St James Bar inside Sofitel Hotel and we loved the atmosphere and the treatment we had received. Gianmarco has been great in asking our preferences and guessing the perfect drink for us. Well done Gianmarco. See you again.

Mikey is lovely!! The service was excellent and it was an amazing atmosphere. Will definitely come again 💘💘💘

Mikey was an excellent bartender, he treated me and my girlfriend with the upmost respect, quite literally the best bartender I've ever met

A lovely cocktail bar, with fantastic service and perfect traditional cocktails. Highly recommend!

I tried some snacks it was definitely delicious also staff were friendly I wanna try all menu in this atmosphere I’m very recommending the place.

I spent 5 nights at the hotel and came into the bar each evening for a relaxing drink. The guys here couldn’t have been more engaging and professional. The wines were of really high quality which was great.

Great cocktail bar with absolutely outstanding manners and attentiveness of the staff. Will definitely come back!

We enjoyed a delightful lunch at St. James Soffitel London, a tradition whenever we visit. Angelo at the Bar made our experience truly memorable, just as he did two years ago. By the way, he takes great photos too!

Such a stunning location. ⭐️ Excellent service, waiters and bar staff are very knowledgeable. Complementary nibbles and excellent cocktail and wine selection.

Excellent cocktails and excellent service

a nice, quiet English bar, for socializing and aperitifs

If you stay in London and need "your place" for business meetings or rendezvous, this is definitely it. I enjoyed it a lot, and it became my residence when I am in London.

Fab place, really looked after us, not like the Savoy (I’m honestly not bitter 😂). Class establishment, great service but a tad expensive (we did know this but wanted to, and did, celebrate my Mams 75th in style). Initially sat outside in the sunshine where the staff set a parasol for us, however the drinks menus was a little lacking so we asked and were then seated inside - fantastic. Will definitely be back.

My favorite local bar, hands down with wonderful cocktails. Truly excellent service, amidst the friendliest and most attentive in London (especially Angelo), really does feel like a home away from home. Love the atmosphere and ambiance.

The coffee they have is absolutely perfect. We had the cappuccino. We weren't surprised when the bill came, as the price (for once!!) accurately reflected the quality of the drinks. P.S: Look up at the ceiling and say hi to General Chicken.

I always have such a wonderful time at st James. Angelo, Mario and Hristo look after me so well. The cocktails are delicious and I love the atmosphere too.

Great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Had a snack and a bottle of wine. Will definitely be back !

Lovely and elegant cocktail bar in Soho. Great cocktails and service, but extremely overpriced compared to comparable bars in the area. Lovely staff tho.

Leckere Cocktails in einer wunderbaren Atmosphäre

Nothing special but highly overpriced. The smallest cocktails I ever had.

What a rip off. Most of the glass was taken up with an enormous lump of ice leaving very little room for our cocktails at £22 each! However service and atmosphere were good but drinks spoilt the evening.

I won’t lie we spend a lot of time here, but once you visit you’ll know why. Such a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff but the cocktails! They will make you traditional cocktails if you ask but try the imagination menu. The pina colada 3.0 is probably the greatest cocktail I’ve ever had.

Top Bar. Edel, sehr schummrig und das Getränke-Menü auch so richtig schwer zu entziffern. Was dann aber ins Glas kommt ist erste Qualität und mit viel Einfallsreichtum.

A little expensive but premium cocktails. Ameretto sour was 🔥

Excellents coktails! Un peu cher mais ça vaut le détour !

Amazing atmosphere, quiet and cosy. Great selection of original cocktails created by the bartenders as well as all classic cocktails. Highly recommend to all cocktails lovers

exquisite pinot noir. always a winner in my books

Lovely place with great atmosphere and perfect mood lighting. Staff were superb and friendly. Excellent selection of cocktails and champagne.

Do not drink beer. Beer bad. I LOVED THIS PLACE!!!!!

What a great little find. Linda and her family serve a cracking hot and tasty breakfast. And they are so obliging .Portions are as good as the food is.Do yourself a favour and seek this little gem out, just across from Nando's. Fantastic value for money.

We visited at lunchtime and both had the OAP roast beef dinner. The beef was tender and plentiful with yorkshire pudding, roast and new potatoes, 3 veg and gravy. The meal was hot ,tasty and extremely reasonable at around £7 each

Absolutely gorgeous food, we had ravioli and chips, a plain and simple burger and chips and a beef roast dinner,wkth homemade horseradish. The food was full of flavour and piping hot! We couldn't find a single fault with our food!!! The only problem we had was that we waited until the last day of our holiday too come here! If we knew about it before then, we would have come every day easily!! Already looking at holidays. For an excuse too return too the restaurant!!!

We had wonderful dinner and drinks that was made all more special by the attentive and delightful service. We were fortunate to have Marina for our table, and will make it a point to come back to visit her. Marina had great recommendations and made sure our experience was a memorable one.

Myself and hubby had OAP special Fish and chips with a cup of tea (£7). Hubby had Haddock and I had Cod with chips and peas. Fish was beautiful, and proper chips

Basically everything was microwaved. The steady humming began as soon as the last of the orders were taken. We knew each plate was ready due to the chorus of 'dings'The chef had great aubon locks of hair, quite stunning however not a welcome addition to your burger. Looks run down from the outside also. One to avoid in my familys opinion.

Traditional cafe with home made food,menu is large,from soups to home made cottage pie, lasagna etc.Wont eat anywhere else after discovering this gem.

Had a lovely family meal here today, some beautiful roasts but the most amazing greek omelette.. And they also threw in a free trifle for birthday boy.. Will most certainly come back...

Amazing staff with an amazing cocktail menu, what else you need? A must visit

Wonderful cocktails, service, and atmosphere. One of our favorite bars in London.

Been coming since I was a child and will continue as long as possible. Food is excellent and large portions.

The home made pies and omelettes are wonderful here at a very reasonable price, it was very busy with people queuing to get in. Very good service in quite a small restaurant that packs diners in, fairly comfortably. Good for families with kids and especially OAPs with discounts available for certain dishes. A very traditional interior that is not modern at all. Payment cards were not accepted, cash only.

I bloody love this place, been coming here for over 30 years. The food is the best in weston, my favourite is the lamb roast dinner. But I am always tempted by the fish and chips, the chips are the best. Tiny kitchen but the best food in weston for sure.

Went in for Roast lunch and it was first class. Staff are helpful. Each meal that was severed also looked very good including the fish and chips. Have been back once a week as trying the hole menu out is going to take weeks

We opted for turkey and veg. The one slice of turkey half covered the plate and was surrounded by overcooked vegetables, but the whole thing was swamped and hidden in a deep covering of grey gelatinous gravy! Surely a gravy-boat would be preferable, then you can help yourself! I can still taste that gravy! I guess it was good value at £6 each but I would have preferred less of a soggy mess! I must mention the proprietor who stood behind the counter - he was on his phone conversing about a delivery and was shouting the whole time. We could hear every word. It was intolerable for the diners in his restaurant - we felt very embarrassed for him and the very nice waitress although she's probably used to it. Not good customer service!. The toilets are up a very steep casement, and the staircarpet really needs replacing - years of feet have trodden the carpet black and almost into the wooden stairs. The toilet area need painting - they were not that clean! Very scruffy! In fact other reviewers have described this restaurant as cosy but I would say "cosy/scruffy" is more to the point. PS I can still taste that gravy!!

This bar is a hidden gem in London. It tends to be quiet and cosy and the service is attentive and personalised. They created a really imaginative cocktail menu. I've tried a few and they are great quality and well structured. They also have the most amazing olives!

The St James is a strange place. It was packed out with older members of the community enjoying an inexpensive, but good value, lunch.No alcohol was offered, but the food was excellent, the tea was fresh (not a traditional stewed seaside brew) and with brisk, friendly waiting staff.The fish and chips was exceptional.I am glad our 85-year-old relative remembered eating there - and was able to find it off the seafront and beside the shopping mall.

We have been coming here for years. It doesn't look much from outside but is really nice and friendly inside. The owner and his family are like old friends now and the service is always excellent. It is a place that is normally fairly busy at lunch time and has a simple but great menu. I always think we're going to try something different but end up with the great value Cod, light with gorgeous crispy batter, and the World's BEST ever chips, can't get enough! with mushy peas all served fresh and piping hot with a good strong cuppa at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended! Hope they go on forever!

Thus is a nice restaurant just off the centre of town, it is good for good old traditional British food.

Firstly the food. I had homemade steak and kidney pie which was perfect, with tinned peas and excellent real chips. Only critisism is when I asked for mushy peas instead I was given a resounding NO. Very shortsighted, I would have happily paid extra and enjoyed my meal that much more. Im now forced to try the neighbouring restaurants in the hope of getting exactly what I want. Diana chose the oap braised steak with veg. Plenty of it and excellent - hence 5 stars for quality and quantity for both.Please chef, stop the intransigence over your peas!!

We stopped for lunch on our recent visit, and had (of course) fish and chips which when they came were delicious, and hot. I have a thing about food temperatures in all restaurants.The staff were very efficient, and we were served quickly, even although the restaurant was full (always a good sign) and it was mid to low priced which was another delight to me.

En un viaje de un día a Weston Super Mare yo sabía exactamente dónde ir para el almuerzo ya que he estado en este restaurante pequeño pero acogedor en un par de ocasiones anteriores. Su menú es quitevaried pero teníamos la pensionista Cod & Chips especiales. Una pieza preciosa de bacalao a fresco con patatas fritas y guisantes decentes, además de un jardín taza de tes todo por 6 libras. Excelente relación calidad-precio y recomendado.

A lovely restaurant, great food, fantastic service, go out of their way to accommodate you. Always pop in when in Weston

Este restaurante está en el paseo marítimo, cerca del centro de la ciudad. La comida era todo casero con una buena variedad de opciones. Desde fuera no parecía especial, pero el interior era amable y acogedor. Las porciones eran de un buen tamaño, recién preparado y a precios razonables. El restaurante era uno de esos lugares que busque y parecía estar lleno de gente. Bien merece una visita si estás en la ciudad, no es el tipo de comida rápida encontramos a lo largo del paseo marítimo, buena relación calidad-precio.

Visitamos Weston Supermare como regalo de cumpleaños fuimos a este restaurante para comer y nos gustó tanto que volvimos al día siguiente. La comida era fresco y caliente con patatas fritas caseras y estaba muy bien de precio, y con un personal amable y no dudaría en recomendar a amigos y familiares y si volvemos a Weston Supermare nuevo sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

We popped in here for some lunch and we weren't disappointed, the menu is perfect for everyone, I liked the fact that when we went everyone seemed to know one another ,proving how popular with the locals it is, we both ordered omelette which came with a mountain of chips and a lovely fresh salad, everything was perfect , even the chips were homemade. The staff are lovely here, we will definitely eat here again

This is the best restaurant in Weston and has great traditional meals, best cod and chips for miles. Home made chips lovely white cod and crspy batter. We come here as trued most others in area but none as traditional as this.

Ambos tuvimos el pensionista estofado de ternera con verduras 3. Generosas porciones, carne tierna, deliciosa salsa, verduras cocinadas adecuadamente, no descuidadas o demasiado fresco, de hecho, perfecto. El primero lugar estaba abarrotada, de hecho tuvimos que esperar unos minutos por una mesa. No comer bien,...

La comida sabía y geniales, buena relación calidad-precio y el servicio era rápido y amable. Tenía un gran menú para elegir y tenía un montón de tablas especiales durante todo el lugar, incluyendo ofertas pensionista

We decided to stay in town for lunch and each had dishes from the OAP menu. I chose roast pork with vegetables and my wife had steak and kidney pie with chips and peas.Both portions were good sized and at £10.20 for the 2 main courses represented reasonable value.The service was speedy and friendly. On our visit all the diners were pensioners and judging by the exchanges between the staff and diners many were regular visitors.

We have used this restaurant for more than 25 years on our occasional visits to Weston super Mare. My Mum & Dad have taken lunch here daily for years too. Extremely friendly family proprietors who truly care about maintaining standards! Large menu choice expertly delivered every time. My personal favourite is the milky white freshly fried plaice in silky batter. So yummy & the best I've tasted!

After viewing the price list outside myself and many partner decided to enter after seeing the good sized tables and nice décor, and am I glad we went in ! We were welcomed very nicely indeed by a very smart and polite young lady who s name we later found out was "DOROTA", and she was so nice. I chose the prime fillet of place with chips and mushy pleas and my partner chose roast pork. The two meals were brought to us in ultra rapid time and BOY OH BOY WERE THEY GREAT ! Top class quality everywhere, and truly superb in every way. I have no hesitation in saying that I have every intention of returning as soon as I can..... Well done St. James and thank you "DOROTA"..........Kindest regards....... Graham from Birmingham.

We had been to Dismaland & needed to eat before driving home. We have often gone to St James' and have always been impressed. The waitress was friendly & accommodating. I have the most delicious omlette (never had anything else in there) & the rest of the family had fish with a huge pile of chips. Service was swift and the food plentiful and tasty. The bill came to £31 for the four of us which I think is great value. Love this local independent restaurant. Please don't change or alter the menu

Just got back from another lovely meal at St. James, we wouldn't go anywhere else. Waitress always recognises us and knows we like a pot of tea. We always choose their steak and kidney pie as we never have this at home. Food very plentiful, well cooked and plates always hot. My wife always makes a special request for roast potatoes instead of boiled potatoes and they are always happy to oblige. Extra milk is also provided for our tea. Staff are always pleasant. Another couple joined us at the table as the restaurant was busy and we found out that we had a lot in common having all been brought up in Bristol. We certainly had a good chat and rested our weary feet before going back to the shops. Will be back again very soon.

We came here for lunch whilst on holiday. A small tea cup of tea was £1.80 which we found to be too expensive! The food is average. The place seems to follow the mantra of quantity over quality. We were charged £15 for one omelette and a toasted sandwich with a tea cup of tea and a small coke.The staff barely spoke English and were rude and hostile. We certainly won't be visiting again!

we used this restaurant last year so we came back again this year there is an extensive menu and the prices are very reasonable.We have found the food cooked and presented very pleasantly and the staff helpful as well.They do cater for o.a.p.s and children.

Visited on Friday 12th September for lunch. We spent ages wandering around looking for a decent place to eat and finally spotted the St James Restaurant. We were given a warm cheery welcome and our order was taken promptly. I had plaice, chips and salad and my wife had roast pork and vegetables. The quality was absolutely fine and the price very reasonable, especially as the restaurant did a concession for pensioners. We would not fault it at all and it seems that many other people had the same opinion because the restaurant had filled up with customers by the time we left. Such a shame that Weston Super Mare seems to have a shortage of good places to eat.

St. James's Cafe was reccommended to me by my brother who lives in Worcester and I was visiting him from Manchester. On Tuesday 12th August my brother took a day off work and took myself and his wife to St. James's Cafe. We ordered meals, I ordered a plain chicken dinner with chips and requsted for mushy peas instead of garden peas, the waitress said she would have to ask the chef who said I couldn't have mushy peas with the chicken so my brother offered to pay separately for a portion of mushy peas. When the chicken came it was on the plate on its own covered with gravy, I did ask for plain chicken and the menu didn't state it comes with gravy if it had I would have asked for without gravy, this wasn't mentioned by the waitress when she took the order, nor was it mentioned that this was indeed a roast dinner. When I questioned the waitress called 'Jane' she said "its a roast dinner and you never have a roast dinner without gravy !" but I did ask for it plain and just assumed it would come without gravy . I was advised that I could have another chicken without gravy but I would have to pay for it but at this point my family had already got their meals so I ordered another chicken and paid for it. I did however take a photo of the menu which clearly doesnt state the chicken comes with gravy and the waitress 'Jane' came along and snatched the menu out of my hand and said we were causing trouble and to "eat up pay the bill and get out !!" When I paid the bill a different waitress who was alot friendlier and did try to explain that it came as a roast dinner but as I explained to her I did ask for a plain chicken so would have expected a chicken without gravy. This experience totally ruined and spoilt our otherwise lovely visit to Weston Super Mare but what scares me most is that I have a disabled father and if he were to have been with me that day I would have felt very vulnerable to carry on with our meal with such a bad atmosphere. Eat here with caution if you are not happy with your meal then you need to be wary of the bad tempered waitress and bad attitude of 'Jane' the waitress she totally ruined our meal.

We first stumbled upon this lovely little old fashioned restaurant when we were in Weston-Super-Mare several weeks ago. My wife then had a roast dinner and I had fish and chips. We both said that the quality of the meals and the service was first class. Knowing that we would be back in Weston on 6 July, we promised each other that we would treat ourselves to another tasty meal at St. James' Restaurant on our return.On Sunday 6 July, we arrived in Weston around mid-day and thought we would call at St. James’ for lunch. Unfortunately however, we couldn't quite remember the exact location of the restaurant, but after wandering up and down two or three streets in the area we again stumbled upon this hidden gem.When we went into the restaurant it was absolutely full. The very friendly waitress came up to us as soon as we entered and said she would be able to find us a table straight away as someone was just leaving. She kept her word and gave us a nice table by the window. On this occasion we both went for the OA P Sunday roast, with my wife choosing chicken and me beef. The meals were again absolutely fantastic, as was the service from our lovely and very obliging waitress.The interior of the restaurant is rather dated which, in our opinion, just adds to its charm. A little bit more space in the restaurant would be nice, but, short of reducing the number of tables (ie customers), which in turn would obviously mean an increase to the very competitive prices, there is little that can be done. The old adage says "if it's not broke don't fix it", meaning if something is right don't change it. The management have certainly got it right in the St. James' Restaurant judging by how popular it is. We noted that whilst St.James' restaurant was absolutely full, other restaurants in the vicinity, serving similar meals at similar prices, were almost empty. So please, "don't fix it" - you have obviously got it absolutely right.We called again for lunch at St. James' a little later in the week. On this occasion we both decided on the OAP fish and chip specials. Once again we enjoyed an absolutely fabulous meal served by the same lovely and efficient waitress. Our special thanks to her for making us so welcome and the dining experience so enjoyable.We will certainly be using this great little restaurant every time we visit Weston, and can thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting high quality tasty meals, value for money prices and efficient friendly service.Our thanks to all staff at St. James' for their friendly and efficient service - and of course for the lovely tasty meals.Stewart & Hilary Essex

We have been using this small restaurant for many years, and there is always a friendly welcome.I had the Lasagne which was lovely, with lots of peas and a jacket potato.Son had the fish and chip supper which he thoroughly enjoyed.Shall hopefully use this small restaurant for many more years.

we went for a long weekend in November with a group of friends my husband and I called in at the st james and we were not disappointed the fish and chips are the best we have ever had and the staff were so friendly and made you welcome I would defoe call there again if in Weston and I would also recommend to anyone who visits Weston do call in and try the the fish and chip

enjoyed our fish supper cooked well with ample chips and nice hot plates.we didnt get there until 7.30ish and I am not sure what time they close.

I'm no fashionista, food fascist or snob, but there's just something very special that reminds you of Mom's home cooking (well, not my mom!) and takes you back to a time before chain restaurants and boil in bag meals...At this place you'll find vinyl seating, troublesome artwork and garish carpet, but the best omelette in Europe, the most delicious lasagne and ravioli AND a great selection of traditional dishes.Drinks are sensibly priced, with wine from the 'black tower' stable but well served.Service is friendly but not obtrusive and time to table is quick, despite everything being freshly prepared in a tiny, visible grill area.Brilliant stuff, just don't retire yet!

We went her on a recommendation and we were not sorry, this restaurant is a gem great food and really clean. So if you are visiting Weston . Don't eat any where else , you have got to go here as you will not be dissapointed .
