The best restaurants in Clifton East Bristol, City of South West

Fabulous experience, with really tasty and unusual regional Chinese food (Hunan province). If you are adventurous, you will be rewarded with food that is fresh, unusual, and flavourful. It can be spicy or salty or oily, depending on the recipe. One thing it is more than anything else, in my opinion - authentic. We are talking fish heads, chicken gizzards, pork trotters, beef tripe and tendons - if you fancy a go. You don't have to; there are plenty of other lovely and familiar dishes on offer. If you buy a side dish of rice or order a pot of jasmine tea, you can top up for free on them. The service is second to none, the atmosphere - lively and fun, with lots of Chinese young people/students dining there. This was not a cheap eaterie, however, and the ambiance was just perfect for our little party. We left full and happy, and planning to be back soon.

I genuinely mean this, the nicest pizza I have ever eaten in my entire life. Absolutely loved this place. Lovely atmosphere, nice friendly staff who got the level of attention just right. Awesome food. Nice fries and dip as well. The kids loves their pizzas and the price was very good. Had a lovely pint of IPA to top it off.

Very good quality food and potrtion size, and reasonably priced, staff were very friendly

Was so dissapointed. All my favourite dishes no longer available had a job to select food on offer as it was so badly made. Tasteless, no seasoning, lukewarm, watery sauces on noodles etc very little substance to main dishes bulked up with lots of onion and noodles, Sushi worst I have every had, like a block of cold cooked rice. Meat dry fatty hard no filling in small vegetable rolls all pastry I could go on but will just not visit again. Was one of my favourite places. Think it is really bad form that you have to pay up front before you even finished being seated but I understand why now as I feel they would have a job to charge for such poor fare once sampled.

Under new management and they are smashing it! Service Swift and friendly

I had an incredible experience at the bottomless brunch today, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Bob. From the moment we sat down, Bob made us feel right at home. His friendly demeanor and attentiveness truly stood out, ensuring that our glasses were never empty, and our plates were always full. The food was absolutely delicious — a perfect mix of savory and sweet options that catered to everyone in our group. But what made the experience even better was Bob’s warm and engaging service. He was quick with refills and had a great sense of humor, making us feel like we were enjoying the brunch with an old friend. Bob was also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, recommending a few dishes we hadn’t considered, all of which were outstanding. His timing was impeccable, and he always checked in just when we needed him, without ever being intrusive. Overall, this was one of the best brunches I’ve had, and Bob was a big reason why. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your server, you’re in for a great time!

The cafe needs a little TLC or a deep clean it's all looking a little tired,the staff drinks and cakes are wonderful.

Dined one Thursday evening in March. Oysters great, starter great. Main course v disappointing. Lobster was reheated there wasn’t much cooking on it as it was grilled in butter but it turned out leathery however the flavour was good. The fries were cooked earlier and also reheated. The starch levels from pre cooked potato chips were high. I’m all for triple cooked chips but way too crispy and too long between the second the third dip in fat. Side dishes were served in Bowles, difficult to share sides as a result when your lobster main plate is covered in butter. No side plates. None offered. The sad thing was that by 8pm the restaurant was empty apart from us two, no atmosphere, way too brightly lit and although our server was friendly, she could create an atmosphere that was lacking. I’d strongly recommend that whom ever owns it should take some time to check in on it during the week as there is no future in a weekend only business. It definitely needs a boost. The food, presentation, service and atmosphere all need to cracked along. If you’re cooking the food before the evening sitting and heading for home leaving a young crew in place with no supervision on food and service quality you’re bound to have poor feedback. If you’re dining alone in a white table cloth restaurant a 8pm on a Thursday you resent leaving the house. We wanted into celebrate with you but we’ll probably use the fishmonger instead going forward.

Lovely gastropub/theatre - great staff, decor and atmosphere - a hidden gem 💎

Stunning Sunday dinner - I still dream about the lamb

We held our wedding reception at The Eldon House and couldn't have been happier. Beautiful setting with natural light and fairy lights, great food, PA system for dancing afterwards. Everyone was so professional and helpful, thank you very much!

Nice atmosphere and good selection on drinks

We just happened upon tge Ricer Cootage HQ while visiting Lyme Regis and couldn't not visit. The hostess was very welcoming and helpful. The food was amazing, as I knew it would be, and the prices were not as high as I was expecting. The chef came out and was more than happy to share the recipe for the apple crumble. My husband picked up some more nettle beer, he'd sampled it the day before when we booked the table. Everywhere is spotlessly clean with a light and airy feel. We would definitely go back when we are in the area again.

Amazing service, great atmosphere! Taylor was lovely and very accommodating :)

Awesome food, friendly great service, good value for money, definitely recommend. Chips perfect!!!!
