The best restaurants in Henleaze Bristol, City of South West

Warm, inviting atmosphere with wonderful Italian coffee. It’s hard to resist the cannoli pastries too! A welcome addition to Henleaze Rd despite there being four other cafes nearby. Limited seating but somehow you always manage to find a chair/stool.

Great little cafe. (Please don't pass the word, or I won't a seat). Last last visit, we three had :- - Arabica eggs holedaise (Winner) - Toastie (Runner-up) - Lentil Soup (Thin - follower on - wooden spoon)

Just brilliant. Consistently excellent in all areas - we are a family of four (2 boys of 12 years who eat loads!) and celebrated my birthday with a fabulous 3 course lunch. Excellent value for such incredible food! Add on a bottle of delicious wine, glasses of dessert wine, drinks and coffee, and suddenly the bill is pretty hefty - but completely worth it considering the excellent food, outstanding service, attention to detail and careful attention. Prego is a favourite of ours and will always be our Bristol restaurant to recommend! ❤️

We were met by a very abrupt waitress who made us sit on a table for two, which had other occupied tables located very close to either side of us. There were several other empty tables where we could have sat without invading the existing customers privacy. We did not feel any of the staff were particularly friendly, the food was very over priced, and we took a very dim view of the waitress opening the front door and allowing the cold air into the restaurant on what was a very cold wet day outside. This made most customers feel very uncomfortable. We felt it was like they were saying, “we have had your money, so the quicker you leave now the better”. One customer got up and closed the door, and the waitress immediately went up to the front of the shop and opened the window. For how rudely we were treated, it’s a wonder they had any customers at all. We will not be going back !

The food here is absolutely delicious! They have a wide range of options to choose from and the service is so professional and friendly!

The food was very good and the service from all the staff was really good would recomend anyone to come and try

Most people either give 5 stars if they're happy or, 1 star if they're not. I do it myself. On this occasion, I feel it necessary to give a breakdown of each. Food:- I eat here regularly. And every single thing theyve ever served me tastes like, it was made with deliberate effort. It's practically impossible to leave without saying thank you. (Bigger amount of side salad, please.....and chips. Service:- Everyone who works there are brilliant. I can't remember his name right now (grrr),but he knows who he is. That man has made it his soul purpose on earth, to make sure I have everything I could possibly want. I've given some unusual requests over the years. Thank you, temporarily nameless, acquaintance. Atmosphere:- Good

Fantastic little bistro off the beaten track. Well worth the taxi ride out of town . Great atmosphere. Very attentive staff . Food was superb & we will definitely return next time we’re in Bristol.

We had the pleasure of being served by James in the evening, and his service was outstanding. He was attentive, friendly, and made our visit truly enjoyable. It was one of the best experiences we’ve had at Costa, and we look forward to returning!

Consistently good

Nice ambience and very good coffee. Only 1 member of staff serving today so I queued for nearly 10 minutes. There were 9 people waiting to be served when I left! 10.12.22 7 people queuing Infront of me today & about a 10 minute wait to be served. When will the owners (Nero) put customer service first? 28.02.23 Visited mid-morning. Very noisy to begin with, lots of mums and babies. Quitened down after about 111. Coffee and cake (mocha & maple syrup flapjack) as good as ever! Queue duration OK today 30.01.25 Fast efficient service, lovely coffee. Sat on comfy sofas in rear of cafe 09.04.25 Still great coffee and fast, efficient service. Couldn't get the spins app to work though!

Food is alright, but it's overpriced considering the mediocre ingredients and portion. I'm a cook and I know the cooking method is very simple and single as well.

Elvira the manager was SO friendly and helpful- she is a credit to your company and was much appreciated!

Decidimos probar su almuerzo del domingo, pero como era una decisión de última hora no habíamos reservado una mesa. Desde que aparecimos bang el mediodía, pudieron encontrarnos una mesa, pero le aconsejaría reservar para que no se decepcione. La carne asada y el pollo que pedimos era excelente. Había una generosa cantidad de patatas asadas crujientes, además de chirivías asadas y zanahorias glaseadas con algo delicioso, repollo y queso coliflor. El pudín Yorkshire era masivo y un excelente acompañamiento. Si fuera a ser exigente, diría que las zanahorias estaban bastante mal cocidas, además de que el remoulade de apio y la salsa podrían haber tenido más sabor. Me encantaría comer aquí de nuevo, pero ten en cuenta que es un pub que acepta perros, así que no es una sorpresa para su visita.

Food and service was good Decent quality food and not too much overbearing continual attention. Couldn't eat it all but brought rest away for another meal.****
