The best restaurants in Bristol, City of South West

Exceptional food, polite, friendly and professional staff. I cannot recommend this place enough! The Jalfreezi is divine

Beautiful ice cream and fabulous staff. I had some time to kill, so I decided to sit in today. Ice cream was fantastic (as usual) but special kudos to Izzy she was really lovely. Smiling, wishing everyone a good weekend. She’s a real credit to Swoon :)

Delicious food, friendly staff and great vibe about the place. Highly recommend

Precioso restaurante amable. . excelente comida y muy acogedor. Estaba fuera por trabajo por mi cuenta y estaba buscando algo para llevar de vuelta a mi hotel. Estaba mirando el menú fuera de uno de los colegas salió y me dio la bienvenida. Muy amable y logró hacerme sentir lo suficientemente cómodo consiguiendo una mesa para uno y sentada. Gran decoración y muy buen zumbido Tenía el entrante de pollo tikka y samosa chaat entrante con un naan y estaba relleno. La comida era increíble y muy buena relación calidad-precio. Sin duda recomendaría.

Lasagne the best in the UK Don’t listen to the negative crap on here take it from me it’s 10/10

Great beer, on cask and keg. Well worth a trip.

Amazing, it was delicious. Lovely staff and good portion sizes. It's so weird to have so many options as a vegan so took me a while to decide but I would definitely recommend the cauli bites!!

Great food, amazing service and a lovely atmosphere. Worth a visit if you want to try some delicious Japanese food.

Visited for a family meal, have eaten here many times in the past. Thought the prices for steak had risen very highly since our last visit and surprised that chips were extra to accompany your meal. Those who ordered steaks said they tasted good although not cooked as requested. Salmon and ribs competitively priced but not tasty. Cheapest wine per bottle, £30 with wine list not including origin. Unfortunately will not be going back in the near future.

Food was exceptional came here for lunch lovely atmosphere prompt service and the food was amazing

Great service and great food, picked this place at random the first night of a two night stay and were not disappointed. Staff looked after us well without being over attentive. The food was well presented and more importantly well prepared and very tasty. My wife chose the minute steak and was not disappointed. We enjoyed the experience so much we went back on the second night as well! Thank you all at the Aqua Brasserie for two nights of great food and fab cocktails!

The drinks were exciting to try with fun novelty flavours of beer - I went for a honey fruit beer called Floris (would recommend). The waiters were informative and eager to talk about the drink selection. The food was very rich and tasty - I had a vegetarian stew that was delicious. My sister had the beef stew and said the beef was cooked perfectly. Super filling dinners. The atmosphere was great, with super cool wallpapers and nice dining layout. I think we benefitted being near the front window as we had a great view if the ornate hotel opposite and less background echoes than the centre of the room. Really would recommend for great service and fun drink options.

Really hope the garden gets done soon because it's a lovely pub and I'm looking forward to summer nights there:)

This place has gone down lately. Service slow and awkward. Food very humdrum. Would not allow own bottle of non-alc wine despite them not having any (in the end gave in for a grudging £5 corkage - which we offered anyway). One of the 4 diners could not eat the ravioli as it was rubbery and the cheese inside not at all melted - no discount given nor apology. A great shame as this used to be a nice neighbourhood restaurant.

We were unfortunate enough to be served by a less than friendly woman. Cold, sharp and unwelcoming. Beer is £6 for small bottle of beer, even by today’s standards, is an absolute joke. I was recommended the moussaka, which seemed like a safe choice for a greek restaurant. It was very disappointing and tasteless, dry meat and zero options to make it vegetarian. My friend ordered the seafood pasta and it was served with frozen seafood, clumped together pasta, dry, waaaaay too spicy (probably to make up for lack of taste) and probably the worst pasta I have eaten. The only thing that was fine, was the vine leaves starter. Quality, price, taste this was a very disappointing dinning experience and personally won’t be eating here again. Especially considering all the other options in Bristol.
