Reviews in Bristol City Centre

We first went to La Grotta may years ago as a young couple, and had a lovely meal. Then we went back when our first child was just 6 months . . . and the very friendly waiter held her while we ate. It was the FIRST break we'd had since she arrived. We've been aboard for 2 years, and return home next week. Our first stop in Bristol will be . . . La Grotta!

A great meal,i highly recommend this trendy, friendly restaurant. My girl friend said it was the best meal ever ! had, maybe my best curry for a long time. Very friendly helpful staff, can't wait until i'm in Bristol again.

Superb meal. Very tasty vegetarian moussaka. Included in price was rice & a Greek Side Salad. Friendly staff. Murals of Greek Scenes and Greek Music transported us to Greece!!!

Bell's Diner produces the best food in Bristol by a country mile. I have been here many times and never once been less than overwhelmed. Everything on the plate, from the perfectly-cooked texture of the meat/fish, to the big punchy flavour of the sauces, to the immaculate presentation, screams of expertise and genuine care. To be fair, you may need to bring an adventurous palate and the (still reasonable) prices prohibit coming here all the time, but for a memorable fine dining experience there really is no other option. The staff are friendly, open, and knowledgeable without being prim or pretentious. I cannot recommend it enough, I really can't.

My law firm had a dinner party there - 14 of us in a private room. Was a great experience. Food and service wonderful and very plush surroundings.

Judging by the other reviews, this place seems to have deteriorated somewhat. The curries were of a good standard but not exceptional. The service was pretty good though not great. The ambience was lacking but the style of the place was entirely different from anywhere I've been before (in a good way). The main problem I found was that the 'pilau' rice had a distinct taste to it which was rather unlike I've had before and was not to my satisfaction. Overall, an enjoyable experience but not one that I will be repeating in a hurry.

I adore this place. It is the best japanese food I've tasted in a restaurant and the prices are so good that it doesn't hurt my wallet to go back again and again. The express lunch deal is great value although I found two courses at lunch a bit much. I recommend the yasai noodles in soup, I've had it twice and it is fantastic!

Love it. had a great night with friends.

The best sandwiches and salads in Bristol. Made to order and with a broad choice of salads, hot and cold meats, door step bread and friendly service. Very reasonably priced but given portion sizes, not too good for the waistline.

Nice, ambient lighting, cosy, local artwork on walls, etc. Staff not massively attentive at times. Food is good but we only had nibbles so can't really say. Great range of Belgian beers and gorgeous cocktails (Avon Gorge Mudslide/Chocwork Orange a must...).

This is one of the best curry houses in Bristol. The food is always very fresh and the take away food every bit as good as that served at the table. The popularity of this little restaurant is a measure of its quality. The garlic naans are superb - as good as anywhere in the world - and I have travelled. The chilli garlic chicken is a must. For the veggies the big metal platter thingy is really good - in fact its all excellent.

Heard the buzz, so had to check it out. Liked it, really liked it. Only had drinks in the top bar, but the restaurant is certainly on my list of things to do in the next month. Found it friendly, relaxed and had a great little vibe to it. And I'm a stubborn and hard to please git.

This is a gem! Wonderful, family Italian food served with a smile. The food is excellent. I could go on and on but come in and try for yourself... you will not be disappointed

I have been to a few Indians in the Bristol and South Wales area and Lal Jomi is up there with the best of them. I would agree that from time to time service suffers, but only due to amount of customer demand. Parking is also sometimes an issue due to its location but the walk is often good for the digestion.

We ate there last Saturday night and the place was heaving. The staff were totally rushed off their feet but coped wonderfully. The food leaving the kitchen was some of the best I've had in Bristol in a long time. All 5 of us agreed it's a special place. The bar was a little too busy, but we stopped, had a few than headed home. What amazed me more than anything were the customers - an eclectic mix of young proffs, middle aged couples and 'the trendies'. Perfect company and a surprising find on Park St.

I Have been going to la grotta fro years on end! my whole family love it there as we know all the staff and owners.. We do get a little spoilt as we know them but many of my friends go there and ask me to take them again because they love it so much! it is a great place i really recommend it !!!

Just come home from an excellent meal for two at Juniper. Never been before and tend to stick to places I know - but I am glad I took the opportunity to see if what I had heard was true. Food was excellent, the manageress Jess was on her own but that didn? take away from the relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and have already decided to go back again soon.

First visit to Bells, which we thoroughly enjoyed, the food & service was outstanding, we were staying in Bristol for a couple of nights and choose the restaurant after reading previous reviews. We would thoroughly recommend it.
