Bristol Restaurants

  1. Budokan

    Pan-Asian food is cooked up at this exciting fusion restaurant, where diners sit at communal tables and indulge in handmade sushi, ho-fun noodles and Malaysian curries. Particularly good is the 'Rapid Refuel' menu available pre- : sushi, side-dish and main, all for a paltry sum.

  2. Café Kino

    Run by all-vegan owners, this co-operative café is impressive - the food's organic and local, the coffee's ethical, and there's even an alternative to corporate coke. Veggie lasagnes, leek and bacon pie and portabella mushrooms characterise the menu.

  3. Mud Dock

    This much-loved place has a split personality: on the ground floor is the city's top bike shop, while the first floor is an industrial-style cafe offering crispy pork, black bean chilli or sausage and mash, perfect fare for keeping those wheels spinning.

  4. Primrose Café

    Hidden away down a Clifton cul-de-sac, this sweet neighbourhood bistro is a passionate proselytiser for the Slow Food campaign. The blackboard menu is strong on Cornish fish and British game, and the streetside tables are ideal for sampling the Primrose's trademark cakes.

  5. Quartier Vert

    The QV has been a Whiteladies mainstay for two decades, and after several revamps has settled on Spanish and Southern Med flavours, supplemented by designer cheeses, sausages, tapas and home-baked bread. Wine-tasting and Slow Food courses will knock that philistinic palate into shape.
