Well I have to say i'm a little shocked no one else has written a review about this little gem!…read more This fruit and veg shop is fantastic, it's shaped like a horseshoe, you enter in one end, your nose filled with the smells of so many glorious fresh fruits and vegatables, you have a little nosey around as you make your way around the horseshoe and then you come out the other end after your magical healthy journey and pay for your goods. The price is fantastic and I truely hope that the supermarkets don't squash this shining beacon of what is so great about buying local produce. The front of the shop is red lettering and white background and is listed as 'Fruit market' above the exite and 'EAST STREET fresh fruit and veg' above the entrance - please take note, we can't be doing with people ruining thier perfect system!

Its not a middle class farmers market, its a proper old fashioned market, with fresh and delicious smelling and tasting fruit at bargain prices. It also has a gorgeous array of plants for sale out front. I keep being tempted by them but am usually on my bike when I go to the market. In a world where local supermarkets sell overpriced bland fruit and veg grown in far flung corners of the world it is encouraging to see such a fantastic market still surviving despite the large Asda down the road. Its got character, cheap prices and delicious produce. Well worth turning your nose up at the inferior supermarket produce and taking the extra stroll up East Street to get some tasty treats. Craving some fresh strawberries now!!

My local grocers is opposite a Tesco Metro and I can't understand why anyone wold use the supermarket, as the range doesn't even begin to compare. Plus the Banana Boat is reasonably priced and serves with a smile. I'm not suggesting that you travel especially to come here, but if you happen to be local: stop using Tesco now!

As Henry says, why would you need to get any fruit and veg from a supermarket, or a smaller outlet of one for that matter, when there are places like this occupying most of the busy streets in Bristol. Make a small change in your life and get all your fresh food from here and you will never look back.

I haven't been out with a switchboard and done meticulous price comparisons for this place and the the nearby supermarkets and other green grocers. However, occasional inspection of the change in my pocket tells me that this place isn't a rip off but isn't too much cheaper than the Somerfield nearby. Any more than a quid for an avocado seems a bit pricey too me and they're £1.29 here. Not the worst crime of the century, I know, but apart from freshness price is all you can really judge a place like this on. The prices just reflect the nice location, I think, right in the heart of classy Kingsdown. If you are bargain hunting then Gloucester Road is probably the place to go to get stuff a bit cheaper. As for the freshness side of things, that seemed pretty good. I picked up some vine tomatoes, in particular, that look just about perfect (yet to eat any of them, I'll update if it turns out they're no good). Salad Days is a friendly run of the mill grocers, not too cheap.

Specialising in food from Portugal, Brazil, Italy and Spain it's so wonderfully different from anything else the market has to offer. As well as pate, pasta, oils and coffee, there's a deli section serving cheeses and fish from across the globe. And it's not just their food which is worth a visit, but their selection of alcoholic drinks, including Casal Garcia (also known as 'green wine') from Portugal. Perfect for presents, or for turning boring meals into something special.
