Absolutely love this wee gem of a cafe! Definitely would recommend for brunch!…read more Workhouse is located near the Bristol hospital and near 0 degree distillery (apologies don't remember the road name haha), it's a corner cafe restaurant overlooking the main and pedestrian roads. Perfect spot for people watching, my fav hobby! You order at the little counter thing and can choose whether to pay after ordering or after eating. I was starving so I got French toast with blueberries, agave syrup, caramelised banana and bacon + avocado, banana, agave, matcha smoothie! Yes it was as good as it sounds. The presentation was on point and my tummy was so delighted to consume errthang!!! So good. I also asked another customer what she was having, she ordered mushroom toast with avocado and that look beautiful as well! Me thinks presentation here is key hahaha altogether it was about £13? Don't mind since it was good and presented so well! Service was ok albeit one wee grumpy lady but other than that everything was cool. Loved it! Highly recommend

I was super excited to check out this place for a spot of lunch, as it's a place I've heard many…read moregood things. I was there during the week on lunchtime with friends, it's got this really lovely laid back cosy style, and was super friendly. I like the fact they have a massive blackboard wall, with lots of menu choices, from tapas to light bites, and have specials too. We headed to the back of the building which almost feels conservatory like. The whole menu looked mouthwatering, I opted for the Home Smoked Trout with cream cheese, scrambled egg and radish salad. All of the flavours really complemented each other, and the scrammed egg was the lightest and fluffiest I've ever tasted. It was an ample portion, and really set me up for the rest of the day. The other thing I should mention is price, you get high quality for a great price. My brunch was priced at £6.90. The perfect price for a lunch deal in my opinion. I shall most certainly be back, and would highly recommend this place.

Poco is the best Tapas Bar around! Excellent food with the best atmosphere created by the staff,…read morethe music, the layout and the people who end up eating there. I think most of their meat is supplied from Pipers Farm, where the animals are treated incredibly well, they are mostly grass-fed and the meat tastes incredible. As someone who doesn't buy a lot of meat anymore, and I hardly eat meat when I eat out because I can't be sure of where the meat has come from, this is a massive plus! Thank you to all the staff for creating a unique experience!

We first entered the grand old bank that is now Cosy Club last week for breakfast and promised…read moreourselves that we would return for dinner, so this evening I had tapas (£11.50 for three small dishes) that consisted of small Cumberland sausages, chorizo and fish. The other dish was a New York steak ciabatta (with amazing chips). We ordered wine and washed the tasty meal down before following it up with sticky toffee pudding and a decidedly evil peanut butter cheesecake (which comes in a glass). We like it here. It's grand and light, and the food is good and reasonably priced. What would we change? We would upgrade the condiments, so that the ketchup is better, and that authentic maple syrup is used on our pancakes rather than golden syrup, which is thick and doesn't taste of much. We would also have preferred our meals a bit hotter, as we felt like we had to wolf it down before it got cold. But these are small niggles that can be easily fixed, and probably will be at some point if the professionalism of the staff is anything to go by. They're friendly, not over-familiar, not too pushy, and they seem to want to go out of their way to make sure you enjoy Cosy Club. The wine list is short, but will hopefully improve in time. As of writing, it's only been open a couple of weeks. I look forward to being able to buy Champagne by the glass!

Serving quality organic food and great coffee, it is often difficult to find a table in this surprisingly large café. (From the outside it looks like a small hobbit-built dwelling, but inside, the deceptively diminutive exterior, gives way to a spacious interior, with plenty of hobbit sized tables and seating.) It's possible to take food and drink outside to on of the picnic benches situated in the mini-adventure playground to the front of the building. There's quite a buzz to the place, especially in the mornings, with clusters of friends all indulging in animated discussions, although it's not uncommon to see people taking root for breakfast armed with the days copy of the Guardian. There's a very definite creative flavour to much of the chatter that goes on here, even the staff are all artists, musicians and writers. It's definitely one of Bristol's best child friendly bohemian spaces.

My relative took me here for coffee and a breakfast sandwich; my first meal in England ! It was absolutely fantastic.

Highly recommended NOTE: it may be hard to find for visitors to Bristol, but be patient and ask around. Better yet, google map it before you go, because you will not be disappointed.

Believe the hype…read more Kino is my favourite cafe in the UK. Trips from London to Bristol have been scheduled in the past for no other reason than a Kino Visit and will be scheduled in the future for no other reason for a Kino Visit. I do have friends in Bristol, but it's very much Kino first, friends second. And I say that only semi-jokingly. They have a space downstairs where they put on arts stuff. I once saw a play there called Whiskey Tango. The food and drink is all vegan, and is all great. I am a vegetarian, not a vegan, but it never feels like you're just eating a bunch of lentils here. The food has a substantial feel to eat, which they sort of engender by having vegan bacon in their sandwiches, etc. I usually go for a milkshake and the vegan breakfast. I feel an immense satisfaction after having consumed these items. There's so much variety on the menu that I should really try something new each time I come, although I usually end up sticking to the old favourites. There are so many cakes, biscuits, teas, sandwiches etc available that there really is something for everyone. Even the most hardened carnivore would struggle not to like this place. There's something about the space, too, that I like. You feel very free inside. It has a nice community feel to it. The staff have always been great. Give this place a go. But be careful. You might never leave.

Our little window table barely fit us but staff was friendly and took care of us. I picked this place because we don't like English food and I thought they served waffles! Pancakes with bacon instead and a white hot chocolate were amazing! It had a fascinating & eclectic charm that was just what I wanted to experience. Check it out!

The Bristolian is a lovely restaurant situated in an ideal location. Unfortunately the food has…read moremega gone downhill, and the prices like everywhere have gone up. It's a shame, what used to be a staple for hungover students and residents alike has now become more of a hipster mustdo and frankly too overpriced to go to on the regular. £8.70 for pan tumaca? £7.80 for a bacon sarnie?? They seem always busy so good luck to them but it's a shame as it was a super lovely place to go when feeling delicate back in the day, I do still visit occasionally but hmmm. The staff are always lovely and the cakes are excellent, just be prepared to spend over the odds.

With such an outstanding location overlooking Avon Gorge and the beautiful Clifton Suspension…read moreBridge, this café certainly makes the most of its location but doesn't score quite so highly with me on its food. It's part of the Avon Gorge Hotel, but it's open to non-guests too and is always heaving at weekends with tourists, visitors and hotel guests. You can get coffee all day, but check before you go there for breakfast, lunch or dinner because they're served between specific times. If it's the food you're going for, I'd say there are plenty of other establishments in Clifton offering better value and quality than the Bridge Café - but you're really paying for the whole experience here, particularly the elegant surroundings and the location, and I'd highly recommend eating here at least once if only to enjoy what has to be one of Bristol's most striking and spectacular views.

For views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge you can't beat The Bridge Cafe, which clings to the…read morerockface at the rear of the Avon Gorge Hotel. I went here for lunch today and took advantage of the £9.95 for two courses offer, which was incredibly reasonable given the spectacular location and tasty and well-presented food. The one thing that did surprise me was how quiet the restaurant was. Fair enough, it was a Monday lunchtime, but given the beautiful setting I thought it would have been more popular.

With its dark woody interior, pretty tables and chairs, mirrors, pictures and classic tea trays, it would be very at home on an old postcard. It can get quite packed during the lunch rush hour, of course, but there's plenty of room and lots of seating throughout and some outside on the pavement. Hot jacket potatoes with lots of different fillings, great sandwiches, cakes, fruit; it's all spread out for you to choose from - you fill your tray and then take it up to the counter and pay, so it's actually quite a quick and efficient process. You don't really have to do any ordering at all, and there's none of that frustrating nonsense you get in chain coffee shops where you have to repeart your order to a different person taking the money. I'd say it's not the best place for a quiet, peaceful coffee break on your own or for a catch-up with a friend, because it's quite busy and loud. It's more the sort of place you'd come to have a quick bite and a sit down during a shopping day in Broadmead. There are quite a lot of young kids and babies in here as it's very family-friendly and there's space for buggies. Just be prepared for a quick lunch in a comfortable cafe without lingering, and you won't be disappointed.

After 15 mins I had the option of taking my belongings with me- and potentially losing my seat, or taking my belongings with me, to collect the food.

Lady Marmalade I…read morewill start by saying that The Marmalade café is my favourite café in Bristol. Obviously it helps being just around the corner from home but at the same time the quality of food and friendly service are both excellent. Any good café can be judged by its breakfast and The Marmalade Café comes up trumps with high quality ingredients, cooked well for a cheap price. What more could you ask for? If you do order the cooked breakfast make sure you also ask for the veggie option of home made bubble and squeak to be added. This elevates the breakfast to another level. I now can't imagine ordering a breakfast without it. Apart form the breakfast the food is all great with interesting daily specials and cakes always available. Including homemade Marmalade of course. There is also a nice resident puppy called Doris who if you are lucky will say hello. Easily the best café in the Blackboy Hill area and I urge you to visit.

1 year later, this place is still awesome…read more Definitely hands-down the best breakfast place in Clifton. Their homemade marmalade is so good, I think about it throughout the year while I'm not in the UK. I'm not sure where they get their bacon, but it's absolutely killer. The anytime breakfast with a side of crumpets/marmalade with tea is about £8. You can't get a better deal than that for fresh, made-to-order food that's not greasy. I'm so glad this place has survived in an address that's historically had quite a bit of turnover.
