Among the floating delights you have in store are drinking cider at The Apple, dancing at Thekla and eating at Glass Boat. This small but elegant restaurant has beautiful views of the Welsh Back which are evening more stunning in the evening. Perfect for romantic meals or special occasions this restaurant will not disappoint. An evening at the floating restaurant doesn't come cheap, but it's certainly worth the hefty price tag. The food, the service and the views are some of the best you'll find in Bristol. A unique and unforgettable dining experience.

Our dinner itself was brilliant, yet not overly expensive, and my starters consisting of sliced duck meat was exquisite, very tasty. I succombed to a "moules-frites" main course, and while the mussels were well cooked and tasty, I have to say that the chips were not truly the french fries you'd get in Brussels, the mussel haven... Anyway, the home-made mayo and tartare sauces were great, and aside from the surprise of seeing my colleague getting served her ordered of a bread platter (I'd never seen that, ever before), the night was a great one. Today I finished my other colleague's spaghetti, which we took away at the end, and they reminded me "Go back to Bristol !"

Downstairs is a cafe/bar and delicatessen and up stairs is the restaurant. I've never actually eaten in the main restaurant as the food served in cafe is of a very high standard and there is always a great selection that changes frequently. The Deli also sells a lovely selection of fresh bread, cheese, cakes and other great food. It's a great place to buy gifts or create a food hamper. Today I went for a tart with celeriac remoulade. I can't remember what the tart was called but it was delicious. My mum had the fish and chips and which is a Bordeaux quay fav for her and it didn't disappoint!

Flinty Red will survive though, I think. Corks of Cotham, the nearby independent wine merchants (also well worth a visit) are behind this restaurant, with the focus being on getting the perfect bottle to complement your meal. They're passionate about wine here and will take the time and effort to make sure you get something you're happy with. The food's French and Spanish influeced and very much made to match the wine list (which with 100 choices really is comprehensive). The food is well sourced, with plenty of care and attention put in. Whilst you might end up spending a pretty penny of wine the food is reasonably priced, which means you can feel a bit less guilty for spending so much on drink. Not to busy at the moment, but still a decent atmosphere. Head here especially if you're a wine afficienado, but even if you're not.

It's got a nice romantic feel to it, especially if you come here at night as every table has a candle on it. As such, it's not really a drinkers pub, but more a family orientated/civilized kind of establishment, but this is no bad thing. There's a good range of ciders on tap, and especially on a summer's day, it's a perfect palce to sit down by the water and sup on a cider, and they've got a large outdoor seating area to allow you to do so. It is a little bit on the steep side in terms of price, but just about worth it if you're coming for a civilized drink or two.

I'm talking about a ploughman's, or fish and chips, or my favourite, welsh rarebit (it's not just cheese on toast if it's cooked properly) with the best homemade chips I have ever had. The service was lovely and friendly, even though it was boiling and very busy. The meals at this pub are served with proper chutneys, cheeses and sauces and actually go some way to convincing you that we do actually have national dishes in this country that people might like to eat. Seriously though, try the Welsh rarebit with a side order of chips and a bitter shandy...that's British summer time...you can keep your fruity Pimms Boris! We actually got off to a bad start as when we arrived all of the outside tables were reserved! So it's the hottest day of the year and a pub with lovely food and a beer garden is losing business by reserving most of their outside tables and not letting people sit on them even when they are empty. This is their choice, but a bit of a ridiculous system to be honest. You are actively turning business away for people who aren't there and could show up at a later time. So my suggestion is book a table. And ok so you wish the pub was facing the other way; more toward the river and less towards the road, but now I'm just nit picking.

I've been here several times and I have never been disappointed. I am Lithuanian by heritage, not…read morePolish, but many of the dishes on the menu remind me of my childhood in Toronto growing up in the Polish/Eastern European enclave. I am a slave to pierogies and cannot get enough of them. When I first went to Stacja there was only the shop couple doors down from Stacja that had any sort of Eastern European food. Luckily there has been more shops opening up, but Stacja is still the place to go if you want it cooked right. The ambiance of the restaurant is fairly generic, rather frugal looking, but the food is cooked simply and well. The wait staff are Polish as are the cooking staff, and it reminds me of the food I ate when visiting the Suwalki region of Poland back in the 1988. The cocktails are wunderbar as well. Took some friends here and they couldn't get enough of the Tequila Sunrises. Nor of the fact that there is a pool table in the middle of the restaurant. So whilst digesting all the scrummy food you can hit a few balls. I would recommend this place. The sausages, pierogies, soups, breads, salads, and saurkraut are out of this world.
