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.

Full breakfast was as you'd expect loved the spicy beans and supersoft scramled egg. Sweet pot hash yumm and a perfect sunny side egg like I couldn't make it better(being a chef)! Smoked salmon on toast was nice nothing special. Basil lemonade worth mentioning, order if you there!:) Overall very satisfied with food prices are reasonable for a calm chilled place.

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

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.

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!

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.

However, don't let that put you off. Whilst it does have a full lunch and dinner menu breakfast/brunch is probably what it does best. On weekend mornings, you'll see it chock-a-block with people having smoked salmon bagels and cappuccinos, and this is the best time to visit. The evening meals are delicious though. The place is candle lit in the evenings too, transforming making for a quite intimate experience. This really has got the fundamentals of a good restaurant exactly right. The service is as sharp as anywhere else I've been recently, and you can see that plenty of attention has been given to the interior design. All the food I've had has been delicious. Having gushed about it I should warn that it's certainly not cheap, which is unsurprising given the location (Clifton Village) and probably explains the clientèle. An evening meal for five tops out at over a hundred pounds - this is somewhere for special occasions, or just when you're feeling rich. A piece of toast and a coffee won't cost that much though, so go for breakfast if you haven't got a spare fifty quid lying around in your wallet. Certainly don't pass it up completely just because of the prices, it's a delightful place that's should be on the list of places to go of anyone visiting in Bristol.
