    The Gourmet Sandwich Club

    The Gourmet Sandwich Club is the most exciting thing to happen to Bristol lunch times since, well,…read moreever! Bristol has some great bread fillers, but they are all quite samey; coronation chicken, ham salad, chicken mayo, BLT. You know the drill! But the Gourmet Sandwich Club is much different. It is interesting, unique and feels special - it's very Bristol. The concept is simple; it's invite only (via facebook), happens only on Fridays and they create incredible sandwiches. And I mean incredible! Every week they have 3 or 4 options to choose from. You pay by pay-pal and then pick them up from The Canteen on Stokes Croft, with a one hour window between 1-2. Now that's some serious underground Sandwich dealing! I was lucky enough to be invited to their debut last week, and I was really excited about it. In fact, I had to slow myself down as I pretty much ran down Gloucester Road. I got to The Canteen and waited for a minute for mine to brought out to me. A girl came to meet me and handed me a brown cardboard box with my name artfully written on it, a glass bottle of some red juice and a little cup cake. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to eat it in the Canteen, but I wasn't walking anywhere. I wanted it immediately! So I sat down, opened it up and tucked in. I chose the 'Steak on a bed of feta and beetroot with wild rocket and a homemade honey and mustard dressing, all compacted in to a toasted Sesame seed baguette' and oh my goodness, it was amazing! The steak was perfectly cooked and the feta and beetroot worked so well with the meat. I don't exactly know what the red juice was, but I'm guessing it was a homemade raspberry and mint juice - because it had raspberries and mint leaves in it - *Sherlock! It was really refreshing and I really wanted more. I would definitely have bought another bottle if I could. Fridays have always been my favourite day of the week; The Gourmet Sandwich Club just made them a whole lot better!

    What a great idea. You sign up via Facebook, and place your order in advance for Friday lunchtime,…read moreand then pop down to the front of the canteen to collect your homemade delights at a set time on the Friday. I opted for the bombay lamb steak with a mint yogurt and honey slaw in a toasted roll. It came with a Cherry and Pomegranate juice, and chocolate cookie with fresh raspberries. I cannot over emphasise the freshness of the ingredients enough, and everything is homemade. The juice was light and refreshing, and you almost felt the goodness going into your body. The sandwich deliciously tasty and super yummy, and the cookie, well the perfect dessert - with the raspberries adding that little extra something. Highly recommended for £7.50 and a fantastic gourmet lunch.

The backs of buildings and not a lot else is your scenery on this long stretch of road. Then as you turn the last corner and round off to some business buildings you're struck with three cafes all huddled together as though hiding from greater Bristol. If it's a lively and exciting lunch break you want you can do no better than choosing Redcliffe's Sandwich Bar of the three. They've been here for eight years and it has to be one of Bristol's best kept secrets. They have a good range of sandwich fillings with all the usual baguettes, paninis and loaves from local bakers, and some very fine fresh coffee to boot. It is the vibe that really gets this place going. The staff mix up their days choosing crazy themes to pull in the people. I've been there on Elvis day, 80s day and a Grease themed day. All pretty similar but who cares? They dance, sing and laugh constantly, turning any standard lunch break into a happy music-filled one. The owner is a delightful woman with enough stories for ages and some really pretty amazing tattoo work. Check it out today.

    Lovely cafe this. I used to almost always grab a sandwich and run back to my desk (Redcliffe's do a…read morereally great filling panini). They do nice coffees, soft drinks and crisps - I bought some monster munch from here, hurrah! Nice change from all the super gourmet crisps normally on sale in sandwich shops. Its definitely worth taking the time out to sit here and enjoy your lunch though. Its a very pleasant - sun streams in at lunchtime through the large window, its very cosy and welcoming and the staff are friendly. A bit of a hidden gem this place.

The premise is - you choose your bread, you choose your spread, you choose your fillings and they make it for you. Sounds like Subway? Wash your mouth out you filthy heathen. This is no ordinary sandwich shop, this is a quality, lovely, extra bacon please sandwich shop. Yep, it can be a bit pricey but they stuff the sandwiches so full I actually can buy one sandwich and it lasts me two days, making it much much cheaper than any packaged sandwich. Everything is very fresh and clean, lots of nice crisps and cakes to add onto your order as well and your everyday lunch has suddenly got very interesting. Yum. TOP TIP: If you are ordering lots or just hate queuing, you can order online for any of their shops as long as you do it before 11.30am and you just pick it up at the till at the time you want.

The competition is fierce, but Philpotts on Marsh Street comes top of my list every time. Don't be put off by how busy they get between 12am and 2pm - just remember that they're busy for a reason! Will a fantastic range of freshly prepared fillings to change to, a variety of breads and rolls and tasty crisps and chocolate bars for a lunch time treat you can't go wrong. Philpotts like to give the magic touch: olive oil instead of butter, seasoning on your filling - they put the joy back into the institution of a lunch time sarnie! Check their website for their daily specials, or to pre-book your order before 11:30 am. Once you eat here, you'll be a Philpotts devotee.

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.
