After going here I came to realise that I don't have a sweet tooth, I have sweat teeth. That's how much my sweet intake has increased. I blame their donuts for that. oh.. .their donuts.. They have a special flavour every month! See their instagram for the donut of the month and other special updates !

I mean... their pizza... here... we are talking about the proper pizza! We have been there numerous times and every time I say to myself "you know what I will try something else"... but I just can't.. I need to have their pizza.! piiiizzzzaaaaa... !!!! exceptionally creative and delicious vegetarian options! Their jazz lounge music is a perk definitely and with a glass of wine (and probably not pizza) it is a good spot for a date for two :)

This restaurant is relatively new as it opened in October 2018. You may not find it on google maps just yet but its called "Molto Buono" and its on 59 Park Street. It's been a while since I got excited with pizza. Especially when you can get such a good quality pizza (i loooove pizzas) for as much as £6.50! Simple menu, basic ingredients and combinations but so much flavour in it that you would want to go back again the next day and try something different. Paws up for their pasta dishes too as they are home made.

Their food is scrumptious, delicious, full of flavour, spice and heat. read no more and satisfy your Indian tummy rumbles here - the rice pudding as a dessert it's a tasty option that takes its simplicity to a whole new level. small plates, 3 per person are indeed a good ratio and a way to explore more dishes. But, the larger meals should be neglected at all. special highlight for our pescetarian tongue is the shrimps cooked with coconut ingredients (oil, paste, milk) in various ways - yum yum yum

the cafe has its home in Bath but it recently found its way to Bristol too. it is in a nice located area, at the Cargo's behind M-Shed museum, which has lately picked up the locals interested. our suggestion is that savoury plates/options/pastries etc are better and more tasty than their sweets which we have found a bit dry or spongy. However, the muffins are indeed a sweet mouthful expression to this critique as they hit some good flavour tones!

Our falafel favourite - by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar ...!!!!!!!! this is a cafe/restaurant like place with some sits to eat in. They also have a branch opposite Wills Memorial on Park street or their kiosk shop in Broadmead or St Nicolas market. Yes, it sounds that they have a lot! Thank goodness for that, our tummies greatly appreciate this :)

Probably THE most yummy, cheese, melting, breath taking sandwich in a 5 mile radius! We think that this is the only occasion where coffee comes second (!!!) as their sandwich are so delicious that they come first before anything else! It's only a short walk from here, give it a try on your way to/from the station and it will be worth it :)

You would enjoy the view of the river over a tasty food and a good pint of beer.! It is also a good spot for a brunch but you should either book a table or get there early.

It is the ultimate burger place. I can feel the cheese melting in my mouth as I am writing this. Get yourselves out there now and be patient for a proper burger experience coming to you shortly! might take you a while to decide your burger combo, check out their menu online before you make your way there :p

We tried a good 90% of their menu for their vegetarian friendly dishes and I can assure you it is worth your trip. Revisiting their menu and food in my mind. Now I want a bento Katsu curry!

Oh la la, the bakehouse! So many delicious goodies here, I cannot recommend it enough. They also have gluten free options and vegan cakes which you can actually eat and enjoy without breaking your teeth or questioning the existence of sugar or some sort in what you are eating. It is all very much real and satisfy both your eye and stomach once you tuck in.

If we could go there and eat something or drink there scrumptious chocolate without gaining a pound, we would. We would even move there if it was possible. Sadly, this is just daydreaming and perhaps the only pitfall of this place. Go there, satisfy your sweet tooth, grab a cookie sandwich (yes, they are very much real in this life and place) and forget about life for those chocolatie bites that you will have!

This is a hybrid of a food scene, neighbourhood, and scenery as you are next to the river. Lots of options to eat, nimble and of course walk around by the river. Near to MShed and close enough to SS Great Britain it is a good pit-stop for your energy.

Simple menu and delicious. This is more than just a quick fix from a restaurant that it is around the corner, this is a feast for your senses. Go for it, dig into that ramen of yours! A simple and straightforward menu but feedback tells us that they truly know what they are doing with their food.

Drinks & Nightlife

A hidden gem I would dare say! Busy during the nights with music but loud enough to hear your friend next to you :p Grab one of their cocktails and you won't regret it! Go early and you will get a 2-4-1 cocktail, splendid if you ask me!

Fancy beer? Ale? lager? IPA? strooooong IPA? then that is your place! the famous brand has found its way in Bristol to have its own pub. Good for the beer and a chill out atmosphere with some board games to play if the group chat or your date is not going that well :p skip the their pizza though, it's not particularly tasty and so better satisfy your appetite elsewhere.

The selection of tap beers is insane! And delicious!!! Stout, ale, lager, IPA, whatever you want is there. It is a nice spot by the river facing castle park with spaces to seat outside or indoors. A bonus of this new brewpub (it opened in June 2019) is that it offers some scrumptious stonebake pizzas at a fair good price considering the location and place. As pizza-lovers, we highly approve the pizzas. Drink+pizza=lottery ticket won! Enjoyyyyy :)

The Brewery is a bit further out from the city centre but you will rewarded for your trip if you go their with award winning beers! (See what I did there with the “award” rhyme?:p I am potentially tipsy with a 5.5% alc. lager now that I am typing this).

Educate yourselves ! Some interesting exhibitions are hosted here from time to time, check out their schedule and book in advance if needs be! You will also get some nice view from that side of the river as well. There is a cafe at the museum, an ice cream spot further down but you can also make a turn to the left and find plenty of options at the Cargos' area there!

Eeeeeeverybody knows suspension bridge. Eeeeeverybody talks about it. You can't say that you have visited Bristol if you haven't been here! So, up on your feet and go! Buses 8 or 9 from the City Centre, close to Primark the bus stop, are a faster way to get there. With a good weather though, it is nice to walk your way up and see a bit more of the city

Sightseeing

It is quite a hill you know when you first see it... But it is an iconic point in Bristol not only to go out for food or drink but one of the buildings hosts a Banksy graffiti and further up you will see Wills Memorial Building which is a central point of reference for the University of Bristol
