Bank was the perfect location for our wedding meal. We've had rave reviews about the food, wine and cocktails from all of our family and friends, and couldn't have asked for a more accommodating, kind, friendly and professional set up. Couldn't recommend it more and can't wait to go back.
A really warm and friendly experience from start to finish. The team were quick to get back to me after a last minute change of plans to my booking and were able to accommodate an addition to our table. The smell on walking in to the restaurant was enough to get anyone's juices flowing, and this was immediately backed up by the attentive and friendly service. The food obviously was star of the show, and there was more than enough to go around, leaving just enough room for a small dessert (rude not to!). Even when the time came to give up our table to another lucky diner, it was prompted delicately and we did not feel rushed in any way. I would highly recommend for a fantastic meal, and will be back - and I now need to try Lapin on the Harbourside, if Bank is anything to go by.
Simple menu but the food did not disappoint. Experienced the shared starters followed by shared 500g sirlion Hereford steak with fries and salad. Terrific. Deserts were e excellent and finished off the evening perfectly.
We tried the Feast menu and it was aptly named! Lovely food and generous portions. The pork cutlet was nicely brined and cooked to perfection. The wine flight was well chosen. The service was friendly and helpful and the ambience was good. Overall great value. Will definitely return.
We had the Feast tasting menu at Bank and it was exceptional from start to finish. At just £49 per person it felt like incredible value for money, especially considering the quality, portion sizes, and variety of dishes served. The photos online really do not do it justice, everything looks and tastes even better in person. We started with the grilled Nocellara olives with Calabrian butter alongside smoked nuts, pretzels, seeds and crackers, a brilliant opener, rich and savoury yet light enough to set the tone. The middle courses were outstanding. The violet artichokes with tomato and peanut sauce and green harissa were vibrant and full of depth. The barbecued tomato with crispy polenta and sundried XO packed in layers of flavour. The smoked pork belly with pickled watermelon salad and mission crab butter was a real highlight, smoky, tender pork with the freshness of the salad balancing it beautifully. And the sourdough focaccia with smoked garlic oil was not only delicious on its own, but perfect for mopping up that incredible mission crab butter. The main course of landrace pork chop with miso mustard sauce was cooked to perfection, juicy, smoky and flame grilled with just the right balance of richness. The sides completed the dish perfectly: French fries with black garlic amino butter were indulgent and packed with umami, while the baby gem salad with smoked garlic Caesar, parmesan and crouton was fresh yet bold. Dessert was a knockout. The whipped Basque cheesecake with Sichuan strawberry and pretzel crunch was light, creamy and full of flavour, with just the right amount of texture from the crunch. Portions throughout were generous, this really is a “feast” menu, not a tiny tasting menu. Every dish felt complete and satisfying, with the progression from start to finish flowing beautifully. Overall, the balance of flavours, the smoky flame grilled cooking, and the generosity of the portions made this one of the best tasting menus I have had. For £49 per person, it is outstanding value. Bank is a must visit, the flavours, the cooking, and the attention to detail make it unforgettable.
Small plates, excellent service, busy but not rushed. Fabulous food. Highly recommended. Approx £160 for three including drinks and the full menu of small plates plus dessert
The food was WONDERFUL!! The owner was serving us and was ready interested in the food and drinks and what we enjoyed etc. Very attentive staff, nice atmosphere. My favourite dish was the mushroom salad. The peach old fashioned was beautiful. Overall very tasty and great restaurant. Also DOG friendly and open in the day for brunch too!
Wow! One of my new favourite spots in Bristol. Food, service, drinks - all 11/10 Super interesting menu, every dish had an unexpected combination or something we hadn't tried before. With the menu changing regularly with seasonal produce. Special shout out to the roast potatoes with a cheddar foam, these were absolutely insane. Probably the best potato dish we've ever eaten. Looking forward to coming back again!
Had heard a lot about BANK and was excited to try based on good recommendations. Got to say, I was not let down…food, drinks, service all excellent! Thank you for being an awesome addiction to the Bristol food scene and the creativity in the cocktail menu has to be applauded!
Very delightful brunch, with nice drinks. We had the iberica chorizo with sourdough and tomatoes, and the smoked salmon chive crumpet. Highly recommend trying both, but slightly preferred the crumpet as it is a bit softer. The sourdough was quite crispy, so I also really enjoyed it. Overall a very nice experience and worth a try.
