Family restaurants in Bristol

“We lucked into the most magical day on our Cotswolds tour with Chris as our guide! What to say? We were excited for it but the tour so exceeded even our most hopeful expectations. Chris brought us to several villages-- and on the fly curated the trip around our expressed interests and those of the additional guest (who was also an amazing human and like a friend by the end of the tour!). He is unbelievably knowledgable. But what sets Chris apart is the way he distills complex history into an understandable story that very quickly facilitates enhanced appreciation for the deep significance of these places beyond their obvious beauty. I took pages of notes and came away with an intense desire to learn more about the place and British history. As an added bonus, Chris is funny, witty, helpful, kind, and interested. He is passionate about history and traveling and that all just enhanced is story telling. It truly was an experience of a lifetime and we are so grateful to Chris for that gift. On the more business like side-- pick up was prompt, van was great, water appreciated, tea and lunch spots authentic and wonderfully charming. Can't stop looking at the pictures! if you're on the fence about this tour-- don't be-- GO!!!!!! THANK YOU CHRIS!!!!! :)”

“We were staying in the area and enjoyed a flavoursome meal at a fair price. The spices were exquisitely balanced. We left wishing we had this wonderful restaurant on our doorstep.”

“Ordered online for pick up, which was super easy - got a text to tell me pizza was ready. Pizza was absolutely delicious, great squooshy dough & really nice quality toppings. The lemon & basil dip was so good and seemed fresh, totally different from the sad warm mayo some places give you. If I was in Bedminster more I'd have a hard time not spending all my money here. Worth noting it's not the most rigid pizza (at least when it's been in a box for ten minutes) so you might want cutlery and/or napkins on hand.”

“Loved this place!! Tried the Falloumi and it tasted amazing. Would love to suggest this place for anyone who would like to try real Egyptian food made by lovely Egyptian people.”

“Staple Hill's best kept secret. No pretentious frills, just great tasting food in a chilled friendly space. All the tapas we tried were incredibly tasty, served fresh and hot. The cod and asparagus was sublime, just cooked to perfection. The staff are friendly and attentive, definitely has a family run feel. Highly recommended.”

“delicious, fresh, full of flavour, home-cooked, that's all that describes your food, I've forgotten about chain burger places for half a year now, these are the best burgers in Bristol! I've been there and seen how the owners prepare their orders with love for each customer! When ordering home delivery I enjoy fresh French fries with natural seasoning. I love your home-made sauces, and the lemonade is something! I love this place, I highly recommend it!”

“Spin city is a welcoming studio. All the instructors I’ve met are super friendly! However I started my pole journey with Frankie 3 years ago and I’ve never looked back! Such a friendly and encouraging instructor, I can’t recommend her enough!”

“We saw all the good reviews on google and we can say the 4.9 is well deserved. At first we were a bit skeptical about the location because it’s not in the city center where most restaurants are located. Luckily we made the decision to try it and we had very delicious food. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. If you’re in Bristol and looking for something to eat you should go here.”

“Despite all the brilliant reviews, I had an impression that this would be a slightly cheesy place because of the name and all the ‘coq’ puns. I couldn’t have been more wrong! It’s a very cool, intimate atmosphere with vibey music and lovely staff. The food was incredible - both the veggie and chicken options - and generous portions. We didn’t have room for pudding so took home a little tiramisu, which is also homemade. Super impressed, and we will be regulars - but please please open a branch in Devizes :-)”

“The experience at Zen Thai is incredible. We come most years on our annual trip to Somerset and the food is just outstanding. The service is also incredible, from everyone there but particularly Spencer. You really feel like there is real effort and care put into everything.”

“Lovely place, great coffee, and the owners are just the nicest! They always remember my coffee order off by heart which goes a long way :)”

“The food was incredible and we will be back! I recommend it to anyone who wants authentic Italian food. The staff are friendly and welcoming and I was able to practice my Italian. I was really happy with our meal”

“I absolutely loved the performing songs improv course I did last summer and am really looking forward to doing more courses next year. The theatre has wonderful teachers and has created a really welcoming community.”

“I am extremely pleased with the quality of service and the atmosphere is beyond expectations. You feel the vibe of an official pizza takeaway and feel super welcomed the moment you step foot. The quality of the pizza is way beyond expectation and you can tell that the recipe is specialised with care. I would most definitely recommend this place for pizza lovers. I want to also hint about the convenience of store location and the splendid job that the team make by being one of many limited takeaway stores within the vicinity.”

“Had their today’s special was really lovely. Just a reminder that the portions are quite big if you don’t usually eat a lot they do serve small portions (some of the items) Staff are very friendly and food served quite quickly.”

“Had a fantastic meal at COR who catered brilliantly for gluten free (coeliac) requirements. Most of the menu can be adapted to be gluten free and staff were brilliant at communicating allergen information which made me feel at ease right away. They even had a lovely gluten free bread to enjoy with the appetisers. The food itself was excellent - seasonal Mediterranean inspired dishes which had so much flavour. The Tropea onion with gorgonzola and hazelnuts was divine! My favourite meal I've had in Bristol in a long time!”

“Incredible! Went for our anniversary... and it was superb! We've been to Michelin Star Restaurants before that haven't even come close to Muse... 4 cocktails, 5 dishes, plus a bottle of wine, everything a delight with complete attention to detail. They also chucked in a Amuse-bouche and when they realised it was our anniversary a surprise sweet dish at the end... pictured. Go Here!”

“Well, what a restaurant. I would implore you to visit. The food is fabulous. More importantly the service is wonderful. We came for lunch and spent nearly 2 hours talking to the owners and staff ans more importantly tasting lovely food. At £35 for 3 courses, an absolute steal.”

“Such a beautiful place to stay! The staff were more than welcoming and nothing was too hard. The boho room which we stayed in was immaculate with the most beautiful interior and very clean. The service was excellent with fresh towels, tea, cups and coffee every day and free refrigerated sparking water, still water and milk. The most amazing part of our stay at St Michaels was the buffet breakfast which is definitely the best I’ve ever had. Located in such a stunning area, I couldn’t recommend a place more.”

“We had a lovely lunch at Amalfi and would highly recommend it. The service was exceptional. Our table was delayed but they gave us a complimentary drink when we arrived, and Tony and his team were brilliant throughout. Excellent food as well!”

“Very enjoyable meal at this local winner. Great food and service from a family restaurant that’s been here for a while. Nice location too by the bridge & castle for an after dinner walk.”

“The best Thai I’ve ever had in the UK! The food was delicious and the service was second to none. Staff always had big smiles on their faces and made us feel incredibly welcome. The kitchen staff occasionally bursting into song always put a smile on our faces too. An essential visit.”

“Lovely evening staff friendly food ace and fantastic local vino”

“This is a great Indian restaurant with bags of atmosphere and great service. I've been to this restaurant many times over the past 20 years and always had a good meal. It would be nice to see some imported bottled beers as well.”

“We booked the Olive Tree for a family celebration for 28 people. The food and service was excellent throughout. The whole of the downstairs was reserved for us. We had a number of special requests including a member of the group who was severely coeliac. The attention to detail from Louise and Petra to ensure that all requirements were met was excellent. The food was high quality and the meal was good value for money. I would recommend the Olive Tree without hesitation.”

“From the minute we arrived, the waiter made us feel so welcome. All the staff were very friendly and funny. The food was incredible - pizza and pasta alike - and the atmosphere was really buzzing. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone wanting authentic and great value Italian cuisine with brilliant service.”

“Wonderful atmosphere. Attentive, informative and kind service from Ellie. My first time trying Greek food and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter is a fussy eater and was eating hers and my food! A very welcome restaurant to Kingswood. We will be back, thank you! X”

“Came here with a group of friends for a birthday and we had the best night in a long time! Such a cool concept, really loved the decor and the ability to play a variety of games was a really fun addition. Amazing cocktails too!”

“Such a lovely restaurant, food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and accommodating”

“Recommended! Stumbled across this cosy little neighbourhood Thai and very much enjoyed my solo meal with great service, pleasant atmosphere and tasty food. Tip: the early bird special between 5.30 and 6.30pm is great value! They don't serve alcohol but I didn't miss it.”
