Foodie gifts in Bristol

“Had a lovely meal today, staff were very friendly and attentive. Great service, food was presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. Though a chain restaurant, the energy and welcoming nature of the staff and atmosphere made it feel far from it! Fantastic.”

“Ive been celiac for over 10 years and the gf pizza was the best I ever had. Other ones I had at other places are usually like cardboard. Staff were brilliant as well. Going again when next in bristol”

“I absolutely love this place. There is everything you need in one place .the staff are always very friendly and helpful”

“We are a perfectionist, hardly leave reviews, however this place absolutely deserves one! No fault to the food, simply delicious and cooked to perfection. The service was wonderful we felt we were in knightsbridge (London). What we loved most is that this place is a true Italian unlike most Italian restaurants around which are a company rather than a family business. Great design everything matched everything with excellent parking facilities right next to the restaurant. We shall definitely be retuning weekly. Thank you Ben&Sarah!”

“A little gem in front of college green serving an excellent coffee. The coffee here tastes different and refreshing. It's a small independent outlet run by lovely welcoming people. They also have excellent food options with snacks and lunches including a full vegan menu. The interior is beautiful and done tastefully, there is bigger space downstairs which can accommodate more people. Do visit this place to have an excellent coffee when you are in the heart of the city and in middle of all the action, it's quite a refreshing break.”

“Best quality kebab house on Fishponds Road (and the chips are crispy!)”

“Fantastic experience! Coffee was great and cheap!! Such a friendly owner and fellow customers. Went in on my own and left feeling like I'd met my new family!!! Will def return.”

“What a treat this was, bought as a gift for my birthday last year, finally we decided that was long enough. A fantastic experience, with a fantastic host. All of the chosen wines and cheeses were simply delicious, as were the accompaniments. Thoroughly recommend this experience. We would love to go back and do it all again. 10/10”

“Such a quality experience! Ron Answered every question asked and learned so much that we can use at work and even just cool information that’s nice to know and have an awareness about the industry☺️ definitely recommend to any independent coffee shop”

“Incredible Italian Deli in bath with an array of great ingredients as well as some amazing sandwiches made fresh right in front of you. So fresh that you can see them baking the bread before putting the toppings in it! I asked what they recommended and went with the number 3 which came with mortadella, pesto, burrata etc. It was delicious and I wish we had more places like this in Brighton.”

“Love this place and so lucky to have it in Weston. The paninis are incredible along with the pizzas with great quality ingredients. We recommend it to everyone we know as we’re keen to support them. Don’t bother getting a sandwich from parsons, go here ! I”

“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.”

“Amazing place with lovely food. I thoroughly recommend the Every Day Breakfast. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and the portions are very generous.”

“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.”

“This place continues to be the best fine dining experience around. The menu is compact and exquisite and everything is cooked to perfection. The wine list is very comprehensive and advice is offered on pairing with the menu. All in all the best place to eat in Thornbury.”

“Really cute little place. You need to get there nice and early to ensure you can get a seat if not you may need to wait outside for some time. The service was lovely and the food was so refreshing, definitely a great find! If only there was one in my local area! We tried their obscure flavoured lattes (banana bread and matcha mango) and really enjoyed them, definitely worth the try if youre open to a range of flavours and love coffee as much as we do!”

“Came in only for coffee. Was lovely and chilled place to sit down. Lots of plants! The coffee was delicious. Had a selection of cakes !”

“10/10 easily. I simply cannot find a single fault with the dining experience here. Staff members were all incredibly pleasant, service was extremely nice. Food and drinks were excellent and completely out of this world, worth every penny. The atmosphere in the evening was amazing, and makes it the perfect experience all around. Definitely recommend and would return, Amelie was stellar with her service.”

“Pros Best place Near to clifton Delicious indian food Limited menu Best ambience - but we asked for sofa and we did not get it as they told all are booked, and most of them are empty and waiting to be filled with prior reservations . Cons Prior reservation recommended Little overpriced- but as location and ambience is sensible”

“Decided to go for a last minute meal out on a Saturday. Contacted the restaurant in the morning to reserve and so glad we did! Very small, intimate Indian restaurant set in an old wine cellar. The waiting staff were just the correct level of attentive. The music was just loud enough to drown out the discussions around you without being too loud and the found was delicious. Service was perfect. Each dish came perfectly timed after the next and like always we couldn’t go to an Indian without having some poppadoms to start! Meal was great from start to finish. Will definitely be returning.”

“We ate here on a Thursday night. The food was fantastic and certainly not expensive. The menu choice was really good, and the quality and presentation was great. It's our favourite Thai restaurant and we'll definitely go back.”

“Had the most wonderful time at Olea. The atmosphere was great, staff were super friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to be back - I want to try everything on the menu!”

“The staff were really lovely. They weren’t due to open for another 30 minutes. Seating is limited, even more so because it was raining. The staff were really kind and made me food before they were supposed to open. The short rib was beautiful - really tender and the meat fell off the bone. The chips were good, plentiful, well seasoned and crispy. And they packed my doughnuts in a box to go at my request. It was the best meal during my stay in Bristol.”

“Fantastic coffee, great selection of treats and a loyalty programme that’s brilliant for when you come back for more”

“One of my favourite places to shop, for snacks, ingredients on the upper floors. (Especially Konjac and Gluten/bean curd snacks) Your best go to for affordable tasty food! Extremely helpful staff who will guide you towards anything you're looking for, please visit, expand your platter!”

“OMG what a day! Me and my partner had a cheese tour as my birthday present. God do they know alot about Cheese. We were so blown away by the proces it was so interesting day. Were going back as food in Cafe was amazing.”
