Restaurants in Bristol
Bristol has a rich mix of restaurants from many countries so you can choose anything from curry at Rajpoot Restaurant in Clifton to European food with a modern twist at Bell's Diner in Montpelier. The South West of England produces fine local produce, which appears on the menu at the Harbourside's Bordeaux Quay. Check restaurant bills as service is often not included.
Riverstation
Waterside dining
The Riverstation, located right on the riverside in the city centre, is a
popular place for dinner. The European cuisine reflects seasonal variations
so the menu changes regularly and includes dishes such as hake stuffed with
fresh herbs. The bright, modern restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere where
diners can linger over a freshly cooked meal.
