Bristol, Fish & Seafood Restaurant Guide

“Sister restaurant to Bravas, with similar inventiveness” – “you get brilliant tapas, in a noisy, converted shipping container in the dock area” at Kieran & Imogen Waite’s “very buzzy” operation. Fans feel it’s “perhaps not quite cheap and cheerful, but incredible value, with excellent seafood options”. “The shipping container environment is not a constraint and its first floor location gives good views over harbour” (and is “great outside on a warm day”).

“Boy is the fish good” at Mitch Tonks’s Bristol outpost – “shipped in daily from Cornwall, it couldn’t be fresher”. “Still a classic but perhaps getting a bit old-fashioned” after more than 15 years (it used to be called the Rockfish Grill) – it’s perfect “if you like white linen tablecloths in a ‘proper’ restaurant”. There are “some inventive flourishes mixed in with the standard fare”, and overall it’s “such a joy to eat there”.
