Fine dining at its best. Had o lovely meal here last night, some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. Great food, good service and lovely ambience.

Beautiful tasting menu – lovely service We had a beautiful dinner this evening at the Chefs table, service was brilliant. Highly recommend the tasting menu, we really couldn’t find fault with anything. Will definitely be returning soon.

I looked on line and The Chef’s table popped up. Visited on Friday 13th with great excitement. Was disappointed there were no white tablecloths, but just a small matter. A rather cold venue though, maybe some warmer lighting somewhere – we were there for lunch and it was sunny day (for a change) but it still had a chilly ambiance. However – the food was amazing! Fabulous – so nice to eat not just pretty on a plate but plenty! Only downside was my friend said her lemon sole could have been warmer. Plates were warm, so that was a tad disappointing. read less

What a fantastic birthday This has to be the best restaurant in Bristol at the moment – the service was brilliant the wine esp Chateau Neuf de Pape and the taster menu just mouth watering

Once inside it’s a really nice cosy restaurant with nice decor. The window seat we had was really pleasant with my partner facing the window where you could watch the chefs cook and me being able to see a TV screen showing inside the kitchen. There is always something nice about watching a plate up! So much delicacy and precision it’s a joy to watch. We went for the taster menu and every course was extremely well presented. Staff were friendly especially the guy who spent most of the time with us, we even had the chief speak to us at the end which was a nice touch. I did have a concern over eating scallops due to potential allergic reaction and this was easily swapped out. The Marbled Terrine was so good, it’s worth coming back just for this especially after learning more about it from the head chief and the fact it nearly never made the menu. The Fillet of beef was melt in the mouth and full of flavour and was another favourite for us both. Would love to come back soon. read less

We both had the tasting menu which was a delight. It consisted of 5 courses ( the main dish was a choice between beef and lemon sole) Unfortunately they had not been able to source the sole so I had Hake. The waiter explained the fish is delivered fresh each day from Brixham. As each course arrived the dish was described to us. At the end of the meal the chef came to chat to us which was a nice touch. From where I had been sitting I had been watching her in the kitchen meticulously presenting the dishes. The meal was wonderful . I look forward to returning. read less

The Chef’s table was recommended by a friend and it certainly lived up to the praise. The atmosphere is friendly and cosy, and it looked suitably festive. We chose the cheaper menu, as I don’t eat meat, so the tasting menu wasn’t suitable. Our starters looked so appetising, and were presented with such skill by a lovely young lady who checked we had enjoyed our meal at the end. The three courses were as delicious as they looked. I started with perfectly cooked scallops, while my friend had a selection of salmon tasters. The sea bass was fabulous, again beautifully presented and succulent. The accompanying vegetables enhanced the meal and complemented the fish perfectly. Apparently the duck was really special too. The chocolate bombe was great fun, as it was set alight and smothered in chocolate sauce, while my friend’s figgy pudding was also a winner. The set menu is not cheap, but we thought the sense of occasion, friendly atmosphere, high quality of the food and the charm of the staff all more than justified it. We shall be coming back for our birthdays and we shall both celebrate occasions with other friends there. A delightful end to the year. Thank you so much! read less

Xmas experience Visited with family to celebrate Xmas, food and service was outstanding. Would very much recommend you have this experience. Wonderful to watch the chef team at work.

Worth a visit!! I had the scallops to start, the beef for main, and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Everything was superb! Well worth a visit!

I was watching the kitchen while we were waiting for our appetizers. These guys are working so hard and yet they are extremely passionate about what they do. Make sure you book your table in advance as the passion of there chefs is reflected by booking availability. One thing I found unusual is that the food was not explained as served but that could be because we have warned our waitress that we are a bit limited in time. Overall great experience. We will definitely be back. read less

Superb food for both meat eaters and vegetarians, with an incredible variety of foods for both. The restaurant was cozy on a wet autumnal day, with a relaxed atmosphere.

Sadly we will not go again this year but will look forward to 2023! We enjoy every mouthful with flavours and textures that awake your taste buds. This menu certainly did not disappoint. The atmosphere, the team and the food make this a great place to eat – you feel very at home but at the same time special. We were fortunate enough to visit a Michelin starred restaurant recently, and, whilst it was excellent, we felt that Chef’s Table is better. We find ourselves comparing all restaurants to The Chef’s Table – it has become our “yard stick”! It is hard to pick out a favourite dish but my Lemon Sole was stunning, who would have thought to serve it with a scallop and wood mushroom fricassee? It worked so well, I was really sad when I finished the last fork full. I did grab a taste of my husband’s fillet and it was beautifully cooked and tasty. If you want a desert to die for then the bread and butter with marzipan and marmalade icecream is a must. There is a very good choice of wines if you do not go for the “pairing” option – we had a bottle of the Familia Rioja – very nice and reasonably priced. We wish we lived locally so we could go more often – as you may have guessed we just love it here! We do not normally photograph our food but we just had to this time, we have attached our pictures so everyone can see how beautifully presented it is. read less

The seasonally changing menu is carefully thought out and all the dishes are presented beautifully. I much enjoyed scallops as a starter but looked with envy on the woodland mushroom tartlet which one of friends ordered. The beef fillet which followed was a triumph. This is definitely fine dining but the great thing is there is a very unfussy atmosphere and all the staff are relaxed and friendly. We certainly appreciated the interesting chat with the chef at the end of the meal. Only one word of warning – the restaurant is quite small and therefore does not have a waiting area. It is best not to arrive before the allocated time. read less

After a busy day of travel and a last minute reservation we sat down to this quaint neighborhood restaurant. Right from the get go the staff were inviting, friendly and very knowledgeable. The a-la-cart menu changes month by month and this menu was new for November 2022/January 2023 and full of great creative dishes. Something for everyone really. We shared the Chalk Stream Trout, the Wood Mushroom Tartlet and the Velouté apps and they were so so tasty. For our mains we chose Venison and the Hake, the both were spectacular, very flavorful and perfect portion sizes. The Wine list is small but very well chosen with an option for most palates. However the Ginger Cake and Pavlova desert options were off the hook! What a truly memorable dining experience!! read less

Front of house were so friendly and spent time explaining about the various menus and drinks available. We went for the tasting menu – what a treat – we paid a little more and had chateaubriand as our main meal. Out of this world – I really did not want to finish it – it was so good. At the end of the sous chef came out to check all had been OK. A lovely, lovely dining experience. We will definitely be back. read less

Last week was our 7th visit and once again we were completely blown away by the flavours presented to us in the tasting menu. Duck, Scallops, Steak and Brill – all beautifully prepared and cooked with love. Every mouthful was delicious. Desert was based around a chocolate sponge – I am not a great lover of chocolate deserts but this one had me at the first spoonful. The set cheese and chive custard was a first for us and it was amazing. We do not have the wine flight but there is a great choice of wine by the glass or bottle to accompany your meal. I appreciate that some would say that this is an expensive meal – I would say that the quality and flavours are worth every penny. Thank you to the team at Chef’s Table – we will be back! read less

This wasn’t unexpected – menus are available online, and the quality was generally excellent. The starters were very good and I can recommend the seared scallops. It is such a shame that they fell down with my main course – venison – which had obviously been left alone whilst the other dishes (brill, red mullet and carrot cannoli) were prepared. The result – it was cold and had to be sent back. Everyone finished their main courses and then mine arrived as it should have been in the first place, and I ate in splendid isolation. Desserts were all delicious, and the wines on offer are extremely reasonably priced (for a restaurant) The Sous chef then arrived to enquire about our experience and I had to note my reservations – if you have Michelin star hopes you cannot make mistakes like this. It didn’t ruin the experience, but tainted it slightly, and at this price, well, you expect a little slice of perfection. Mostly it was. The strudel with raisin ice cream, almond crumble and cider reduction was almost a bargain at under £10 (same price as one glass of Macon Lugny Burgundy) So close to excellent, but sorry I have to take off a star. read less
