Caroline and Miles guided us through each sumptuous taste sensation course by course with passion and knowledge . We have been to several Michelin starred tasting restaurants before and this was truly up there in quality. For friendly atmosphere and value for money you can’t beat this in my opinion . Conrad and his fabulous team deliver an experience that we are very keen to repeat as soon as possible . read less

I can’t complain it but when we are doing our booking we mentioned it was our anniversary. When we arrived there they reserved a table next to the toilet and they didn’t say anything about it. Especially when we had our lunch in a different nice restaurant they printed a menu for us our names on it and they congratulated us. When we compare them and When it’s your anniversary and pay a much money for it we were really disappointed. read less

Great!! A great dinner. Fantastic food and very cozy atmosphere. The whole service was excellent. I hope we can return to Bristol and repeat the Chefs table experience.

I had heard such great things and was keen to try the taster menu with my friend. We booked the wrong slot but the staff accomodated and we had the full taster menu. You can watch the chef’s work up magic in the kitchen too. This is such a well thought out concept, great price point too. I plan to return soon and experience it all over again. A must try and a true gem in Bristol. read less

Typically for a taster menu you get 2-3 small starters, a couple of larger “mains”, maybe some cheese and/or a pudding or two. Well the 2 starters were, as expected, quite small. Beautifully presented but too many elements. So, in what is already a small dish, each element is tiny and barely distinguishable. Among its 6 elements the Mille-Feuille included “Brandy-Glazed Carrots”. My piece (singular) of carrot was a very thin, star shaped slice less than a centimetre across. No taste of carrot, no taste of brandy. The scallops were lovely but sadly overpowered by the “Jalapeno Relish”. Again, too many elements. The red mullet main was a good size portion but again no taste of “Anchovy Emulsion” or “Plankton Oil”. I think the Chef’s Table is trying to be unnecessarily clever with its food. Clearly there is a lot of skill and imagination here, it just needs to be refocussed. So, what else? Its was a hot summer’s evening and no obvious aircon. We were in the smaller of the 2 dining areas, just inside the front door. Here the tables are uncomfortably close together – too easy to overhear your neighbour, often difficult to hear what the waitress is saying. Maybe the larger area near the kitchen is more spacious. Background music, fortunately not too loud but nonetheless unnecessary in such a small restaurant. What was excellent was the wine flight and the sommelier. He was very engaging and knew his stuff (based on our pretty good knowledge of wine). An interesting wine selection and good portions. Many thanks to him. Nice that the chef (or one of them) came out to chat at the end but difficult with all noise from other tables. Overall, a little expensive although we would probably go again. read less

We tried the 5 course tasting menu rather than the 7 course which had 3 puddings. Each course was delicious and the flavours delighted the palate. All vegetables were seasonal and perfectly cooked.

Each course was well thought out, a feast for the eyes and tastebuds. I liked that a couple of courses you had an either/or option. This gave our group of 4 the option to have a taste of everything. I love a wine flight and when it’s so well explained and presented you feel you’ve been on a journey. The whole evening was such a pleasure and if you’re looking for a treat you need look no further. read less

I have to say the food was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection and served with a smile, they say you eat with your eyes mine were drooling it looked so good, the taste and texture was well thought out. Did I say the food was awesome ?? A nice touch was when the chef came out to chat, she wanted to ask which was our favourite dish hard choice as they were all fantastic. Overall it was an amazing way to celebrate my fiancés birthday. read less

Staff were very attentive and very knowledgeable explaining each course when it was presented. We chose the seven course tasting menu. Each course was delicious and very different, well thought through. Relaxed atmosphere, not at all stuffy. I was driving so my husband had a couple of glasses of wine which were very reasonably priced. Look forward to returning when I will be trying the wine and husband can do the driving!

Spoilt somewhat by the extremely high level of noise and heat (despite being decidedly cool outside), and the fact we were sat right next to the door which for the first 40 minutes was constantly open/close. A few days earlier we passed the restaurant and saw the door into the area for tables-for-two was not being used so thought it unnecessary to specify a table when booking. Wrong. Overall we prefer the experience offered by TARE who’s prices are a little more competitive too. read less

I can also recommend the wine flight with a glass of wine to complement each course perfectly. The staff were friendly and informative and it’s lovely that the chef takes time to speak to all diners. This is the restaurant to go to in Bristol if you want Michelin standard food and a very special experience. read less
