Mediterranean Restaurants in Bristol
1. The Olive Tree, Queensberry Hotel
British, Modern restaurant in Bath
Russell St - BA1
“Excellent in all respects” – nothing but upbeat reports this year on Chris Cleghorn’s well-known and much accoladed basement dining room: the only Bath restaurant with a Michelin star and with a long history as a foodie Mecca. The dining focus here is on the six-course and nine-course tasting menus, but if you just want to pay a visit they do serve breakfast and a simpler lunch. Nothing but praise too this year for its basement quarters, which fans say are “perfect for a special celebration”.
2. Gambas
Spanish restaurant in Bristol
Unit 15 Cargo 2, Wapping Wharf - BS1
This “lovely tapas bar in the fashionable Cargo development” has earned strong ratings across the board since taking over Russell Norman’s Spuntino shipping-container perch. It is a sibling of Wapping Wharf neighbour Cargo Cantina and Bravas in Cotham, in Kieran and Imogen Waite’s Season & Taste group.
3. Lido
Mediterranean restaurant in Bristol
Oakfield Place - BS8
One of the country’s more eccentric restaurant settings – a Victorian lido’s viewing gallery whose plate-glass windows overlook a heated open-air pool, where swimmers plough their watery furrows in all weathers. Feedback has dwindled since its early years but continues to rate it well.
4. Bravas
Mediterranean restaurant in Bristol
7 Cotham Hill - BS6
This popular tapas joint wins consistently sold ratings all round and is “even better now that there is space outside”. It is part of Kieran & Imogen Waite’s local Season + Taste group, with stablemates Bakers & Co in Gloucester Road and Cargo Cantina and Gambas in Wapping Wharf. Their Stokes Croft Mexican, Masa + Mezcal, was a victim of the 2020 lockdown.
