It’s already well established how much I like food, and how I make it my business to try as many of Bristol’s newest bars and restaurants as soon as they open, and so it was that I bought my boyfriend and I tickets for the Bristol Food Tour as a Christmas present – then found out… Read More The Bristol Food Tour
This is just a quick ode to one of my lunchtime staples – I was always loyal to the earlier incarnation of this tasty spot (Baowow), with it’s five quid lunches and much appreciated role in introducing me to the flavour sensation that are bao and bahn mi. Baowow got a makeover and relaunched as… Read More Khao & Bao, Bristol
Craft bars have slowly made their way to Cardiff from Bristol and I for one am very happy. One of the latest bars to do that is Kongs, an 18+ only bar that features among others Pac-man and Streetfighter II arcade games. It’s essentially what you’d stereotypically call a man cave and a cave it… Read More Kongs Cardiff
If ever you wanted to know the true meaning of self discipline, it’s attending a gym that requires you to walk past a veritable feast of cakes, sandwiches and other tempting goodies before you’ve so much as put on your training socks. Of course, this is a problem particular to me, and the rest of… Read More Review: Club Haus, Bristol
Finding an intimate, atmospheric restaurant in central Bristol can be a challenge. Yet nestled in Haymarket Walk, between the Bearpit and the bus station, is Flow – a little gem in the oddest of places. Two disclaimers here: Alex, the owner of Flow, is a buddy of ours, but hopefully it’s obvious by… Read More Review: Flow, Bristol
What a long overdue post! I’ve been eating at Kimchi for about 2 years now and haven’t reviewed it! I was so happy when I was moving to Cardiff that this Korean restaurant just around the corner from me opened. Apart from when I cook it myself, I don’t get to try Korean food that… Read More Review: Kimchi Cardiff
My list of Cardiff restaurants to try is longer than my arm. The best thing about pay day though is that I usually treat myself to a new restaurant I have been dying to try. One such excellent place was The Hellenic Eatery. Now Roath is a real destination for Mediterranean food but I also… Read More Review: The Hellenic Eatery Cardiff
Bristol is a veritable melting pot of delectable burger restaurants at the moment (what a mental image). Whether you prefer the grubbier end of the spectrum at Grillstock or MEATliquor, the customisable approach at The Burger Joint or the retro stylings at Atomic Burger, there’s something for everybody. I’ve been a loyal fan of the… Read More Review: Three Brothers Burgers, Bristol
I still remember the day Bagel Boy announced that they’d be opening their first proper shop – after sampling their excellent bagels at street food markets across Bristol I was a complete addict. The shop on St Nicholas Street in the centre is large enough that you can usually find a seat, even though… Read More Review: Bagel Boy, Bristol
Zero Degrees has been a constant of the Bristol bar landscape for me since I moved here in 2007, taking up a huge plot at the top of Colston Street, with its balcony giving a great view across Bristol on sunnier days. I’ve been a longstanding fan of their mango beer and pizza menu but was… Read More Review: Zero Degrees, Bristol
