Tapas Revolution has been making a bit of a name for itself not just in tapas circles, but general restaurant circles since this modest chain (there are 7 branches across the UK at the time of writing) first launched in London in 2010. Part of this has to do with the brand’s charismatic founder, chef… Read More Review: Tapas Revolution, Bath
Unsurprisingly, there was quite the excitement when The Ivy said they’d be making the trip down the M4 to show us West Country folk what proper sophistication looks like. The Ivy has built up quite the name for itself in the past 100 years (woah) that it’s been a West End staple, and now the… Read More Review: The Ivy Clifton Brasserie, Bristol
In the midst of all the exciting new businesses opening across Bristol every month, it’s easy to forget some of the culinary stalwarts of the city. When I first moved to Bristol in 2008, I used to go Fishers a lot – I love seafood, and not only was the food top notch, but the… Read More Review: Fishers, Bristol
I have to say, in all of my worldy brunch adventures , I’ve never eaten fried chicken for breakfast. In fact, I’d go so far to say that it had never even crossed my mind (and I think about brunch and fried chicken a lot respectively). So it was with considerable glee that I responded to… Read More Review: Brunch at Chicken Shack, Bristol
Well, Canton has just gotten a bit more fun! Only the other day I was wandering around in Pontcanna, wishing there was a nice place for some cocktails. Of course there are options, but none that really tickle my fancy. Cowbridge road East has always been a great destination for foodies and it especially delivers… Read More Review: Vivo Latino Cardiff

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
When one of my good friends recently celebrated her birthday she decided to spend the evening partying on down at TGI Friday’s in Cabot Circus. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always seen TGIs as synonymous with birthday parties and teenage first dates. As such I don’t find myself going there so much anymore, although… Read More Review: TGI Friday’s, Bristol
Excuse me if this review seems a bit incoherent. I’m currently in a sugar coma, the most beautiful and delicious of comas. A couple of days ago, I was informed that a Danish bakery called Brød had opened around the corner from me in Pontcanna. Naturally, I reacted in a professional manner as usual: A Danish… Read More Review: Brød The Danish Bakery, Cardiff
I was eagerly awaiting the opening of Flour & Ash on Cheltenham Road. The idea of having sourdough pizza and ice cream on my doorstep had me ridiculously excited. There’s always a concern that somewhere you’ve been looking forward to visiting will disappoint, but I was very pleased with what I saw when I finally went along.… Read More Review: Flour & Ash, Bristol
Maybe we’ve watched too many episodes of Kitchen Nightmares, but these days when we see an extensive menu at a bar or restaurant, it fills us with dread. Besides the fact that having too many choices will make it harder to choose, we also wonder how fresh the food can be for such a wide variety… Read More Review: Revolution
