The Bristolian

What's on the menu

The whole menu runs all day, so a late breakfast and an early lunch can share a table. There are meat, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, and the café buys from local suppliers, with free-range meat and eggs. Alongside teas and coffees you'll find smoothies, cakes and a short run of cocktails for a lazy weekend brunch. It is a dependable all-rounder whether you want a full breakfast, a light lunch or just coffee and a slice of cake.

How it works

There's no booking system: ask the staff for a table when you arrive, and expect to wait at busy weekend times. Payment is by card only. If the room is full, takeaway is available, and plenty of people carry their food off to a nearby park. Weekday mornings are usually the easiest time to get a table without waiting.

Around Picton Street

Picton Street is one of Montpelier's liveliest little streets, lined with independent shops and places to eat. Poquito Coffee is just a few doors away, and the South Indian restaurant Nadu is close by if you come back for dinner. From here it is an easy walk down to Stokes Croft for street art, or to Farro Bakery for something to take home.
