Restaurant · Bristol
Tucked upstairs in a shipping container by the harbour, this is a small, warm room — genuinely tiny, so a pram will need folding and it's better suited to an older child who can sit through a leisurely meal than a toddler mid-meltdown. The tasting menu unfolds over about two hours, each course introduced properly by the staff, who are down to earth, patient with questions and happy to work around a pescatarian, vegetarian or vegan. The halibut, the duck and a scallop with corn come up again and again, as do the desserts and the wines poured alongside them (there's a non-alcoholic pairing too). Outdoor seating helps enormously with space when it's open. Booking is essential, it's a special-occasion price, and one visitor warns it's "quite hard to find" — worth the hunt.
