About The Canteen

Tucked on Stokes Croft, this is a plant-based kitchen where everything on the menu is vegetarian or vegan, so there's no hunting for something the veggie child will eat. The menu changes regularly and the staff will happily talk you through it — people rave about the smashed potatoes, the mushroom burger, the sharing board, and a nut roast Sunday dinner that regulars reckon is the finest in the city. Food comes out fast, which matters when patience is thin. There's a big outdoor space, high chairs, buggy access, a kids' menu, and free parking. Prices are gentle for the quality. Worth knowing: it's a live music venue too, so it's busy from early evening and gets loud and dancey at weekends — lunch and early afternoon are the calm, child-friendly window.
