Breakfast at Wallfish Bistro in Clifton
Two days ago, I had some black-looking thick and ugly mushrooms on toast at River Cottage Cafe. They were most unpleasant to look at with the grimy streaks they left on my place and weren’t exactly exploding with flavour. A week before that I had been served the most beautiful looking girolles on toast served…

Favourite photos from last week
On Wednesday, last week, we went to visit Mersina’s childminder in Clifton. We then went by Papadeli where I enjoyed a delicious coffee and and a chocolate croissant while Mersina ate some of her plain croissant. It was lovely.

The Lahloo Pantry, Clifton
If any place was suited to host a fine dining experience in tea then it was meant to be Clifton and it could only be from Lahloo Tea. The premises of what used to be Thaiphoon have been transformed into a light and open establishment set over three levels. There are seats upstairs and downstairs…

Papadeli Cafe at the RWA
Papadeli is one of my favourite places for a coffee, a wander and some delicious food. Today they also set up shop a few hundred metres closer to me at the Royal West of England Academy. The decaf, double shot, Americano was very nice and there is a selection of cakes, sandwiches and various other…

Arch House Deli, Clifton
Chipotle chilli mayonnaise for £3.00 and lavender rice pudding for £3.50 are just two of the reasons that make the Arch House Deli a special treat to visit. The varied, and mostly imported, products in this emporium mean that it is extremely colourful but also slightly out of reach in terms of cost. Some events…

Revisiting Thali Cafe, Clifton
My first visit to the Thali Cafe in Clifton wasn’t a brilliant success, far from it. The food was tasty but the service wasn’t the most enjoyable. The air seemed heavy and everything seemed to drag. We left without leaving a tip. However we were eager to go back and try again. The food was…

Thali Cafe, Clifton
I thought the service was pretty poor but I still enjoyed the food. The indifference and boredom of the staff was only comparable to the time I went to Hotel du Vin, stood at the bar for 10 minutes without acknowledgement, then turned around and walked out. I wasn’t particularly fussed about missing out on…

Fishers, a seafood restaurant in Clifton
There are two Fishers restaurants, one opened in Oxford in 1995 and the second in Clifton, Bristol, in 2001. The second location was the setting of our dinner on Saturday and 11 of us gathered to celebrate two birthdays. The restaurant interior is designed in a nautical theme: ventilator pipes, sails on the celings, ships…
