Folk House Cafe, Bristol
In the last few years, my experience of visiting the Folk House has been one of walking through the alleyway off Park St, walking into the little concrete garden, noting that there was no one about and then walking swiftly out again. I must have done it three or four times so this time I […]

Thai Classic, Whiteladies Rd
Just over a year ago I went speed dating at the downstairs bar at Channings in Clifton. Each date lasted around four minutes. The 20 women stayed at their allocated table and the men moved around the room. I found it amazing how much you could pick up about people from such a short space […]

The Lido, Bristol
My first visit to the Lido was for a black coffee in the middle of winter. The winding route to the quiet and shadowy Oakfield Place was confusing enough to make me late when I tried to follow it for my second visit last Autumn. The first visit was beautiful but quiet, cold and moody […]

Duck Confit Scotch Eggs
Duck Confit Scotch Eggs, originally uploaded by still awake. Wonderfully indulgent Scotch eggs with a crispy breadcrumbed exterior, an interior of just past soft boiled eggs, and a duck confit meat filling. Bought from @Sourcefoodcafe today (http://twitter.com/sourcefoodcafe). British tourists were taking photos of the bearded proprietor holding a bunch of coriander. I would have liked […]

Food: tyropita (cheese pie)
A post by eatbigbristol had me thinking about vegetarian dishes and not many recipes initially came to mind. This was surprising as most of the dishes I eat are veggie but they’re usually food thrown together or selected from a restaurant menu. Vegetarian dishes as intentional and known recipes aren’t that common for me but […]

Graze, a comfy experience
Friday night in Bristol and it’s after 9 o’clock by the time a friend arrives to visit for the weekend. We stop off for a quick drink in the Big Chill Bar and they have just stopped serving food. We decide to try out El Puerto, a tapas bar opposite the Arnolfini, for some food […]

Flinty Red, an adventure
I don’t even know why I was so excited about Flinty Red but I was nearly tripping to Cotham Hill last night. Admittedly, half the semi-skips up Park St were shuffle-and-hops to keep up with my longer legged companion, he of the “are you sure you don’t want to go to Nando’s” wit. He was […]

Dynasty, some thoughts on the dim sum
Dynasty is a Chinese restaurant on St Thomas St and is owned by Suzanna Ho who also owns Obento and Zen. Every day between 12 and five they serve dim sum which involves a wide range of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea. A pot of jasmine tea (£1.20) is brought to the table as […]
