Bristol's award-winning Bank restaurant team to open exciting new French dining spot Lapin at Wapping Wharf

Dan O’Regan and Jack Briggs-Horan, the owner & founder and executive chef & co-owner of Bank on Wells Road in Totterdown, plan to launch new French restaurant Lapin at Cargo 2 in Wapping Wharf on Wednesday, April 2.

Lapin will centre around a more classical style of eating out, with a seasonal menu built around starters, mains and desserts.

Wine will play a big role at the restaurant, with a wide-ranging list of French vintages and some French styles from around the world.

Dan said: “Having enjoyed such success and support for our wood fired sharing plates ethos at BANK, we’re unbelievably excited to be opening a restaurant that’s inspired by the inimitable style of French cooking.

“Warm hospitality, and a relaxed convivial spirit, backed up by playful twists on French classics, are going to be our foundation, and we really can’t wait to welcome both new and existing guests through our doors.

“Wapping Wharf is without a doubt a bastion of incredible restaurants in Bristol. From having our neighbourhood restaurant in Totterdown, it felt right to branch out to such a vibrant and community-minded part of the Bristol dining scene.”
