When the weather finally arrives, there’s nothing better than sitting in the sunshine and have a catch-up meal with family and friends.
We have rounded up some of the Bristol’s best restaurants with stunning alfresco dining areas.
From waterside spots with great views of the floating harbour to tucked away places in neighbourhood areas, there are plenty of options.
Here are ten of the best, but if we’ve missed your favourite alfresco dining venue, do let us know so we can update the list over the coming weeks.

9. The Ostrich, Lower Guinea Street, Redcliffe
On the historic harbourside at Redcliffe, this Georgian pub has a large quayside beer garden which gets packed with diners and drinkers on warm summer days. | Ostrich

10. Mud Dock, The Grove
A bike shop with a restaurant and bar upstairs, Mud Dock has been a Bristol Harbourside institution for decades and the panoramic harbour views from the terrace are second to none. | Google
