The Michelin Guide 2023 has now been published - and we’re fortunate in Bristol to have more than a dozen restaurants included, including two with a Michelin star.
Last night, a ceremony was held to launch the Michelin 2023 guide for Great Britain and Ireland - and at it the restaurants to receive Michelin stars, as well as the Green Stars for sustainability and other special awards, were announced.
‘If you’re looking for something a little different, head to Little Hollows Pasta, a rustic bar-cum-bistro where the pasta is freshly made in house each morning and then hung out in the window to dry. The Italian dishes have an honest heart, ingredients are top-notch, and flavours are rich and authentic; be sure to save room for one of the classic Italian desserts. The passion of the knowledgeable team is palpable.’
10. Lido restaurant, Clifton
‘Snack on flatbreads and small plates in the poolside bar or head up to the first floor former viewing gallery of this restored Victorian lido, with its retractable floor-to-ceiling doors and daily changing menu. Spanish, Mediterranean and Moorish dishes make good use of the wood-fired oven.'
11. Little French, Westbury Park
‘This neighbourhood bistro’s authentic Gallic feel will warm your soul. It’s family owned and run and is certainly a busy place, with visitors being warmly welcomed as if they were regulars. Well-executed dishes are fresh and hearty with a rustic style and bags of flavour; in the evening go for one of their sharing dishes. Service is friendly; ask for a booth beside the semi-open kitchen.’
12. Marmo, city centre - Bib Gourmand
‘The former Guardian Assurance Building sits in the heart of this bustling city and is a charming spot with plenty of character thanks to its high ceiling, parquet floor and panelled walls. The rustic look is a perfect fit for this on-trend osteria-cum-wine-bar, where Cosmo Sterck prepares a concise menu of flavour-packed Italian dishes in the open kitchen. His smiley wife Lily, meanwhile, takes care of the organic and biodynamic wines.’
