Hidden away under busy Corn Street, beneath local drinking spot The Commercial Rooms, lies The Ox, a restaurant offering the best in British cuisine. Providing everything from the best steaks to exquisite cocktails, this is truly a dining experience not to be missed. The exclusive atmosphere and quirky cool décor further adds to the ambience.

The Rummer a historic public house/bar/restaurant in St.Nicholas Market, Bristol, UK. Image shot 2016. Exact date unknown.

What was once a historic inn has been revamped into a cocktail bar and fine-dining restaurant. The Rummer is an independently run establishment located next to the famous St Nick’s market, originally built in 1200s. The interior still holds on to many of its original characteristics, and has an old-world charm to it. The award-winning kitchen offers up steaks, Sunday lunches and more, along with a vast offering of cocktails — they even have a craft distillery in the cellars!

5. Adelina Yard

Restaurant, British, European, Vegetarian, Vegan

Having only opened its doors in 2016, Adelina Yard has quickly established itself as a hotspot among Bristol foodies. Opened by chefs Jamie Randall and Olivia Barry, who moved to the South West from London, the menu is exquisitely put together and somewhat pared-back, choosing quality over pretentiousness: expect classic dishes with a modern twist, and service that is second to none. They even bake their own bread and churn their own butter!
