River Grille Restaurant
I love
visiting Bristol and was looking forward to dining at the much heard about
River Grille restaurant at the Bristol Hotel.
The
River Grille is located in the centre of the city and has beautiful views of
the Harbourside. The restaurant has two entrances: the hotel access is via Prince Street and also a separate entrance for non-guests on Narrow Quay
by the Harbourside.

The
restaurant is light and airy, the entire front is glass cased with floor to ceiling
windows overlooking the river, so we got to see the beautiful view during our
dinner.

The
River Grille serves modern British cuisine using local produce from the West
Country. The menu changes with the seasons to reflect the best in seasonal
produce: for starters we had the goats cheese and manuka honey with walnut
sourdough and rocket salad and severn and wye smoked salmon, rilletes and pickled
cucumber.

For
mains we both chose seafood dishes, inspired by the stunning view of the river:
the Cornish mussels and special of the day market fish. The fish was fresh and
very tasty and the mussels were delicious, full of flavour and generous portion
too!

If
you’re a fan of rich indulgent deserts then try dark chocolate mousse, pumpkin custard and pistachio ice cream, delicious!

The
River Grille is a sophisticated restaurant with the perfect mix of a relaxed
and informal atmosphere. The à la carte menu was not complicated, with a good
selection of dishes to choose from. The quality of food was fantastic, freshly prepared using the best local produce.
What
really made our experience at the River Grille so special was the attention to
detail and excellent service. The staff were polite and took time to explain
the menu to us and make recommendations on the choice of wine. The River Grille
is a perfect choice for a special occasion or just to experience sophisticated
dining in a beautiful setting.
