Funny thing about hotel restaurants. So many seem as if they don't belong to the city they're in, well, City Cafe in Bristol is different. The modern, chic design makes for a most welcoming dining room with ambient lights that change colours and add to the sense of occasion. The location is right on Temple Quay with a very popular terrace outside for basking afternoons. Head chef Peter Quinion brings top-end experience to City Cafe, and has created several menus, with terrific veggie options, to tempt and delight you. Try starter of open lasagne of pigeon and wild mushrooms with Madeira butter sauce, main course of Monkfish roasted with lemon grass and citrus with mediterranean salsa and smoked paprika aioli, and pudding of orange and pink grapefruit creme brulee. The international wine list is a very good match for the inventive cooking.
