Here are Ri’s top-five Bristol favourites:
Hart’s Bakery

“Seeing a queue come out of the door (usually in the rain) is no rare sighting at Hart’s Bakery. No sausage roll has topped Hart’s yet and I say that with pride. Perfect pastries and a fast-paced, vibrant atmosphere.”
The Hillgrove
The Hillgrove in Kingsdown is one of five Dawkins pubs in Bristol
“The Hillgrove has everything you want from a pub. Great beers, walls full of coasters and a cosy garden for those summer evenings. It’s worth the climb up Nine Tree Hill.”
Coffee & Beer

“Coffee & Beer on Cotham Hill is one of my favourite coffee shops in Bristol. Minimalist decoration with a far from minimal range of coffees and beers from the very best in the industry. It had become my go-to after work Friday beer stop and I love it.”
Caper & Cure

“A limited menu but by no means simple. Caper & Cure has one of the best brunch in Bristol with top quality dinners and very enjoyable cocktails.”
Tobacco Factory Sunday Market

“How many stalls can you fit in a medium sized courtyard behind an old tobacco factory that is now a bar-cum-theatre? Turns out, a lot. Coffee, pastries, clothes, art, records, antiques, groceries, street food, plants are all on offer at the Tobacco Factory Sunday Market. It’s a great morning out so get ya’self down there once we’re out of lockdown.”
