TASTING BRISTOL – Is This The UK's Greatest Food City?

48 HOURS IN BRISTOL 🇬🇧 — is this the UK’s BEST food city?! In this episode of TASTING BRISTOL, we’ve got just 48 hours to eat our way through some of the BEST restaurants, bars, and hidden gems in the city… and Bristol seriously delivered. From a hidden restaurant inside Bristol Lido, to what might be the BEST Jamaican food in the UK at Glen’s (inside a community centre 👀), to the #1 rated Korean restaurant in the country, Dongnae — this city completely surprised us. We also visit the legendary Italian spot Bianchis, incredible pasta at Little Hollows, amazing pastries at Farro Bakery, and classic bistro cooking at Lapin and Caper & Cure. Plus an award-winning vegetable-focused restaurant Root, before finishing at one of the UK’s top Michelin-starred restaurants, Wilsons… and plenty more along the way.
