Windmill

Taking Bookings

Prix Fixe Menu

Well worth the short drive out of Bristol, Windmill is blessed with views over the Bristol Channel. This country pub is perched high up on a hill, giving you a full whack of sea air - and if the weather isn't great? The restaurant has floor-to-ceiling windows, meaning you can still see everything.

Slug and Lettuce Bristol Harbourside

Taking Bookings

🌸 Kids Under 12 Eat For £1 on Sunday's ❤️

It's not just late night revelries at Slug & Lettuce, this Bristol bar and restaurant is also covering day light hours with their position next to the harbour. With outdoor seating near the water, the party staple has got cocktails and easy dinners with a view packaged up.

For a feel-good brunch with zero pressure, Slug and Lettuce Bristol offers refreshing alcohol-free options like the Sober Sunrise and TRIP CBD cans. Pair with a plant-based plate and enjoy a mellow, mindful brunch in the open air.

The White Lion Bar

Overlooking the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge and Avon Gorge, this smart Bristol restaurant has some of the most gorgeous views in the city. Upgrade birthday celebrations at this charming restaurant as you work your way through classic plates against an insane backdrop.

Bambalan

Gorgeous both inside and out, Bambalan puts the spotlight on North African and Mediterranean cuisines. Found in Bristol city centre, the relaxed restaurant has a vibrant roof terrace, perfect for watching the world go by and views of this laid back southwest hub.

Lido

For one of the most unique views in Bristol, you'll be hard pressed to beat Lido, the onsite restaurant to the swimming pool. The glass-fronted space is adjacent to the water, meaning you can watch swimmers do their lengths as you tuck into Spanish-inspired dishes.

Under The Stars Bristol

Looking for a chill spot where good vibes meet delicious food? Head to Under the Stars - Bristol's floating paradise moored on the Harbourside. Since 2010, this restored cargo ship has been serving up Mediterranean magic with a Bristolian twist.

From stone-baked pizzas and fresh tapas to bespoke cocktails, it's all about enjoying life on the water. The intimate interior makes it perfect for a cosy date night, but the top deck? It's a showstopper for sunset views and starlit dinners. And with regular live music, you're in for a treat on every visit.
