"This busy, welcoming little restaurant occupies five first-floor shipping containers on Wapping Wharf, a thriving neighbourhood with an array of top eateries. Vegetables lead the way here, with the majority of dishes being vegetarian and utilising the best produce from small local suppliers in simple yet flavour-packed sharing plates. Ingredients from carrots to hispi cabbage are elevated with well-balanced and wholly satisfying flavour combinations. There’s a terrific buzz and the service team run their deservedly popular restaurant admirably smoothly." - Michelin Inspector
Shipping Container Dining: The Eco-Friendly Trend That’s Here To Stay
"Root is another Michelin-recommended Wapping Wharf restaurant – occupying five first floor shipping containers – but what makes this restaurant a little different is its focus on locally sourced vegetables, with meat and fish taking a backseat. The well-priced, seasonally influenced small plates are made for sharing and, whilst they may look simple, they are packed with flavour." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Vegetables take center stage at this welcoming restaurant, with meat and fish taking a back seat. It’s set in five first-floor shipping containers on the Wapping Wharf redevelopment; the large terrace is a popular spot come summer—and the young team runs the place with smiles on their faces. Seasonal produce from small local suppliers is used in simple yet flavor-packed combinations; they reckon three small plates per person is about right." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team

Interesting flavours! Definitely worth a try to explore vegetarian dishes with hints of familiar tastes.
The house bread is a 10/10, airy and chewy bread with a crispy salty crust. The kohlrabi dish was delightfully fresh and my favourite would be the grilled leek dish, though I was not the biggest fan of the smoky flavour since it tasted quite strong. The pork chops could be a little more tender, but it paired wonderfully with the refreshing tomatoes on the plate.
We ordered a pavlova to share for dessert and it was a lovely light and sweet treat to end the meal.

What an evening. The staff firstly were incredible, the cocktails and drinks list were perfect and the food was out of this world. So happy I've found this place so I can come back again and again!

So so good! I love that the vegetarian/vegan options are more plentiful than the meat & fish! The food was absolutely delicious and the location+atmosphere was just perfect for a sunny evening in Bristol. Will hopefully be back again 💜

Absolutely incredible from start to finish. I can’t stop telling everyone about how amazing this place is! Insane food and everyone working there was so lovely. It made my birthday extra special, especially as the staff surprised me with candles and limoncello! Gorgeous vibes. Will return asap!

What an amazing place! Their rosemary bread is addictive and the smoked beetroot was possibly the best veggie dish I have ever eaten. Everything was prepared with care and great attention. Great spot if around or visiting Bristol.

Wonderful food. I have never been into vegetarian options, but this was extremely amazing experience and will go back again. A bit pricy and small portions but tasty and great opportunities to try new foods and different plates, menus is daily based, we tried wiped feta cheese, raddish, monkfish, crispy potatoes.

Absolutely amazing restaurant!! We couldn’t pick where to go as there are so many to choose from but this one was upstairs and had a great vibe and I can say that the service and food was even better! If it’s on the menu since they change it a lot, you MUST order the bread and the feta! I can honestly say it’s the best bread I have ever had in my life!

Root was an amazing experience! Great location, fabulous service and incredible food!! Three of us dined there, one vegetarian, one gluten free and one eat anything and we were all beyond happy with what we ordered. Every bite better than the next. We loved it so much we plan to return again in a few days.
