Tare Bistro

Very good value for lunch deal which started well with lovely and refreshing Isle of Wight tomatoes salad and tempura aubergine with ponzu sauce. Both starters were bursting with bright citrusy flavour which makes you reach out for more after every bite. The pork main was a posh roast with thyme flavoured potatoes puree and jus. Unfortunately the meal was let down at the end by the chocolate mousse dessert which we found way too sweet with the combination of the sweet mousse, sweet preserved cherries and sweet sauce. We barely finished the chocolate dessert and gave the feedback to the waitress but nothing was done to rectify the issue we had. I been to the original Tare restaurant before and I really enjoyed my experience before. I think the new bistro concept is a good idea to make fine dining food more affordable and I support that. I hope to see some improvement in the execution of food and service and I will definitely go back to try the food again.

This is a lovely discovery! Went there with First Table and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food is exquisite, and there is lovely wine selection. The starters arrived together, but the other dishes arrived one after the other, perfectly timed. Everything tasted delicious. We were a bit greedy and had a total of six dishes between the two of us, plus three starter. Two mains would have been enough. We will definitely come here again!

Loved the food! Great small plates - good seasonal menu, well prepared & presented, and great flavours. A small teams works well together, in a confided space, to offer a pleasant & efficient service. Not sure about putting a restaurant in a shipping container though!! Actually, not sure why there is a 'gaggle' of shipping containers in the old port area. Containers are not part of the history of this part of the port and not at all well suited to hosting what should be a good dining experience! Just my point of view!!

Wow wow wow. I have eaten some pretty amazing food at some incredible places but I think this might be one of the best, and I do not say that lightly. The service was outstanding and the food was phenomenal, plus I also think the pricing was very reasonable for the quality. We had the sourdough, potato, haddock and scotch egg to start. The tempura asparagus, pork belly, prawn cannelloni and the duck for main and we finished with the chocolate mouse- everything was 10/10. What an absolute bristol gem, I could not have faulted a single thing. Thank you!

We had a delicious lunch here. Exciting flavours and beautifully executed dishes. Excellent vegetarian options. Tip - get some bread for the table to mop up the lip-smacking sauces in the Isle of Wight tomatoes & tempura brocolli dishes. The vanilla custard tart was perfection. Great friendly service and a nice atmosphere.

We recently visited Bristol for the weekend, and I booked this place for my husband's birthday. It is a truly special place - we had one of the best dinner experiences here ! The quality of the food and the exquisite flavours exceeded our expectations. The tasting menu was incredible, and I loved every dish. The staff provided exceptional service, making it the most attentive dining experience I've ever had. The wine flight they offered was also absolutely delicious. We will be back on our next trip to Bristol. I think this restaurant is definitely on its way to a Michelin Star🌟

Tare exceeded all expectations with a fantastic tasting menu for the evening. Everything was packed with flavor and plated beautifully. The atmosphere of the cargo containers make this place feel more casual and comfortable but still has high standards for quality of food without being stuffy.

Excellent meal. Really good. But like others have said, the service needs to get better and the toilets being a walk away outside is an issue in the rain. However, easy fixes and I expect a Michelin star at some point soon….
