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.

Absolutely superb lunch menu today. Incredibly tasty food, perfectly cooked and wonderfully served. I’m really impressed by the cooking at this place. Top notch.

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.

The best meal out we've had in Bristol for years. We had the chef's menu, which felt really special and great value at £65. Every course was stunning, delicious, excellently executed. The service was quick but not rushed, and the people clearly love what they do. If you're doing dry January like me, I recommend the muri range, fantastic selection of non-alcoholic drinks that don't feel like a cop out. We enjoyed every minute at this place.

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!

Super tasty food, friendly service and excellent wine pairing! We had the normal and veggie tasting menu. Highly recommend! The dessert was so good we got it twice!

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….
