Chef's Table

"In the old part of the city close to the famous docks you’ll find this intimate, personally run, 2-room restaurant, with a small front terrace, a warm service team and a buzzing atmosphere. The two menus – most diners plump for the tasting menu – offer original, modern and sometimes intricate dishes, which are aesthetically striking and full of flavour." - Michelin Inspector

My partner and I finally went for a meal at this wonderful restaurant after moving to the neighbourhood last year. We were blown away by the fantastic service and truly sensational food. The presentation of each course was beautiful and it really felt like the menu took us on a journey as every dish was so unique. The wine pairings were incredibly well thought out too and complimented the food perfectly. The friendly front of house team went above and beyond and were extremely knowledgeable on both the food and wine. Thanks for a very special evening, we will definitely be returning!

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a heavenly evening for her birthday at The Chef’s Table in Bristol. We started with aperitifs and hors d'oeuvres in the sun—an unforgettable prelude to what followed: five exceptional courses of fine dining at its very best. Each dish was beautifully paired with superb wines, thoughtfully introduced by the knowledgeable and attentive staff. A flawless experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Me and my husband came here a couple of months ago for a meal for my birthday. We had the 7 course menu and it was delicious! This is our second time here and it's such a treat. Really lovely fancy food, but in a relaxed setting. We had a window seat and it was lovely looking out onto Bristol. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a tasting menu in Bristol! Thanks Conrad and the team! 😃

We had a great experience for a birthday dinner, we all chose the signature menu and the food was amazing, the portion size was very generous with the added bonus of some delicious canapés and focaccia! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly! We will definitely be back soon.

The 2 star is purely comparing this to its competitors. I was a little apprehensive and mentioned to my wife on the way that it was very easy to book a table with plenty of space last minute, why is somewhere like that so quiet. Whilst there, there were a fair few empty tables. I'm going to start by saying it is massively disappointing giving what was expected. Incredible how it's kept 2 rosette if I'm honest. Our bill came to just over £300 Parking - spot on, plenty just accross the road. Accessible- perfect, disabled people will have no issue here. The atmosphere is nice, it was warm, relaxed, clean, good lighting and the smells coming from the kitchen were great. Greeted with a smile and very friendly lady who couldn't have been more welcoming. Offered drinks straight off the bat, I mentioned about having a wine flight and from that moment everything seems to feel a bit fractured, it's like I disturbed the routine by not wanting another drink before the wine started and then it felt very un easy. When the first glass of wine came she asked me "would you like me to go through the explanation of the wine or shall I just pour it ?" This was awkward, i think she could tell so gave a very loose description. The wine was nice, descriptions were very loose and I asked questions with a "i don't know" so I think some more training on the wine would be good. The food. . . Don't get me wrong the food was ok, I always look for that thing that stands out, that's item that makes me smile but unfortunately that did not exist here, i would put most of the courses as something I would expect to have at marriot hotel wedding function if I'm honest. There was not a massive amount of flavours going on. I'm being very harsh due to where this placing is trying to set itself and the money it's charging it a well under par and nowhere near it's competitors. The entries were nice. The purree on the dishes were pointless as there was hardly any on there and just for presentation however the purree was also like glue to the plate after being left under the lights for too long. Veal was cooked really nice, the jus was very intense and tasted like marmite. Squab was over and dry. The john dory was slightly over cooked but I'm picking hairs with that one. (Which I'm going to do with the prices if I'm honest) The Scallops... well .... Huxley disappointed. It was tasteless and the sushi was well over done. This just didn't fit at all on the menu to start with but was just a really poor executed plate. I didn't eat it all. The first dessert was really nice, reminded me of what my grandmother used to make us when we were kids. The second dessert (i didnt take a pucture) seemed to be very lost. Each individual item tasted fine but it was like a chef thought oh I'm good at these let's put them on one plate and see what happens, weird. Overall it's like this place was coming out of the 80s but kind of got stuck getting out of it didn't really see anything modern there, still garnished with green leaf for a start. Food was very medium, I'd still be giving it a low rating if the price was lower. Every other table got asked if they wanted to talk to the chef after appart from us I promised my wife that I would kindly refuse the chef as she knows I'd have said something and she hates that, he came over any way and took the feedback great, had a chat also and was a friendly guy. For a tasting menu experience there are far better places to go in Bristol for the money, Wilsons for example. For a Dinning experience again the food is dated and not fantastic, little french walks all over the food here. It is just not up to par and punching well above its weight. We won't be back unfortunately but thank you. Just to finish off I've come back to this review after uploading pictures. The food was that far under parr that there were dishes served to me less than 10 hours ago and I completely forgot about them. . . .the pictures reminded me. . . So yea £300 well spent ......... clearly

Had a lovely meal last night. I was hoping for a special and yummy meal and it was perfect. My only regret is not being able to finish the chateaubriand, it was delicious especially all of the sides. Some of the dishes were real works of art. Highly recommend!

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Chef's Table and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and pampered. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere was charming and inviting, and the food was absolutely divine. Every dish we had was exceptional, but the veal deserves special mention. It was cooked to perfection, melting in our mouths with an explosion of flavor. The soufflé and the Pavlova were simply irresistible, and we're not typically dessert lovers. And let's not forget the Negroni – it was hands down the best we've ever had. What truly set this dining experience apart was the genuine care and attention we received. The chef even took the time to chat with us at the end of our meal, which we found incredibly thoughtful, especially considering how busy the kitchen must have been. As someone with multiple food allergies, I was also incredibly grateful for how accommodating and understanding the staff were. They made sure I felt comfortable and catered to my needs without any fuss. We can't wait to return and experience it all over again!

Fantastic! A hidden gem here in Bristol. A quaint restaurant with an easy atmosphere but a VERY high standard on both service and food. You can get the passion that is put into the food by chef Raffaela, who we were very privileged to meet and talk to which showed her ethos even clearer. The high standard of food was only matched by the fantastic wine pairing and staff. Attentive and very knowledgeable but not overbearing, very professional but makes for an easy going atmosphere. We've been privileged to eat in many high level restaurants around the country but if you can, don't miss out on this West country gem. Don't miss out, book today! We've already rebooked for Feb, it's that good!!
