Healthy restaurants in Bristol.

Written by Gillian McKeith

Bristol has been doing this properly for longer than almost anywhere else in Britain, and you can taste it. Plant cooking here was never a trend bolted onto a menu to keep up. It is simply how a whole generation of independents learned to cook.

My list runs from the old vegan institutions to tiny kitchens buying from growers within an hour's drive. Prices are kinder than London and, I will be honest with you, the cooking is frequently better.

I look at ingredients first, always. What is grown, how it is sourced, and whether the chef gives a carrot the same care and attention they would give a fillet of fish.
