Vegetarian restaurants in Bristol
Written by Gillian McKeith
Bristol has been cooking meat-free food properly since long before the rest of the country caught up, and the standard shows. The kitchens here understand pulses, which is rarer than it should be, and they know how to build a plate that leaves you satisfied rather than heavy.
Ask what came from the local growers this week. Somebody will know the answer. Nobody pays to be included here.

I'm Gillian McKeith: television presenter, creator of the global hit show You Are What You Eat, writer, nutritionist, and the editor behind this guide. Every Bristol entry here is chosen and written by me. I judge kitchens on the things that actually matter: real ingredients, honest sourcing, vegetables cooked with care, and food you feel better for eating.
Nothing on this page is a paid placement. Restaurants cannot buy a recommendation, and any listing marked as sponsored is labelled as such. If a kitchen slips, it comes out of the guide.
