Dominated by its fierce love of independent shops and rejection of the high-street chain, this very Bristolian notion seamlessly filters into the best restaurants in Bristol, too, meaning its culinary scene sings far beyond just the realms of the south west. From the suburban neighbourhood of Chandos Road, which continually blooms with more and more quality restaurants, to the grittier Stokes Croft with restaurants from tapas to Korean food, and the compact shipping container restaurants at Whapping Wharf, a food destination in its own right, Bristol really has it all. With a menu as loud and bold as its tangerine orange walls and red ceiling it's the creativity in cooking that sets Other, owned by Emma Lyons and Zak Hitchman, apart from similar restaurants.
