The Galley

Went here for a pop up restaurant evening last week (they hire the venue out in the evenings), what a beautiful place! Tucked away next to Siam Harbourside, it's very cosy inside with a truly welcoming feel.

The upstairs is divided into two rooms - one overlooking Hotwell Road, the other looking out the back towards the water - with the kitchen downstairs. We were pleased to discover that they sold Bundaberg ginger beer, not seen it anywhere else!

During the day, they serve a range of breakfasts, salads and sandwiches at very reasonable prices - and with big portions too, it seems. At night, you can hire out the whole venue, which holds up to 50 people.

Delicious generous portions made to perfection in a cosy location with a fabulous selection of cakes and harbourside views! Veggie breakfast is a winner! Strongly recommend!!

Good decor, pretty good music, food was nice but a little overpriced for lunch, the floor was quite messy with scraps of cardboard, a HP bottle and spoon under my table, and the waitress seemed away with the fairies and put the tea saucer on the table without the cup which i had to wait for 5 minutes for her to return to bring.

Great little cafe that we stumbled upon by chance. We got in just in time for breakfast as they have a break between 11.30 and 12 to get the kitchen ready for lunch. I had a full veggie breakfast, my wife only had egg on toast and a mate had beans on toast but all of these were as good as they could be. The full veggie was gorgeous and even the toast for the other meals was nice thick cut fayre. We couldn't resist a few cakes either and they had a really nice, relatively healthy vegan cake. Very friendly service and great decor. Prices were ok too given that it's in the south and the food was top notch. An excellent find!

Cosy friendly and well located café opposite the harbour in Hotwells. Good drinks and a nice menu... Think they do roast dinners too.

One of those secret places to discover in Bristol, oh boy I was surprised! the food was delicious and the staff was superb, vegan friendly. Also the coolest pint glass.

Great hats, fun manager... but throwing glass bottles away in this day and age is just stunningly bad. Make an effort, we only have one Earth.

CAUTION may now be closed: One of a kind, relaxed, informal, unpretentious eatery run by charming owner. Breakfast good, roast beef on Sunday, delectable! Waterfront eating out, on sunny days. If you're by the waterfront, don't walk by, drop in and try something delicious.
