1847

It's always really nice to find a Veggi restaurant that is a bit fancy as you usually end up going to a laid back hippy café (nothing wrong with that!).

1847 is gorgeous, it's quite small but the food was excellent and beautifully presented. The service was very efficient, so much so that we were in and out in about an hour.

The food is really excellent, the price is quite high but I think that is a reflection of the quality and ambiance, it's not the kind of place you would go everyday.

We went to Bristol for Christmas and had a delicious Christmas Eve dinner. We were quite surprised and suspicious at the beginning, as there was no other customers! But we changed our minds as soon as we got out meal. Everything was so tasty and nicely presented! My husband is meat-eater but even he was impressed. The portions were big, so we were full and unfortunately there was no space left for desert...
Definitely will go there again if we are in Bristol next time!
I wish there was restaurant like that a bit closer to London!

Went for dinner on the 11th. We had one course each and shared a dessert. I had the cauliflower and pearl barley risotto, which was incredible and unlike anything I've tasted before. My partner had the sage and lentil croquettes, which is actually a starter (we had eaten snacks before), this too was really tasty. Dessert was apple and cinnamon rice donuts with pear and coconut malabi. I didn't care for the malabi, but the donuts themselves were really tasty, would probably prefer them with something else like an apple sauce or caramel. Staff were very very friendly and attentive, and the furniture and vibe of the place was really nice. Would definitely go again.

the opening hours shown are wrong- as per their website they are closed as above

My partner and I had 2 courses for £19.50 each and one soft drink and a coffee, plus a service charge was added to our bill, taking the bill to £50.
I had something (I can't remember the name) served on a slate, 3 rolls of aubergine with chopped nuts(?) inside, on a bed of soya yoghurt and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. It was very bland. My partner had the lentil soup which apparently was very good, but served a little cool for her liking.
I had the surf'n'turf as a main which was nearly a whole aubergine with some kind of reduction served on top, it was incredibly bland, it was hard to cut through with the cheap knife, the potatoes it was served with were nice enough, but the seaweed(?) side was lovely and there was just enough to spread on the incredibly dull aubergine. The tempura samphire was a nice touch aesthetically but had lost its flavour. Nutritionally the meal is mainly water and clearly not considered. I would also apply the same non-consideration to flavour. I've never paid so much and had something so dull.
My partner had 'fish and chips', she had the vegan option so it was fried smoked tofu in batter with a small basket of chips. The 3 pieces of tofu looked great on the plate with small dollops of mustard, I have zero idea why you'd serve mustard though. It makes no sense. The smoked flavour of the tofu was minimal so made for a bland main with an incongruous condiment. The chips were double fried, so no potato flavour, just oil.
This is the worst review I've had to leave on Happy Cow, I feel genuinely sad about it. I want to be able to support every vegetarian/vegan business, but it's more important to let other would-be customers know of how their experience could go.

The staff were excellent and really friendly. The choice of food and drink was pretty good and the food was brilliant. liked the whole ethos of the place. A wee bit pricier than the other veggies but a bit more upmarket

Lots of tasty vegan options bundled in with a fine dining style atmosphere. I would very much like to take omnivorous family members back here as the food is "fancy" enough that they would forget that they were not eating meat. A good example of how impressive vegan/veggie food can taste and look.

At last a vegetarian restaurant in the centre of Bristol. Really tasty and creative food at prices that don't require a bank loan, plenty of vegan options, lovely interior, with very friendly and helpful staff. My new favourite place.

Really lovely meal, big portions, fairly priced. Great service with friendly staff. Couldn't fit a pudding in! The battered aubergine side dish is a must try - loved it.
