  Menu (the last page also explain where their ingredients come from)

   My steak salad. The main dishes will be on the blackboard everyday. Today they have another jerk chicken salad also sounds really good. My salad is with green leaves and grilled aubergine.

   H had vegetarian quiche and salad as side dish. I like their side salad as well. The amount is enough for a light meal!! So many different kind of salad!

When we had friends visiting, we also took them here for English breakfast. Their full English breakfast is also great. Especially the tomato sauce of the baked beans, it's home made. Really, really tasty. The breakfast also comes with a free coffee or tea.

UK-FOOD [MARKET] Matina (St. Nicholas Mkt)

Matina

This is the best food stand at St. Nicholas market. The staff (owner?) is really kind, always says "hello! My friend! What would you like to have my friend?" We had a little chat with him, he comes to the shop around 8-9 in the morning and makes all the food before opening. Fresh, homemade food with local ingredient. I don't see any reason not to have our lunch there. ;)

   St. Nicholas Market                                     Matina. With some seats to eat in.

   Around 11:30 in the morning. If you come here between 12-2, you have to stay in a long queue.

   The kitchen.

   Vegetarian set. Looks fantastic!!

   My lamb wrap.

Their wrap is the best I've eaten in my life! Probably because of the bread they use is freshly made. Not like most wrap, the bread is thicker and has much nicer taste with all the fillings. Yumyum~~

This is definitely our first choice every time we come to St. Nicholas Market!!

They only have 2 main dishes, Okonomiyaki and Wonton. Both of us had Okonomiyaki this time. This type of Japanese pancake has always been my favorite dish. We have it in most night markets in Taiwan and I just can't not buying it when I go to the night market in Zhongli, my home town.

As a pop-up restaurent, you never know where they are going to be next time. When we saw that they are at Crofters Rights, we decided to go right away. Street food with a brilliant craft ale, nothing can be better than this! The display of the Okonomiyaki is nice. But, honestly, as a person who eats Okonomiyaki all the time (even in Japan), their Okonimiyaki is a bit different than the original one. It tastes good, just different. I rekon it's because of the cabbage. I haven't see the same cabbage as the one we use in Taiwan and Japan here in the UK. Neither in Australia. With the British cabbage it's difficult to make exactly same Okonomiyaki as the original one. I totally understand that.

Maybe next time I should choose wonton and see how it goes ha!

This cafe has 2 shops in Bristol. One in the city centre at Queen Square one in Clifton. H went to the one at Queen Square first, when we were in Clifton one day we decided to come here for a quick lunch.

Everyday they have lots of fresh and lovely sandwich options. Green salad and quiche.

Another day when we went to Clifton, I went to this cafe again and had afternoon tea there. Their carrot cake is good. The icing is not too sweet. The tea pot is the same one as Tate Modern. You can buy it from the museum shop. I love it so much!!

 

No matter quick lunch or afternoon tea, I think this cafe is definitely a top choice. :))

We have walked pass this restaurant many times, finally we made up our mind to give it a try. Moroccan food never let us down. Our favorate food stand in St. Nicholas Market is Moroccan food. This one is also a really nice restaurant. With affordable price and proper seats. We definitely will come back in the future. :))
