As a backpacker with a bar, this place is always full of people and seems to have lots of fun. We didn't know they have Sunday Roast as well until our neighbour told us. We were planning to take our visitors to 'Pipe and Slipers' for Sunday Roast but they were sold out. On the way to bus station we decided to give New Moon a try.

   Beef Roast.


    Nut roast (vegetarian option)

Their Sunday roast is actually quite good. Nice staff and chef, too. If it's sunny weather it's worth to come here as they have a huge place outside. :)

UK-FOOD [CAFE] Thali Cafe

The Thali Cafe
http://www.thethalicafe.co.uk/

They have five restaurants around Bristol. We usually go to the Montpelier and Clifton ones. Sometimes we will go to the one in Tabacco Factory for lunch because it's close to work.

I have been to Thali Cafe so many times but I didn't take photos every time. Just realized that I don't have many photos about their wonderful food.

Recently I went to them for lunch. At noon they do 'Meal Deal' which only costs £6,50 for an Indian Buroti, a side and it comes with small chai.

I had CHOWPATTY BEACH TANDOORI CHICKEN (Smoky whole spiced Mumbai favourite) and CHAAT MASALA FRIES. The Buroti is not over sauced (I hate when having buroti always ends up with sauce all over my hand and the wrap is very wet at the bottom), and there's rice in the filling so it makes the meal big enough for me.

You can always expect a great atomosphere in Thali when eating out. They also offer Tiffin which H and I think it's a brilliant option (too bad we are only 2 people. If we ever have a party that'll be great to take away from them).

If you ever visit Bristol, don't miss out Thali Cafe. It's one of the best Indian food in the city!

UK-FOOD [CAFE] Workhouse Cafe

Workhouse Cafe
Address: Perry Rd, Bristol, Avon BS1 5BG

  Cafe area
  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!
