Glass Boat Restaurant

The Glassboat Restaurant has been a Bristol institute for nearly 25 years in the historic Harbourside area of the city, consisting of two decks on a lovingly-converted barge. The location definitely makes the Glassboat Restaurant one the city's premier venues for dining, business entertainment, partying or simply relaxing. Read on to find out how food critic Mark Taylor regards this restaurant.

"When it comes to Bristol restaurants, the Glassboat is still very much the place to entertain, whether it's business clients, family occasions or romantic meals for two. With its dockside setting, candlelit tables, thick white linen cloths, polished wooden floors and marble bar, it has a certain ‘wow’ factor, which draws people in". Mark Taylor of the AA Restaurant Guide and Bristol Evening Post.

Service at the Glassboat Restaurant is professional without being starchy, and the 150-strong wine list is made up from a perfect blend of the very best of the old and new world. And for a truly unique dining experience, the Boat is open for weekday breakfast and lunch, plus there’s an a la carte dinner six nights a week. There is also a set price menu available for parties of 10 guests or more, as well as Sunday lunch.
